Application
--Basic-
Name: Michelle
Nickname and why: Mischa, because I was running this show for local bands for tsunami relief, and I was making hemp bracelets with name or phrases on them. Someone asked for "Mischa Barton" and since I didn't watch the OC, I asked "Who in God's name is that?" and everyone laughed, thus I am Mischa. And one of my co-workers calls me that because it kinda sounds like Michelle/Meesh (another nickname). Wow that took longer than I thought it would.
Age: 16
Birthday: November 7, 1988
Taken or single (include a picture if you have one): Single.

--Pick One--
Outside venue or inside venue?: Outside.
Shoes or barefoot?: BAREFOOT. I hate shoes. They're just so uncomfortable.
Locals show or mainstream show?: Somewhere in between. (e.g. Blood Brothers)
Staying in with friends or going out?: Going out. Unless I'm in uber bitch mode.
Group date or singe?: Group in the beginning. Takes the awkwardness away. After that, either is fine.
Getting the snot beat out of you in the pit or staniding in the back?: Getting the snot beat out of me.
Looking retarted at a show and havging fun or standing in the back being bored?: Looking retarded and having fun. I'm not about to pay money to bore myself.
Rock on or Rock out?: Rock out with your cock out.
--Would You Ever--
Stand in line for hours just to see your favorite artist?: Yes. Been there, done that.
Do something crazy to get the person you like to notice you?: Yes. If carrying a boombox blasting Billy Idol on '80s day counts.
Squirt people on the side walk with suppersoakers from a moving car?: Ehhh they were people I knew.
--Favorites and Why--
Album?: "Give Up"-the Postal Service. Their sound is so unique and the lyrics are amazing.
Celebrity?: Heath Ledger or Cillian Murphy. What can I say, they're pretty.
Musical artist?: The Postal Service. Their sound is just so different and I just love it.
Instrument?: Drums. I just get so lost in the beat.
Curse word?: "Fuuuuuuuuuck." Drawn-out like that too.
Drink?: Iced tea.
Place to visit?: My barn. A little specific, I know, but I love my fat pony.
Lyric?: "I'm thinking it's a sign that the freckled in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned. And I have to speculate that God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay. And true, it may be a stretch, but it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head when you're away and I am missing you to death." -The Postal Service
Movie/TV quote?: "You need a license to drive a car, own a dog, heck, you even need a license to catch a fish. But any asshole can be a father." -Parenthood. Good movie.
--Going Deeper--
Tell us about you in three to twenty-one sentences: I am a terribly multi-facted person; it's a curse and a blessing. I love to sing in plays, performances, in the shower, in my car, anywhere. The stage is a place where I'm most comfortable. I have a horse named Nitro and he's horrible obese. I'm really stubborn, and I get it from my father. Having two people who are really stubborn live together is a bad bad thing. Hanson is one of my favourite bands. Listen to their new stuff, I bet you'll like it. I guess you'd call it indie, considering it's progressive pop-rock and they have their own record label. I had my monroe pierced. I miss it. I draw/paint/write/make jewelry/make clothes/crochet and I love it. I'm going to a culinary school or a music business school next year as of the moment. I go to shows every weekend, and they're the most fun I think anyone could possibly have. I think everyone in the world should invest in noise-cancelling headphones: they're fantastic. I'm 1/4 British, 1/4 Italian, 1/8 Irish, and 3/8 German. What a mutt.
--Opinions--
(pick three to five and one other topic that you feel strongly about)
1. Selling out-If a band becomes popular on the music they always were and want to play, good for them. If a band becomes popular on an image shaped by consultants and the sort, it's ridiculous. Bands that change who they are so they can sell records can go burn. Or something. Bands that work their way from the bottom of the ladder and stay "true" deserve to make money and fans.
2. Moving from indie to mainstream-
3. Abortion-
4. Pop music-
5. What it means to be a 'poser' rather then 'true'-
6. Drugs-If someone wants to throw their life away, they can knock themselves out. The state can make as many laws as they want, people are still gonna find a way around them. I think the laws should be kept though, so less people do them, such as teenagers and the like. I won't mind their alcoholism or whatever, but don't come crying to me for a liver when yours doensn't function anymore.
7. Society and the image that you have to look like-Society's image forced upon people is ridiculous. 13 year old girls think they have to eat a crouton and a glass of water a day to look like these models, and it's most definitely not healthy. A few years ago, it was possible to avoid these images, but now they're everywhere. People come in all shapes and sizes and the public need to recognize that. We don't come in the same cookie cutter shape for a reason.
8. Other-Gay marriage-Oh no, she said gay marriage. The fact that gay people can't get married in most states is ludicrous. And the ones who allow it are trying to repeal that law? Remind me, what happened to seperation of church and state? I would really love to find a real reason for gay marriage to be banned.
