Do you think Michael would have liked you?
I think Michael and I would have connected over drawings. I love pencil portraits. We'd talk about science-fiction, religion, politics, language, old movies, etc. I'm shy and hate vulgarity as well.
And I LOVE children and babies.
I'm atheist - but somewhat spiritual...and I think we're both open-minded enough to discuss these large subjects without getting personal/heated.
He said he likes classy ladies. Now by that, I take it to mean he likes women who don't swear, who hold themselves up with dignity, and who are gracious. I don't think it's to do with glamour or prissiness. A woman can climb trees AND have class!
But if he whacks me with a pillow, I will NOT back down. Haha
Our friendship/relationship would be lovely and simple, but who knows as time went on. I'm a realist and I probably would have given him advice that he wouldn't have liked. He might have eventually added me to the Ignore list, unfortunately.
You?
Interesting insight into what Michael wants in a relationship or in a woman here:

2-Week relaxed Itinerary
Hi everyone,
We are planning a relaxed 2-week trip to Chengdu in November.
Hoping to see a lot of autumn leaves and beautiful scenery!
(NOTE: We previously spent an amazing 2 weeks just in Hangzhou which was perfect for us)
Here is our rough itinerary.
Chengdu (6 nights) places we are interested in:
- Panda Research Base
- Du Fu Cottage
- Wuhou Shrine
- Science and Technology Museum
- Pedestrian streets (Kuanzhai, Taikoo Li, Jinli, Chunxi)
- Sanhe Classic Car Museum (for my son)
- Anshun Bridge / Dongmen Bridge
- Sanxingdui (Day trip)
Jiuzhaigou (4 nights)
- Jiuzhaigou
- Huanglong
Chengdu (2 or 3 more nights before flying back to Australia)
We had originally planned to go to Qingcheng for 3 nights and then straight to Jiuzhaigou but it would be too stressful. So Jiuzhaigou will be our only one BIG trip away from Chengdu.
What are your thoughts?

What are your thoughts?
Which 3 songs would you want Michael to serenade you with?
Imagine a scenario where you had Michael to yourself. After an intimate chat, what 3 songs would you love him to sing to you?
For me:
- Dirty Diana
Just kidding! 😂
Seriously though...
- One Day In Your Life
- Lady In My Life (the begging!!)
- If I Don't Love You This Way
- All I Do is Think of You
Bonus: Break of Dawn
Damn, I can't even follow my own rules!
Who is Michael talking about here?
In the transcript, he describes someone who he:
- celebrated her 18th birthday with at Neverland
- "Very independent, very strong-willed, yet very shy"
- Comes across as a "very spoiled...only daughter"
- "Never had fast food, and she loved American clothes" (which you'd say if she wasn't American)
- Her parents had arranged a marriage for her
- Very rich. Had her own bodyguards.

Anyone else wish we could have had Michael just sit on a stool and sing several of his ballads?
The set list could have been something like:
- Ben
- One Day In Your Life
- I Can't Help It
- Lady In My Life (lights dimmed, of course!)
- Childhood
- Smile
Can you imagine? He always said that ballads were his favourite.
I think it would've been a lovely and intimate experience for Michael himself too.
Chengdu trip with 2 nights in Jiuzhaigou. Hotel question
Hi all, we plan to visit Chengdu for 13 nights. Hoping to spend 2 of those nights in Jiuzhaigou.
How should I go about booking hotels via Trip.com?
Is it more expensive to book Hotel A (Chengdu), Hotel B (Jiuzhaigou), and then Hotel A again?
Or should I just book Hotel A for the whole duration of the trip and book Hotel B on top of that? Is it cheaper this way...?
Also, do you recommend doing the Flight + Hotel package on Trip.com? Or do it separately?
As I said in a previous post, my grandma is unwell and if the worst happens, I may need to try and get a refund. I've heard that packaged bookings make that extra hard.
A special insight into mid to late-70s Michael by his school friend Darls Centola
A lovely interview with a lady who went to school with Michael and LaToya. She was also his Jehovah's Witness mentor and they'd have a lot of private sessions talking under a tree, etc.
I'm listening to the audiobook, narrated by Darls herself.
Shi Yousan the 'Defector General' . What did he even believe in?
>Shi joined, defected from, then subsequently betrayed the forces of Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang, Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei, Zhang Xueliang, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
How to End US Hegemony in One Summit - interview with Warwick Powell
Interesting to hear Powell explain Xi Jinping's take on the Thucydides Trap.
Very good interview.
Loved hearing this song broken down. At times, it sounded like a piece of music from a classic musical.
I know it makes no difference to anything but it was always fun to know what age each NPC was!
..are still slummy. Come on, Alaune.
