Oh my gosh!!! I haven’t been this happy in a LONNNGGGGG time! I have a handful of VERY close Mika friends on Twitter that I’ve got to know over the years. They are seriously closer to me than my own family! However, they all live so far away,and the chance for me to travel to meet them in person is very slim. But, I am to grateful to be sad about that. The fact that the majority of you are in the US blows my mind!!!! I finally feel as if I’m a part of something really exciting😁😁😁😁
I starting loving Mika a while ago, but he was pretty popular by the time I found him. My daughter was getting to be in her tweens and liking her own style of music. I wanted to make sure it was age appropriate so while looking into Ariana Grande, I seen the popular video. Oh my heart EXPLODED!!! Who was this man? He was so cute, and this song is so good! From there on, like you all said, it was a slippery slope! Lol! I was hooked. I adore everything about him. I don’t think there are many people like him out there. He’s just amazing in all kinds of ways that I think all of his fans understand wholeheartedly. My family tolerate his music very well for me. Lol! I do drive them a bit crazy though.
So put me down for the, how should I say.... vintage Mika fan age group.😂 That’s right I’m old. But I preferre to find other ways to say it. Like superannuated, or time-honored. It makes me feel better about being 41. Yes I said it,41. Going on 101. Lol! I’m married and have a 16 year old and a 9 year old. I’m a stay at home mom. I LOVE music. All kinds. Except for most country. Every now and again i’ll find a country song I like but not too often. I drive my family bananas singing in the car and around the house. I love cats and had three way back in my single days. But for the past almost four years now, we have had a dog named smoky. He of the teddy bear dog breed. He is my baby, my kids best friends. And when his hair is grown out,he looks like a little teddy bear. I live in Michigan, like Cat! Hi Cat! I know what upnorth means🤣 My whole childhood I went up north to visit my grandparents. And now my parents live up north so we are ALWAYS up there on the weekends! I live right below the thumb in Southgate Michigan : ) And Guylainem, I am willing to bet you were born somewhere close to me because I live VERY CLOSE to Canada! What a small world!
I believe I was in New York the same weekend dcdeb was there in 2015 to see Mika! I went to his Webster Hall concert and had an unbelievable time. It was like no other concert I’ve been to. But, he came back a short time after that and I was already going out of town that weekend so I couldn’t go see him. And as we all know... sniff... sniff... he hasn’t been back since. Oh I can feel my heart breaking! But, it was so fun to follow my twitter family around to all the gigs and The Voice and signings for swatch and No Place In Heaven. I have been along for the Mika journey and am so grateful for it. Like you said Pandora, I have my own reasons why Mika literally has saved my life (i don’t mean to be dramatic really!). But he has. And I’ll never be able to repay him other than be an adoring fan from far away💜
Thank you dcdeb and kreacher for being so nice to me when I stumbled in here looking for a Mika fan group in the US😊 I would love to become an active member on here so I hope you all don’t get sick of me😏
Have an awesome rest of your Thursday and the weekend is right around the corner! YES!!!
