beccah :)

WOAH! im gone a day and this thread expands by 2 pages! good on yall!

 

*goes to read through thread*

 

 

 

I do believe that would be Keith richards about Invercargill?

 

 

 

I LOVE christchurch!

 

 

 

Need I remind you we have also been trying to get him here since 2007! I CANT WAIT EITHER!

 

 

 

Its ok, next time wont be far away. we are hoping that he comes here after he sees at least 2 fans fly over from new zealand to see him.

and I undrstand, I have been waiting since '07 and I was totally gutted I couldnt go last time they went to australia!

maybe you want to organise for one of the ausies...or one of us kiwis that are going, to give him something from you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Um...*Feels OLD!* I was 15 six years ago!

 

 

 

Having already left school I can say is do what you want to do! I didnt know what I wanted to do till 4th term in 7th form (year 13). If you want to do acting work at it! Acting is worth it if you want it bad enough!

 

A job that you enjoy doesnt feel so much like a job!

im sure there are more than two fans here! i would be hoping anyway!

wooo! it would be so cool for someone to organise to give a letter or gift or something to him from some of us! do you think we could?

thanks for the support, i still dont know really i dont want to be constantly broke if i cant get enough work...

I want to get fluent too!

My Granddad was a French and latin teacher when he and his wife lived in Samoa (I'm quarter Samoan on my mother's side) so I guess I'm ok in the subject

 

The main reason I took french in year nine was because my TA said economics (my current chosen fourth subject) was not really a very "Khayla subject" so she said I could do French, home economics (cooking), something else that I didn't really like, or music.

I was going to make an informed descission then went to the music HOD who didn't even wait to hear what I had to say after "I was thinking of doing music..." before looking me up and down and saying I would be better off doing French.

Jerk.

 

So I did French, not because of him but because I was writing a book based in France and because Mika spoke French and there were all these interviews I didn't understand which made me feel like this:

So I did french to understand him mainly

I have always wanted to learn french, go to Paris and everything; perhaps i think as the language is one of the most romantic ones there are around

sometimes i think i didn't make the most of the opportunities i had, but now i am focusing on now and the future i sound so mature haah! he does sound like a jerk! and now that i know about Mika speaking french... well.... haha! <3

Thanks! I tend to go on a bit, sorry I was always a particularly bright student until I got to third primary school and people started bullying me and I started focusing more on how I appear to people than my education.

Now I'm mediocre in school but I always get good marks because I spent so much time pretending to be something I'm not and so it's not a stretch to pretend like I care about things I don't so teachers just think I'm a bit hopeless but bubbly and always trying.

That's sometimes the truth, don't get me wrong

 

I was in the major production earlier this ear!

I played a cranky old alcaholic woman in a hairdressing salon and now all these year 8s come up to me at orientation and call me miss grumpy and I get angry because it's miss CRANKY!

 

Really? I don't find drama assessments scary at all. I always achieve but I'm a great student because I'm good at writing (so for scripts and ideas) and acting because my voice is loud and audible and I have feeling (because of my music which needs articulation, volume, apropriate pitch and a fair bit of communication of believable emotion).

 

I live in New Zealand and so do Charlotte (racinghorses over there *points to Char*) and Rosina (rosinakiwi) and also LemonaideTastesLikeLemons who doesn't post much but she goes to my school Wink2:

 

I'm not taking art next year. I was discouraged because of my lack of drawing skill (actually I'm very specialised and already have artistic motifs so I can't be bent and moulded into their creative drone like they'd prefer so they lable me less talented than mindless zombie students who need teachers to think up their barriers so they can think of predictable and boring ideas).

Ugh! Self portraits! I did one in wood carving last year and flat out REFUSED to be photographed properly (kept my hair in my face, turned away, closed my eyes, held things up ) until the teacher gavve up and let me use my own picture. I just happened to have my LICM cd at the time (I carried it round with me for some time a bit like a blankie :blush-anim-cl) and I used the picture of him in the fluffy coat just on the inside of the cover (not the one with the tea cup, I mean the really close up one with half his face in the dark) and it came out BEAUTIFULLY!

 

As you can see, I have an artistic temperament, I'm a cynic (some say pessimist, I like to think "Realist") and I am VERY passionate about my chosen areas of work!

 

What do you want to do when you leave school?

OK, so when I reply to you I tend to have to re-read through your writing because I too, have a lot to say. I can definitely relate to you with the subject of bullying as that has happened to me too; mostly when I was younger but probably didn't recognize it as such.

Some little things people do or say really get to me; even just the little stuff can mean a lot more in terms of wanting to affect the victim- sorry if my train of thought is a bit hard to follow.

I'm pretty much in the highest class for my year and do pretty well, i do get stressed out sometimes or totally mess up in french; which i get down about. I think learning another language is really difficult! haha! Hopefully I will get there eventually! possibly the fact that i want to do well and be one of the best doesn't help at times!

I too was in the major production- the wizard of oz, in chorus though. I got to be a munchkin and a beautician. we have a really big school- i go to Burnside high in Christchurch? may have heard of it, or maybe not. *shrug*

next year i will be old enough to audition for a main role *manic grin*

Sorry, what i said earlier may have come out all wrong. i don't find drama assessments particularly scary etc but it is better if the group you work with are cooperative! everything about the process envelopes me in! i love performing, rehearsing, all that jazz!

it is bad that the teachers discouraged you! although you are still taking some of the subjects you wanted i assume i know what you mean about portraits! gahhh! and the day we had the photos taken i was looking a mess! i wanted one with my hair out but NO! we couldn't have that!

haha! your mika portrait sounds wonderful, if only i had come up with a similar brilliant idea!

I have struggled to try and decide what i want to do when i leave school- although i really want to take classical studies and media studies in year 12. maybe something related to drama etc.

my parents dont really think acting is a good career....

what do you think>

what are some of the ideas you have about leaving school? what do you want to do hehe?

I know! That is weird!

I do really well at biology. See, next year I'm taking english (compulsary), media studies, health (nothing else to choose from that I could do), drama, French and IT.

 

What are you doing?

 

My exams are in November at the same time that Mika's in Oz. I have French first and I'm FREAKING though I got realy good marks in my French mocks (best marks of all subjects).

 

I passed all my exams except for math which I failed miserably. The only thing I actually passed was Probability with merrit

 

All exept Roro and Luke (who never comes here anymore).

 

I did wellish in my mocks but in all, I have 43 recorded credits.

I say recorded because last time I checked was mid of last term. Since then, Ive got credits in French and Drama that I know of.

2 or 3 in French and 8 in Drama (I passed 2 assignments in one night!).

Actually, it was really cool but stressful. We had to record a weekly log of our work and that work was writing and performing an/several acting role in a 10-20 minute play with a group (first assignment) and performing a technical role (lights, sound, costume etc) for another group in the same show (second assignment).

By the end I'd done really well but I had no book work because I was all caught up in the acting. My friend Emily had logs for almost every week and I made all mind up from memory. In the end, I got credits for my very detailed bookwork and she didn't because hers wern't detailed enough!!!

 

Only thing is that I hate science but I'm one of the good ones in the class!

My TA continues to push for me to do bio next year but with my sight, the only thing I could possbly do with bio is become a bio teacher and I don't even think I could do THAT because of sight restrictions!

She made the argument that IT and media studies were kind of useless to me then.

Which I said was WRONG because as an aspiring entertainer, it's important to know about computers so I can make my own websites and have a clear understanding of what makes a good music video and how to direct and deal wit behind the scenes action as well!

 

Some people

Next year i am taking english and math (compulsory!) but i love english so that's okay, math not soo much haha! science, french, drama and art

you are so lucky not to have to do math!

yeah, for the french exam i am going to have to majorly study!

i really want to get fluent though.... my exams are around the time mika's going to oz too! maybe a tad earlier.

funfun!

WOW! that was a lot to take in! wow, you guys are so cool! we actually do have so much in common it is scary! last year i failed my mid year math exam and just passed end of year except i kinda like school and do well in the other areas!

i love drama and acting and i am in the junior production this term, which is really cool! actually lollipop girl i have an assessment for drama this friday morning! exciting and nerve wracking at the same time!

im in year ten at the moment, so one year lower than you i guess.

you both live in new zealand right?

cool! im taking art next year and im so exciting! we are doing self portraits at the moment which is kinda awesomely fun! haha.

I'm also 15. I'm almost finished level one (for 5 or yr11) and only just a couple weeks ago completed a 12 credit assignment in art!

 

OMG it wasrediculous!

 

I only just managed to pass level 1 math (I'm REALLY bad!), I've got credits for everything there is to get so far in French and drama and I've only failed one assignment in art as in science.

My worst subjects are english and math though I love writing and reading, I just hate the subject just like Art!

I draw but I hate the subject because I feel like I'm being strangled and both teachers are no-hopoers!

 

How did the rest of us do in exams???

i absolutely love drama and art and also take french. i love english! we seem to have a lo9t in common, i also hate math! hahaa. science is alright, i have exams soon, in about four weeks! eek! i better pass!

the aussie fans became the total pros at whinging! myabe thats how they got him there (idk lolol)

 

its so hard not to waste money huh.. but i recently bagged a job at mc'ds, made thing easier. Not that its a job im proud of but whatevs

 

How old are you? I'm 15, just finishing level 1 in school

Yeah, at least we aren't whingers!

I really need a job, but I get so busy with school and things and my dad says: you should focus on school blah blah, even though his advice is probably true. anyway! I'm 15 too! haha, coincidence! so, level one is like form what? or year what> 10?

HAHA! awwh, you are so lucky! i wish i had saved some of my money; it wasted away on nothing. i really need a job, then i could fly over and be in bliss <3

i will start saving! so that next time (which better not be long to wait or i will go insane) i will jump on a plane and get there!

someone needs to tell him that the new zealand fans are more enthusiastic than the aussies haha!

haha! no, i just meant in the south island

awwhh! the scenery is lovely right?!

I really really want to! but i cant afford flights or accomodation

it is sooo sad! awh,. im so desperate to see him live!

*drool*

are you from aussie? i bet you are going.

COME TO CHRISTCHURCH OR AUCKLAND MEEKS!

awh! whoever would say such a thing? haha! i live in christchurch and it's pretty alright! cold maybe but a nice wee world,. even though we are down the bottom haha!

Pick Up Off The Floor i love this song, *sigh*

listening to touches you by mika. nawh! he is soo great! and msning and thinking that i should start my homework. gah. would rather stay and comment on here...

I really just think that he is an amazing performer and his dancing/ moves enhance his singing. He is an extremely authentic person and just soo much fun! haha; the performances are obviously well rehearsed and prepared but i think a lot of it would be hype of the moment you know ? anyway. he is just so MIKA!

thanks everyone! im really excited to have joined haha!

hey! I'm rebecca, and i absolutely adore mika! i think he is an amazing performer and has such a beautiful voice I'm new to this whole thing, so just thought i would say hello I'm from new Zealand woo! haha. and have really enjoyed mika's songs etc for about two years now. so, i am hoping i have done this right, but not really sure haha,
