Hello, I'm Mathew.

1. What do you do?
Pretty much nothing. I'm passively job searching and I just listen to music, talk to my boyfriend, and lurk around websites all day.

2. Where are you from?
I'm from the UK, but I live in a shitty suburb in midwest US.

3. Who is your favorite author?
Poppy Z Brite.

4. What are your favorite films?
Children of Men, Baraka, Alice in Wonderland, Gypsy 83 (shuttup), Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Velvet Goldmine, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later, Stay, Shaun of the Dead, The City of Lost Children, The Devil's Backbone.

5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
My boyfriend would probably be in control of that.

6. At your funeral?
I don't want a funeral.

7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
I don't really have a preference. I'll probably die arthritic and boring from heartbreak after my boyfriend dies of lung cancer.

8. What kind of casket would you want?
I read about getting cremated and having the ashes put into a firework. That sounds more appealing.

9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
Uh.

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
My only responsibility was to not bother my dad.

11. What's your favorite band?
Placebo. They're not even gawth musics. I lose ten points.

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I graduated high school, and right now I'm dragging my feet to cosmetology school.

13. Why did you join?
Cos I'm bored.

14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Male.

My my...you don't sound very enthusiastic. Welcome anyways

Tismine · 05-30-2007, 01:03 PM

Welcome, darling. I adore your name, simply because pressed flowers are one of my favorite things. Hm...on the firework note, wouldn't that make everyone breathe in your ashes after they have settled?

Underwater Ophelia · 05-30-2007, 01:45 PM

I think you seem very cool. I like you already. Welcome to our nice community.

kimaru · 05-30-2007, 02:57 PM

I like you too, you sound rather interesting though not very enthusiastic.

Draconysius · 05-30-2007, 04:21 PM

Welcome. From what I can tell, you seem cool, and educated. Yay for same-sex relationships! ^,..,^

Welcome, and never mind the outfit. We'll like you just fine in the altogether.

pressedflowers · 05-30-2007, 10:32 PM

Thank you all!

(Is that good for enthusiasm?

)

Cicero · 05-31-2007, 12:01 AM

PLACEBO! You lose no points whatsover for that. In fact you gain points because Placebo is awesome.

Welcome.

Saphyra Runa · 05-31-2007, 01:06 AM

What wonderfully shitty Midwestern burb would you be inhabiting?

I picture you completely expressionless and droning on in monotone. Makes you all the more interesting to me.

Welcome to you.

HumanePain · 05-31-2007, 02:58 AM

Hello Pressed Flowers.

Valerius · 05-31-2007, 06:57 AM

I think being cremated and having your ashes put into fireworks is funny. I want my own ashes to be put into cake and for my children to feast until the icing comes out of their ears.

Saphyra Runa · 05-31-2007, 10:39 AM

At first I thought, "Ew, icky."

But then again who would I be to turn down cake? Bring on the icing!

Aaroneet · 05-31-2007, 03:02 PM

Welcome and enjoy your stay.

Welcome to you.

Ankeny, Iowa. And I'm really quite expression-ful, I think, irl. I've been told more than once that I sound mean/unfriendly online :/ I'm not sure what I should do to avoid that ... maybe put emoticon smilies after everything.

Saphyra Runa · 06-01-2007, 01:31 AM

I never said your were mean/unfriendly, just picutred you in my head as speaking the whole intro thing expressionless and in monotone. My brain tends to humor me. You just came along at the right time to give it something to visualize.

GAK. That sounded like a load of.....

Anywho, welcome to the wonderful world of shitty burbs in Iowa. I live in the shitty burb of Waukee, IA. We are about 30 mins SW of you. Actually I like Waukee.

Where are you planning on going to cosmetology school? You coming down this way to Johnston or Urbandale, or up to Ames?

Then you will partake of my cake?

Vyvian Blackthorne · 06-01-2007, 07:12 AM

Gypsy 83 is one of the greatest films made EVER.

Johnston. I might switch to Ames the second year though, if my sister and I decide to get an apartment together.

Raptor · 06-01-2007, 10:32 AM

Hi there. Where abouts in the UK were you from? Not that it matters, just interested

I shall, as long as I can have a piece with flowers on it.

Welcome, Mathew. Hope you enjoy your stay here at G-net. And during your wedding, you should decide the music, not your boyfriend, or at least, both should agree on something.
