I don't know where to begin other than to say I'm finally to a point where I have regained motor control and have enough control over the tears to post about Michael.

( Memories of Michael )

I still can't believe its true. I have so many memories of him as well. I know he had lots of superfans, but it's crazy to think of how ingrained he's been in our lives.

My first tape was Janet from you, but I mostly wanted it because of him. Seriously remembering all the things he inspired. I keep thinking of our programs and dances we made up to HIStory. It's so crazy.

I watched the Superbowl appearance last night and remembered thinking that because I was a kid I would for sure meet him one day. The HIStory booklet (I believe) has pictures of him with fans as well as celebs like Liz Taylor. I was so sure that we'd be in his album one day (apparently I was delusional)

I'm listening to him right now and every song has a memory. Our twin dance to Man in the Mirror is the current one. He never made us cool, but he's brought so much fun and happiness.

I like reading your memories/experiences with him and his music. I think my main experience was four years of choir and having to sing Heal The World over and over and over pretty much cemented Michael in my heart. :)

I'm sorry I'm being such a dork!

Aw. I love that song, except that it's one of the few with a negative memory for me. Cassi and I used to change the lyrics to be rude to Lisa, and I feel guilty about it. We were only 9ish and acting our age, but still.)

You're not being a dork. :)

Haha see that makes me laugh too. :p I heard Earth Song on the radio today. I've forgotten how much I liked that one too. There's just so many to love!

Yes, I am. But that's too bad, because I can't stop myself.

Do you have all his albums? I'm sharing his music with the world if there's anything you don't have that you want. ;)

I was going to do an entry, but it fit here a lot better.

Today was a day of realising just ohw big of a part of our lives Michael was. Not that we needed it, but Michael provided a lot of bonding time for us.

Here are some random things I remembered today.

Remember watching the Jackson movie on Thanksgiving at GG Greco? And performing basically the entire HIStory album? I kept listening to songs and realising how big of dorks we were, but how much fun it was.

Remember making this for me for the Steps forum?:

I keep thinking of more Michael memories I didn't write down. The reminiscing is making me realize we're huge dorks, but I don't really care because they're such great, fun memories.

Dude. I totally forgot I'd made that!

I was thinking about that, too. This isn't just a 'wow, now this tragic thing has happened I should pretend to be a huge fan of his.' We just are huge fans of his. I mean, Kelly and I were even talking about him Wednesday night because he's such a normal part of my life that he just comes up in regular conversation ( ... )
