  • 50 Years Rocky

    50 Years Rocky

    By Andrea Menzies

    This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Rocky Horror Picture Show being played on Halloween. Fun fact, when I lived in New Orleans I was both Columbia and Magenta in two different productions of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at Loyola University New Orleans and the Prytania theater near campus. They wanted me to do more shows, but I was a university student with oceans of homework so I lacked the free time for that activity. I will always love how many fun friends I met doing a fun and campy Halloween show with many school friends. Fortunately there are a few places near my mom’s house in Virginia showing the Rocky Horror, and so I can still go there a bit. My review is it is a great show at any venue.

    My daughter and I painted Halloween pumpkins this week. I was teaching at schools doing pumpkin crafts, and it reminded me it was time to do our own. My pumpkin has the pointy eyes on the right. We like to use paint and markers as it takes longer to spoil.

    Left Alexandria’s pumpkin, right my pumpkin.

  • Dance Fun

    By Andrea Menzies

    Halloween is great for dancing parties for people of all ages. I am dusting off my dance trophies I won from dance school competitions when I was a teenager in anticipation of fun Halloween dancing.

    Dancing helped me escape stress enough to graduate high school on the honors program, and to graduate University. I am happy a dancing part of the year has hit again.

  • Thanks For Wishes

    By Andrea Menzies

    Thank you Internet friends for wishing me a happy birthday. It is bittersweet in that I don’t get to see all the long distance friends I miss so much very often. I am happy to see them wish me a happy birthday, but unhappy that it reminds me I can’t visit them more frequently. It does remind me that I used to be far more socially active, and that I will go to nearby towns to make many new friends soon for events this month. I am a single woman that very much hates having no man to date. Halloween is a great time to meet people at events in towns not in Virginia at all.

    • Note by far my favorite birthday gift was the Garmin 935 fitness watch and fitness band. Oh so inspirational for biking fun.

  • My Birthday

    Today is my birthday, and my watch became a cake picture! Thanks in advance for the birthday well wishes!

  • Travel Away

    By Andrea Menzies

    It is still my vow to never go out in Virginia night life again. I still love music, but Virginia is a nightmare of con artist scum. One night I went out and a guy screamed “hold this” and the guy put a beer in my hand I was not drinking, and a cigarette in my hand I was not smoking, and snapped a photo. Then he threatened to put the photos all over the Internet if I did not pay him as a bribe. I had no money to give him. It happened dozens of times more before I started slapping men. Men have tried to roofie my water one million times. This NEVER happened in Texas or Louisiana! Virginia has garbage for night life! Road trips away from Virginia are all I will pursue for music, fun, or dating. All people in areas not around Virginia know you are the people I want to socialize with and NEVER Virginia people. It is my birthday this week, and it makes me long to go out and be social, but a road trip far away from Virginia is the only option.

  • Almost Birthday

    Almost Birthday

    By Andrea Menzies

    The temporary work I got with Kelly Staffing was over faster than I thought, and now I am back to teaching again. I forgot one of the reasons I quit pursuing temp work employment is they often promise far more employment time and money than they can deliver to employees. It is almost my birthday, and having free time to plan a good party with balloons turns out to be the most valuable use of my time. I did make some extra money from the job, and now I can go to extra Halloween activities far from the horrible place that is called Virginia. It is my every dream and goal to move far away from the Virginia area.
