Mjbunny Didn't see your post before, we posted at the same time I guess. I hope you feel better soon.
Bad dream, ughh - okay here's your assigment: have a good, sweet, ( hot ?) Michael dream and tell the Harmony Hut all about it tomorrow, okay ? Be a good girl ,no more bad MJ dreams, ya hear ?
Oooooo, wonderful assignment. Did you read that too, Michael? :naughty: :lol:

Some of the things going through my mind a lot the past 36 dazed hours are 1) how damned much I want to know what really happened to take Michael from us. I believe he showed me twice last July what happened that morning in the room, especially since later info proved to match what I saw, but that didn't cover
motivations or
why's. That's driving me crazy again :no: ...
2) This is so tough to be past June 25th now. There's no more 'last year at this time'. I mean there is when I think of the memorial, the pain, the first visits from Michael. But you know what I mean. It's really like starting a new year, and not on a happy note. It's like A.D. and B.C.E. How does time get counted again? There's no year zero, right? So that terrible day was the beginning of the year 1 A.M.J.? Or did we just mark 1 A.M.J.?
3) I can't stand the word fan. We were talking about this in another thread recently. As nutty as it can sound,
devotee was about the best choice. Here's some stuff from dictionary.com on being a devotee. These words have been running through my head the last day or so ... especially Friday.
Devotee:
* a person who is greatly devoted to something.
* a person who is extremely devoted to a religion; a follower.
* an enthusiastic follower or fan
Devote:
* To give or apply (one's time, attention, or self) entirely to a particular activity, pursuit, cause, or person.
* to appropriate by or as if by a vow; set apart or dedicate by a solemn or formal act;
consecrate.
Devotion:
* profound dedication; consecration.
* earnest attachment to a cause, person, etc.
* an assignment or appropriation to any purpose, cause, etc.
* zeal, ardor. See love.
* Ardent, often selfless affection and dedication, as to a person or principle. See Synonyms at love.
Consecrate:
* to make or declare sacred
* to make (something) an object of honor or veneration; hallow: "a custom consecrated by time."
* to devote or dedicate to some purpose: "a life consecrated to science."
* sanctify, venerate. / See devote.
More:
These verbs mean to give to a particular end and especially to a higher purpose. Devote implies faithfulness and loyalty. Dedicate connotes a solemn, often formal commitment.
Consecrate suggests sacred commitment.
Devote, dedicate, consecrate: Devote, though it has some overtones of religious dedication, is the most general of the three terms: "He devoted his free time to mastering the computer." Dedicate is more solemn and carries an ethical or moral tone: "We are dedicated to the achievement of equality for all." Consecrate, even in nonreligious contexts, clearly implies a powerful and sacred dedication: "consecrated to the service of humanity."

None of that sounds familiar...:girl_whistle: Like I've said before, either there's more to all of this, or we're all just the exact same kind of crazy :lol: I think the former, though, because I'm
pretty sure I'm not nuts.
P.S. Oh geez, I left this out... the whole devotion/consecration/dedication thing was on my mind so much and then today I was flipping through channels and caught the last 15 minutes of "Michael Jackson Devotion" of Film24. So there you go.
