The Rocky Con was awesome. Pictures and videos are forthcoming.
Patricia Quinn (Magenta) and Nell Campbell (Columbia) were both there.
I got my freakin' purse signed by both of them (its made out of an original RHPS record and its jacket).
SWEET. <3
And yay! the heat works in our house :D We noticed it was 68* so we decided to put it on...

Well, the moderator bitch that deleted my post sent me a message over LJ and was, again, very rude and snarky. I still can't believe she deleted my post because she didn't like the fact that I called the customer in question entertaining! I mean, she was with all the weird things she said to me! But whatever. I've sent her a message being an asshole right back at her giving her a dose of her own medicine, and have since banned the bitch from sending me messages or commenting in my journal.
In a community like that, moderators should not be imposing their own views on other people, and deleting their member's posts simply for the fact that they don't mesh with their own opinions on the subject at hand.
DIAF you mod, you. :D
Edited to add: I got another message from another moderator. Yeah, right. More than likely its the same person just on a different journal name. How silly and childish. Plus, they called me trash. They obviously haven't seen me play Frank-N-Furter!

So, Rocky Horror went great last night. The only thing I get messed up on is floorshow, but that really is everyone. I think it will take a while to get used to everyone and get a good floorshow going, but the rest of Rocky always goes awesome. I have almost a complete Frank jacket but I need to actually pin or do something else to attach my patches to it - right now I just have them pinned on and I have to be careful when wearing it, around other people XD
I so love playing Frank-N-Furter!
The house is also coming along OK. We don't really have the furniture to fill it up, and I think me and Zero are still stuck in a 450 square foot of space mindset. We're still messing it up in the living and dining room, while totally not using the kitchen or second bedroom, or basement for that matter.
It rained pretty hard here a few days ago, and there was some crap stuck in our gutter which caused a large pouring of water on one corner of the house; subsequently, a bit of water leaked into our basement. We had to go out in the rain and get the gutter clear of crap, which didn't take very long. I'm worried about a crack in the basement; luckily we're going to be calling about our home warranty for our AC unit (fan is constantly on, even when the ac itself isn't on) so we'll ask them about where the water came in as well. It never leaked when it rained before anywhere in the basement and we aren't in a flood area either. In any case it wasn't much, and we have a drain down there too so its all good.
So, I had posted an entry to the community Customers_Suck about the weird lady I had on the train who was schizophrenic and all the weird things she said. ... And my post got deleted because the moderator said I was making fun of schizophrenic people. What the fuck? I get a lady on the train who refused to take her medication (which obviously would have kept her sane) and I wrote about the silly things she said to me - and this is deemed off topic and deletable? Please.
I was wondering why, with so many members now, the community doesn't seem to get as many posts. Customers_Suck was supposed to be a place to rant about the stupid, silly, odd, whatever, customers we all get at work, just like Bad_Service is supposed to be a place to complain about the opposite end of the counter. I have seen so many posts over the years that SHOULD have been deleted; I was appalled at the rudeness of the moderator her/itself. Snarky bint moderator posted a snide comment, then deleted my post, presumably so others couldn't read her bitching me out.
I thought thats what the "customers suck snark" community was for; to bitch about the people who posted stuff to C_S, if others thought they were in the wrong or whatever. *shrugs*
Fuck that community. Obviously they are curtailing free speech there now, and I don't want to be a part of it if that is the case. I'm leaving the community as soon as this post is up. It is quite a shame, because it used to be an awesome community. I've been a member of C_S for a few years now, and have made a few friends from it.

Well it seems that I am still in apartment-mode; I still seem to mess up my house (same thing with Zero!) because I try to do everything in one particular area, while other spaces remain entirely unused. I think that I'm going to move my craft stuff downstairs and actually create a crafting area. Because when I put my mind to it, I can be very creative - and a destructive force when it comes to making a mess.
I'm thinking of either finishing off the area as an actual room (since the basement is full but unfinished) or just decorating it as is. The problem is the area I want to convert has no heating/ac vent (although there are like six in the rest of the basement). I'm thinking of lining one of the walls (or two, or three...) with bookshelves and having all my books down there. Its a dry basement and we aren't in a flood zone, so I'm pretty comfortable with the idea. I'd really like to convert our second bedroom into a library of sorts, but I don't think Zero is too keen on the idea. Silly people who don't like to read! I was even thinking of decorating it Steampunk style too...
Speaking of Steampunk - I am totally gaga over the style! Me and Zero have both decided that will be the theme to our wedding, when we do get married. No white bloody wedding dress for me, no no no. I'm probably going to end up designing it and making it myself, or commissioning it through Etsy's alchemy section. I've had great luck so far with getting clothing pieces made for me through that. www.etsy.com for all those who have not seen it before. Its an awesome website!
We've also go to become more organized people in general, because I'm getting my two cats, Maestro and Rozz, back from my mom. She was going to keep them pretty much forever, but then the silly woman is getting rid of her apartment/condo thingy...To live with my dad?!? They are not together or anything - she and my sister Charlie are simply going to live in my dad's house because mom is stupid with money. I can already see this situation being a bit awkward, if not downright weird...But whatever. I can't worry about it.
So anyways yes, I get my cats! I just don't know how they are going to react to Zero's cats. Only time will tell.
Other than that the only new news is that I'm getting a different run on the trains. I'll be going to Carbondale, IL and Port Huron, MI. Not the greatest of runs, however, I'll get Sundays and Mondays off. It will be sort of like having a "regular" job, since I'll be working the same days and having the same days off. If I DON'T end up liking it, national bids come up on October so I'd only have to work it for two months or so. The reason I'm doing this is for Rocky Horror -- so I can be there every Saturday night. I'll come home from the last trip on Saturday around 1pm or so, so I can take a nap after getting home from work if I'm uber-tired and BAM! Rocky! Yay!
I'm still playing Frank at Rocky - and oddly enough we have FOUR Franks now! We just got a new guy (who is straight too - amazing!) who wants to be Frank. Since I can be at Rocky now every Saturday, I may start to play Magenta or Janet. I'd prefer Janet, but they need both :x And everyone keeps pushing me to be Magenta, they think I'd be great. I think its the hair, since its longer and red now XD

So, last night I performed at The Art theater in Hobart, IN as Frank for the Rocky Horror Picture Show! It was exciting, although we only had 170 people in the audience - the week before last we had around 250 and our first week we maxed out around 500 people (and had to turn some away).
I'm concerned guys and gals. Without a decent sized audience, there won't be a Rocky Horror showing every Saturday night at The Art. The owner, who doesn't even really care for Rocky all that much, is really only in it for the extra money. If you like Rocky, please try to come to our show! Bring a friend, bring an enemy, or even your mom - after all, we are known as Help Me Mommy!
Other than that, our house is still awesome although we haven't unpacked fully yet. Me and Zero are still kinda stuck in the mind-set of apartment living. And by that I mean we aren't doing much other than playing on our computers or are just hanging around in one section of the house.
However we have been having all non-theater related get-togethers at our house for Rocky. Mainly just the weekly meetings before we actually got into the theater and also for survival kit making parties. Its fun having at least something to do on the weekends I'm not at work. I have friends again whoo!
