Quick post

I don't have my net back, I'm at the school library patiently waiting for my final to start. *sigh*

So Casey and I had a discussion last night, and I decided that I don't need a relationship right now, especially since I've decided that it's not good for me at the current moment considering I'll be working 6 days a week this summer. They upped my hours at both jobs, now I get to come in at the butt crack of dawn for my 1st job, and stay until the wee hours of the night at my 2nd job. So basically I'll be up from 6am-midnight-ish. *blarg* So much for summer fun.

Last night was really hard for me because I went through a lot of emotional turmoil due to stress, yup, it happens, but today I emerge just fine...and single...again...*sigh* I give up...yeah, yeah, I know most of you have heard it before, but gosh darn it, I deserve to be treated with respect, and like a princess once and a while, and if I can't find one decent human being who does that, then I'm not going to waste my time with the frogs. I congratualted Casey on joining the amphibian ranks...he wasn't too thrilled, but hey, like I was enjoying myself, I HATE breaking things off. Oh well.

I'll get my net back next week, and continue on my posting spree. Cheers.

blah

Ok, so I don't have my internet for a while, so posting will be few and far between for a bit. Did you know that if you don't pay your bill once a month, they turn it off??Oh well, I guess I'll just have to settle for the school computers. *sigh

Things are great, I have to draw a BAZILLION things for my final, so I'm plugging away at stuff. Of course Casey is a welcome (most of the time) distraction, but now we're both in a clincher due to finals week, and he has a butt load of japanese homework to do himself..soo..the race is on.

Nothing much else. I'll post more later..cheerio!

OH ROCKY!! Magenta is the one at the top with the poofy hair..yeah..good stuff!

Rocky Horror Madness

-WARNING- this entry is a very good account of my night, so parents, and 'other' authority figures in my life might want to remember that I'm an adult, and sometimes I want to have a little fun...(giggle) Cassaundra style!

Ah...ok, so talk about re-visiting old haunts. Last night one of our local theaters was playing "the" midnight movie, Rocky Horror Picture Show. Now I have fond memories of this show, the earliest I was 7 and was watching TV, all the sudden I flip channels and I'm seeing a pair of lips on a screen start to sing a song, and then my mom comes into the room and tells me to NEVER watch that movie. Sorry mom, but I think that perked my interest! I know she was protecting me from certain "themes" the movie portrayed, and as an adult I understand that now; however needless to say it was a dark and stormy night back in 93' (i was 13) when that movie came back on. I watched it and didn't really understand it much. Not really getting the plot line or anything else, but being amused at the costuming (or lack of) I just shrugged my shoulders and forgot about it.

Then when I turned 16 or so, I got involved with a group of friend who couldn't stop praising the show. I didn't really understand why it was such a big deal, until I heard the words "live floor show" and "audience participation". You mean that I can dress up all in fishnets and lingerie and no one will care because everyone will be doing the same??!! AWESOME!! I was hooked! (yeah, yeah, i can hear the inward groans of at least 2 people reading this)So I went to my first showing of the movie....yeah..it was cool.

So fast forward to my now 24 (almost 25, ack!) years of age, and this would be the 5th time I have seen a live showing of this movie in a theater. I went with my...um.."friend" Casey (chuckle) and another friend Josh who happens to be playing "Eddie" in a live production at my college in 2 weekends (go josh, you da man!). Anywho, he knows all the extra Rocky dialogue, so the whole time he was shouting out all the lines, and at one point got everyone in the theater clapping and hollering at one comment he made...lemme see if I can get this right...

-Movie Setting- (for those who haven't seen the movie..VIRGIN!!!!...but this does ruin a wee bit)

Dr. Frankenfurter has just turned everyone in the room (Brad, Janet, Dr. Scott, Columbia, and Rocky) into statues via the "Medusa Machine". Right after this happens, there's a split second of silence and Josh yells out "Must have been a good party, everyone got stoned!" I swear, the whole theater erupted into cheers and claps....*sigh..that would be my hometown *smirk*

So, I've got to admire Josh for his knowledge of this stuff, cause I found out that Casey was a total Rocky virgin! It was cute, he jumped up with the rest of us to rush forward to the front of the theater to do the Timewarp (it's just a jump the the left), and shout out lines that I help prompt him with. I felt bad for the people sitting in front of us, because they were REALLY virgins who didn't even know that there was audience participation or live shows or anything...so when you have all these people dressing up in movie garb and shouting things at the screen, it tends to be a little confusing, not to mention sitting in front of josh who was sporting nothing but tidy-whities with a large patent leather trench coat....yeah, got to admire him (just a note, Josh is 6'6 and NOT a small guy). So when Josh stood up, the guy in front of him literally shrieked when he realized that Josh wasn't wearing any pants...I couldn't stop laughing!

I have to say that I looked pretty darn good. I decided to pattern my costume off of one of the characters named "magenta" she has wild poofy hair and lots of fishnets. It was awesome, prolly the best I've ever looked in my Rocky garb. Casey loved it, Josh was in heaven, and I was satisfied for yet another year on the whole "wanting to dress goth" phase. I get that once and a while, but I believe that's what Halloween and Rocky are for...*sigh.

So that was my night. I ended up coming home at 2am, worn out, hair full of rice and confetti, ears still ringing from the noisemakers and no voice from screaming the extra lines and no runs in my fishnets..yeah...all in all a satisfying event...of course the cute peck on the lips and a walk to my door from Casey helped too...yeah...good times. Cheerio!

Weekend weird is

Yeah, talk about weird situations. Casey wanted to take me to a movie on thurs. night. So we settled on the third installment of the Star Wars prequal trilogy. He's already seen it, but according to him "I promise I won't forwarn you of the cool parts, but if my foot starts twitching, ignore me(big goofy grin)!" Ok*smirk* that was cute. Well, what he didn't tell me is that other people would be joining us. When we got there it was his cousin, her BF, his other cousin with his dad, and his ex. No, not the dad's, but Casey's! I was like "ok..this is a little awkward" to Casey's ear. He just said that she's his cousins (#1) best friend. Yeah, ok..riiiiiight. The whole time I swear she was boring holes into my head. Oye...drama *groan*

We bummed around the mall for a bit, then they all decided that they didn't want to see the movie *pout* and spent money at Hot Topic instead. While I was in there, it was fun to reminisce about my younger 'goth' years, but while looking at the multi-colored dread-locked girl at the counter with tons of piercings, who most likely was pushing 30, it reminded me as to why I grew out of that phase. Yeah it was fun to daydream about the cool bodice and lace outfits I saw there, but that was a looooooooong time ago. Even though the urge to buy glitter was strong, I emerged from the store unscathed. *sigh* Sooo long ago it seems.

I guess the goth force was strong, because when I woke up friday morning I heard on the radio that a local theater was doing midnight movies, and the movie? Rocky Horror Picture Show! Yippie, a chance to dress up all in black and not look like a nerd cuz everyone else will be too! Not to mention some will look ten times worse then you. I was just planning on wearing a black peasant skirt and a flowey black peasant top with Mardi Gras beads...no biggie actually. Unfortunately my plans were squelched when Casey called me up to tell me plans where cancelled due to his sis. going into labor. Yeah, I don't think I'll have many opportunities like that again, I don't think it's for me anymore, no matter how trivial and small the circumstances. Oh well.

So my weekend is shot. Some of the girls are having a "girls night" tonight, and I figure it's safe to go. One of the girls I work with, who is rather new, is uber-christian, but as she put it "I may be religious, but I'm not dead!" Right on sista! So she's my moral buddy, where basically we're going to be the non-drinking party. It's nice to know that I won't be the only sober on there, cuz I KNOW the other girls are gonna get sloshed (due to previous experience). So I'm going to look forward to a busy day, then a fun evening out with the girls. Then, homework, homework, homework! Cheerio
