I'm the Garbageman [2nd attempt...]
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
Theoretically, I go to arts school. In reality, I don't do much... my pastimes include surfing youtube, watching old horror flicks, blasting old records and picking at my bass. I'm applying for a job at a local record store in the summer.
2. Where are you from?
"Cuz the world a person lives in
"Is his brain, well mine just gives in..."
Australia. Unfortunately.
3. Who is your favorite author?
I'm partial to J.S. LeFanu's "Uncle Silas", Emily Brönte's "Wuthering Heights" and Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451".
4. What are your favorite films?
"Night Of The Living Dead" "Down By Law" "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" "Straight To Hell" "HellW10" "Metropolis" "A Series Of Unfortunate Events" "Night Of The Living Dead" "Marnie" "Horror Of Dracula" "House On Haunted Hill" "White Heat" "Dracula Has Risen From The Grave"
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
The Cramps record "A Date With Elvis", but with the wedding dance "Like A Bad Girl Should"
6. At your funeral?
"Songs The Lord Taught Us"
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
A question always turning in my mind since I was but a babe... and one to which I never found a satisfactory answer [due in part to my extreme physical cowardice] however, I think being drained by Chris Lee's Drac might be a rather nice way to go...
8. What kind of casket would you want?
"Red velvet lines the black box"
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
All black: undertaker's coat, mad hatter top hat, leather pants and boots.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
I regret the loss of my innocence.
11. What's your favorite band?
The Cramps. Stay sick, turn blue <3
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I'm likely to fail, but IB diploma. Higher lever English and French.
13. Why did you join?
In order to get myself educated about certain matters.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
I think my Drac answer gave it away...

Welcome. I could tell that you were a Cramps fan just by glancing at the thread's title and your location. : P

The arts school that you mentioned wouldn't happen to be Q.C.A., would it? Nice to meet you too, by the way.

No, not quite! I can't mention the name online though, they're very strict about it. They've shut down accounts and such before.

Why would a school not want to be mentioned? And to the point of shutting down accounts?
Someone enlighten me!

I think, maybe, they're just very fussy about their image... they don't want anybody going on a punk site for instance and behaving "disreputably" and being traced back, lol :S

I hope you like the school despite all that

I like some things about it... I'd rather not have to go. I try to ignore it as much as possible.

Oh well, I'm probably failing in any case.
Stormtrooper, thanks for the welcome! That would be "Madame" though!

A rather odd rule for a school of the arts I think. But anyways Welcome.

You rule because you like The Cramps.

Yes! You see, historically I'm a punk, but I've always respected real Goths (not including posers and violent people who dress like Goths) and when I fell for the Cramps, they opened up my mind to classic horror films et al, and I realized that perhaps this is where my tastes really lie... I've always enjoyed the darker side of whatever it is, be it humour or fashion. In any case, it's a new thing to learn about, after some other phases...

Can I rule the world? Because I really really love them haha
Oh these phantom drivers
Down in the ground
You better plant 'em right
Or they'll come around
Move out baby
Move that mound
Or they'll dig it up
And they'll shut you down
So come on!

You're going in my cool book from now on. It's always good to have musical variety, which after 3-4 years in the punk subculture, I'm finally learning.

Thanks Stormie! If I may call you that, that is. I've been through a few phases and I feel it my duty to educate myself on one I've overlooked in the past! I can dig quite a variety of things.

Stormy or Stormie is just fine.
I'm the same way as well, I used to be only straight up punk, but now I like a lot more than what I used to. I'm still a punk, but one that likes many things.

The funny thing is, as a punk, I always had outsider tastes for a punk. I mean, I liked protopunk, deathrock, folkpunk, reggaepunk, gypsypunk, artpunk and so forth, almost never very straight punk though it can be fun. I liked when punk went wrong! lol
