I was also a bit confused by it and a bit worried that I have been insulting people this whole time when I ask where their family is from. To me it is compliment when someone asks, as it shows they want to better understand me. That said I don't often get to rock out my whole mihi in te reo, mainly when I want to shut…

I would give anything to not burn - my parents accidentaly gave me second degree burns as a child because they did not know how to cope with a white child :D

Kia ora, always excited to find other NZers and especially others from with Maori experience.

Woo hybrid-hybrid buddies *high fives*

I am mixed race and my skin tone is a sensitive topic - possibly because I am a lot lighter than what most people think a biracial person should be.

I probably was not clear. I used to destroy the straps of my bras when I put them on from the back. Now that I cannot my bras last longer. My injury is secondary it was just the the mechanism that lead to my personal revelation that I could own bras that didn't have holes in them.

I really hate shows where they have a "funny" midget character and the whole funny part seems to be that they are a midget.

Since I can no longer put a bra on at the back my back straps last longer

When I used to clasp behind my back I always poked holes through the strap (I am super poor so don't replace my bra as often as I should) now I am to gammy to do it no more holes - so that may be a reason?

I was never made to read The Great Gatsby, I did however read it by choice.

It is one of the few series when I have genuinely surprised by things happening in a very long time. I think this is due to the lack of getting backed into corners and just the wealth of possibility that is left open.

see she is yet to complete her sneaking for me. I find some of the things she does interesting and the implications of them but yet I just don't care for or about her. Her grandmother is completely different matter.

I am so torn on her as she is such good actress and has got me to like a character who I was really not that interested in in the book series.

Funny somewhat related story - I first heard of jezebel as it was listed as Serena from Gossip Girls favourite website so I thought I would go laugh at the rich white girls. I was somewhat disappointed.

Good seating choice as I have bought snacks. Now settle in and we can watch this baby burn.

I was so worried! I don't intend to ever get pregnant but the thought of my giant feet even potentially ever getting any bigger put the fear of god into my atheist soul.

My mother is a baby hater and raised her daughters to be baby haters too. Her usual tales revolved around what it is like to be a 150cm woman with a 55cm being in your abdomen and how the birthing process was even worse. That or how people think it is ok to touch you. It wasn't until much later we got to hear the…

I think I threw my neck out trying to do that. This may be as I have terrible posture so anything that is "chin buried in boob with ear resting on right shoulder" is unfamiliar territory for my head controlling muscles.

My friend directed me to your comment as it was the first thing I mentioned when watching the footage! Hers was on the the other ladies EPIC hat

My flat mates were very confused as we had to sing it so much at school that to them it was just a Maori song/Air NZ commercial song - I had to school them on the translation :D
