YKYAMFW Your Jazz Band teacher wants you to audition for a choir and your only thought is, "Which Mika song can I sing?!"

MERRY (almost) CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Happy holidays!!!!

Happy (almost) New Year!!!!

I'd go on, but that takes us to Feb. and we aren't nearly that close enough to Hearts and Mushy Love day. So HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Bai!

Such great pics!

Where does he take all these various hats? And where he keeps them all?

I know, I know he bought a new house

On an island, off the coast of Mexico.

Last week we had summer weather, yesterday it snowed, today there was a mist, who knows what will happen tonight?!

Accomplished!

Homework, check

Practicing/performance, check

Christmas Shopping, check

College Apps, check

all thats left is to attempt to get scholarships for those apps and maybe reading a book or two (specifically the Hobbit, Lord Of The Rings and Dune) and I'll be done! Oh, and I have to get a root canal re-done, which, you know, should be fun. Bleh.

I love the part about Glee!

It made me lol.

And if it does actually turn out to be Glee-like, I might be able to listen to him.

You know that adreniline rush after you've just done a show? Do you know the tiredness that comes after that? Yeah, I'm wedged somewhere in between.

Backstage antics.

It's all fun and games until someone makes a loud noise.

(theatre people will get this. hopefully! )

Chocolates? Well, well ... Poor Mika... I'm sorry,dear MikaSun

Does he not like them? Because I can offer alternatives! I go to a school that makes us make stuff for 9 hours a day, I could soooo make something!

Though, I probably wouldn't actually give him anything. Unless he says he'll only do it for that fee. But then I'd ask him to tour in Phoenix next, so I can actually give it to him, because what is a gift without a reaction?

Dear Mika,

I'll send you chocolates if you give us a video, or a tweet, or something that seems really insignifacant to you, but to us will mean the world. Unless you don't like chocolates...maybe I can make you prettiful shoes! LOLZ (the Z stands for Zebra!)

Wanting a mini-update,

I just woke up from a nap. . . so, I'm tired/refreshed, and hungry.

"Merry Christmas Budda!"

My own creation.

My.

Hair.

Purple!

So, yeah, that's how I'm feeling. It's quite easy being purple. Maybe that's why Prince likes it so much.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT!!!!

yeeeeeeeah.

All knowing!

haha yeah right!

As for creative jobs, I think the pressure also comes from the fact that some people will always be ready to criticize you whatever you do. It's sad, but human. Criticizing is easier than creating and lots of people don't respect someone else's efforts, especially if they show better skills and greater creativity. Anyway most people involved in creative jobs don't necessarily need success, they only need to create freely. Sometimes success will only allow you to be able to keep on working. Just consider the hours of daily practice that a classical musician need: money allows you to have time to study with fewer worries.

I guess you learn how to cope with pressure, because after all it is part of the creative process. Of course, if you are really talented, you will probably keep creating despite the pressure, but it's true that people who are not particularly strong or resilient may suffer seriously.

I completely agree!

I'm kind of heading in that direction, because of the school I'm attending. But these careers are also good if you like to travel, you can live practically anywhere, and you tend to love your work. Sometimes you get sick of your own creations, but it's all worth it if you know you love what you're doing. The only thing that makes me kind of nervous is the fact that not many people make much money doing it, and the only reason I'm worried about that it that nowadays, it seems you have to have money to survive. It's kind of daunting, especially when you know there's no certainty with it, and there's no right path to follow for it. School can only get you so far.

And you're selling yourself, your thoughts and ideas. It's kind of personal when someone criticizes your work, and it's easy to get defensive.

I was really angry with myself, because I brought all the wrong stuff to school (because classes switch from day to day). But when I went to buy a hot chocolate to make myself feel better, they gave me the wrong change and a cinnimon roll! And when they served iced coffee at lunch they ran out of ice, and it ended up tasting better than usual! Plus we discovered a new (and maybe the best) Thai restaurant in town!

hmm, this is all food related. . . . aw, who cares! I have heaven in a cup right now: Thai Iced Tea! Bottom line, I'm extremely happy!

I don't like being called:

ugly

Last night, I had a dream that Mika had a girlfriend, but this girlfriend turned him mean. Except when he wasn't around her. We went shopping for some reason, and he offered to get me a mario hat (don't ask ) but then his girlfriend showed up and dragged him away. I tried to chase after him, but my feet were in too much pain for me to keep moving. That's when I woke up and realized I'd fallen asleep with my shoes on.

There was also something about making a video involved in it, where everytime she was in the shot, he'd get really angry and frustrated, but as soon as she left the shot he was fine again.

'Twas a weird dream.
