Sarah - 30th May 1996

* ...someone asks you to sign their annual and while you're trying to think of what to write, the first thing that comes into your head is "I wish you better than your heart desires and your first kiss from a boy."
* ...during the first two weeks of your Physical Science class you get Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" in your head every time your teacher mentions force.
* ...you think for half a second the above*mentioned teacher has said "Michael" when she's really said "micro."
* ...every time you go in a music store and go to the J's you want to buy of all Michael's CD's and singles that store has even though you already have them.

Nancy - 11th June 1996

*You buy a new computer just so you can play the CD EXTRA!
*You are 3 years old and you'd rather watch taped videos of Michael Jackson than Barney or Sesame Street. (my grandson does!)
*You use up most of your allotted internet time to keep up with MJ news and fan club related computing.
*There hasn't been another artist's tape played in your car since HIStory was released.
*You requested that one of MJ songs be played at your daughter's wedding reception - (Smile).
*You imagine all of us gathering together and encircling Mike Walker and singing BEAT IT, TABLOID JUNKIE, and the MAN IN THE MIRROR (maybe you can think of others) and we are his worst nightmare (like the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future). There would be no escape for him until he pleaded for our forgiveness.

Janet - 24th June 1996

*Like Cyndi I too dream of him.....Now those are fun dreams.....I had one really weird dream where Joe beat Janet and Michael finally blew up (we were in the hot tub). He said "That bastard is never going to touch any of us again." So the three of us went over to Joe's and MJ beat the crap out of him.....Then we went to Janet's concert and you could see that she had used make up to cover her black eye..... (Oh we got married somewhere in there too [minor detail hee hee]) I had a really sad MJ dream once too.......
*I was standing outside the gates to Neverland and I saw a really sad kinda lost looking man standing there looking up longingly at the estate....he turned and started to walk a bit and I saw that he had dropped somthing so I went up to them...they were sunglasses...so I went up to him and tapped him on the shoulder and said "Excuse me sir, you dropped your sunglasses back there." And without turning he said "And you didn't take them." I said "No.Why would I do that?" He said "Most people would kill for those.....and he turned and it was Mj (he face was streaked with tears). And I asked him what was wrong and I guess he was surprised that I wasn't a pschyco fan (hee hee) so he took my arm and led me into Neverland where he told me about how that whore Lisa Marie used him, then he wept in my arms.....
*There is more....me history teacher said one day "MJ is just WEIRD" and I blew up (I swear I wrote "U R one hypocrytical bastard" on the paper I was doodling on)...Anyway, risking my 95% in History I wrote him a letter stating how I felt about what he said about MJ and that I wanted to do a project (for no extra marks) to show him that MJ is no a child molesting "weirdo".........well it worked (phew) and he apologized to all the classes that he said that to and then said that it was the best thing I had ever written......
*Ummm I was at an amusment park when I decided that I was in an MJ Mood so I was singing Billie Jean as loud as I could on all the roller coasters....so I got a few weird looks, some people actually sang along........

*Go out for a walk (running!) With MJ on Your walkman and continue to run, eventhough you almost faint because your soo tired, till the tape is finished, so you heard the whole tape. If you're not 'dead' just run on so you can hear the tape twice
*Climb in a tree, and scream MICHAEL IS THE BEST, so everyone can hear it
*Thinking about how to make a beautiful graffiti on a wall somewhere in the centre of Amsterdam, so evryone can see. Off course the Graffity must be about Michael
*You are willing to die for him.. (if they only had radio and Television in heaven, so you can still watch and hear Michael)

Jackie - 25th June 1997
*You know you are a MJ fan when you have to listen to each song a million times: first to sing along with the lead vocals, then to sing along with the background vocals, etc. until you sing every hee! hee! ow! and whoo!
*BTW, I would love to hear a song written especially for his faithful and loving fans (I'm sorry I forgot who said that). I also have suggestions for future albums. Many people have stated how much they love Michael's rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star." I would love for him to include that on a children's album of other Disney songs (Second Star to the Right, Someone's Waiting for You) and lullabies. Can you imagine the inspiration PMJJr has given him? Or maybe he could do another Christmas album including "My Grownup Christmas List" (sung originally by Natalie Cole, I think.) Or he could put out an instrumental album. He has written some beautiful orchestral pieces like at the end of "This Place Hotel" or the familiar intros to many of his other songs that when I heard first them, I wished he would do more like them.
*I apologize for changing the subject so abruptly again, but I wonder if anyone could answer some questions regarding PMJJr. Does anyone know where I could find pictures of him? I had heard that Elizabeth Taylor was to be his godmother. Has anyone heard if he was christened, and if so, into what religion and who is the godfather?

Adriana - 26th June 1997

*You argue with a total stranger (who is twice your size and twice your age) in front of all the media and in front of a bunch of strangers because he's bashing MJ. By the end of the arguement, the crowd is cheering you on and laughing at him! And you win the arguement! (me in front of the hospital Feb. 12 1997 day b4 Prince was born)
