Dear Nurse Ansalong:
What would you do if you had a friend who was only there for you half the time and always chose their "significant other" over their friends?
All of my friends have boyfriends and I am happy for them, but they are busy people and they can't work at their jobs, do their homework, do stuff with their boyfriends AND do things with me. Some people tell me that if I am so bored, I should get a boyfriend, but I don't really want one. What do you recommend I do?
I am a 13 year old female and my boyfriend and I have been going out for two months now. We're both really shy and we barely talk!! I think I'm falling in love with him, but we're both 13 so I think I'm too young!!
I love my best friend! We dated once, and we broke up. I'm so confused! What do you suggest doing?
I'm playing Magenta in our local cast, but our new director wants to recast my part because I can't sing the very lowest notes. I've tried talking to her but she's stubborn as hell and she hasn't listened to anyone who speaks up on my behalf. Any advice?
How can we get friends and others to get over the fact that this movie is not a phase and there are drag queens in it?
What, in your opinion, is the right age to be in a cast?
Was Pat Quinn a stripper at any time in her life? I read she was once a Playboy Bunny, but then I read somewhere else she was also one a stripper.
I am desperately unhappy. My best friend (who is now 18) and I have been friends for years with no problems. It was more then a casual friendship - we were closer than brother and sister, closer than blood. But now, he has gone and supposedly fallen in love with a girl my age (19) who has a 3 year old daughter. They started off as flatmates, but soon were sharing the same bed.
I have a boyfriend but the bad thing is that I met him on the internet. What should I do?????????
My friend and this guy were fooling around, but she wanted a relationship and he didn't. There was this major drama, and now they can't be in the same room together. All this happened before I met the guy, and right when I met the girl. The girl and I are friends and the guy and I have just started fooling around. It's the perfect arrangement for me and the guy, because we both just want to have fun, no strings attached, and we've been really good about not letting anybody know what's going on, but I don't want to hurt my friend. Suggestions?
There's this friend of mine and I really like his roommate (they're both 22, I'll be 18 in 6 months)....
I'm a HUGE RHPS fan. The only thing is I've never seen SHOCK TREATMENT. I can never find it in video stores and it is never on TV. I would like to buy it off the internet but I'd rather rent it first to see if I like it.
What is Tim Curry's issue with this movie?
I'm 13 years old and for the last 2 years I have loved RHPS. My parents won't let me join a cast until I'm 16 and it's so horrible having to wait three years! What can I do to convince them and what can I do to support ROCKY in the meantime?
Was Janet commiting a sin by marrying Brad because she's Jewish?
I know it may sound like a stupid or pointless question but which RHPS actors wear a wig and which use their real hair during the film? It's been buggin' me for a while (But am I the only one who thinks it would be a real gas if that was Tim Curry's own hair...okay, just me then.)
What do adults have against kids who love Rocky?
I have been planning on breaking up with my long-term boyfriend when he gets back into town for the summer, but I'm not sure if I should tell him I slept with this one guy once.
There's a guy at the coffee shop that I think is attractive. My question is, how do I get to talking with him so I can find out if he's interesting, nice and all of the things that matter in a person?
I am going insane. I unintentionally over-analize everything, and it is driving me crazy. I can't help it. I do it without even wanting to or trying to. And it is causing problems for me.
I haven't had a boyfriend at all yet. I am 12 and I have a hard time just finding the right guy and, when I do, I have to get my friends to ask the guy. I dont want to be embarrased because I don't have a boyfriend. Can you help me?
I read on Cosmo's Factory that Sal Piro was in SHOCK TREATMENT. What part did he play?
I really like RHPS but everyone else I know doesn't. They don't really understand why I like it. I am somewhat of a loner because no one else shares this interest. What should I do?
I had been with my ex for 3 years. We were planning on getting married,high school sweethearts, the whole bit. Needless to say, we broke up, but he is my first and only love. I'm deeply depressed on the subject and don't know how to get over it. Any ideas?
I am having an identity crisis/confusion. I am a 18 year old female, and I am having trouble being just myself. It keeps changing and I don't like it. Do you have any advice on how I can find the real me?
I recently showed my Rocky pictures to my best friend and she looked at them nonchalantly, however she told another friend they made her feel uncomfortable. Why do you think this is and do you think I should approach her about it? It sound as if were kids, but we're 25!!
My question is that I am 25 and I am tired of being single. Where should I look for a life long partner?
Because of my interests in RHPS and other "strange movies" such as the Evil Dead trilogy, I am shunned at school and made fun of more than normally. I do have a friend which helps, but I still suffer from depression. I do not want to change myself to be liked by others but everyday it seems to get worse. Can you help me?
Your link for a recent picture of Peter Hinwood didn't work on my computer. Is it my computer, or is the site down? And if so, where can I find another recent picture of him and more about him?
Upon seeing the movie RHPS about 70 times in one year, I began to get some questions...
I have this huge crush on one of my brother's good friends. He is soooo cute and really nice, but all my friends can't see why I like him. Should I go for it or should I just stay away?
I am a very shy person. One day I was feeling confident and I walked up to this guy who was, I am guessing, about 8 years older than me - I am 18. I talked to him and then told him I thought he was attractive. For a little while I felt proud of myself for doing something like that. But after that, I started to feel extremely alone and sad. What is wrong with me?
I can't see myself the way others see me. My friends and teachers tell me that I'm pretty, intelligent, talented etc., but no matter what anyone says, I look in the mirror and see a fat, mean, clumsy, brainless bitch. Is there something wrong with me or is it them?
I'm good friends with this girl who's lately fallen into a depression because she's not in a relationship and all her other friends are. Without even meaning to, I found myself using her vulnerabilities, flirting with her, cuddling with her, kissing her etc. etc. etc. ...Essentially using her for some eventual chance of sex. I realized that I didn't like her "that way" though and vowed to stop. But now she's gotten the wrong idea (although I can't say I blame her) and is flirting back and stuff.I don't know what to do, and I'm too shy to confront her and just say "Hey, I tried to use you for sex but had an attack of conscience, sorry."
My "friend" next door has been bugging me. I'm sick of the way she's been treating me and I don't want to hurt her feelings too much. What should I do?
Arthur Levesque's Brad patch says that Brad graduated from Denton High in 1963. If Brad lives in the US, that means he was 18 in 1963. And since the movie takes place in 1975, that's 18+12=30. So Brad was 30?? What's going on here?
I've recently started playing Magenta in our local cast and I've always tried to make my performance as screen-accurate as possible. Since I started playing Magenta, we have received a lot of cards telling us to "make sure to bring back the new Magenta", "don't get rid of the new Magenta", and so forth. I was flattered at first, but Marla (our director) is now giving me the impression that that was not what was supposed to be done. Is my performance all wrong or does Marla just have a different interpretation of the character?
I'm 14 and haven't been a Rocky fan for very long, so I have a question that might seem a little dumb. Who is "Larry" and why was he, at some point, "the man?"
What would you do if you were in love with someone who doesn't even know you are alive?
My best friend "Jane", my best guy friend "Joe", and I have been hanging out a lot lately and i've noticed that Jane and Joe have a liking for each other. I think that Joe and Jane should hook up and I've tried letting Jane know that I think it's okay and that she should go for it, but she won't admit she likes him when it is really really obvious! What should i do?
There is this guy that I have known for a long time. I've never thought he was cute until now. He is my brother's best friend's little brother. Although my brother is in his twenties, the guy I think is hot is only 17 or 18. The only problem is that my sister told me she has a minor crush on him. So should I tell my sister what I feel about this guy or should I just ask this guy out????
I've been trying to figure out a couple things about ROCKY...
I took music lessons from the same man for almost six years. One day, I was asked to travel to Florida to sing with a group of people. He seemed to resent me after that. Eventually, he kicked me out. Now everyone askes me if I recomend him for lessons. I don't know what to say to them. What should I tell these people?
My ex-boyfriend, who I broke up with a week ago, is falling for one of my best friends and I think she is feeling him. She said she isn't taking sides but I have a feeling she is because she likes him and won't admit it. I don't think a true friend would hurt you like this. What do you think I should do?
Now I've met this guy. I told him he was attractive and he said you too. The moment he said that I felt so bad that I just runned. The other day after a school dance the guy asked me if I was the girl who told him he was attractive and I said no that it was probably my twin sister.Then I attmited it
and said bad words to him. He got mad and went away. I like him but I think he is a seventh grader and I'm a eighth grader. I feel so sad that everyone might laugh at me. How can I make that guy like me and forgive me?
