So I was online the other day, searching Jimmy (again!) and I came across a page that had a fictionalized story of James Dean surviving the crash and becoming a private detective. It was stupid. Then I read about how someone thought that if James Dean HAD survived and gone into hiding, that it would eventually come out because too many people knew, and not all of them could be trusted to keep their mouths shut for very long. It got me to thinking: I'm going to write a story about James Dean surviving the accident. My theory is, only five people really needed to be in on the "cover-up" - Bill Hickman, Sanford Roth, Dr. Bossert and Mr. Kuehl, the funeral home guy. So far I've got about three and a half pages written. Here are the first few paragraphs:
""That guy's got to stop! He'll see us!"
James Dean quickly moved his foot from the accelerator to the brake. The low-slung Spyder jerked slightly to the right as it slowed to the posted speed limit. But the other car, a behemoth Ford Tudor, did not move. He touched the brake again, then accelerated and turned the wheel sharply to the right.

Now, my daughter thinks I REALLY need help! I have picture frames. Most of them hold photos of my family: kids and grandkids. I had a few that had photos of my ex-husband in them, but after he got remarried last fall, I took them down. Didn't take his pictures out of them, just took them down.
Over the last couple of days though, I have replaced the photos of my ex with photos of James Dean (about damn time,too -- we've been divorced for four years!!)
I now have a mini-gallery of James Dean photos in my bedroom. Here they are! I would have them all over the house, but out of respect for my daughter, I do not force my love of James Dean onto her, even though it IS my house and I have every right to hang pictures anywhere I please.
The only "non-picture" is a framed quote from "The Little Prince", his favorite book. It says: "In one of the stars I shall be living, In one of them I shall be laughing, And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night." I had originally bought that after my sister died two years ago because my mom had decided that my sister should be stars, and she (my mom) liked the book, but...

I wrote this blog on myspace on March 2, about three or four days after I watched "Rebel Without A Cause" for the first time ever. Yeah, I know. Hard to believe that I'm this old and I never once thought to watch a James Dean movie. Gimme a break, okay?
"JAMES DEAN, PART II
Well, then, there, now. It seems I've turned fascination into obsession, This is nothing new to me.
When I found out that "Candle In The Wind" was written about Marilyn Monroe, I had to know everything about her. When ABC showed a movie about Ruffian last year, I downloaded every image I could find of her. This one was particularly important to me because when I was younger, my dad and I used to watch horse racing together an she was our favorite horse. After I bought a poster of the Golden Gate Bridge, I surfed the 'net for weeks!
And now, James Dean. Look at my profile, for Pete's sake! Every time I log onto the internet, I search for anything and everything that is even remotely related to James Dean. I know when and where he was born,where he went to school, how he was discovered; I've watched practically every tribute video for him, read every article. I...
