'I want to have an opinion or comment on that intro, but you've gone out of your way to make the font tinier than normal.'

I can't work out how to resize it, so I'm going to re-post my Q answers at a more legible size (see above)

1.What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I’m studying at present, though in the past I’ve worked in kitchens, and behind the bar & helping with the general running of a small club.
In the summer I work at festivals on a small sound/light & staging crew.
I enjoy writing, photography & drawing, and going to galleries & museums.
I also like growing things, cooking for my friends, going to gigs, taking long walks and shooting pool/the shit in bars.
I’m not at exactly sporty, but I like to swim (outside, if possible) and I’ve just started doing Wing Chun (Bruce Lee’s Martial Art, before he devised his own one-whoo).
I love traveling (my parents are hippies who did the overland journey in the 60’s-70’s-they got me into traveling for the sake of it, and I’ve loved it ever since.) My favourite destinations -probably Karnataka & Goa, or Italy, especially Florence & Venice.
2.
Where are you from? I live in a small town on the outskirts of London.
3. Who is your favourite author?
Ooh, difficult one-I read a lot, novels, poetry & biography especially about old school Hollywood stars. Angela Carter, Evelyn Waugh, Will Self, -
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Buckowski, Burroughs & J.D.Salinger are my favourite American writers.
4. What are your favourite films?
Also diff. Full Metal Jacket, Goodfellas, Withnail & I, Aliens, (sometimes I have such boy taste in films,) Labyrinth, Cabaret, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Heathers.
Sunset Boulevard, Lifeboat, Kind Hearts & Coronets and All About Eve are my favourite oldies.
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
The Captain Sensible Version of Happy Talk.
6. At your funeral?
I’d like ‘Death Shall have no Dominion’ and ‘Not Waving But Drowning’ read, then Mozart’s Requiem-and the Sid version of ‘My Way’ at the end.
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
'Resume'
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp;
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
-Dorothy Parker
8. What kind of casket would you want?
If it was going to be an item of furniture (like Theda Bara had) a glass ‘Snow White’ style one. In reality, I think a Zoroastrian sky burial would be cool, but there are no vultures where I live, so cardboard casket/composting.
9. What's your FAVOURITE outfit?
For here, something flame retardant, I guess (!)
I collect vintage & unusual clothes, but for every day, it’s black skinny jeans, army paras, stripy black & purple mohair jumper & a black long sleeve T-shirt.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Dressing up, and playing out endless stories my friends & I devised.
11. What's your favourite band?
Again, I have an eclectic taste in music, that includes 90’s indie, riot grrrl & grunge, 60’s psychedelia, old school British punk, some electro- but most relevant favourites would be Bauhaus, Bowie, Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, Velvet Underground, Soft Cell, Joy Division and New Order. Oh, and Peaches-she rocks my socks.

12. What kind of education do you have?
I did sixth form college for a while in my teens, but I dropped out. I’m now in the last few weeks of a fine art degree, I’m interested in installation, curating, drawing and painting, but my main specialisation is photography-to quote Lydia in ‘Beetlejuice’, at present My whole life is a dark room. One big dark room.

13. Why did you join? To meet peeps, also I’d like to get some of my writing ‘out there’, and get some input.

14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away...I’ll spare you the shit about anima/animus-I’m a woman. [/size][/size]
