Lazy Days
Hey. Xnguela reckons i should officially introduce myself and stick around for some conversation. So since she seem like a fairly clued up kinda gal, i'll do just that.
I'm Laura. I'm 21. I'm originally from a town in the Midlands, so yes i'm one of those damn Brummies 
Currently in my 3rd year of a media degree at Lincoln Uni, i hope to go into radio or entertainment, but the backstage kind - producing or editing, not fronting the show.
I have a boyfriend who i intend to spend the rest of my life with (awww) and i have a cat called Max who is the most beautiful yet annoying creature.
I love music (allsorts), TV (allsorts), reading, writing and winter, because Christmas is the highlight of my year so i'm always depressed in January when its over.
And, umm, thats all i can think of for now.

Welcome to the group...Xng tends to be 'fairly clued up' like that. Totally. You've started quite a thread over in General...as much debate as it's brought about, I like to follow it! If you're looking for a couple books on Gothism, I can recommend some if you'd like.

Yeah meta that would be useful. My bible through the whole of this has been Goth by Paul Hodkinson, its a great book, interesting read too. Had to return it to British library today though, shame.
eyesofatradegy: me neither, shhhh! If we keep our heads down maybe no-one will notice...

There is:
"The Goth Bible" by Nancy Kilpatrick
"What Is Goth?" by Voltaire
"Goth: Identity, Style, Subculture" by Paul Hodkinson
That's all I can think of off the top of my head...I'll post a few more titles later.

Of course you can call me laura. Yeah i was going to get the Gavin Beddeley one, but i couldn't order it from the library. I heard the Voltaire book was more of a humourous look on the Goth culture not an academic one, is this wrong?

Hi Geisha!
I adore the book "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Artur Golden. Your avatar seems to be from the book cover.
Well - finally I googled darkice and found a better avatar. At least some ice...

Sorry, i read the pm from xng first, before i saw your reply. Though she did quote you though as someone who thought it was a good idea.
Xng, if you can find me a pic of peter kay, i'd love that for my avatar. I'm afraid i'm not quite sure how to do it.
