I'M STILL IN SHOCK..Today I met my idol...The amazing thing
about it was that I wasn't even at Steve or Becky's Events!!!...It was
almost 5pm..Steve's started @ 4:30...I was sitting at the bottom of
the staircase @4:56 @ The Sportsman's Lodge, goin' on and on about
JONATHAN to this one lady...All of a sudden I turned my head and
couldn't believe my eyes....It was HIM....He was there..omg...what was
he doing there? (I had already made a couple of visits to the parking
lot to look for his car to no avail)...He walked over to the entrance
of the 'Ballroom' where the GH Luncheon had been held ( 10 feet away
from little ole' me)..There were 3 women there...All I saw were
LUCKYSTARS. Was I thinking? Was I breathing ? What's my name,and where
the hell am I????...The lady that I had been talking to said, "Isn't
that him? The guy you were talking about?" "Huh"?, I kept hearing
myself say.. I started fumbling through my BIG purse looking for a pen
that I totally knew I didn't have, the whole time thinking,"omg, girl.
Look at him...forget the pen..Don't waste the moment, soak up every
second, every movement". I suddenly looked up and he was about to walk
by me....He had asked them if they knew where Steve's event was...and
one of them was having him follow her there....I wanted to say, "I'll
take you Jono".wwweeeeee...I don't know where it is, but I'll take
you......(LOL).BUT instead I said,"I suppose it would be ridiculous
that you'd have a pen"...WHAT?????? i didn't really say that, please
tell me I didn't say that(DORK!!!)......Not only was I about to faint
dead away, but what kind of LAST WORDS were those!!!.He said," No. I
don't, sorry". He kept walking. I ran, floated, to the coutch where
the other people were and asked, ok begged.Ok,. I promised my first
born to them for a pen...( I'm sending him to her house next week. Is
there a God, or what?...Somehow I caught up to him and said,"Hey
Jonathan. I acosted someone and got a pen. Would you please sign this
for me"? "SURE, he said, in a soft voice. He signed as WE.....he he he
LOL..walked together through the patio .(earlier in the day I had
bought a couple of 8x10's of HIM)..While he was writing I mentioned
that I had sent him an old Dodger ticket stub from 1965. He said, "Oh
Yeah. I remember that" HELLOOOOOOO...omg....I somehow reminded myself
to look at his eyes.....darn it....Yellow tinted shades!!!!...He was
wearing faded blue jeans and a long sleeved khaki/greenish silk
shirt..yummmmmmy....His skin, just as I've been told..... Creamy
alabaster..See through clear.....double yummy.. To my HORROR I was on
his right side.......I'm the Keeper of Lucky's left earlobe. The least
I could have done was, CHECK ON MY STUFF.......In other words,I can't
even tell the Keeper of Lucky's earrings which one he had on(
forgiveness can be a good thing)..... As I thanked him, I have his
upper right arm a little, but bold....(ok...i'm really cracking up now)
SQUEEZE.......yipppeeeeee.....I just thought of this....Why the hell
didn't I turn around and watch him walk away? That's what happens when
you 'leave your body'...I honestly don't know how I got backinside the
building...The next thing I knew....I was by the staircase
again......In a daze, as if I weren't even there, except for the fact
that I couldn't speak, was shaking inside and was ready to pass
out...Then the lady that I had been talking to before the LUCKYLOVEBUG
bit me, said, "Aren't you glad I kept telling you to run after
him?"..."Huh?"..I heard myself say over and over again....I forgot to
mention that my neice, who loves JJ almost as much as I do, was on the
other side of the wall using the phone while ALL of this was going
down...She came back shortly after I did..The lady said to her," Your
Aunt got Jonathan's autograph".. My neice(Debi) had this fuzzy look on
her face,I'll admit I wasn't and never will be back to NORMAL(
remember, "That's what makes us superior") AFTER my
LUCKYDAY.....Hey,that was just part 1....Less than an hour later we
were sitting on a bench next to the front door in front of the
entrance..I noticed this lady walking by. I gasped and put my glasses
on and said, "OMG..I thought that was Jonathan's Mom, but it
wasn't"..My brother and sister in-law arrive. Debi and I walked over to
the car and her mom says, "Isn't that Lucky over there?". At the same
moment we said, " You're so mean. I can't believe you said that"(the
perfect time to say the LUCKY word,WEIRD)Then my brother joins in
with," Look. It IS Lucky". Debi and I turned around and......It is
him...It's him. Omg he's baaaaackkkkkkk...Oh no, another pen roadblock.
But my brother had a LUCKYblue sharpie...I walked around LUCKYJJ, and
stood on his right side..my upper arm was totally pressed against his(
I hope that isn't illegal)..Rememeber..It's NOT the thought that
counts( Notice I made the same error twice.Standing on his right
side)..I'll ask her if she noticed( earring), especially since she was
standing right in front of him.)..It was her chance to 'be at one with
him'. She said," WE ALL WISH YOU'D COME BACK. WE MISS YOU". I detected
a slight chuckle under his breath..( how many times has he heard that
statement)....I reminded myself to check out those Lucky baby blues..I
got a tiny glimps of the right corner....ooooohhhhhhhhh very very
blue.(BSMH)...(Be still my heart)....We watched in awe as he got into a
white Sunbird( Sun was the first part of the word, anyway) with his
sister( we are almost positive) and his MOM..It WAS her...He sat in
back on the passenger side..His Mom sat in front of him...When
something like this happens it plays over and over and over in your
head...Why didn't I do this?..Why didn't I say that?...I am forever
going to wish I had mentioned how much we LOVE God Candy....Darn
it..and why didn't I suggest getting air time on the radio? I could
have told him how disappointing it was that his Deep End of the Ocean
song wasn't in the movie......I will be so greatful for the time I got
to spend with HIM....as fleeting as it was.... I will say this though,
WHAT GOES AROUND REALLY DOES COME AROUND...I gave a friend $ to go
crazy with souveniors and I gave her my camera with 25 'shots
left'......LATER....I ran out of film...I ran out of money( Debi and I
were going to go to Steve's event JUST to meet Jonathan)......AND LOOK
AT WHAT I GOT IN RETURN...A GOOD FRIEND AND MY 'JONATHAN
STORY'........Love, Julie( Luckylover6/Luckyjono) Keeper of Jonathan's
Music, Keeper of Lucky's left earlobe,Keeper of Lucky's butt as soon as
I can find it....THERE'S ANOTHER THING...WHY DIDN'T I TRY TO FIND
IT??????EEEEKKKKKKK
