You always remember your first time

If you read the title and thought something dirty, get your mind out of the gutter! Actually, I'm referring to my first time seeing a Rocky Horror Picture Show! Okay, so get your mind back in the gutter ;). My Friday started with an average day of school. My lunch table actually went out for lunch. Surprise surprise! Usually we don't go out. Then I had voice class which went well. After school I went to my voice lesson in Summit. I picked one of the songs for my college supplemental CD. I'm definitely singing "No one is Alone" from Into the Woods. Yay decisions! Then I got home and frantically got ready for band. I went to the football game and yay they won. The guest stands sucked and I couldn't really watch the game though. Also the guard didn't have good show according to our director. So then I had a intervention talk with the color guard and then separately yelled at the rifles. Ugh marching band can be so stressful! Ooh also at the football game I became a slap-bet commissioner! My friends Jon and Brian were arguing over a test answer for math and decided to make gentleman's agreement (huzzah!) Then I changed my clothes and did my makeup (skill) on the bus so I was ready for some Rocky Horror time! Mi amigo Rob picked me up and we drove to the theatre for the midnight showing. Our friend Christine was assistant directing the show which prompted the adventure. So we arrive and there are tons of people dressed up for the show! Like audience members who dressed crazy. Cast members clad only in lingerie welcomed us. They used red lipstick to label our foreheads with V's signifying that we were "virgins" in the Rocky Horror World. So they brought all the virgins in first so we'd have first pick of the seats. Then this drunk couple sat next to us, but then they were escorted out for being too drunk. It was kinda funny, but also pretty scary too. One of them could have hurled on me! Ah yes, but if you haven't seen a Rocky Horror show, go see one while your still young and impressionable! First they're big on audience participation. The actress playing Magenta would randomly sit next to (or on!) audience members, she was hysterical. At one point this girl was turned around to the back so Magenta goes up to her and says," Turn around and watch the movie bitch! Do you need me to show you how to watch the movie?!" I may have paraphrased that a little... Yes, and there were the infamous callbacks. Every time they say "Brad" you're supposed to shout asshole. And every time they say "Janet" you're supposed to shout slut! However, there were a couple of times I shouted and no one else did...Awks. They also gave us newspapers to cover our heads with during the rain scene just like Janet (slut) does! They didn't throw toast at me which was extremely disappointing :(. So how they did it was they played the movie and the actors would just lip synch with the screen. So I don't really know if the actors could even sing. The Frank N. Furt was really good. The Brad (Asshole) and Janet (slut) were pretty good too. I was kinda disappointed with the muscle mass of the Rocky, but he was still pretty cute. I wonder how many pairs of fishnets stockings that cast goes through. Literally everyone wore fishnets and they were mostly torn to shreds by the end of the show. Haha ridiculous! Then after enjoying the show (questionable haha) I somewhat worked my way home at a ridiculously late hour. At that point I was so exhausted I was starting to lose it. Sleep is really good. Overall a fantastic evening...even if I didn't get toast thrown at me!
