why wouldn't you want to be a Teletubby? (don't want to be it either, but would like to know why he doesn't...)

Doesn't he use it anymore since its such a long time since he has been online? Last time was in june....

I remember way back when I first saw him in Home and Away (quite addictive show, been watching it for 13 years or so...), and when I then realised that he was one of the people in 10 things I hate about you, I was like 'awsome'. I can't really believe that he is gone. He was so talented. I really feel for his family. There's nothing more to say really....

I totally agree with you. "Because of you" made me cry before I saw the video, but it made me cry even more when I saw it. This is basically because that's how my life is right now. Other songs that make me cry is Christina Aguilera's "I'm OK". "Any other world" is the Mika song that make me cry, because I totally get what it is about.

I would love to be a published writer, and I am in the process of writing a book, and I have been writing it for years. I do this because I love to write, I have always loved to write. It is a way for me to channel my feelings and deal with them, for lets face it, I basicly write about my own life, well at the moment. But I would never write to become famous. I don't want to be famous really. I want recognition for what I do, of course, everyone want that, but I am so much more than a writer that hasn't been published. In six months I'm a qualified learning disability nurse, and I already know I do something that matters to other people, thats why I have no reason to want to be famous. I don't need the whole world to see "what a wonderful person" I am, because I mostly do it for my own benefit anyway. It makes me feel good to work with people who have different challenges than me. But my profession doesn't require me to get that side effect that fame is. I need to have the right values and the right attitudes to be good at what I do. Someone who is born to entertain people, either it is acting, singing or writing, sad to say, depend on getting "famous". I don't think you get a better life if you're famous. Fame has become something dirty because everyone wants to be famous. People will do anything to get their 15 minutes in the spotlight, and I think it crosses over to pathetic many times. People rather be famous than smart. I realise that I probably wouldn't have heard Mika's music if he hadn't become 'famous', and that would have been really sad because I love his music, but I still don't see fame as a positive thing. I would say that most famous people are just like you and me, I don't count the ones that would do anything to be famous, since they mostly don't live like 'normal' people, and being famous is a side effect of them doing what they love to do. All the papparazzi and the following around, all the rumours, all the speculations, all the talk about all these people, it gets really boring and annoying. But that's just me anyway. My own personal success is the fact that I have managed to do so much positive with my life. Let's just say Mika and me have experienced much of the same things growing up, like probably many of you as well, and I think I have done quite well for myself considering everything I've been through. But I like my life and I love my friends, so that's my personal success.

Apocalyptica - Nothing Else Matters

If I am not mistaken, I think I saw an interview were he actually talks about it. And I think he said something about his dad wanting to name him Michael, but his mum isn't a big fan of the whole junior naming, and sat her foot down, and thats why they ended up naming him Mica.
