Hey, very nice avatar, MBM!

Yeah, I didn't have any Richard dreams last night either. However, something hit me last night after watching the FR documentary. I'm the kind of person who writes poetry, and just generally likes to put words down on paper if there's no other real outlet for them, and I was feeling so much for him last night that I started writing a tribute-like thing for him. I've never done that for anyone before, so it's interesting...

Thanks Skye! My new love Stevie sadly must share a spot with Richard.

Do you feel like posting your tribute-like thing? I'm sure we'd love to read it, if you're up for it.

Haha! Well, I certainly can't blame you. I've had a crush on Stevie forever.

Sure, I'd love to share the tribute if you guys would like to read it. It's not quite finished yet, but I should be able to post it either later tonight or tomorrow.

Ok, here it is. The tributes that are on this site kind of inspired this. I did edit it a bit. I'm not sure how good I think this is, but I do hope you guys like it.

Throughout life, we run across some people who make us feel happy just by hearing their voice, whose smiles are so contagious that you can't help but smile back, and who personally feel so much happiness and joy in what they do, they just want to share it with the world. These people are few and far between - and finding all these qualities in one person is even harder to do - but one of these amazing people was Richard Hunt.
Richard - there is almost nothing better than listening to you perform one of your many characters. As the amazing and versatile performer you were, you could make the audience feel everything your character felt. With the laughter comes a million other emotions. My heart breaks, though I know you'd want me to laugh. Your energy and enthusiasm in everything is so incredibly irresistible. Your voice rises above everything when you talk or sing, and your laughter makes me long for more. It's so easy to fall for you. Watching you perform your characters - seeing the love you felt and put into them - I long to watch you for just one second longer... hold on longer...
Richard touched so many lives in his short time here, and people are still discovering how truly brilliant he was. So, to you, Richard Hunt... the beautiful, gorgeous, sweet, wonderful, and talented man behind Scooter, Janice, Sweetums, Junior Gorg, Don Music, and so, so many others... Rest In Peace forever. We love you always.

Gosh, I hate doing this to you guys. But I had yet another dream last night. Probably brought on by my Pre-Vacation jitters. Vacations always get me on edge.

Well, after a day of limping around the house, getting bags packed, and stuff ready to go; I finally sacked out in bed around 1am early this morning.

The dream started out in a horrible replay of what I was doing eariler. But the clothes kept snapping at me, alive and like monsters. I started seeing goblins climbing out of the suitcases, and from under my pillow. The goblins looked like something out of Labyrinth; and I started to try to fight back, until one of them grabbed ahold of my right knee. It started to mock me, and my thrashings, as it started to twist my knee this way and that way. It hurt like the fires of heck. Another one grabbed my two plushies, one is InuYasha, the other is Scooter. It ripped off the head of InuYasha, then it started to go after Scooter. The door suddenly opened, and Richard rushed in, shooing the goblins out of my room. He seemed to be much larger then I was, almost twice my size. He picked me up, and cradled me close to him. Grabbing my knee brace, he started to put it back on me. Then he laid me back in the bed, and covered me up.

He grabbed a seat and started to sit down, until he saw one last goblin still holding Scooter. He took it from the goblin, and gently handed it back to me, as he chucked the goblin out the window. I rememeber what he said to me, as I curled up, hugging the doll.

"They won't ever bother you again. I'll make sure of that. Now you just go back to sleep, okay sweetpea?"

I nodded, and went back to sleep. A few moments later, I woke up in real life.

Thanks, MBM! :smile:

Wow Sara, despite the beginning, that was a really awesome dream. So sweet. I just have to echo MBM's sentiments: Lucky, lucky, lucky! Oh, and don't hate doing this to us all... we do love hearing about your wonderful Richard dreams!

Finally, finally, FINALLY had sort of kind of a dream.

So we're at the bookstore, and some stuff happened, and then suddenly we realized that the Muppeteers had come with us. And Richard's hiding from my friend. So he comes up the escalator, and she's beside me looking the opposite direction. Richard kind of panics, and starts to go...down the up-escalator, but realizes that doesn't work, and comes up sheepishly. I mouth "She hasn't seen you" with hand gestures and everything, and he winks and runs away. Then Steve walked by. The end.

Well, does your friend like muppets? Maybe that's why he was hiding from her, because she was a "non-believer."
*wink* Hiho, Kate the fantom poster here.
*smile* The other night, I was up 'til 3-30 catching up here! By the time I was done, even I had more shame than to reply at such an hour! The next day, by the time I was ready, I'd forgotten a lot of what I wanted to say, sheesh! Here goes though, and for now the most important things to say are:
Skye, that was a great tribute. I'll tell you the truth; I was afraid to read it at first, thinking it would get me all depressed. You did a great job though at preventing that from happening, keeping it short, to the point, and without dwelling on tragity and misfortune.
Sarah, I love hearing about your dreams! They provide me with entertainment, as well as a lot of food for thaught! Yes, I'd definately say he's looking out for you, to make a long story short.

Yay, thanks, Kate! I'm really glad that you liked it, and I'm glad it didn't bring you down.

MBM, that's a really cute dream. With him starting to go down the up-escalator and then coming up sheepishly... I can totally imagine that, and it's like, the cutest thing in the world! I kinda had a dream about him last night, too. He wasn't technically in it, though... but, I had this videotape of something with him. I'm not sure what was on the tape because I never actually watched it. I just know he was on it doing something, and I was so careful with this tape, and never let it out of my sight or anything.

I just have a quick question for you guys. I feel like it's one of the stupidest question in the world, so promise me you'll tell me if it is. I realized that I don't know what color Richard's eyes were. So, what were they? I wanna say I think they were brown, but I don't know for sure.
