prophecyofdoom · 05-11-2007, 04:52 AM

1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
Writing, reading, photography, camping, travelling, tv watching, lounging, sleeping, hanging out at bars and clubs, thrift shopping. I work as a retail salesperson in a shopping mall.

2. Where are you from?
Riverside, CT.

3. Who is your favorite author(s)?
Anne Rice, Poppy Z. Brite, J.K. Rowiling, Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe, Elizabeth George, Mil Millington, Douglas Adams, the Dalai Llama. To name a few.

4. What are your favorite films?
Anything with Kate Winslet or Christina Ricci. American Beauty, Fight Club, Last of the Mohecians, Silence of the Lambs, Times Square, Pump Up the Volume, Contact, Stigmata, Blair Witch Project, and many, many, others. I love movies.

5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
I've always imagined myself dancing with my beloved to Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters", but I've yet to have a significant other who didn't scoff derisively at this idea.

6. At your funeral?
I'm not too concerned with that.

7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
In a huge explosion, instantaneously and leaving no remains.

8. What kind of casket would you want?
None, as I wish to leave no remains. A statue might be nice. If I were to have remains, I'd kind of like to be encased in amber. Or perhaps shot into space.

9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
Short black dress, high black boots from Hot Topic.

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
The feeling that your whole life is ahead of you and anything was possible.

How can I choose just one? Here is a selection: Type O Negative, Fear Factory, Machine Head, Hypocrasy, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Entoumbed, Sepultura, Pantera, Black Sabbath, Tori Amos, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, The Bangles, Cheap Trick, Bon Jovi, Heart, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Rush, Def Leppard, Bruce Springsteen, Live, Within Temptation, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Metal Church, Sins of Thy Beloved. My favorite song is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
Not nearly as much of one as I wish I had.

13. Why did you join?
I've been lurking here on and off for years. I felt like finally joining the conversation.

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

Welcome.

Once again, it's spelled Edgar All_A_n Poe. I can't tell you how badly that pisses me off. People that read his work should at least know how to spell his name. Anyway, welcome! I think "Nothing Else Matters" could be a great wedding song. Songs can be made to have different meanings than their original intended meaning. I mean, look at "White Wedding" which is actually an anti-wedding song, yet everyone plays it at their wedding... um, you get the idea.

welcome.............

Nice taste in music for the most part. Welcome

prophecyofdoom · 05-12-2007, 01:48 AM

Thank you all for your kind welcoming.....I'm shocked that no one has flamed me for my taste in music. I apologize for the misspelling. I often don't pay attention to spelling as carefully as I should. I know that Billy Idol wrote "White Wedding" to basically mock his sister for choosing to wed when she became pregnant... I had no idea that original intended meaning of "Nothing Else Matters" could be inappropriate for a wedding. I don't know the story behind the song. I suppose the line "so close, no matter how far" sounds like it indicates a failed relationship. Ah, but the lines, "Trust I seek and I find in you, Every day for us something new, Open mind for a different view, And nothing else matters." My bitter, jaded heart still swells when I consider this verse.

I love your music. I learnt how to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on the piano earlier on this year. Makes me cry every time I hear it, hence the water warping of the piano keys.

Yet another bitter and jaded person eh? Seems to be quite a growing group of us on gothic.net now.
Welcome my dear. Enjoy your stay here.

prophecyofdoom · 05-12-2007, 09:27 PM

You can play the Moonlight Sonata on piano? *Beaming with admiration*
I studied piano myself, but can only play pieces which have been "made easy".

Yes, I am very jaded. I have been hurt and done wrong again and again. I do hope that my bitterness is only temporary. I am currently reeling in the aftermath of yet another messy breakup. Once again, someone who I was initially quite taken with, has proved to be a lying, bullshitting, posturer. And worse. I know that there are genuine and worthy people out there, but I suspect that what life has in store for me is a series of assholes and psychos and people who just don't give a fuck.

Moonlight Sonata is a beloved classical piece to me. I learned to play it on my little plastic Casio back in highschool.

Welcome, Prophecyofdoom.

*Hangs her head in shame*
Well...actually...my version was slightly simplified...
*Begs for forgiveness*

Minyaliel · 05-14-2007, 05:53 AM

Ah, hey, no worries, Dir... I've been playing for years and have only now mastered the first page or so. *shrugs* Practise...

prophecyofdoom, welcome; I like your literary tastes, although I thoroughly disagree with your taste in music. Except for Pink Floyd, that is. Wonderful band. I love "The Wall", so much symbolism...

Dancing_in_rain · 05-14-2007, 06:04 AM

I'm working on the first page of the real version of the Moonlight Sonata.

"All in all you're just another brick in the wall"
and
"Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!"
are my favourite lines. That song should be played everywhere. I love Pink Floyd.

prophecyofdoom · 05-14-2007, 10:14 PM

Ah, I feel slightly less ashamed about my impassioned yet hoplessly mediocre piano playing.....

I'm pleased to find such acceptance, though my tastes are not quite in sync with many of you. I've always wished the different types of freaky people stuck together a bit more, rather than tearing each other down so much.

Pink Floyd are great....

"Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earth-bound misfit
Am I"

Listening to Floyd reminds me of some very dark times in my life. It brings back that hollow, uneasy feeling that something is wrong. Somehow the recollecting feels familliar and comforting.
Have you seen The Wall movie? Very disturbing.

"I don't need no arms around me
I dont need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Don't think I need anything at all."

Aaroneet · 05-19-2007, 07:47 PM

I am as well something of a Pink Floyd fan. Welcome.

killer_asian_Dax · 05-19-2007, 08:56 PM

Good taste in music, like the screen name- don't care about the rest. Welcome.
