Hi! Welcome to Gnet.

Hey.

Maybe it's just me, but what is "******s"?
It was part of your answer for #1 and I'm not sure what that could be.

Welcome. Hope you enjoy your stay.

l.o.l.i.t.a The board censors it.

Is he really?

Teh lolz :) It would seem that only, what? two of ten manage it?

why do they censor l*****a?

I believe it would be to keep pedobear away. They don't want gnet coming up on creepy google searches.

Oh. Thank you.

He is, I fell in love with The Raven way back in like JHS. I love what it represents, for me anyway. I'm also quite fond of his short stories like The Orangutan.

Ok, I have to ask only two of ten manage what?

To spell Poe's middle name correctly. One would assume that if he was one of your favorite authors you would know it's Allan, not Allen.

I'm sorry. people make mistakes, I probably didn't even spell the other two authors names right either, that happens when you spell names. I haven't read his name in a little while, Oh well. It's not like it changes who I'm talking about.

No, it doesn't change who you're talking about, and beyond making the above jokes, I don't care :) It happens so often here that most people can't help but comment. Though I will say that I'm somewhat vexed that you chose the Raven.

why? too cliched? I was young and it spoke to me. I wrote a response to it and had it performed at an acting program, sadly I lost both the response and the video of the performance.

Yeah, cliché, not to mention the hordes of "OMG teh Rahven is so DARK! Fuck Imma so GAWF!" kids that look at you like you're some form of oddity if you ask what they thought about The Sleeper, the Conquerer Worm, or the City in the Sea, etc. Not to say that the Raven is without merit, just a little worn out.

Luckily for me where I live most of the population is uneducated and wouldn't understand anything more poetic than rap. So i really haven't run into that problem.
Although I would have to agree with you on that point, it would seem the things that originally got me into the Gothic subculture and lifestyle have become cliched and worn out.
But I still love them.

BTW your impression of the hordes of GAWF kids it makes me giggle

Oh well, what can you do. It probably helps that a lot of high schools (up here at least) seem to require some study of the Raven, so I'm sure that it has been many a kid's first introduction into the darker...realms, works, whatever.

Heheh, I used to be one of those gawf kids, though thankfully not anymore. Not even goth these days, I got kidnapped by the raw intensity and awesome people of punk rock :D

Yeah they got my friends too. Them the cybergoths and steampunks, with their awesomeness and bright colors, bah *laugh*

Now now, let's not be so hasty, whats this...colour you speak of? Actually, that's a lie, I wear camo, but other than, s'all black, I promise officer!

Colors are cool, every now and again I love to throw some seizure inducing colors together (is fighting the urge to add "and dance in front of Asian children") it all depends on my mood. it's either all black or random neon colors, there is no middle ground.

BTW how do you get a signature???

Toolbar above the thread. Hit "User CP" then click "edit signature". I dunno if there's a post requirement for a sig, pretty sure there's a bar for private messeges at least.

oh, ok, thank you.

funny I had to go look up "Goth Talk" to see you spelled Azrael (Azrael Abyss, Prince of Sorrows) differently. Welcome hope Rainbow Bright doesn't give you nightmares.:rolleyes:

Dude, I actually have a Rainbow Brite doll. One of those toddler dolls. She is pretty creepy.....

Azareal I'm not a dude.
Did I get that right you are "West Indian American"? How does your family cope with your life style choice? If you would like to share, if not disregard.

You obviously don't hang out with enough stoners. Dude is, like, gender neutral, man :)

Dude as gender neutral was kind of a 90's thing....

Yes I am and I don't mind answering.
It took a lot of getting used to, I'm the only one of my 4 sisters to be like this. My sisters all love it, they think it's fun to get me dressed up and take pictures with them, cause we're all so different. My dad only knew about the stereotypes and in the beginning was very upset. Sometimes I think he still can't take it, especially as he finds out more and more exactly what I'm into. My mom was more open minded and actually went shopping with me and talked with me about what it meant to be "Gothic". She still helps me pick out outfits and only rarely jokes that I need to put some other colors in my wardrobe. I was always different and she knew it so I guess it was easier for her to adjust. And she realized that I was more comfortable and happier so she relaxed herself and she's even gotten all dressed up with me. I think her biggest problem is my hair, she hates when I put colors in it.

I'm sorry, I don't mean it in the sense of you being male, ape descendant explained it perfectly. I just love the word and when I get excited I tend to over use it.

Breathless Horror the really funny thing is I'm not a stoner, never have been.

Dude, there's nothing wrong with using the word 'dude' as gender neutral. Fuck anyone who takes offense.

Welcome to the pack.

*laugh* thank you, I've been looking for someplace like this for a long time.

Dude as gender neutral is totally da bomb... *snickers*

That's right, bra! ;)

Hay Dudes, I don't take offense, I was just clarifying and making conversation. I can be serious all the time if you prefer and let me know ahead of time. Otherwise I will remain (mostly) in one of two categories: Sarcastic as hell -or- Devil's Advocate!;)

Never apologize for something you will do again, anyway you did not a thing wrong. I was the one splitting hairs (my normal state of being)

And Most Important: Thank you for sharing!

No problem, I've been looking for a long time for someplace where I could actually talk with other intelligent(that's the important part) people who are also a part of the Gothic subculture.

and you all are so nice, even when you're like getting on each other for something.
