Huh... funny, the one Satanist I know doesn't always wear black... she can also spell properly.

So no, he's not necessarily a Satanist, just someone who needs to use his fucking spell-checker.

I don't really. I listen to goth music of all kinds, and I dress that way. But I tend to associate my dress more with visual kei than with goth.

Well, show some typing skills and some intelligence and maybe people won't be mean to you.

I don't consider myself gothic. When I was a younger teen (13-14) I started getting into different sorts of music ranging from crusty old school punk rock to Industrial, and sort of dressed in the goth style.

I don't label myself now, though. I've been depressed, so much that I tried to kill myself with a Tylenol overdose (10th grade, bad idea because it's a slow and painful death as your liver and kidneys shut down). I was lucky I got to the hospital only four hours after or I could have been seriously fucked.

I don't know why I even talk about this. I've decided suicide is stupid for my situation, and I'm going to die someday anyway so I might as well live as long as I can. Doesn't stop me from smoking though.

Wow. Just. Fucking wow. Btw:
Google Search, Define: stroy.
No definitions were found for stroy.
Suggestions:
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.


Kid, here's a fucking clue (pay attention closely this first one is free), next time someone sees your bad attitude ass somewhere pretending to be something you'll never be (an evil Harry Potter) and they happen to wonder if you are indeed a Satanist, why not pretend then that you have a sliver of intelligence and say "No" or "Yes". Then walk away.

Or you can fire your black magic missiles at them.

I'm probably about 10 years older than you, so you don't get to call me childish. Even though I am.

And that post wasn't a "simple question". You asked us to "share your story", and you did so by giving a jumbled account of a pathetic mall-"persecution" scene, littered with spelling errors so grave it looked like you wrote it with mittens on.

Next time, do fucking better. This is a board for literate people, some of whom have a low tolerance for lazy syntax. A message board is not a real-time medium, so frequent abbreviations and netspeak is totally unnecessary.

If in doubt, this site is your friend: http://dictionary.reference.com/

But, on topic - I've been called "witch" (by a little kid, it was kinda cute) "fag", "transvestite", but never a satanist. My best tip for such occasions would be to have a couple of quick smartass retorts on the ready, if you are able. Using the argument that priests also wear black does not qualify as smartass, as its logic is clearly flawed.

Anyway, I don't get comments like that anymore. I rarely wear spikes, make-up or any other stereotypically goth signifiers except for my shiny Doc Marten's. I go for the classically understated, vaguely militaristic early-80's post-punk style. Like, more Joy Division than Alien Sex Fiend.

A little late, but of course I love you, Fenris! Also, Visual Kei and all of that other Japanese alternative goodness rocks, Black_Gestalt! Satanist? Pfff... I'm a convert into Catholocism. Sorry if I'm going off topic... either it's late or the topic of this tread is hard to follow so I just sound stupid.

I will be off topic by saying that I love the "Purple Eyebrowed One" thing. That's very funny and true. ^^

Just take your time typing. I prefer whole words when compared to bad grammar and spelling which can sometimes make things hard to read.

Why do you type in a hurry? If you don't have the time to post then you oughtn't. I know that sounds unkind, but its true. I am assuming you are human and therefore must use your wisdom to only participate in as many things as you have time to.
Also, don't take things so sensatively. They are trying to help you, really. No one takes a person who can't type seriously. Learning to type isn't that hard. You just need to practice correctly. Posting on a message can be that (if you type correctly, again). Or try transcribing your favorite lyrics...

They do know you, or at least the stereotype of people who ask simular questions and type similarily. And its true, many stereotypes come from truth.

You are new so I am not about to flame you, also because there is a another person on this board who doesn't just misspell, they commit every offense to the written word and they never get called on the carpet about it so why should you?

HOWEVER (and know that my spelling at times makes Webster flip around his coffin a few times a week) unless one's ass is on fire or they are typing at gunpoint, I do not see how lack of time plays an issue. I'd recommend that if you DO have something to add and would like to, and are short on time, that you maybe type it out but wait until you can come back and check it real quick before hitting 'Submit'.

And enjoy your stay here on gothic....
