Hi, I'm someone named Emily.

SomeoneNamedEmily · 07-25-2010, 11:53 AM

1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I hang out on the Internet (Tv Tropes Wiki has EATEN MY LIFE), tell other people how to use the English language, and try to improve my sewing skills. I beta my sister's fanfiction, 'cause I'm lame (or, depending on your opinion of fanfiction, awesome) like that.

2. Where are you from?
Suburban Clinton Township, Michigan, A.K.A The Middle of Nothing Very Interesting.

3. Who is your favorite author?
Probably Terry Pratchett.

4. What are your favorite films?
Not much of a film person.

5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
"Stuck With You" by Voltaire and Amanda Palmer. Parents who don't want their children to hear such language can just deal.

6. At your funeral?
I'm constructing an ever-changing list of happy, cheerful songs about death and dying.

7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Laughing.

8. What kind of casket would you want?
The kind that's easy to get out of in the event of zombification.

9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
Right now I'm partial to a long black skirt with a black t-shirt and spider-shaped necklace and earrings. I haven't really had the time or the money to put together a wardrobe consisting of much besides off-the-rack black, with some grey skirts and jewel-tone t-shirts mixed in.

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Not having to go to school!

11. What's your favorite band?
Currently Voltaire. He's worth listening to for the gorgeous instrumentals alone; the witty lyrics are an added bonus. I've also been playing Emilie Autumn's Opheliac album for about a week nonstop.

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I'll be entering eleventh grade in the fall of 2010. I plan to turn my hobby of correcting other people's spelling and grammar into a career.

13. Why did you join?
I just got into the goth scene a few months ago. I thought this would be a great way to meet new people and find bands and authors.

14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Last time I checked, female.

Hello! Some other stuff: Cheerful, geek, addicted to chocolate, lover of books, and player of both trumpet and French horn. The French horn is evil, people. There's a joke among its players that it's a divine instrument: man blows air into one end, but God only knows what comes out the other. Speaking of God, I'm a Catholic who tries to be open-minded and who would never, ever dream of trying to force my beliefs on anyone else. My turn-offs include people who try to force their beliefs on others (polite discussion is an entirely different matter, of course), people who feel the need to be rude, and the smell of chewing gum.

*in shock* Oh my gosh! Fanfiction, Voltaire, chocolate... Are you my long-lost twin that I'm pretty sure I don't have, being an only child!?

Li'l Miss Sticky Kiss · 07-25-2010, 01:00 PM

Now this is even more silly, since I joined on the 23rd of this month and I'm new as well.
"Geek"! Neat-o, I love a person that knows their way around a computer. Much luck.

If you were born on 27 February, 1994, then probably yes. If you weren't, well, that's cool, too. Incidentally, what fandoms (fendom? Whatever.) do you read?

^_^" Erm, nope. 16 December 1997. Ah well, age is but a word or symbol, or a combination of words or symbols, used in counting or in noting a total. According to the third entry on dictionary.com for "number".

I usually read Invader Zim, but I've dabbled in Mabinogi, Fairly Odd Parents and Lion King fanfiction as well. I even read a three-way crossover once between Invader Zim, Harry Potter and Tales of Symphonia! What about you?

You are hilarious.

I'm not sure whether the gloomy goths or cheerful goths are the worst. It creeps me out to see people so invigorated to be talking about their love of the dark and mysterious, at least the ones who take it too seriously don't give the impression of breaking character whereas the happy ones are verging on multiple personality disorder.

Razeal18 · 07-29-2010, 03:57 PM

yes because constant angst and having no enthusiasim is surley the way to be.

ape descendant · 07-29-2010, 06:33 PM

Heh heh, every time the word, oubliette, is used in conversation, a demon gets his horns.

I'm ancient...379 at last count.

Welcome to the boards. Good luck.

I just can't DO gloomy. I used to try, but it only lasted about five minutes each time. Eventually, I figured out that I'd be better off if I stopped trying to be AS! STEREOTYPICALLY! GOTH! AS! POSSIBLE! and started being myself, who happens to love smiling and laughing as well as skulls and bats.

You seem pretty rad and down to teh earth. You'll definitely lighten up the mood 'round here. Welcome.
