hello?

Is there anybody out there? Where has everyone gone? Either, like me, you are leading fairly quiet and/or busy lives, or you're all off doing far more exciting things than rambling on LJ...

I prefer to think it is the latter and everyone is out having great adventures. Tell me about them!

ooh art! Yay! I am ... doing odd bits of work. And lots of blank staring.

Also, thanks to Thipe, I have Rocky Horror songs stuck in my head.

*flounces around and pushes switches randomly*

It was great when it all begaaaaaaa-an
I was a regular Frankie faaaaaaa-an
But it was over when he had the plaaaaa-an
To start a-working on a muscle maaaa-an
Now the only thing that gives me hope
Is my love of a certain dope
Rose tint my world, keeps me safe from my trouble and pain


My favourite Rocky-related memory is being sat on Sleeter's sofa, singing Toucha-toucha-toucha-touch me, I wanna be dirty with him, with [livejournal.com profile] vashti laughing away.

My second favourite memory is at GenCon UK 199-erm-7? Late night Rocky Horror screening, with audience participation. I knew a variety of callback scripts, but had never come across this particular one. A rather rotund man, black haired and beardy, was up on the stage in front of the film as Frank N Furter dives into the pool, only to come up in a lifebelt. It's quite a quiet bit - no real dialogue. He bellows: "Waiter! There's a fag in my soup!"

Ah, good times.

I have many good Rocky Horror memories, mostly related to dancing round the living room with feather boas at odd hours of the morning, knocking over wine glasses and... anything else not nailed down ;p

In fact come to think of it YOU started it this time with your clowns and tim curry posting!

I swear that Tim Curry in RHPS has the best pair of legs I've ever seen on a man or woman. Seriously.

I really must watch it again soon ;)

I really must watch it, period. My cultural education has to date not included this fine piece :(

Yay Heyer, I finished Devil's Cub last night, now just have to pick what to read next! Maybe I will tidy up in an attempt to find Cotillion again...

Ooh I saw that... last week I think. Such a nifty idea! And i love that they went out of their way to make it beautiful as well as functional.
