I didn't think there were any other kind ... especially in Seattle. Must have something to do with the rain, blackberry brambles, and slugs.

No, I mean, I'm a liberal, leftie, whatever. I take pride, however, in saying that I actually pay attention to both sides of it.

I mean, CNN has a show called "Broken Government", and Fox News has "Fox Faith". I don't think anyone remotely informed should deny the news biases. I try and watch both Bill O' Reilly and Bill Maher.

Seattle isn't all rain... well, it wasn't. Fall hit, so it's basically nothing but sleet now.

Just guessing, you're probably young(ish). In a few years you'll be looking at the definition of "moderate" and think that maybe that's more you ... and then from there it's just a little jump to the right ...

Aliantha 11-05-2006 10:50 PM

and a step to the left

Novae 11-05-2006 10:57 PM

Isn't it a jump to the left? :)

Yeah, you're right. I'm seventeen, and my psychology teacher says the same thing. He's a moderate, with right-wing leanings.

Honestly, I think I'm a moderate. I'm for gay rights (including marriage), the death penalty, and the right to abortion. I think it's better to go by issue than by label, as cliche as that sounds.

I just get angry when all these people, my age, just throw out "I HATE BUSH" or "I LOVE BUSH", when they don't know what the hell is going on. People should be informed, and openminded. Those are my criteria.

put your hands on your hips!

Novae 11-05-2006 11:10 PM

And bring your knees in tight! :)

Sounds like the Republicans. Oh ho, a zinger!

I joke :)

thinks: how awesome, that the Rocky Horror tradition made it down under!

Aliantha 11-05-2006 11:14 PM

Rocky Horror is a major part of Australian life. We're a bunch of cross dressing weirdos down here. Didn't you know?

Undertoad 11-05-2006 11:17 PM

Rock on Aussies! I'm just happy that the joy of RHPS and the Time Warp spreads. It is a kind of glorious thing.

Novae 11-05-2006 11:17 PM

It's kind of an unescapable joy :)

Aliantha 11-05-2006 11:20 PM

The first time I watched it on telly was the first time I ever saw Susan Sarandon. I've been hooked on her ever since. I loved her in Bull Durham. Anyone ever seen that?

Ohh the stage show did it for me!!!

I lurrrrrrve the TRHS, men in fishies, heels and bustiers...what could be better?

Our engineering board organized a production of RHPS this halloween, we had 17 cast members acting out the scenes as the movie played in the background. The girls provided their own lingerie, but the guys decided to have some fun and went to a Victoria's Secret nearby as a group to shop. I wish I had been there to see the attendent's face when the 8 guys walked in and said they all needed matching black corsets:D

Novae 11-06-2006 11:03 PM

Oh God, that's wonderful. :D
