So we were bored one night.

I must tell you, this summer has not been what I have wanted it to be in some ways. I have known for a long time that things never ever go as planned, so I never expect anything to be a certain detailed way when it comes to events/meetings/friendships/jobs/money situations. Sometimes though, even in my non-expectant mode of life, even I am thrown for a loop. Saturday night, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW threw me for a loop.

I had been acquainted with the movie through late night vh1 and comedy central, but supposedly, and according to the "narrator" at the theatre, that wasn't authentic. The movie itself isn't that bad, imo, but the patrons are! (i know, i hate ending that sentence with a verb too)...Men and women alike were cross-dressed, people were half-naked, sex was the root of EVERY joke, and everybody looked sweaty! With that description alone, you should know how I felt about it already! It felt like someone threw me into Babylon to see how I would react. Still, I can't say I hated it. The RHPS in-theatre experience is in a class of its own. I appreciated its uniqueness, but perhaps my naivete did not allow me to completely understand what was exactly going on. (i know, i ended that one with a preposition) The only true gripe I have is the jokes towards Afrikan-Americans and Jews, I DID NOT APPRECIATE THAT AT ALL...AND IN NO WAY SHOULD THAT BE TOLERATED AT SUCH A FAMOUS AND WELL-KNOWN SHOW!

All in all, let's just say I won't be back to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I'm glad I experienced it, but I won't be back.
