Cain

Pleased to meet you, i'm sure; not really hoping you'll catch my name (wich isn't even Cain, it's acctually even less "original"), since i've got nothing too puzzling to share with you. Anyway, i have no particular sympahty for the Devil, but i do enjoy getting carried away by the "dark" waves on ocasion... My tastes in aesthetics go more with campy than shocking. I love feeling a bit awestruck, but horror never did quite do anything for me. Like wise, in music, i prefer punkish, alternative or ambiental orientated bands to metal or industrial gothic.
Well, enough of that, on with the "interogatoire":

1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I love to sleep, waste time on things that "won't get you anywhere in life, boy!" while i'm awake; ammm.. i like cigarettes, cold beer and hot wine... preety ordinary stuff.

2. Where are you from?
A grey little place in Romania (no, not Transylvania! a couple of hundred km south of it; and no, i never did see any vampires in Transyvania.. and people are usually quite nice there, too).

3. Who is your favorite author?
I just have to name two.. i have a special liking for Franz Kafka and Siegmund Freud; they were both such beautiful nuts.. and whatever they had, i'm sure one of them bit the other at some time. My mentioning Freud here may seem out-of-place; but rational thinking isn't my forte, so i preety much take his works to heart as pieces of phantastic literature..

4. What are your favorite films?
Don't enjoy those much.. but i did like "Girl Interrupted" a lot (a good performance was Jolie's managing not to spoil it! anyway, i'm a bit of a Ryder fan, aldo i haven't seen too many of her films)

5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
I don't plan on having one; but, if it should come to that... Miranda Sex Garden's "Peepshow"

6. At your funeral?
"Barbie's dead" (UK Subs) seems most fitting for the ocasion.

7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Roadkill comes to mind... but, actually, i would just love waking up one morning with a fast droping pulse and realizing that i won't have to get up early ever again!

8. What kind of casket would you want?
A cheap-all black plastic bag would do for me.

9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
No clothes on. I usually wear it to the shower, i like hanging around there (i'm not obscenly lazy, i'm just a "down-shifter", you see...).

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Having a good excuse to allways act like one.

11. What's your favorite band?
I suppose that would officially be Garbage, but it really depends on the day of the week, phase of the moon, hormonal soup, (sometimes!) alcohol intake and so on... tough candidates from the "dark side" would be the Banshees and Nina Hagen, but not just them.

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
Well, it could have been worse; the only courses i ever failed were latin, technological education, physics, genetics& evolutionism (aldo i really liked that! may the Devil take that wretched old woman...), PC operating, pedology (does this term even exist in english?!).. they all presented a common problem: too early in the morning or too late in the afternoon. In conclusion... i suppose i'm far less than "highly educated", but at least i managed to keep my fragile neurons fresh and happy.

13. Why did you join?
If anyone's expecting some higher reason, they're risking a minor dissapointment. I'm really just hoping to enjoy myself here.

14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Doc said i was a boy; it still is most people's opinion as well. I would comment, but i suppose i lack the objectivity...

Hello and welcome! Nice intro, I think you'll do well here. I'm told that Romania has some breathtaking scenery- any beautiful old monasteries, wolf-haunted forests or crumbling ruins in your area?

Thank you kindly.
Yes, the wolf-haunted forests are still abundant in this area, in spite of the ever growing non-sapiens population. But, while wolves still firmly hold on to their domains, the bears have almost become rarities, while lynxes and forest bisons have been gone for many decades. Well, on the bright side, we do still have plenty of caves crawling with bats here - not to mention one of the largest remaining populations of black vipers in Europe.
There is little in the way of impresive medieval castles and monasteries in this part of the country. The land is even now, for the most part, rugged and unwellcoming to people. Most traces of the past here are discrete, ussually hidden in caves and ancient river beds. Some are very, very old, from paleolithic times. Others are medieval left-overs... but the most famous site is a stone-age town belonging to a pre indo-european culture (Vinca) that seems to have widely worshiped wolves in those late totemic times (along with the "new" mother-deities). So, yes, the region does have it's charms (most modern day human dwellings not included!).
