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 ...

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. |

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

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

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?

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
