Siu

First of all: Thanks Silver! Second: I'm sooo behind in all the threads! I should quit work, it ruins my life in MFC Third: is there a "nose scrunch" thread? If not, is there someone to start it or shall I take the burden on my shoulders *jumps around happy all over* *all important said she runs back to race through the remaining threads*

Not enough by far . I was thinking about adding Vote for MIKA in my signature along with the link to this page, but its too long (only 250 characters are allowed in siggy) and I'm not sure I'm ready to make the sacrifice . But fortunately we're doing quite fine - we haven't lost any positions, though there is some heavy competition in Musician of the Month and Best Fansite. But in Follow Me we are slowly but steadily moving towards #12, leaving @JoeFlanigan and @TweetThisBabe safely behind! Good work! Let's keep voting! Maybe other people will also join in, but we should think of ways to make it more attractive. Any ideas anyone?

I'm still not here dreaming about a vacation under palm trees ...

It's not me who's here. Me is nicely working and about to finish soon, not snooping around in MFC

Her baby-sister is amazingly beautiful! *going already*

So was I :roftl::roftl: *switching the desktop again*

Is he trying to disguise!? A lovely Martin's-in-a-hurry smile:

Hey girls, someone's got to work here! I'm definitely gonna miss my deadline this time! :roftl: But as for Mikagasmics, I've been looking hairy Meeks there but hardly ever find

He's go-ot hairy arms! He's go-ot hairy arms! I'm kinda obsessed with hair on his arms and chest (which I hardly ever see, damn you!) and his beard and his eye brows and his lashes and his hair and This photo is so picture-perfect!

I won't be going anywhere really. I'll still be lurking around, but I'm swamped in work and have to time to hunt (read: have no time to hunt but still hunts and falls more and more behind with work )

You seem to do quite a cute job here . Replace me while I'm trying to stretch my days from 24hrs to at least 26hrs. If I manage that I'll be on the safer side again and come back hunting

At least in google I'm in the safe side with my user name . On the first few pages I browsed there were only a few entries relating to me. Luckily for me it seems to be a rather frequent Chinese name (or word!?) .

It's from 2007. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpakuXMkCrM

I know there's MIKA's nose FC but is there also a special thread for nose crumpling (or wrinkling ?!? - native speakers! help with the right word )? It's just sooooo cute!

Well done, everyone! :thumb_yello: Numbers are going up and the positions are still good. Lets try to get MIKA #10 at Musician of the Month, shall we!? @RyanKellyCT is moving ahead fast but let's try to catch him.

I'm running out of photos! And I can only listen to YT cause I need my eyes for finishing my design for the t-shirt contest, so no more finger nibbling from me until I'm donated a lot of free time. Any volunteers?

Getting hurt again? Be wise and take your time to choose well (this is my grandmother talking, not me ) Mine is smart, he'd start with the introductions thread and move on from there. He knows when I dug out the gold recently and he would find me in no time.

I could also have thought twice and choose a less distinctive name. But what's done is done! Love doesn't hurt. What hurts is when you find out there was no love to start with. By love I mean respect and trust and the rest of the ingredients that go in the recipe.

+1 (I should have a slap on the wrist for saying that )

If someone has a real stalker for husband and he knew his wife spend a lot of time in MFC, he would find a way of narrowing down the members of whom he believes that one might be his wife. In my now 300 (! ) posts I have revealed quite a many details about me and if my hubby ever wanted to stalk me here, he'd definitely find me rather easily. He wouldn't do that, though, or if he would, he'd be smart enough to keep it from me. And if he didn't do that either, we'd have a serious case! But were happily married, so I have nothing to worry . Besides, I have never written anything to compromise myself, only what I think and feel and if he REALLY wanted to know that, thinking that knowing is better than not knowing, then hey! I would not stop him!

I wonder, who took the photo...

It's a come-and-bite-me look!

I don't think you should feel pathetic or maybe I'm saying that only to comfort myself, because I totally share your feelings. A MIKA a day keeps my sorrows away . I'm referring to his songs, of course . One of my friends once said she listens to MIKA when she's blue, it helps her cheer up again. I do it in order to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Maybe I'm just in the very early stage of MIKAttraction - next week will be 3 months since discovering him. I'm not complaining, because it doesn't make me sad, I get my everyday things more or less done. Actually I'm happier than I was before because I feel alive again. I've had little flings like that in my head a few times before (which maybe doesn't make me the best wife, but I think I'm not alone in the boat, but sitting there with a large number of other women. And men) but I can't compare these to what I'm feeling now. Previous cases have been with men I've known in RL which has been one reason why these have not lasted, because A) they've turned out to be less perfect than my illusions and B) I'm not looking for any trouble in my RL. The MIKAland in my head is a place I go (maybe too often, if you asked my husband) to find my peace. He stands for so many things I believe in but have not had the courage to admit. One thing I've learned from him is that you should not limit yourself and you should not be ashamed of what you do or believe in.

A good husband - isn't he a "house-trained pet" anyway and I mean it with the biggest respect I have for my husband. "Thought you found the man you wanted Until you turn him into something new" It's amazing how MIKA in his songs has put my thoughts, which I tend to express in a rather lengthy and clumsy way, in just a few prefect lines. A marriage or partnership is all about making compromises, finding the "golden mean". In the process you change yourself and you change the other person and sometimes the result does not satisfy you and you opt to split up. I've gone through the process and I'm happy with the result and that's why I would think twice before eloping with MIKA. Or with anyone, for that matter. MIKA has flaws, that's for sure, we just don't know about these. We see the side of him he has chosen to show but I'm positive that the moment we started living with him would be the moment we started changing him. We have this illusion of what he's like and we'd want to turn him into the vision. I doubt there is anyone reading the thread admitting that (s)he would be happy with the MIKA the way he is. And this is absolutely normal. And this is also why relationships like that are doomed to fail. We fancy a public figure, we have an illusion of him, we by chance get together, he's not like we've imagined in real life, we'd want to turn him into our illusion, he wouldn't change (not as much as we'd like to) and we'd split up. It's more difficult with people we think we know well (read: have created an illusion of) before we actually meet them. When you get to know an "ordinary" person you have no expectations (or you have a lot less of these) and you learn to know him based on what you see and thus you have a clearer picture of what he actually is. Thinking of MIKA we see him as a gorgeous-looking, sensitive, friendly, witty .... man with a fabulous smile and the most perfect curls (and again so on) and we tend to think that this IS him also in RL but the fact is that we don't know. OK, I'm starting to repeat myself already so I put a full stop, but I think you understand what I'm saying.

I am looking for... active voters and a way to revive the voting thread (http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11956&highlight=vote&page=106). Last night I posted a message there (see below) calling people to vote for MIKA but this thread doesn't have many visitors. So if anyone has good ideas on how to make the traffic in the thread busier, let me know! I was also thinking about making access to active contests easier for people by having direct links handy ... well somewhere, but I think it's a question to be discussed with the mods!?
