I remembered the time I asked my middle school English teacher what the word "igneous" means and she didn't know. Instead of telling me to look in the dictionary, she said, "Let's learn the word together." And got her personal dictionary from her desk and we looked up the word together. She even highlighted it in her dictionary "so she'd remember it". This was during a study hall, so she had things of her own to be working on, but she took a few minutes to indulge my question. It was a really nice moment of actual teaching in a school district that was awful in regards to educating students.

I feel like sharing little moments like that with other people is important. Idk why. Maybe it's to spread a little happiness or something, but I love sharing little tidbits I remember with people.

I remembered freshman year of college, I think on Halloween, there was a showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show. I knew people were into it but I had no idea what it was about. Soooo I ate a street-bought edible and went to it by myself. I had no clue how the audience was all reacting and shouting the same shit at the screen and trying to reason with my high brain like...are they all reading a script? What is happening?? Got myself good that day. ๐Ÿ˜‚

That's amazing.

I've lost touch with the friends who first invited me to watch RHMPS, but they are forever dear to my heart.

I was part of the crew for the first production of RHPS at my university last year. We are in an extremely conservative area, and knew many people wouldn't know the callbacks. So we included a few in the programs we handed out, but we also had helpers (Frank's "Only Fans") that would wave/flip posterboards of callbacks as needed. By the end of each show the audience was shouting so loud our actors couldn't hear their cues xD

Have you gone to see it again since your first show?

I don't think I have, I think I've only seen it since in renditions of it in movies like Perks of Being a Wallflower. It's kinda crazy that this is still part of the culture ha. Show then movie comes out in the 70s, I see it a couple decades later high as a kite when watching it has been turned into a production itself and a couple decades after that it's still a thing!
