Hello!
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I just graduated school for Fashion Design. I make clothes. I also work at Urban Outfitters right now to pay for my clothing making habit, which isn't really making me any money right now.
I also am really into mythology and fairy tales, and i like video games and comic books.
2. Where are you from?
Kalamazoo MI, currently living in Chicago, saving up to move to L.A.
3. What are your favorite books?
(I changed this one because it was too hard to just pick one author)
A Fair and Private Place (Peter S. Beagle)
Weetzie Bat (Franchesca Lia Block)
Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman)
The Moonstone and The Woman In White (Wilkie Collins)
Pattern Recognition (william gibson)
I really like classic gothic literature in general... ghost stories, supernatural stuff and crime fiction written in the 1800's
And any sort of fairy tales or folk tales.
4. What are your favorite films?
Vertigo, Moulan Rouge, The 5th Element, Se7en, Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, Chinatown
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
"all is full of love" by Bjork (instead of here comes the bride)
and a live swing or rockabilly band for the reception.
6. At your funeral?
Zombie Prom by Otto Von Shirock. lol.
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
ennui
8. What kind of casket would you want?
black flannel lined. Seriously. i want to be comfy for eternity. Also, you can lay me face up all pretty-like for the funeral but as soon as you're about to bury me, flip me over on my stomach. I can't rest well on my back.
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
the Moi Meme Moitie dress I bought for my college graduation. The print on it reminds me of when i visted Mont St. Michele and Carcassone when i was 18.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Nothing. Anything I liked, i still do. (drawing, video games, playing with dolls...) Being a kid sucked.
Ok maybe other people paying for everything, that was cool. But seriously, it wasn't worth it.
11. What's your favorite band?
Patrick Wolf, Bjork, David Bowie, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, NIN, SWANS, Venetian Snares
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
BFA. Fashion Design.
13. Why did you join?
To talk to other people!
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
I'm a girl

Ennui is lacking in creativity. I'd say go for Crohn's Disease or some sort of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever. At least you'd not be bored.

Dying of boredom..... That'd be really, well, boring.
Can't you die of something fun? Who wants to be bored, it's not even masochistic!
Welcome anyway!

LetheanBlacklight- Hell yes. breakcore rocks my socks. I got into it going to breakcore loft parties in Detroit.
Sir_vex- chron's disease isn't lethal anymore. They can treat it. But since y'all seem to think ennui isn't good enough...
I'll die squished when a pile of books falls on me. .... Death from the thing I love most.

You seem pretty cool. Ever read Gaiman's American Gods? It's one of my favorite books.

You sound like a poorly written quote from one of the worse Batman movies.
