Allow me to introduce myself (take two)
So the last time I did this, I managed to write it all and then not post it. Awesome. I'll try and remember what I said, but memories aren't my strong point.
Since I intend to post on your boards I thought I'd abide by your rules and share a little info about myself.
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I have a lot of odd interests, but the main ones right now are playing guitar, drawing, and reading. The fact that the previous sentence makes me sound like a douchebag artist/intellectual type makes me queasy.
2. Where are you from?
California, though I find that this question grows ever more irrelevant with the passage of time.
3. Who is your favorite author?
I love dystopian novels, most of Pahlaniuk's work, and a lot of Vonnegut. Philip K. Dick is also my hero. Generally I try and divide my time between the so-called 'classics' and sci-fi novels.
4. What are your favorite films?
Fight Club, Sin City, old Film Noir movies, Harold and Maude, anything Stanley Kubrick, some anime...I watch more movies than can possibly be healthy for any grown citizen. I recently watched a movie called "Wristcutters: A Love Story", which I fell in love with, except of the horrendously cheesy and barely related title.
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
I don't want to get married. I'm very opinionated about this subject.
6. At your funeral?
I don't want a funeral. Life doesn't really happen in tidy little moments with closure and a fitting conclusion to everything, so there's no reason to delude people into thinking that death should be otherwise.
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Once I reach the age where I can no longer take care of myself or am an excessive burden on my loved ones, I intend to rent a rowboat, go out on a foggy day, tie a big metal ball to my leg, and jump overboard. It seems to be the only honorable way left.
8. What kind of casket would you want?
I don't want a casket, or a headstone, for that matter. It's not really necessary. If people care about me after I'm gone they can do so in the privacy and comfort of their own home. Besides, I'll be dead, what do I care?
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
-Marilyn Manson European tour t-shirt
-Tripp red-stitched hoodie with spiky shoulders
-red stripey skull gloves
-tripp red skull bondage pants
-1" cone spike bracelet, left arm
-spiked leather flame bracelet, right arm
-Anarchic animal friendly studded boots
-1" cone spiked collar
Yes, I know Marilyn Manson isn't goth. I saw his concert here in Spain and bought the t-shirt. It goes with my red stuff.
I am completely aware that I dress like a Mallgoth. The only reason I can get away from it is that, here in Spain, no one else has the clothes I do, so I somehow can fake being original. Flame away.
On a related note, if anyone has any DIY clothes-making/screenprinting skills or resources, PLEASE contact me. I've had ideas for a lot of things I'd like to bring to fruition for ages.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Not being aware of my existence.
11. What's your favorite band?
System of A Down. Musically, I lean towards metal, but to pigeonhole me as a metalhead would be to deny my rather eclectic tastes. If t speaks to me, I like it.
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I'm in college, studying Spanish
13. Why did you join?
Someone posted an Ontological argument for the existence of God. I'm into philosophy, so I found this interesting. Also, a lot of my friends have been calling me a goth lately, so I decided to try and live up to their expectations of me. That last bit was sarcastic.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Last time I checked, I'm a male. Wait...yep, still a male.
