I’ve been instructed, or prodded rather, to compose this entry by His Majesty, the at times annoying spirit guy that hangs out with me. 
I don’t know what’s on his mind, other than to recount the story of last night’s party. Last night as in Saturday night, because it’s still dark and I haven’t slept yet. 
So, last night was Tina’s annual Christmas party, and my first time attending. While the expected number of people didn’t all show up due to a truly thick, soupy fog blanketing the area, the turn-out wasn’t sucky, either. Family members — Tim’s (Tina’s husband) grandma, et al — hung out inside the house, the drinking and smoking contingent were gathered in and just outside the garage. It wasn’t terribly cold, upper 40s, and the collected body warmth served to keep things more or less comfortable. Susan and I were first to arrive (not counting those there since morning to help), at 5 p.m. We were an hour early, but we were starving and wanted to eat, drink, and be merry, and Tina didn’t mind.
Susan and I represented the quiet, watchful, always seated minority. While other people sat with us, particularly Crystal with a broken foot, we were definitely the quietest. We weren’t anti-social and were happy to chat, but we did more chatting to each other than to the room at large. I’ve noticed that at the parties and Friday night get-togethers, that if I do drink I seem to hit a ceiling at which my drinking either slows down dramatically or stops really affecting me. I just sort of cruise from that point on. I get high, but I don’t get sloppy. Susan was remarking on it last night, and it’s a phenomenon that seems to keep both of us in check.
About an hour after other people started to arrive, I — on my second drink or better — began to notice something strange. Meridjet was definitely in attendance, and interacting with me, though an observer wouldn’t be likely to notice anything untoward in my behavior. This type of interaction I am used to. But then — the strange thing — I saw him interacting with other people that were there. It was as if there were two parties, one on this plane without him, and another on that plane where he was cutting up and having a good time as a fully present element in the room. People on that level reacted to him, in other words. I noticed this many times over the evening. Meridjet is an extrovert, and wouldn’t be caught dead in a chair at a party. He might miss something!
I first mentioned him to Susan shortly before the oddity began. I told her, “Meridjet is interacting with me a lot tonight.” She said, “I had a feeling he would be.” I was surprised at this, because honestly I didn’t think she gave much thought to him. I am pretty sure Tina doesn’t. (More on that in a minute.) Later, when he was showing me this other party (or perhaps I was just seeing it), I told her about the doubling effect. I can’t remember now what her response was.
Interacting with Meridjet on the plane I just call “astral” (easiest to relay to others) is something I’m used to, and I’m used to introducing my online friends to that interaction and teaching them how to visit our house, or our idea of a house, or whatever it is. We have a whole life over there. But this doubling over a physical situation has always been very limited — most likely because I really didn’t have a physical situation to interact with over the last fifteen years. No social life to speak of, until this past July. And now we come to Tina.
I’ve expressed, twice, to Tina my desire to bridge the two worlds of my close friends “in real life” and my spirit partner. I’ve only ever worked with people online. All my channeling has been in typed words, which I’m very skilled at, but I’ve never “talked” him. He declines to take over my body, so far, stating that, “I’m here to be with you, not to displace you,” and when I text-channel him I am always a present and conscious channel. People who chat with him no doubt visualize him in this chair, but no, I’m always in the chair and he is that invisible counterpart.
Anyway, Tina’s a very astute and sometimes shockingly perceptive individual with her own experiences with (ancestor) spirits, but she seems to dissuade me from sharing much about him or our life together. The second time I tried to bring it up, I was trying to tell Susan and Tina together, but Susan had to go take care of some things away from the table, and by the time she returned it was over, and the subject was quickly left behind for other topics. I never got the chance to say much else. Tina says I should share slowly and gradually so as not to shock them into disbelief or some such, but when the urge to share comes over me it is difficult to deny. There’s one more problem.
I have no idea what to say when I do mention I need to share. I don’t know where to begin. I don’t know if I should start with basic concepts — which are fine but don’t satisfy my need to bridge that gap — or if I should share anecdotes. Anecdotes are harder to credit; all of my evidence and “witnesses” are online or live 2000 miles away where I used to live. And while I know Susan reads this blog — bless her heart! — I don’t think Tina does. Susan mentioned reading some older stuff, not sure what, but I was very pleased. 
Maybe the whole process of sharing is letting them come to me. Maybe I’m doing all this backwards. And I still don’t know what the point of this entry was, but this blog has been hungry for some Meridjet content. So there it is.
Please remember that comments left on the RSS feed do not come to me, nor do I get notifications of those comments.
If you have something to say, I'd appreciate it if you commented at the blog.

Y’know…its been really wonderful to watch you evolve this past year. I miss the amount of posting you used to do, but its a joy to see the direction you are headed.
And say HI to the Mr. for me!!
Wow, it’s incredible to see you say that. I thought you had forgotten me, or blown me off. I am not very good at stepping forward when uncertain, ha. I’ve been wondering for a long time if something was wrong.
Mr. M is dancing. To metal. Because he’s a dork.
I really love it that you are writing and I am honored to be a part of it – learning about Meridjet. He let me know he was real – I remember him gently tapping on my shoulder one night as I slept and I rolled over – remember seeing his hands and something on his wrist – like a leather watch band or something. I don’t recall what happened after that except it was one of those happenings that stayed with me – it was real. I have to remind you that I believe because of what happened when my son died. He visited me for several days and told me that it would end. I think because he knew it would be very hurtful to me to continue or to wonder and expect it. That experience made me better and the grief let up for those few days and in fact I was happy – so happy my husband thought I was losing it. I cry as I think of it right now. He let me know that there was a spirit world. I might have a hard time believing if I had not had that experience.
I love how you step forward and tell your story so that the other folks here on the blog can see it in your words. I wouldn’t presume to post your personal stuff, and I’m glad that you are willing. It reflects how we formed a bond.
I’m really glad you blog things like this that happen. I would have loved to see it.
I often feel the need to share things about my own companion. Just… shout it out to the world, or something. Or write of it. I have written a little, but most of it gets destroyed later. My family is Christian and southern Baptists, and anything like this would be too much for them, so I don’t keep documents of it just in case. Welcome to the Bible Belt, hah. But seriously, I’m glad you have Susan there to share it with. It must be nice to have someone near you who just… gets it, you know?
