Dear Nurse Ansalong: How do I let someone know that I'm interested in them? My parents have forbidden me to talk to a friend of mine that I met at Rocky just because he is 7 years older than me and he goes to Rocky. Is there anything I can do to keep in contact with him? He has become a good friend of mine and I don't want to loose him. I've been best friends with this guy for a long time. Recently, I've started hanging out with a girl, Jenn. The problem is that they hate each other and Mike says that Jenn's a really bad influence on me. I don't want to lose either of them and I don't know who to believe. What should I do??? I was wondering if you could give me some vital info on getting friends or sane persons together to start a Shock Treatment cast in my area. How do I recruit??? We would like to do something positive to urge 20th Century Fox to make Revenge of the Old Queen. How can we convince Fox that this project has enough interest in it to be successful? I really like this guy and I think he likes me. The only problem is that he has a girlfriend who happens to be a friend of mine. How should I deal with my feelings and his? Every time I get interested in or start to like something, my mother rejects it and says it's no good. I always try to respect her interests (even when they don't interest me as well), but she never returns the favor. What should I do? I have a question about a specific girl I met at Rocky. At first, she acted very interested in me, but then said we had to stop because it was going too fast. On top of this, I have found out from her friends that she tends to get into bad relationships a lot and tends to dump the guys who have any chance of being good to her. I would like to get back with her. What should I do? Should I just forget about it??? I'm 14 and have been dating this guy for a really long time. Recently we have started having sex. Anyway, my question to you is: how do I go about asking mom if she'll take me to get on the Pill? She says it makes her feel like taking me to get on the Pill is giving me permission to have sex! I'm going to have sex with or without her permission--I just don't want to have a child in the meantime! Can you help? I have been going out with this girl for about two weeks. I like her a lot, and she likes me. I think about her day and night. Every time I go to kiss her, or put my arm around her, it seems like she moves away. What am I doing wrong? What can I do? My Mom recently told me I cannot see my best friend anymore because she found out I um.. did somthing with a guy in her closet. It was not her fault and My mom won't listen to me. How do I bulid trust with her on this? I'm in a very heavy relationship with a girl, but when we are having sex, she hurts me. I don't want to hurt her feelings as she is extremly sensitive and unsure of herself. What can I do? What do I do if I left a cast for the wrong reasons? How can I make it clear to the people in the cast that I will always be around for them without really being there? A few weeks ago, I was downtown with 2 of my friends. One of them, a guy, asked me to go with him to his house for a little while, so I did. We were in his room fooling around, nothing serious, just kissing & stuff. I have grown to really love this guy. Anyway, in the car on the way home, I found out he has a girlfriend. I felt bad for doing this with him if he had a girlfriend, but I really love him now and I think he has feelings for me too. My friends tell me, if he does this to another girl, how do I know he won't do it to me. But when he and his girlfriend break up, I want to go for him because I love him so much. What do i do? I am 14 years old and I have been into Rocky Horror for about a year. I am so obsessed with it and all of my friends think its totally weird! Since seeing the show in the theatre, I have found transvestites to be very attractive. Does that mean I am bisexual??? Please try to help me, I am very confused! My friend, we'll call her "Ann", has been friends with my other friend "John" for quite awhile. We are all close to each other. But lately, her feelings for "John" have become romantic, and she has now fallen for him hard. She has had a lot of bad relationships, and "John" would probably treat her right. Unfortunately, "John" sees her as only a good friend and nothing more. I also fear that "Ann" is suicidal, because she said, if she got "John", "life would be worth living". What should I do? I've heard that there is a RHPS game. I think it's a sort of computer game or something like that. Ever heard of it? If so, what is the price and is there any way I can order it? I love Rocky and I hate it when my homophobic little brother goes on about what a freak I am because I like going to it. He's always down on my friends (most of whom also like Rocky) and especially can't stand the fact that one of my best friends is bisexual. Is there anyway I can open his mind up or at least shut his mouth? How can you stay with a girlfriend when her mother, sister, and friends hate you? Some of the Rocky Horror Show's songs were sung differently in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. In the new Rocky Horror Show, are the songs sung how they were in the original play, or how they were in the movie? I used to like acting in my former cast. Anyway, things went downhill and I no longer find it enjoyable to go to the shows unless my friend Jim is there. At least then we can make fun of each other. The cast from what I've heard is out of control. Have I lost that Lovin' Rocky feeling? I heard Tim Curry is making a new TV show called "Over the Top" or something like that. Anyway, what station is airing it and what days/times? (I'm in the Pacific Time Zone) I'm a teenage virgin, sexually. I want to lose this "innocent" tag. I feel like damn Janet Weiss in RHPS. Got any advice? Recently, my mother told me and my friends that we should dress up as characters from RHPS for Halloween. So I told all my friends and we all made our costumes. The problem is, my friend's parents are furious at my Mom now and won't let them dress up. See, we're 13 and 12 and they say we shouldn't even be watching RHPS. So should we sneak out anyway, or is there a way we can convince our parents to let us go? For some reason, my best friend's mother hates me. I don't know why. I never did anything to her. I love my friend a lot. She's my best friend, after all! But it's hard to feel okay hanging out with her because I know her Mom's always telling her she doesn't want her to see me. I've tried talking to the woman, but it doesn't work. How can I convince her that I'm not a bad influence on her daughter and I only want her to do well and grow as a person (I've been in therapy to long...). What do I do? I have really strong feelings for a person, yet I am too afraid to say anything even remotely involving those feelings because I fear rejection. One of his best friends encouraged me to just say something but I am too scared. Any advice? What is the number tattooed on Frank's leg in RHPS? I've heard of a movie called Revenge Of The Old Queen. Is it a sequal to Rocky? What in the hell does "Looking for Trade" (both the song and the title) mean? Under "Past Questions Of The Month", there is the one about which Little Nell hairstyle is best. Where is the picture of her with long hair from? Also, what other movies was she in? The only one I can dig up is Rocky. There is this girl that I really like. The problem is, she has been going out with one of my best friends for over a year, and it does not look like they will break up anytime soon. Don't get me wrong... I'm happy that my friend has someone, but what do I do with these feelings? A few posts back you gave a link to the "Revenge of the Old Queen" script, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there any other way I can get to it? What's with this DARK CITY movie that's comming out? What's the story line? Is O'Brien going to appear in it? Whats the scoop? I have been with my best friend for 3 years. Just recently, she has gone though a lot. She says she can't "read me" anymore, and is thinking if she still wants to be my friend. She said this a month ago, and has been avioding me since. I love her a lot and would not want her to break the friendship. I'm really scared of losing her friendship. What do I do? I just recently found out about ROCKY and now I'm obsessed. I have had two of my friends come to watch it with me. One of them loved it and the other one hated it. The one who hated it, who happens to be my best friend, has bad-mouthed the movie and everything else to all my other friends and no one else will give it a chance. I want to stay friends with all of them and everything, but I don't know how to make them more open-minded or at least shut my best friend up! I am 15 and I have a girlfriend. I am female. Well, we are MADLY in love and I am engaged to this woman, whom I love and she loves me. Oh it's great... TRUE LOVE! But, my Dad recently found out and I come from a family where I get constantly put down and never shown any love. So now I am forbidden to do anything with any of my friends because they think I'll be with her!!! This relationship was starting to improve my low esteem and now I'm unloved again. What do I do? HELP!! I would very much like 20th Century Fox to make the sequel of ROCKY, "REVENGE OF THE OLD QUEEN", and so would many of my friends. We have all written letters and signed a number of petitions, but we have a problem. What's the address of 20th Century Fox? I think I might be anorexic. How can I tell? All I know is, even though I keep losing weight, I still see myself as fat and I eat rarely. I don't really know what to do! Help? I had an affair with a married man that, like myself, is involved with a cast. I'm in the cast-he's on the lighting/security crew. A short time ago his wife found out and we didn't talk for a while. Now we are speaking again & they MAY be getting a divorce. I want him back, but how can I get him? I love this man with all my heart. Ok, um, I'm like, really obsessed with Little Nell. Mostly as Nurse Ansalong. I'm a 13 year old girl. Everyday I bring in pictures I printed, and everyone thinks it's really weird. I'm not obsessed like I want to be "with" her. I'm obsessed like I want to "be" her. I doubt this is normal. My parents think I'm really weird, my friends think I'm really weird, and don't even talk to me about my teachers. I don't know what to do. A lot of people think I'm doing this for attention, but I'm not. I really, truly, seriously think about RHPS, Little Nell, and ST all the time. If you have any advice for what to do, please help me!! My best friend and her boyfriend broke up about 2 months ago. I have had a crush on him for about 8 months, and now I am falling in love with him. I don't know what to do. My best friend and this guy were in love. I mean they lost their virginity to each other. But my best friend likes this other guy, and I'm talking to her ex almost every night. We are getting real close. The problem is I don't know how my friend will react. I dont want to lose her friendship, but I really really am falling hard for this guy. What do I do? I know this is the oldest kind of letter, but I like this girl. Well, I think she likes me. We really are friendly, in private, but in public she pretends not to know me. We do a lot of the same things, go to the same school, and I've been to her house. Everything! Well, just about. I really like her. But I don't think she likes me. She has a boyfriend, and I know she has her heart set on another guy aside from me. What should I do? I have loved RHPS and SHOCK TREATMENT since the 6th grade, and I'm currently in 12th. Problem is, in my area, they only show RHPS once a year, and its not even a theatrical print! Plus when I went to that "showing", the majority of the people there were just there to throw things and be rude. What can I do until I go off to a (hopefully) out of state college? I'm a young teenager and am totally absolutly obsessed with ROCKY HORROR and everything to do with it. i have no idea why as I've never taken to liking something as much as this. Is RHPS kinda something to let my emotions and feelings be released and let me be the real "me" instead of me pretending to be someone else, like a different personality? I have looked everywhere for a copy of the movie SHOCK TREATMENT or the music and can't find it anywhere. Is it really impossible to find or is it just really expensive? My boyfriend and I have been going out three weeks now, and I'm not into PDA's (Public Displays of Affection) and he is. I would like to know what to do because I don't like showing so much affection in public. Holding hands is okay, but that as far as it goes. I have a problem. I'm scared to talk to people. What can I do? Also, there is this girl that I like, and she found out that I like her. We have been good friends since 1st grade. Since she found out I liked her, she keeps smiling at me. What can I do about it? I have a big problem. I am 15 and I am a gay transvestite. When I was little, I used to put on nail polish, but, when I saw RHPS, I started wanting to be Magenta. So I bought a maid costume. Then it was Columbia in her pajamas (I got the same pair for Christmas). I am attracted to Bert Schnick and Columbia at the Floor Show. What should I do and where can I get an outfit like they wear in the floorshow? I am dating a lady who is older than me and I love her and everything, but there is another girl who is a couple of years younger than I am who I am in love with too. I don't want to hurt the lady I am seeing right now, but I don't know if I can be without the other girl. The younger one is a ROCKY fan just like myself, but the older lady puts on a front that she likes it for me too. What should I do? I am 11 years old and would like to start a cast with a couple of my friends at school. Should I? Also, should I use SHOCK TREATMENT or ROCKY HORROR? I like this guy. I asked him out. He said he would when he isn't with the girl he is with now. I can't wait. I really miss some of the people I knew when I went regularly to ROCKY. I never knew their #'s, last names, or addresses, and I had to move to a new town and havn't seen them since. Now I'm back in my old town, but the theatre stopped showing ROCKY. The only person I know who knows them is someone I can't stand who already made up lies to keep me from finding them (he's a posessive jerk). I'll do anything to find these old friends, but I'm not sure how. I've gone to a couple of shows in other towns, but I didn't see them there. They were kind of like a family to me and I miss them like hell. They were so nice and cool to me. Rocky isn't the same without them. What can I do? I like this boy and he's my sometimes friend. I want to ask him out. Nothing is stopping me but my own nerves! How can I get over this and just ask him? I am 12 years old and possibly the only 12 year old in all RHPS history to have the complete RHPS script (with audience participation) in the back of her binder. I would like to rent a copy of Rocky Horror and show it at my sleep-over with all my friends calling out the AP lines. But is copying the script illegal? HELP! :"D My best friend dumped me over reasons, she says, I wouldn't understand. I'm 15 and she's 18. I've never met anyone as nice as her and I love her deeply, but she just wants me out of her life. Should I keep trying to befriend her again? Or should I just leave this whole dispute in the past? I really like this kid, and I know you're going to tell me to be myself, but it doesn't seem to be working. I REALLY like this kid, but I don't want to be a phony. And to make it worse, I'm really shy. How do I get him to like me without me being phony?? I have a hard time getting people to think of me in a sexual way. No one finds me sexy and I am so afraid of rejection, I always assume that the person I like doesn't feel the same way.Help! What do you do when your relative you live with doesn't like RHPS at all? She says transvestites are evil. If she doesn't understand something, she fears it! Can you help??? I am trying to make an RHPS web-site, but I don't know exactly how to start. All I've done is a main page that lists three links, two of which are ROCKY HORROR and one of them is Cosmos. I want features like trivia and pictures but don't know how. Please help! What exactly is Frank implying when he says,"Or should I say, Dr. Von Scott!?"? The Sunday after Halloween is my birthday. I'll be 14. The Saturday after that, four friends, my Dad, a friend's Mom, and I are going to go see ROCKY HORROR in the theatre. I'M SCARED!!! First of all, I want to go as Frank. From your experience, how many people actually dress up? Second, what props are needed? Third, is it necessary to participate in the virgin sacrifices? Help me pleeeeeease!!!!! Some of my friends think I'm crazy, but I'm a REALLY big fan of Little Nell. I've driven or called everywhere trying to find copies of her movies and music. And, to top it off, I've had a big crush on her ever since I heard "See You 'Round Like A Record". What should I do? I recently met this girl. I am 16 she is 13. This girl had been sexually active with about 6 guys in the past 2 years. She has come onto me heavily and the only thing holding me back is the risk of disease. Tell me if I should leave her alone or just wear protection and see where it goes from there? How do I get people to stop making fun of my ROCKY costumes? I want to tell you that we are, in fact, back together (if that's what you want to call it). I realize that he's still with his wife, but things are tough right now for both of us, so it's kind of understandable. I love him and I'm greedy. I WANT HIM TO MYSELF!! How should I go about explaining this to him without making him feel pressured? I'm dating this guy... We'll call him "George". He just happens to be married. He wants to leave his wife for me. He's already told me that he loves me, but I have yet to feel the exact same way for him. It's like we've only known each other for 2 months, but, like he said, it seems like fate between us only because we both agree that we feel like we've loved each other in another life. Everything we do together is perfect! But how do I know if he's playing head games with me or not? Please help! I really care about this man!!! Hi! I'm a ROCKY HORROR virgin and I REALLY want to see ROCKY. The closest city that plays it is about two hours away. I'm only thirteen so I can't drive. But for my 14th birthday, the only thing I really want is to see ROCKY in a theater. I don't know anyone who goes or would ever go, but do you have any suggestions of how I could convince my mother that she absolutely HAS to take me to ROCKY for my b-day?? Thanks! How can I tell someone I've never met that I'm not as old as they think I am? I am currently a senior in high school and would like to start a cast to put on RHPS. I have about ten friends who would probably like to be in it, but I think it may be too late to start, since we are all seniors and will soon go our separate ways. I wish I had thought about starting a cast my freshman year, but now I'm just wondering if there's any way to keep a cast together, even if they all go off to different colleges/workplaces/whatever... I am 22 years old, and I did not have sex until about a month ago. I cared very much for my girlfriend, and she said she cared about me. After we did it, and during, it didn't feel right. Ever since then I have been wondering if I lost my virginity to the wrong woman, or maybe i'm gay. All I know is that I didn't enjoy it. And the fact that her roommate caught her with another man a week later does not help. I'm single again, but I keep wondering if I'm gay, or what. I was engaged. He accused me of cheating, and now we are "friends." Sometimes we cuddle, sometimes we fight, then we have sex, then he doesn't talk to me, then he tells me there is no chance of working things out, then he wants to work things out, etc. I am tired of it, but I love him very much and want to know what to do. I have some questions about Shock Treatment. 1) When Cosmo says "He? How dare this person try to take advantage of my weakness", what exactly does he mean? 2) Does Nation say to Bert, "Care to join me in an on-set snack" or "non-sex act"? On-set snack makes more sense because they eat caviar after that. 3) Is it at all possible for my school to do a production of ST? They did it at my camp two years ago. (I wasn't there then, though. :() Is it a bad thing to be obsessed with RHPS? Do you like THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW? Approved By Farley Flavors Read New Letters to Nurse A.
