Don't Dream It, Be It

Although borrowed from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", these are words for me to live by. Someone asked me, "Aren't you a little old to have such big dreams?" to which I replied, "Am I too old to be alive?"

My Date for the Rocky Horror Picture Show

I had the best time on Saturday, out on a date with--Guess who--ME!

Saturday morning I had to go on a field trip for my Natural Sciences cluster. We went to the Weldon Spring Site. The site is an area that once covered four small towns, including Toonerville and Hamburg, Missouri. The towns were bought out and a WWI TNT and DNT manufacturing site was built. Then, a Uranium plant took its place when the war was over. One day in the 1960s, the Uranium plant was abandoned. For thirty years, the site stood empty, potentially contaminating the ground water source of St. Charles, MO.

A huge cell was built to store millions of tons of hazardous and radioactive wastes. The area around the cell was restored, natural prairie grasses planted, and a museum dedicated to helping visitors understand what once stood in that location, was built.

That night, I went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show by myself. I had a great time. The show sold out all four-hundred and fifty seats at the Tivoli theater. I sat by myself near the back, but the folks who ended up sitting by me were cool. I never found Jenn, but I learned later that she got auctioned off. I had no idea she was a virgin! The virgins out numbered the non-virgins, by the way. It is so cool that a thirty-year-old movie can still sell out every Friday and Saturday night. I cannot think of a more fun movie to see. The virgins' reactions like, "That was weird," and "I've never seen anything like that before!" are always great to hear. I know when I saw the movie for the first time last year, I thought to myself, "This is the greatest thing I've ever seen!"

There is something just spectacular about a fifty-foot Tim Curry!
