Merry Meet and good afternoon
My name is Rae (Full first name is Lorellei-Danielle, so feel free to call me any variations of that). I am very happy to have found my way to this wonderful little site. Feel free to ask me anything to get to know me better. In the meantime, I will fill out this lovely questionnaire.
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
Currently a college student majoring in Accounting. I do graphic design, draw, ride dressage, and make cyberlox and various hair falls in my spare time.
2. Where are you from?
Born and raised in Shannon, County Clare, Ireland. Then moved to the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota.
3. Who is your favorite author?
Currently Lewis Carroll (Although i admit to have a love for Nietzsche, Kant, and Dante.)
4. What are your favorite films?
Too many! Wings of Desire, the Secret Garden, A Knights Tale, Labyrinth, and many more.
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
Something mystical, celtic, or victorian. Filled with beauty. Maybe something by Within temptation, Malice Mizer, or Emilie Autumn.
6. At your funeral?
"Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
At a convenient time... and not on the toilet.
8. What kind of casket would you want?
I'm buying a beautiful oak one for my meditation room. But a for when I die, I'd rather have a traditional Sioux funeral or be placed upon a scaffold in the Black Hills.
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
My black Victorianesque dress with the deep purple bustle. Accented with my underbust satin and leather corset, silver jewelry, a veiled hat, opera length gloves, and a lace parisol. Usually worn with a pair of Demonias. But I only ever wear this maybe twice a year.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
The assumed innocence that my elders used to think I had.
11. What's your favorite band?
I currently am listening to a lot of The Birthday Massacre. But I'd usually say something along the lines of Icon of Coil, Neuroticfish, Assemblage 23, or VNV Nation. I'm a cyber/industrial kid who has victorian and celtic tendancies. It all depends on my mood.
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
Currently attending college. I am majoring in Business with a concentration in Accounting. I used to be a mathematics and engineering major, but the programming classes killed me. I don't like c++ anymore.
13. Why did you join?
I was/am interested in meeting more people like myself, and hopefully making plenty of new friends.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Female last time I checked. But that was hours ago, so who knows now.
Darkest Blessings and Merry Part

I hate Nietzsche and I hate Kant so I guess we're not off to the best of starts.

Down with the white man.

Merry Meet, Rae!
Glad to meet another celt on this site.
I must say that I've never ehard of half of the badns that you've mentioned, but I've certainly heard of the movies that you mentioned. Labyrinth especially. If you liked that movie, I strongly recommend Pans Labyrinth. It's in Spanish, but it's subtitled.
JCC, weesht. You may not have anything in common with this girl when it comes to music, but you may have things in common with her when it comes to your veiws.

Trust me, if she reads Nietzsche and Kant then either our views are completely antithetical or she doesn't understand what she's reading.

For a philosophy major, I don't know nearly as much Kant as I ought to be able to form a legitimate opinion.

I find it very interesting that you feel that way. Perhaps one day we may discuss our different views. There is bound to be something we have in common. And if not, then there may be something I can at least learn from you.
Ophelia- Are you a member of the Movement? I am thinking about helping out, but have yet to decide.
Annwyn- I have seen Pan's Labyrinth and enjoy it greatly. And it is very nice to meet another Celt. Where are you from?

Interesting, I had some family near there in Limerick. My family's from Wexford. Was only there 'til I was 4 before we moved to Virginia. I don't remember much apart from a couple trips to Limerick. We had family there back then, in the end everyone still breathing moved to Virginia or up in Michigan.

"Dead Man's Party" was a good answer. Why didn't I think of that? Oingo Boingo should narrate my life in song, my youth falling under "Nasty Habits" and present-day with "Little Girls."

Cool. I've traveled through Fife. It seems rather nice.
Pyre- Beware if Oingo Boingo narrates your life. Last time I listened to "Nothing Bad Ever Happens to me" in the car, I got into a major car wreck. Lol

Once I was driving over the rumble strips on a road that warn you of an upcoming stop, and I noticed that they made a sound similar to the beginning of Nasty Habits. I drove over these every day while leaving work, and it never failed to amuse me; so one day while picking up a friend from work we drove over the strips, and I warned him ahead of time that he would hear something "special" (as I just introduced Oingo Boingo to him recently and he really enjoyed it), but I was too excited and in too much anticipation and I drove over the strips too slowly, so the sound was off, and he had no idea what he was listening for. I explained it to him, and as many people would, he thought I was really lame. Of course, people think that anyway of me, but such things reinforce my state of lameness.
P.S. I should start making disclaimers about boring stories. But, then no one would ever listen to me.

Just don't listen to Oingo Boingo when you choose to get them fixed. Or, if you do, listen to "Stay."

As the OP said in a previous post, she had an accident while listening to one of their songs.
