Hello

1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I...sit around and play on my laptop, read, listen to music, work on my novel, go to school....

2. Where are you from?
I wish I knew...

3. Who is your favorite author?
I have several genres that I read often. I could never pick just one author, but I love books written in the 19th century. I just finished The Phantom of the Opera. I also read fantasy.

4. What are your favorite films?
I'm a sucker for romantic movies that take place way back when, or ones with non-sappy plots. Tristan and Isolde is a favorite. Hm....Underworld was good, but Underworld 2 had historically inaccurate scenes, and that bothered me.

5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
I would like Celtic music played.

6. At your funeral?
It doesn't really matter to me, since I'll be dead.

7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
So...you're telling me that since this is a gothic website, and since I'm a "gothic" person, I'm automatically put into the "morbid" category? Yes, unlike many people, I accept death as a part of life, but thoughts of death do not consume me.
I don't want to die, but when I do, I would like to die peacefully in my sleep, at an old age.

8. What kind of casket would you want?
I am very fond of cemeteries, because they are aesthetically appealing to me, so I originally wanted a black marble sarcophagus with intricate Celtic knots engraved in the top.
Now, I'd like a "Viking funeral".

9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
I'm not a very fashionable person...
I usually wear long black skirts, and black tank tops. My wardrobe is "normal", but all of my clothing is black.

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Sadly, I don't remember being a child. If I ever truly was one, the child in me died long ago. I was born with an old soul.

11. What's your favorite band?
I don't have favorite bands, but genres.
I listen to Celtic music, classical music, and the original 80's goth music.

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I am currently in high school, and I will be getting a major in English; I am planning on teaching high school English.

13. Why did you join?
This seems like a forum where most of the members are quite intellectual. I don't associate with people often, but when I do, it's with intelligent ones.

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

Welcome. I wouldn't mind a Viking funeral, either...

Something about a Viking funeral holds incredible appeal for me...

A Viking funeral...hmm...never thought about that one. But yes it does have a certain appeal also associated with me.

Ah, welcome my dear. I too am fond of cemeteries. I travel, photographing various mausoleums and tombstones.

Again, welcome.

I am Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Native American, and a little bit of English. Basically Celtic and Cherokee.
I live in the US, but my real home is in England. I cant wait to go back. I am planning to move there with my fiancée once I graduate high school.

As far as Celtic music goes, I have many CDs by artists that don't really have names. I'm also rather fond of my high priestess' band, but that's more folk music.

I always get a little confused when Americans list their "nationalities"! But it sounds very exotic. I'm just Irish, Irish, Irish and Irish. And maybe a bit of English from somewhere way back.

America has been a "melting pot" for a long time. I am one half Mexican, one quarter French and one quarter German.
