A Flummoxed Bird

thanks LA.

leaving san fran and headed for LA today. this time yesterday, my feelings about this trip were completely different. now i feel like ill probably be sad the entire time. i’m by no means a touristy person but a trip to mj’s hollywood star may be in order. for him, i will be a complete cornball. if you see me on cnn crying & holding a rose while attempting to moonwalk…please withhold judgment. maybe not forever, but at least for a week.

text 25 Jun thank you michael for...

being my solid, one and only childhood crush
late nights with my cousins learning how to moonwalk
the bruises and cuts from the FAIL
scaring the shit outta me with thriller
the many tears of emotion i cried over your performances
the croutch grab
the smooth criminal lean
dirty diana
human nature
pyt
the gloves
the socks
the red jacket
the dark glasses
startin’ somethin’.

i will remember you for these things and these things alone.

xoxo
