Hello
 

Hi, I'm Holly aka Starlithome (or just Starlit). I've been wearing black since I was 14 or so (with a brief phase of wearing color to try and "fit in", which sucked...). I'm a geeky bookworm, a movie-lover, and a new mama - my baby daughter was born on August 30, 2011 :)

1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
My hobbies are reading, I dabble in drawing and painting, and I love movies and some TV shows. My job is the best in the world - I'm a homemaker and stay-at-home mama. My days consist of taking care of and playing with my beautiful little girl!

2. Where are you from?
I'm FROM Canada - a small town in southern British Columbia. I now live in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.

3. Who is your favorite author?
William Gibson, Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, Jaqueline Carey, Jane Austen.

4. What are your favorite films?
Labyrinth, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Princess Bride, Lost in Translation, The Matrix, The Breakfast Club, Babies, etc etc etc.

5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
We had the most wonderfully eclectic mix of music played at our wedding, including Bjork!

6. At your funeral?
Not sure.

7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Before my husband and my children - I don't want to be alone in the world. :(

8. What kind of casket would you want?
Something simple and plain.

9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
A long skirt (either black or a mostly-black pattern), a t-shirt (grey, black, or dark brown, with a graphic), jewelry (nose ring, earrings, bracelets). I don't dress up very often - but when I do I love stripey tights and stompy shoes!

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
playing pretend and it feeling SO REAL.

11. What's your favorite band?
Smashing Pumpkins, Dresden Dolls, System of a Down, many many more.

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
High school grad with honors, then a stint in college as a music (vocal) major.

13. Why did you join?
I post regularly on a mommy forum but need another outlet for my darker side ;)

14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
female, mama kine.

... but it's okay to leave THEM alone?!

S'okay. I can relate.

Welcome to Gnet...!

I really, really don't want any of my children to die before me! And I'd rather not bury my husband, either. :(

Dude, parents normally go first.

Aloha, Starlit!

Congrats on the new Keiki!

I was in Honolulu for a while. I hated dressing Goth out there due to the climate, lol.

How long were you in your music program for? I like to sing as well although I never took school for it beyond high school music class but I do sing in Church choirs pretty frequently.

Thumbs up for your clothing choices. We could shop in each other's closets, perhaps!

One of the things I love about being a Mama is reliving some of the perks of child hood. When your daughter gets big enough to play pretend, do it with her! Play when ever you can. Kids learn best through play and it can be such a great bonding experience too.
