Evilbean Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 So, I figured I ought to say a little "Hi" here before I - maybe - post anywhere else (not sure about that, but I'm already reading you all ). Hi everyone, I'm Nat', I'm from France and currently leaving in Paris (I'm from south of France though). I'm here today cause I have to admit it to myself, this little Mika-obsession isn't going to pass anytime soon apparently... I knew his music a little, I even listened to his first album with joy back in the day but I was a casual fan (something I rarely am to be honest!), I listened to second one a little too. I didn't know a lot about him as a person back then. After that, life happened, I was working on my PhD, then I move to Belgium blah blah blah: life was really busy. I remember having got quite the obsession on Stuck in the Middle when I'm thinking about it - it was the first sign of my upcoming doom. Anyway, a few months ago I was at work and I had like NO motivation at all, it was one of those days... you know the ones. I was going through my music library to find something to give me some life back and I saw the 2 first albums and I thought to myself that Mika was probably a good choice in this kind of situation: I pressed "play" without knowing what I just started...! Since then I rediscovered those albums - my english is a little better now (not perfect I know... sorry about that) and it is like a new experience. I listened to number 3 and 4 too and love them all for all sort of different reasons, slept too little because I was on youtube all night going through all things Mika, even watched The Voice for him and I'm still trying to teach myself how to recall all the italian I learned at school. In a nutshell, I didn't saw it coming but hey surprise: I have a new musical (and more) crush. Damn it. I hope this wasn't too long, english not being my first language I need a lot of words! So, hello there you all, I think I'm one of you now ! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melyssa Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hello from south of France! I have to admit it to myself, this little Mika-obsession isn't going to pass anytime soon apparently... Oh I remember this period when I was like 'no seriously girl get a grip... oh well, f*ck off, let's jump in'. A a result a ton of colours and fun and laughs and friends (and confettis) have invaded my life so I'd say it's worth it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nat, nice to meet you and welcome to the MFC When you press play you could never imagine the amount of happiness Mika's world can give you, the nicest surprises are also the most unexpected I guess I'm very glad that your rediscovery of Mika's music brought you here, hope you're gonna have fun with all of us!

Don't worry Nat it's not a disease..it's called retroactive inhibition, which the new learning interferes with the retention of old memories. It won't be harder to relearn as compared to learning a new language I believe...don't get too frustrated Just to cheer u up with a little story: I need to use different languages at work, and I changed workplace quite frequent as well. So there was once, I was trying to converse with my patient, we were talking to each other for about 10 minutes, and I was convinced that I understood him to a certain extent...and to my horror, at d end of the conversation, I just realised that he was speaking a totally different language and I have no idea how much I misunderstood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can kind of understand though, sometimes I have to go back a little but if I focus I can follow. Still, this is useful to lnow if I struggle on one part.

(And now I'm inventing words... time to stop!) I understand that using english a lot you forget italian because these are different languages but spanish and italian aren't so much different and Mika always says he did study spanish for 10 years so I dont understand why he can't remember almost anything now. Anyway, I know he understands spanish and we "spanish fans" are "here" to remind it to him, at gigs, tweeting in spanish or translating some of his songs into Spanish for him to sing But one thing is clear, He has ability to learn languages, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
