Hi everyone(: I am realatively new to the site, and i try to visit the forum everyday, but I'm usually in the chatroom(: my name is Kaitlyn, and i first became a fan of Michael in 2003. I was only 8 at the time, and I saw him on the news a lot, and I believed all of the filthy tabloid trash because i was too little and innocent to realize that people lie. When the allegations came out in 2003, I simply asked my mother, "did Michael Jackson do what everybpdy thinks he did?" and she replied "No, he didnt. He is a child at heart, and he was just having a sleepover like you do with you friends." Then i started listening to his music and I loved him. On June 25, 2009, i was sitting in my livingroom when my best friend texted me "MICHAEL JACKSON WAS RUSHED TO THE UCLA HOSPITAL!!" I turned on the news, and there it was. Michael Jackson Dead. i cried for weeks, but then I got to thinking, mabye hes not dead, mabye it was a hoax. and i started researching, mostly on youtube at first but then i found this website, and i LOVE it. it helps remind me that Im not crazy for beLIEving in this hoax, and that Im not alone. Thank you everyone for welcoming me. its nice to have met everyone(:
