Yep, it's official; I do have gall stones. I'm going to go talk to a surgeon on Thursday.

For my first entry on my Gnet blog, I'd like to give a summation of how I discovered Goth, and how I came to consider myself Goth.

It all began during Anime Expo in Anaheim, California. I saw some rather gothic-looking characters walking around, and realized that I really liked the style of clothing they wore.
