    So he does read our letters? That was good information. I thought perhaps he threw them away as soon as he was out-of-fan site.

              That letter I mentioned in my story that he got, the one that he must have read to get my name, I put my fax number and cell phone number in the letter? He just fucking CALLED ME!!!!!! I heard the fax machine go off and then jokingly me and my room mate said, “I wonder if that’s Morrissey”, and then after the fax machine my cell phone rang and I was thinking, holy shit, if the area code on my cell phone says 212 that’s NY and that’s where he is now right? So it says 212! I should have just let him leave a message but I answered it like an idiot, “hello this is Craig”, whoever it was just didn’t say a word for about 8 seconds and then hung up. I called the number back and it is the **** **** [hotel details removed at request of poster - DT Nov. 17, 2004 12:20am PST] Hotel, a luxury hotel in NY. IT HAD to be him, I do not know anyone else in NY. I should have just let him leave a message, what an idiot I am for picking up. I’m just hoping he tries again.What did I do to deserve this?

I also wrote him a letter with my number just with the wild fancy in my deluded dreams that he might call me. But alas....Anyways, you are now part of his mind's landscape.....Trully blessed.

                              It's not too far-fetched. Wendy Wu, and a couple more people were just fans like everyone else, and later became close, personal friends of his. It's the remaining friends part that's a bit more difficult. Everyone knows how famous he his for ex-communicating people from social circle. Wendy ain't around anymore, so it's safe to say that you would have to watch what you say, especially on here.
