You see black certainly isn't how I am inside. I'm red and purple and gooey, with green tinges here and there, and the layer of fat directly beneath my skin is... why it's bright yellow! Do I lose my goth points now? Or perhaps I should just buy some yellow clothes... you know... to match the lovely lipids. What will be far more stressing, however, is finding clothes to match my brain, since it's a purply-pinky-greeny-off-white colour that I suspect will be quite difficult to find in most clothing stores. There's always the possibility of dying my innards black though. Then I wouldn't have to replace my current wardrobe, and the goth points earned would be phenomenal. I'll do it on the same day I get "Cut Here" tattooed on the inner wall of the left ventricle of my heart

Now, hold on a minute. You have a valid point biologically, true, but it just seems like an arrogant attempt at bashing someone for a metaphor. Like, if I were to yell at someone who said, "I'm filled with rage", because they weren't chock full of the word rage flowing around their blood like little platelets.

It just seems unneccesary.
