Foster Parent

A few weeks ago, my mom started fostering two hound puppies. Her goddaughter works for a pound and there is no room for the dogs so she asked my mom to foster them until the pound can find permanent owners. At first I was so excited because who doesn't love a puppy. I also thought that they would be adopted within two weeks.

The puppies have been with us for a month now and I have grown very attached. I am extremely torn because I want to keep one for myself so bad. What is worse is the dogs and now attached to my family and I don't know how they would do if they actually were adopted. Luckily my dad has started to become attached as well, so hopefully this means we will be able to keep them.

Rocky Horror Picture Show

My second out of class assignment was a live performance of Rocky Horror. I had never seen the movie so I did not know what to expect, but my friend made me wear a fluffy boas so I would fit in. The show plays once a month at the Movieland in Richmond at midnight. So we went in and found out that it was not only a movie but there was a shadow cast. This means the movie is playing while a cast is in the front row mimicking and imitating everything that happens on screen.

To my surprise, Rocky Horror Picture Show is a musical that has crossdressers and other crazy stuff. Some of the actors I knew like Tim Curry. But the show was very funny and raunchy. The show had partial nudity I would say. They would also involve the audience and sit on your lap. I was brought to the stage and spanked with a paddle because I had never seen the movie. I recommend this show if you want to have a great time and laugh your butt off, but don't be afraid to be touched, spanked, whipped and squirted with a water filled dildo.

Haunted House

For one of my out class assignments, I decided to go to a haunted house. My parents know these people that own a house that has been in their family since 1803 and they were doing ghost tours. The house we went to was off of 460 in Dinwiddie. So we went to this house and learned some of the old customs that would be performed when somebody died.

When we started the tour we went to a room and we were shown pictures of an outdoor wedding, and in the photo you see a ghost on the wall. Come to find out, the woman's picture is on the other side of the wall once your in the house. So she was basically standing where her picture was on the opposite side. Our tour guide then told us to be quiet and then asked if the woman was there with us that night. We did not hear anything, but one of the candles started to flicker. The room did not have electrical lights so candles were all over the room, but one candle in particular began to dance in a way. I can not even describe how the candle began to move, its like the fire was shimmering or convulsing. Of course while this is happening all the other candles are being normal. After that we saw some other rooms and learned some history. We even got to go outside and visit the families graveyard. All in all it was a pretty interesting night.

The Glass Menagerie

I just finished the reading the play and I really didn't like it. I thought it would have had more of a story to it. I felt the ending was very anticlimactic. The play was so short that I was left with numerous unanswered questions.

The mother was extremely mean and made me very angry. The sister was also very annoying and whined all the time. I can understand why Tom hated living at home. He was the only likeable character that actually made it bearable to read the play.

I wish the author would have given more details about what happened to the dad. I also wanted to know what happened to the characters at the end. I assume that Laura never married and the mother continued to stay crazy. I am hoping Tom was able to become successful. Then again this is a fictional story so I don't know why I am worried about what happened to the characters. But the story was so awful I am thinking of endings that will make it a little better.
