| Katrina in the BB Forums NEW 18 July 2002 For Katrina From Spearbear [18.Jul.02, 12:02 PM] On the other topic, there are a lot of unneccessary negative comments and I thought I'd restart the topic a fresh now that Kat has confirmed it's her. We appreciate you visiting the forums :) Really. I'm an New Zealander, by the way. My question is: "What was your perception of fame before going into the House? And how has the experience changed your perception of fame?" Thanks. From miani69 [13.Jul.02 - 7:15 PM] Hi Guys Thanks to spearbear for starting this topic. Definitely better than wading through some of the stuff on the other one. If you want to e-mail me the address is: [email protected] I have about 100 e-mails to reply to at the moment so I am sorry if I haven't got to yours yet but I hope to reply to them all by the end of the weekend. And my answer for spearbears question is yes, my perception of fame has changed. I grew up thinking that famous people were glamorous and rich and rich and didn't have any worrys. I was very wrong. I feel just the same - exept people now know who I am. Thats the only difference fame makes. Kat :) From miani69 [13.Jul.02 - 7:30 PM] Yes, I am still here. I don't really want to think about some of the people who are posting on the other topic. I don't even read their posts anymore. Jacinta, I hope that your Nan will be ok. Kat :) From miani69 [13.Jul.02 - 8:40 PM] The weekend has been pretty good so far. I went to a fashion launch last night and today I hung around Melb city with my uncle. We saw MIBII and tried bowling (we were terrible at it). Tonight a friend is coming over to watch videos and tomorrow I am going out to lunch with a friend. Very busy! I want to get some shopping time in (feeling very unfashionable at the moment) so I hope that I can wake up early enough to get to the city before I go to lunch. Kat :) From miani69 [13.Jul.02 - 9:36 PM] Sorry guys, I am going to have to go after this post. My fingers are starting to get numb from typing and I keep on making heaps of mistakes! I actually work as a legal secretary at the moment. I have been doing that for about 2 1/2 years. And my life can be pretty busy but I think that it has stepped up a notch since I left the the house. I haven't even really had a chance to play the PS2. It took me a while to figure out how to plug it in but once I did it was great. I love that it can play DVD's as well. If you want proof of it being me there is a story at the moment (I think there is still a link from the home page) where I confirm that it is actually me and not a hoax. I don't blame you for being skeptical - I have seen a number of people trying to impersonate housemates. Talk to you soon Kat :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11 July 2002 Questions for Katrina and Hayley From Hot Chicky [27.Jun.02 - 5:02 PM] Katrina- do you know that lots of people hate u, including me. I think u were a winger and a pain in the ass!!! From miani69 [29.Jun.02 - 7:26 PM] Hey everyone! This post is a great idea but it seems some people have to take it too far! As for some answers: 1. I don't really have an opinion on the nomination process - it is just part of the game. 2. Hot Chicky - yes I know that people hate me but that it a part of it all. Every housemate has people who hate them and also people who love them - it is just the way it is. I am sorry that you feel that you have to hate me. 3. cazman - I decided before going in the house that I no longer wanted a career in politics. After being a part of a political party I realised that a career in politics was not for me. And for the record - just because I was a young liberal doesn't mean that I agree with everything John Howard says. Thanks guys Kat :) From miani69 [29.Jun.02 - 7:27 PM] Got another one: I am sure that I should have used some nicotine replacement but I'm not sure how big a difference it would have made. I normally smoked only a small amount which is why patches weren't appropriate for me. The only problem was that for about 2 weeks before going in the house I was smoking a lot more. As for me leaving so early - I am not so sure it was because of what was happening in the house. Sure, I had some hard times but I think that it was politics and certain photos that really got me evicted. Kat :) From miani69 [30.Jun.02 - 8:03 PM] Well guys, I don't know how to prove it to you. But I am who I say I am. If you think that you will have a question that will catch me out - go for it! Kat :) From miani69 [30.Jun.02 - 8:21 PM] Ok, can't quite remember but it was something about how I will be excited when all the housemates are together at the final eviction. I also said that I was writing it on Thursday night - 4 days from the final eviction. Sorry, but apart from that I can't really remember - and I can't check because I sent it from my work e-mail address and I am currently on my home computer. I am not sure if that will satisfy you - but I tried. Kat :) From miani69 [30.Jun.02 - 8:24 PM] BTW - nothing really happened with Pete. We were both fully clothed the entire time and no hands went beneath clothing - that rules out a lot of things that people have been saying actually went on that night. As for Pete cheating on Turkan with me - firstly, nothing happened and secondly no matter what the feelings between Pete and Turks were in the house they never took it further than good friends so he couldn't have cheated on her. Kat :) From miani69 [30.Jun.02 - 8:31 PM] Sorry, but haven't actually been to Perth but I would love to come! As for who I want to win - my favorite is Pete. Although I would be happy if any of the final three won - they are all fantastic people. Kat :) From miani69 [30.Jun.02 - 8:32 PM] I have no idea who will be out tonight but we only have about 3 1/2 minutes until we all find out! Kat :) From miani69 [30.Jun.02 - 8:41 PM] Thanks Peter - nice to know that I am believable as myself. As for bonding - I bonded with most people but probably most with Miras, Turks and Shannon. Kat :) From miani69 [30.Jun.02 - 9:18 PM] Look, you can belive me or not but I really am who I say I am. If you really want more proof - I am planning on wearing a white peasant top on the eviction tomorrow night - probably with jeans or a black skirt. And yes, I was on a huge rollercoaster in the house but now I have friends and family who support me (my best friend is sitting on my couch right now) and it makes it a little easier. I also don't have to deal with emotions that are as stong as the ones I dealt with in the house. Have to go and pack for tomorrow - I am very unorganised as usual. I can't wait until tomorrow night! Kat :) From skeka [2.Jul.02 - 11:26 AM] hmm well Kat did seem to wear what Miani69 said she would... maybe it really is her... ~ I'm just hoping that she can answer my question from page 4 of this thread... that will tell all.. From miani69 [3.Jul.02 - 9:32 PM] Hi Skeka - my favorite teacher at high school was Mr Tucker. He may seem pretty scary but his classes were so funny. Sorry for wearing a jacket in Monday night that hid the shirt but it was sooooo cold. It was just amazing to be a part of the final show - I loved every minute of it! I can't wait to see the tape of the final eviction. I haven't seen when Tom went into the house because we were all standing outside freezing. Kat :) From miani69 [3.Jul.02 - 10:24 PM] Sorry, but I'm not sure when my next apperance will be. I will keep you posted though. Also, just wanted to say - please lay off Shannon about her hair last night on Rove. She didn't do it herself - it was done by a hairdresser at the show. Kat :) From miani69 [3.Jul.02 - 10:32 PM] Sorry, just wanted to clear something up. I asked Hayley if she had seen this posting and she said that she actually hasn't really looked too much at the forums. She also said that she hasn't posted at all and that she had heard that someone was impersonating her on the forums. Just wanted to let everyone know so that if you have see someone saying that they are her - its not her! Kat :) From miani69 [6.Jul.02 - 1:56 PM] Hey, I would like to thank everyone (well, most people) for being so supportive on this post. There are so many questions - I hope that I don't forget any: 1. I didn't collect the trading cards. I really didnt' get a chance. I think that I got Damo but that was it. 2. Life is pretty much back to normal. I have been back at work for 7 weeks now and I don't seem to be recognised all that much (think that the new hairstyle has something to do with it). 3. I am smoking again but I am trying to make sure that I don't smoke too much. I think that I will be quitting again soon. 4. It is true that my goldfish died. It actually died a couple of days before I found out about it becuase BB was trying to make sure that it wasn't a code. The reason I looked so upset was because I had actually been talking with BB about something else before he told me about the fish - that is why I was so upset. Keep in mind I was also told about it the morning after nominations - I was pretty fragile. Kat :) From miani69 [6.Jul.02 - 2:05 PM] OK, more questions. - The way I learnt that you should listen to your parents is that for a while I didn't really talk with my parents about what I was getting up to in life. Now I realise that if you are doing something that you can't tell your parents about you shouldn't be doing it. But they were fine with the things that came out - I had already talked about it with them before I entered the house. - Twmba is not my favourite place in the universe but I always have fun when I go back and I do have a lot of roots there. All my family still live there. I love Melb, though, and I love my life here. I live around the St Kilda area which is great because there is always places to go out no matter what day of the week it is. - I will try and arrange an e-mail address and post it soon. It may take me some time to get back to e-mails but I will try to do them all. Kat :) From miani69 [6.Jul.02 - 2:54 PM] I think that I have successfully set up an e-mail. I can be contacted at [email protected] Please don't e-mail to abuse me - I will block your e-mail address. Kat :) From miani69 [7.Jul.02 - 8:48 PM] lorin14 - give it up. I know that I was not at any ice-cream store this week. I can't even remember the last time I was. Why do you feel the need to discredit me? Kat :) From miani69 [8.Jul.02 - 11:17 PM] Yes Madonna - it is really me. I don't know how much more I can prove it. I can only think next time I do an appearance hopefully someone on this forum gets to come along and ask me because I will say that it is really me. Really, why would anyone want to impersonate me anyway? Kat :) From miani69 [9.Jul.02 - 10:45 PM] Actually, in that article that you are refering to I said that I wasn't sure what I was going to wear and it was about what we were going to wear to the after party and not the eviction. Nice try but it will take more than that. BTW - I now have two new fish (the BB one couldn't travel interstate so it was left in QLD). They are called George and Mini. And for those who want to know - I am going to be doing an appearance at the Metro nightclub in Melb city tomorrow night between 8:30 and 9:30. It is an underage night so I think anyone can come along. Kat :) From miani69 [11.Jul.02 - 7:24 PM] Hey guys, Sorry I wasn't online for the last two nights but I have been really busy with work and I had an appearance last night. But I am back and I want to say thanks for all the great things that are being said. Yes, I do care about what people think and to hear things like a little girl named a teddy bear after me gives me a huge smile - it is just so sweet! There seem to be a lot of posts about me and Pete. Nothing much really happened but I wasn't asleep. And the reason that I went to sleep on the couch was becuase Pete has a very high body temperture and I was too hot to sleep. That's all. Kat :) PS - Sorry for taking so long to reply to e-mails. I have about 80 to get through so please bare with me. From miani69 [11.Jul.02 - 8:09 PM] Yes, I am still here - I just had to go and have some dinner. As for some questions: I must admit that I am back on the smokes but I am cutting down and hope to be off them completely again soon. As for my boss - that whole intelligence thing is just a joke between us. I think he got it and no-one else did! lol I don't think anyone else is on the forums. Becuase the posts can be pretty harsh most of us stay away. I guess that I have probably seen Turks, Alex and Brodie the most. Alex and Brodes because they are both in Melb and I have spent some time in Sydney so I caught up with Turks while I was there. But I do chat with the others often - I spoke with Turks last night. Kat :) From miani69 [11.Jul.02 - 8:26 PM] I spoke with Turks last night and she said that she and Pete are just friends - just like they were in the house. As far as I know Jess and Marty have been spending some time together. They are really sweet with eachother and I hope that they stay together. They look like they are very much in love. Kat :) From miani69 [11.Jul.02 - 8:42 PM] I think what was shown was the real me - but of course a highly edited version. Also, I think that I am a bit different outside the house - I guess that we are all different in different environments. Oh, and I didn't get anywhere with Survivor. I just got a rejection letter after I sent in my tape. I actually have a collection of rejection letters. A friend and I audition and apply for all sorts of things, just to have a go, and keep a record of it all by rejection letters. That is why I was so shocked when I made it into BB - I was so used to be rejected! Sorry, but I have to go and get some sleep. I haven't got through many e-mails but I promise that I will reply to them all on the weekend. Kat :) |
