I'm so late with this response but I just saw that, I came here for another reason... but we had bagged milk in Upstate NY too, in the schools. It was a pain in the rear. It looked like this: ANYWAYS! I wanted to know if anyone visited #DeadRaccoonTO because I thought of you lot when I saw the news thing on my facebook. I love it. It's awesome. Poor raccoon.

Love that poem. It inspired the Red Hat Club. Of which I will one day be a member. For now I shall wear pink and lavender as belies my relative youth... Oh wait. If Mika says 32 is when you can start wearing those then I only have 2 months.

I dunno. I mean we don't hear much. I didn't even know he did a duet with Gaga though it doesn't surprise me. He still can make news here though but it's usually when it's slow and more because he is so classic and also I think they like to say "Sir Elton John" but mostly I remember him with Eminem on I think the MTV awards as the last big thing.

Floppy earssss

I love this piece!

I translated this back to English with google which I know isn't accurate but oh em gee. what? Like... Are there maybe some mistaken words here? Or does it really read like they were on something when they wrote this?! Especially this bit: Et je me fous d'être seul au monde, de finir fou, d'compter les secondes

Wanna cry.

Where can I read this press release? This is the first I've heard of it.

Sorry, I'm not translating that one! I'm not even sure what language that is. Though I can tell kind of what it's about.

Aww he has cheat sheets...

And guys, lets be honest. Mika is not one to shy away from standing up for what he believes in. Sure, he may not have said anything if it hadn't gone so viral, but it's not like he hasn't done things on his own before. From his songs, to his pictures and messages with Fedez for Milano's pride, to when he attended the rally for JeSuisCharlie. That last one really made me nervous for him admittedly. He's very brave, not just with his personal life and open-ness more recently, but with his courage to take a stand on public matters. Heck even his tweet about Cecil the Lion! I can see how some of it is that way. People only thinking "how dare they attack my precious Mika!" (Nooo I'm not being snarky at all right there! ) But there are some, and enough, that are using it more as another means of starting a dialogue about the problem. That's a good thing. But I haven't participated in the hashtag. Because I don't know anyone Italian who isn't a Mika fan lol. However his comments afterward are what really get me. About his instinct being to run and him fighting it and that love cannot be controlled. That speaks to me on a deep and personal level. I imagine it does to so many others as well. Not just about homophobia and LGBT issues, but just in general standing up to bullies and realizing love isn't something you chose. I can only hope some others see his comments from this and find them as inspiring and true and relevant to them as I do to me.

Oh boy. What I would give for a pool right now... lol.
