Where do you live:
As I mentioned before, I don't really have any town that I really call home, no real need. I'm attached to St Petersburg, and I'm almost embarrassed. But I do finally have a home. After scrimping and saving for two years to pay off all of my bills, I just this spring bought myself a beautiful triple-slide fifth wheel trailer. Now people hear I live in a trailer, and they have completely the wrong image; some cramped little metal hovel. We refer to my new trailer as "The Palace" People for years have offered us home-cooked meals and escapes. And in the old days we could certainly have used them. The truth of the matter is The Palace is bigger and nicer than most of the apartments I have ever lived in. And I am a great cook. It's a little surreal really, to finally have a real home after all these years, the only difference between my house and yours: my front yard, and surrounding neighborhood changes about every two months, and if a flood, hurricane or tidal wave is coming - I can take the house to a safer place. Can you?
The hair question:
A few years ago Riki and Jef cut their hair, since then I have been inundated with questions and demands. "Why did your brother(s) cut their hair" "When are you gonna cut your hair- or most often; "Please don't cut your hair!"
Shut-up already!
All my life I have wanted to look like I do right now (well maybe not so many wrinkles, or bags under the eyes) this is my self-image. I don't know (really) why Riki and Jef cut their hair; I have some theories, and a few snappy rejoinders. But do me a favour, ASK THEM NOT ME! I appreciate further, your concern about my tresses, but other than a few wild moments when it is really unruly, and unmanageable, I'd never consider cutting it, so again; SHUT UP! One further note; there are two reasons I wear the pigtails for the sword show: (well three really when you consider that it just makes me giggle) First, I need to keep my hair out of my face while sword fighting. It's a safety issue. Second, it's damn funny, and funny to me. It further pushes the gender/sexuality envelope, and it adds comic impact. Besides, it is great fun to seduce a woman while wearing those ridiculous "tails" and yes I have done it.
How long will you do this:
As I have mentioned before, not only do I love this job, but also I love this lifestyle. This is what I was created to do. I could easily keep performing at renaissance festivals for fifteen years or more. This life is very kind to male performers, and I used to think that was what I was going to do. But I am getting a little tired of having to work so hard. Even if every festival was like Minnesota, where we never have to hawk a crowd, and the money and adoration is great! As opposed to Georgia, where getting each audience is hard work, I'm a little tired of working outside. I want to walk thru a door, and open a curtain, walk onto a stage in a huge air-conditioned room where thousands of people have paid just to see us work our magic. That's what I find most thrilling about TortugaPalooza, that, and getting to stretch our comic wings a bit. I'm working on a stand-up act, and I'd love to go in few other directions if they present, but have no fear; I am a Tortuga Twin until the day I die. Now we'll see where that takes me.
What�s up with your cat London now:
I saw a movie a while ago called The Rundown. The Rock and Sean William Scott are searching for an artifact called "Gatto Diablo" or some such, which is Portuguese for Devil Cat. The movie was amusing, but I spent the whole film thinking, "I know where the Devil Cat is" she is home right now, probably peeing on my bed! Well I took Devil-kitty to the vet last week; there is nothing physically wrong with her. It was kind of amusing in a sad way that even the Vet's professional opinion is that she's evil! (Actually she said she just had a lot of attitude). Here's the whole thing: She only pees in my bed when I am in it, or when I have been away for a while. Sometimes it is litter box avoidance. When the box has gotten too ammonia-y she let's me know. But the consensus is that she is desperately in love with me, and has anxiety when I am gone. Further, she wants to mark her territory (me, I guess). I am looking into a dispenser for Kitty pheromones, the same ones that mama kitties give when they have thrown a litter, And I am also considering getting her a kitten for a playmate so she is less dependent upon me. In the end, her hang-up is really that she loves me too much, and all it really requires is more frequent trips to the Laundromat. I want to thank all of the folks who responded to my questions about her, how lucky I am to have fans and friends like you!
What is the Perfect "Ronn - Girl" and what's the deal with Asians, and stripper shoes:
I have this list, this set of qualifications that the perfect girl for me should have.
Do you guys know about the pyramid in journalism? You start with the most important facts at the top, and as you get further and further down the column, the information is less vital to the story you are trying to report. I have the same sort of set-up (in my head) for the ideal woman. Near the top of the list are such things as intelligence, ambition, and creativity, Got to mention physical beauty, and fitness, loyalty. Dancing ability is oddly enough very important. I also need someone who has most of the same values and drives as I have. Trust me I can't date most girls, I'm too wild, or they are too "vanilla". Further, she has to be strong and secure enough to date someone who has to be this person on stage and in life. As you go down the list the things that are less important start to pop up. Once on a long trip, I thought-up the perfect fantasy woman: Asian, (I have a serious weakness for their beauty and allure) thirty two years old, intelligent, fake boobs, (love 'em, and I won't apologize), Bi-sexual (don't ask, it's my fantasy) loyal, strong, Since it's the life I lead, I wanted her to love the idea of traveling on the road, but have some non-festival job she can do while out here. Since this is a dream, why not have her be from a rich and/or influential family (perhaps the daughter of a major Sony executive, this could help our career maybe) have her be an expert martial artist, and an avid geek for computers and Dungeons & Dragons. Since I really love bad-girls, why not also have her be a former stripper from an earlier rebellious time in her life (trust me strippers know things that every girl should learn), and since I don't completely trust people to separate Ronn from Scaramouche, I'd prefer it if she fell in love with me before she saw the show, but have her love, and be proud of me once she saw what I do. IF ANYONE KNOWS A GIRL LIKE THIS INTRODUCE ME IMMEDIATELY.Before you all get "Up-in-arms" you should all know the one thing on my list that is at the top of the pyramid, the one thing that is a must. I need a woman who is strong enough to make me want who she is, not who I want her to be. There are some other things that are pretty hard to give up, I have dated girls who are less intelligent than I want them to be, but it's hard. I don't think I'd ever date (seriously) a girl who doesn't have Tattoos, or piercings. And (again) One of the things I like best about strippers, is that they know, and aren't afraid to be sexy, hell sex objects in bed. I have this thing for girls who (at least occasionally) wear their sexy shoes during sex. It's not a fetish. A fetish by definition replaces normal sexual focus. I don't think SHOES are sexy, I think hot girls, with great legs wearing sexy, stripper shoes are eye candy. (And before you judge, take a look at every Playboy, Penthouse, or Porno you see - They all wear them. I am very visual, especially sexually. One of the most incisive (and maybe critical) things anyone ever said about me was "Ronn runs his life like it's a porno, and he's the star". Very true. It just so happens that I have dated all types of women in the (maybe) six serious relationships I have had. There are some similarities, and some differences, love is crazy. But I am still looking. I have actually had a few offers from fans, and though I appreciate them more than you can guess, Trust me you don't want the real Ronn. And I'd have the hardest time dating a fan. Finally, there is a girl in Phoenix I hope to work things out with; she has a lot of the things I need, but not all. Who knows how it will turn out, but until further notice, I am still looking.
Starting next Journal, I'll intersperse photos throughout the journal, I'll write it that way for now I'll just end with a bunch of photos and their explanations.
Kisses, and look for that girl for me eh?
