Draco's new-new-new introduction
It's been quite a while since I've posted an introduction here and many things have been revised, so I decided to write another one. This introduction shall be linked in my sig for those wishing to know basic information about me.
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I have many hobbies, though the most pertinent one is music in general. I buy, download, share, and even create music in almost all of my spare time. The rest of my spare time is usually taken up by creating DiY clothing or playing video games.
I'm a very expressive person, so it should come as no surprise that I like to craft my own clothing. Simply put, no clothing line to date can express what I feel.
As for video gaming, I don't enjoy many modern games (Max Payne and Silent Hill being exceptions). Instead, I love to play early 90's to early 00's games; the games I grew up playing. Some of my favorites are Twinsen's Odyssey, Gunman Chronicles, Deus Ex, Batman Forever, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Perfect Dark, and South Park (yes, the FPS one).
2. Where are you from?
I was born in Blountsville, AL and have lived there for 18 years. I am moving very shortly to Oneonta, AL to both be closer to "the Gym", and also to be closer to job opportunities and social gatherings.
3. Who is your favorite author?
What a surprise! It's Edgar Allan Poe! He's the author I've enjoyed most. It's difficult for me to finish a very long book; I don't know why, but It's just always been that way. I also love the classic gothic fiction writers, Ann Radcliffe and Horace Walpole.
4. What are your favorite films?
the Matrix would be on the top of my list because it was what really sparked my obsession with philosophy. (I've watched the "Philosophy of the Matrix" bonus disc at least twenty times now) I also have a great love for old horror films, including 1931's "Dracula" and "Frankenstein" as well as even older gems like "the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari". "the Rocky Horror Picture Show", (Rozz')"Pig" and "Un Chien Andalou" are also favourites of mine.
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
Probably something beautiful and otherworldly like Sigur Ros or Dead Can Dance, maybe a little Cocteau Twins.
6. At your funeral?
Choice selections from Current 93 and Virgin Prunes, as well as some of my most beloved songs in life.
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
As long as my band releases an album before I die, I don't really care. Though dying in the moonlight would be quite romantic.
8. What kind of casket would you want?
It doesn't really matter. Vanity is irrelevant in death, no?
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
My DiY skeleton-print jeans, a DiY shirt, my DiY deathrock leather jacket, my pair of black vinyl 3'' heel boots, and my ripped fishnet shirt with perhaps my ankh necklace, and my dangling silver ankh earrings. Red lipstick and heavy black eyeliner is a must as well. Also my fingerless skeleton gloves I bought at Snot Topic. Phew!
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Not judging people as if by second nature.
11. What's your favorite band?
Christian Death
(also love Sex Gang Children, UK Decay, Ausgang, and will always love Bauhaus)
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I have my GED, and am planning to start college this summer. I know I'm going to take a basic course on philosophy, and I'm also considering a career in art and/or music. I'm definitely going to be part of a deathrock band, though.
13. Why did you join?
I was intrigued by gothic culture. I wanted to know more about it. I started as a baby bat, but soon learned that I already had everything that makes a goth; I was just looking in the wrong place. I shed the stereotype and went my own way. I've been researching, taking part in, and loving the gothic culture ever since.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Male, though I'm bisexual and also have no problem with appearing androgynous. I'll also quickly admit to being homosexual, though I'm bisexual, for the sheer purpose of standing up for my queer brethren.

Hey Drac. Christian Death, woo hoo!
Like, welcome dude. See you around.
I would have done something more original, but I had to take some vicodin tonight and am a little abnormal at the moment.

Did you know that vicodin actually helps the brainwaves flow better?

lol Yes it is hard to get. Although for the Doc. on House, he has no trouble getting it! And he is smarter than hell, to boot! Maybe I should become a doctor.

Yeah, even though it wasn't very exciting. I suppose I'm not so very "Goth" as I'd like to believe.

I don't think people care, or at least I don't, just as long as your interesting.

Shyantra, I don't know you. Why would I tell you?
I know Draco personally; he knows where I live.

I am Sorry. It is hard to understand who people are referring to in threads when they do not specify who.

Sweetie... may I suggest something??
If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Male, though I'm bisexual and also have no problem with appearing androgynous. I'll also quickly admit to being homosexual, though I'm bisexual, for the sheer purpose of standing up for my queer brethren.
