Wrong pocket, go about half a body lowers plz.
How awesome you got to meet Michael. I never got the chanceI often fantasize about what it would be like had I did. I honestly wouldn't know what to say to him. I don't even know if I could have spoke. I just would have been a big pile of nothingness, lol. He'da been like "WTF's wrong with this chick?"
I never got to see him in concert either. When I was younger, I really wasn't into going to concerts. The only person I had seen was Gloria Estefan (and she ROCKED BTW). All together in my lifetime I've only seen Gloria Estefan twice and Toby Keith. Then when I got older and actually started to get more interested into the concert scene, I started thinking of all the people that would be cool to go see. Sadly, I never thought of Michael because he wasn't really doing anything at the time, you know? Now I think of how neat it would have been had a surprise US leg been added after the London concerts. I so would have went. My brother's ex-girlfriend went to see Janet a few months ago but she took her cousin instead of me
EDIT: Oh, I realize it wasn't your story. It's a beautiful one, though. I never got the chance

i miss michael jackson, boo
i'm about to bring the mood down to a whole nother level. this is your warning.
Ever met him in real-life?: Yes, twice.
I first met Michael in 96 at Disneyland. My family and I noticed that people were whispering and crowding around a certain area and we were wondering what was up. Someone told my dad, "Michael Jackson is here!" and we were like "What? The Michael Jackson?" It's so weird because he seemed so unreal... like you could really meet MJ?
Anyway, eventually we were able to actually see him and ask for an autograph. When I was a kid I bugged my dad all the time, telling him that MJ was my real dad, so when we got up to him my dad told him, "My daughter thinks you're her real father." and Michael smiles and says "No kidding? What year were you born?" and I told him 1988. Then he raised his eyebrow and asks me what my mom's name is and meanwhile my mom is like
Then later on when I was in high school he was in Vegas and I went for my birthday, and my friend and I found out where he was staying and there were a few other fans there just talking and congregating and whatnot. We were out there for awhile and finally Michael came out and actually talked to us. There were only about a dozen of us but he actually held a conversation with each and every one of us and thanked us for waiting for him. When he came to me I asked him if he remembered me and he said he was sorry that he didn't and I said "You hug like Polar Bears" and he thought for a moment then his eyes got real big and he said "Oh you're my daughter I remember now!" and we both laughed and everyone was looking like WTF lol. Then he gives me a hug and says something along the lines of "My little polar bear! You got so big! How are you doing?" and I told him I was getting ready for film school and we talked for about 5 to 10 mins before he went on to the next fan. He got one of his people to get my address and he sent me a camera and and a some of his favorite movies for the next school year. :') He told me to take care and that he'd see me later but I never saw him after that. I still keep in touch with some of the fans I met in LV and he actually called a couple of them to check in on them and sent another girl a drawing he made of her since she gave him a drawing of him. Apparently he had the memory of an elephant and always remembered a lot of his fans if he saw them more than once. :'( (Btw it's really hard for me to talk about him in past tense
this person's mom met him earlier too
Ever been to one of his concerts?: No
how're you (all) this beautiful morning?
Can't keep bad completely to yourself BES, look at the vote results (somewhere down that forum), there's more of us hugry leeches!! Though I am completely smitten by criminals, good sexy badass Jackson gives me a heart attack in less than 0.000001 of a secondlol..that's cuz myas tries to cut her if she looks at older mike, i called dibs on bad/capt eo era, and heartbreak probably grumbles about sharing thriller era...bwahaha....poor girl can't get off on any mike era wthout getting chewed out...here you go, i'll share honeybun

I think it's interesting to know how he was seen internationally and what he meant to people in different places - but not everyone has to be interested in that so here's your warning) Mike loves him some castles ). His coming was big at the time, and it is still big for me when I look at it in retrospective. It was like a huge boost for Polish ego People from my generation that were teenagers in the 90ties probably remember our reaction to MJ in Warsaw, and having plans to invest in Poland: we went from 'this is unreal" - "what????!! but why??!! what does he want to do????!! Here??!! why here??" state of shock to actually appreciating it, especially when we saw he was serious about it. We were like "Michael... thank you for saying we have class. You made us into first category citizens of the world". You know, this was at the time when McDonalds was the trendies, most fashionable spot in Warsaw... because it was Western and new. I wouldn't want to live in any other country in any other time. Really. My generation (born 1981) grew up with this feeling of something big actually happening in front of our eyes. Hope. Changes. Everything new, even though for Westerners our delight could have seem foolish and silly [like chamone, it's McDonalds for f sake!!] - but I smile looking back at this, and it's an amazing part of my growing up. Showed me right there how important it is to be able to communicate in English - which I'm effectively using right now drolling over his pictures with you lot And there seemed to be less frenzy, less heat and more of a respectful "he is a big human being" treatment around him there, he felt good in Warsaw
