Life, the Universe, and Everything

I know the answer to that is 42. I study English, I have read my fair share of books. :P

I don't just read, I also write. Not just blogs, but mostly fan fiction, poems, and every once in a while I'll try my hand at a script. I'm a head of the Creative Writing Workshop at our department and enjoying teaching people something about creative writing very much.

Why I decided to write about this today, you ask? I'm currently trying to adapt The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I saw it last weekend while I was combing the dreadlocks out of a friend of mine's hair (who also happens to be a head of CWW) and I fell in love. Should've watched it ages ago, which I knew already, but meh. I'm way behind with most things anyway.

Anyway, my department also has their own drama club, called the Understudies. The friend I mentioned last paragraph has been asking me to join, I told him I'd audition if they were to perform that (I'd love to play Columbia, would like Janet if I could actually sing and act), got shot down by the current assistant director because we'd only have one set to work with, and I took it as the challenge it was and will rewrite Rocky Horror now.

Let's see how that works out.

For the rest, I've still got so many stories I should finish that I'll be busy over the summer working on both academic works (besides thesis and Digital Art and Culture, I want to try and write at least one article to see if I could possibly publish something someday) and fictional works (I swear I will never write porn about two friends of mine again... until the next time I've got inspiration :P ).

I swear I was going to write something inspiring today. Ah well. I'll go back to rewriting Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Oh, at the late night, double-feature, picture show...
