^^^ If you are saying that I am not a boring person, I will take that as a compliment! As for being a creepy person, what is it that you think makes me one? To me, all that I am is dedicated where James is concerned. πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ God bless you him always!!! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Holly P.S. So far I have only seen him personally twice, so how does that make me a stalker? I have chatted with other fans of his who have literally seen him more than my fingers and toes can count. ---

May I ask how old you are, Holly? Just an age range is fine if you don’t want to say exactly. I’m just wondering if perhaps I’m not in James Otto’s target demo. I’m just an old fart. ---

> [@James\_Otto\_Sweet\_Heart](#): > > ^^^ That would be a decision that James would have to ask the Lord to forgive him for. Well, you could always tie each other up and play that popular old game, β€œFrench Resistance Fighter/Nazi Interrogator.” No penetration would have to occur. I feel certain god would be okay with that. ---
