Guten Tag!!! Call me "evil_hell" or Arius whichever suits you best! I hope to meet some like minded individuals....I've read the suggestions for introduction and well, here are my answers: (think about response 14 "critically" before you flame)
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I’m a mature Univ. student looking to change his career from crappy high tech sweatshop job to a more satisfying career in music, i.e., the “imitation of the divine”. I’m, a composer at heart but from a ‘practical’ viewpoint I want to be a music teacher…And when I feel inspired I write not only music but also poetry…
2. Where are you from?
T-Dot. (Toronto or Hollywood North in case you’re wondering)
3.. Who is your favorite author?
Whoa, too many to list…Rice, King, Goethe, Wilde, Shakespeare….
4. What are your favorite films?
Immortal Beloved, Amadeus, Dracula 1992, and any cheesy b-rated horror/sci-fi movies your can muster…I love’em all
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
Either the “Brandenburg Concerto No.3” by Herr Johann Sebastian Bach OR
”Ode to Joy” from the 9th Symphony Chorale by Herr Ludwig Van Beethoven
6. At your funeral?
Either “Requiem” by Herr Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart OR
Love Song for a Vampire by Annie Lennox
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Whilst composing a masterpiece wherein I get a glimpse of divinity…
As Beethoven did when he was in the woods one day and wrote in his journal: “Holy, Holy ecstasy in the woods!!! Who can express it all?” And yes, just like Herr Von Beethoven, I LOVE red wine...who knows, maybe I'll pass out whilst under the influence and writing my masterpiece...
8. What kind of casket would you want?
The shape of a treble clef.
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
All things dark and evil…but mostly bondage jeans, Demonia Boots (Gravel 14 and Ravage II) at one extreme…at the other extreme I’d wear Victorian clothing; yes the cheesy Elegant brocade fitted tail coat in chancery design with matching Brocade jeans and pointy Dracula Winkle pickers...I buy my clothing from

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Not having a care in the world…my youthful spirit…before the weight of the world crushed it! Lousy world! **shakes fist**
11. What's your favorite band?
Honestly I don’t have a favorite per se, but I do enjoy anything that has a dark(er) theme, so any metal i.e., Blind Guardian, Tristania, Yngwie Malmsteen, et. al. (no major labels!), industrial music (Rammstein) is good but above all classical, as I am a hardcore neo-classicist and post-romanticist!!

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I was an electronics major, but I got all stressed out from working in that field and opted out because there are too many shit heads working in that field (i.e. bend over and take it up the ass) so I opted for a field that more closely matches what’s in my heart (which is music) regardless of money!!!
13. Why did you join?
I hope to hook up with like-minded individuals who share my view of this so-called world…
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Male, and No, I’m not a feminist…In fact, I believe in a totally phallocentric, Eurocentric, male dominated western canon for all the arts that excludes all “others”...Why? Because masterpieces are divinely inspired. I believe in a divine intervention in the arts and that NOT everyone is an artist (as most post-modernists will preach, don’t get me started on that shit head Andy warhol…what a loser...and yes, modernism and post-modernism sucks!)...Yes, go ahead and flame away…I simply don’t care because the more you flame, the more the western art canon gets reified (i.e., is made more supreme and almighty). There is a clear distinction between divinely inspired art and “degenerate” art lol and yes, jazz music sucks too!!!
Obviously, you are free to share other interesting or pertinant information, but we thought it would be nice to give you some guidelines for the basics.
Hmm…I would but…after question 14, I don’t know...Maybe I would stir up too much controversy…even on a "gothic" board.:lol:
