Jakey Horror Picture Show

Tonight, for the first time since my junior year, I attended a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

This is momentous for a few reasons.

1). It's the first time since I lived in Iowa that I've hung out with people from work (after meeting them at work). I'm weird about hanging out with people from work for some reason. But it's also the first time I've not hated work. I'm really happy working there, and working there has totally fixed my budget for living. That aside, I like my coworkers enough to want to hang out with them.

2). The Rocky Horror Picture Show is full of really vulgar, disgusting, gross people, and it reminded me how nice and fun that crowd was, and why I've been missing that a lot.
Then again, that reason was also a scary look ahead. There were so many high schoolers. I felt the aesthetic distance between me and them for the first time in while, since I wanted to hang around them. It made me feel really creepy. But they were the only ones having a blast and getting up to dance and being gross. I got to be vulgar and gross and accepted once again. Farting into a microphone = Jake's happy release.
Also the NY RHPS cast was amazing. It was the first time I heard someone quote every scripted fan line, and the cast acted out just fun funny scenes.

3). It's the mutha forking Rocky Horror Picture Show! It was fun. I danced and sang. Kissed a cute blonde North Carolinian. It was nice to be around this very neutral sexual crowd, too. Where it was totally horny but in this sorta fun no harm clothed way. People grinding and lap dancing and kissing and laughing. So much fun. I forgot how much fun it is.

4). If there's one thing in particular the Rocky Horror Picture Show crowd is all about, is just letting go of the things that hold you back. Just talking to people, listening to them, laughing with them, it was just a refreshing reminder of the fact that you can't hold on to your bad feelings, or they'll stop you from doing the things you like. It was nice to see it in NYC, too. With so much bitterness abundant in the city, sometimes it's easy to get caught up in bad feelings and hibitions. Tonight I was able to let it all go.

I like the fact that I can get through bitterness instead of it weighing me down. Sometimes lapdances from transexual men can help.

Also, I think that the lead singer of Taking Back Sunday is gay.
