I just read the 'For the newbies' thread on the Fashion section and it said to write in the introduction before making your own thread:
'Do not make your own thread. First, get a goddamn clue and see if there is one already made that consists of the gist of your *sic* original thought'
...but oh well I hate doing what others tell me to do. I really don't think this site should have so many rules about 'n00bs', the person who wrote that should be able to empathise as they were one once. But yeah...
Here's the boring stuff, Hi. My name is Nicole but I prefer to be called Nic. I am from Cardiff which is in South Wales which is in the UK. I wouldn't class myself as goth, although I believe I have the mentality and music taste. I like a wide variety of music mainly due to my parents love of music. I like everything from Pink Floyd to Limp Bizkit to melodic death metal bands like Kalmah and Amon Amarth. I love vintage clothing particularly victorian-esque and 70's. Very odd choices there. I am not a very positive person and it's my main let down. However, my boyfriend has put up with imy negativity & paranoia for nearly two years. If I'm going to get personal here I've found that my self loathing has derived from a medical condition I have that affects me psychologically more than anything, making me turn in away from the world. However, it has formed my personality and I feel more in tune spiritually and I feel a better person because of this minor suffering.
I am a second year university student and I study Media Studies and Popular Culture which has been criticised as being an easy subject to study. I don't want to get married on the basis of my parent's relationship. I don't feel I belong to this forum because I don't see myself as a goth in lifestyle or clothing in particular so I might leave soon. In saying that, I have gained a friend through this site which is great considering I only joined last week and thought me getting a friend would be highly unlikely.
I would dress more goth if I was more comfortable with my body... but I simply can't and it's a shame. My mistake on here was that I posted my own thread in the Fashion section about how I was too ugly to dress in gothic clothing. This sparked a lot of criticism and anger towards me, but some comments were helpful and gave me some good advice.
So far I have found the site interesting and I like reading the topics and leaving my own contribution. Hmm, what else to say... oh I'm 19, I like animals, I'm trying to be a vegetarian, I like cartoons, I'm alive, I believe in God but not religion (hypocritical maybe?) and I analyse too much.
Bye, have a nice day
Nic
