"I admit searching "party monster" on AOL Journals...but you take the the obsession to a new level..." - Swirlywand.
Huh? Where did she got the "obession" ideal about Michael Alig and me? I talked about him in my journal a few times and that's about it. A few times doesn't make me so "obsession" about Michael Alig.
I truly found him fascination as much as James St James. They both brought a new world that didn't exsist before. They and their followers are known as The Club Kids, a world I truly felt I belong to. It was such a shame that I didn't move to NYC; I will have love being a club kid as fondly as being their friend.
Michael and James could have made a differance in my life; I will have felt that I belong somewhere with friends. All my life, I was......still am......an outsider that nobody understand. I didn't have that many friends in school; I didn't belong at all. I am an alien to them; this alien was isolated from the world I lived in.
I was in a strange land that didn't accept me for who I was. The moment I saw Michael and James on Geraldo, I knew I found my place among the club kids. I didn't seek out clubland at all; the mothership transported me to Hollywierd, the land of the freaks. I made a choice of following my long time dream in Hollywood, but my heart remained in clubland.

I was part of the scene back in the Disco 2000 era at Limelight and knew Michael Alig. I understand your point about being accepted and I honestly have to say you have stolen my alien/god theory!!! LOL!
Michael is supposed to be out in 2006....he wrote me in May and i have just sent him another letter a few days ago. An outlaw party should be given!
I know what you're saying as well spirit....I've always felt like I didn't belong sometimes myself..but I do have to say...Michael and his friends weren't the best role models for club kids.
I mean they were extreme drug users....and while I agree...Michael shouldn't be in prison...as I do believe he was acting in self-defense when he murdered Angel Melendez....I do believe that if you stay away from drugs..and live a decent life...you're gonna not have to deal with drug dealers...and pushers...and the like.
That was a horribly bad choice on his part, and his friend.
I was a club kid myself...but I never ventured through the world of drugs..and I hope no one else follows that example..which in my opinion paints a horrible image of club kids...and makes them more vulnerable to stereotypical assholes.
Also, on the 2006 release date.....there's no guarantee Michael will be out of prison next year.
2006 is just when he becomes eligible for parole....and if he's released great, but we should be prepared for the possibility he might not get out...which would be a sad fucked up thing, but with the way the laws are now...totally sucky and sick....it wouldn't surprise me if he was turned down.
If you read this though Michael.......I'm not knocking you...as I don't know what difficulties you faced in life, or what lead to your drug use...etc....so I won't hold that over your head...I was just making general comments on the example that was set forth.
I do think you're cool...and totally awesome for the most part.
Keep the faith, I'll pray for your parole babe...and that you will have a great life when you're finally out on the streets where you belong again.
