So we had our school retreat today, & there was a band right? They started playing will anda be there, & my Friends were all nudging me going "it's MJ!" The thing is, I didn't know it was MJ when they first started playing. I had never heard will anda be there before, yet all my Friends knew it. Isn't that kinda sad? My friend Emily was like "Keri, it's MJ get up & sing!" but I was like "I don't know the words." I learned it pretty fast though; they only played the first 2 lines over & over instead of the whole song, so I didn't feel like a total idiot!! So it was kinda embarrassing for me because my Friends all know me as the big MJ fanatic, yet I didn't recognize the song. But it really made my day!
