Dear Diary,
The American Music Awards were tonight. Michael Jackson won 9 out of 10 awards. He looked great but his outfit wasn’t so hot. I can’t describe it. He also won a Merit Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Music Field. I hope someday I will be as great an entertainer as Michael is. I know I never will but I have my dreams.

Anyway, I wish I was in the audience. That would be neat. I’m sure that Michael Jackson had goals when he was small to be a GREAT, WONDERFUL, SPECTACULAR PERFORMER so here are mine…

1. To become a famous entertainer. (Preferably an accomplished actress and/or singer.)
2. To be able to win at least one of each of these: Grammy, Academy Award and a Tony.
3. To become a HAPPY billionaire. (I would settle to be a millionaire instead.)
4. To have famous friends. (Even if I do have these friends, I will still keep my friends from Bayville.)
5. To have a truthful bestselling biography written about me.
6. To NEVER use drugs or alcohol!
7. To meet the one, the only MICHAEL JACKSON–I mean, not a handshake (that wouldn’t be bad!) but to really meet him.

I don’t have to do all of these things but some of these would be SPECTACULAR like 1,2,3,6 and 7. But to get all of them would be well…I can’t describe it.

I’m running out of room.

Seeyabye,
Megan F.
