Do you yoke impossible words together for the sound-sex of it?
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I, like so many people, work in retail for meager pay in order to pay for school. I enjoy reading and writing, though I have regretfully neglected doing both for too long. I practice martial arts; vegetate before the time-sink that is my video game console, and study several subjects, majoring in two specifically.
2. Where are you from?
I’m come from a city of little consequence in a state of little substance.
3. Who is your favorite author?
Though I have loved a great many author, Oscar Wilde and Jules Verne will forever have a place in my heart. Stephen Fry, a truly extraordinary genius of a man that that he is, once said about Oscar Wilde, “…there have been few greater or more complete lords of language in the past thousand years…” I’m inclined to agree. As for Verne, I read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea when I was younger, and it still captivates me as it did then, as do his other works.
4. What are your favorite films?
I will admit, I am not the most erudite concerning cinema. Movies I greatly enjoy are V for Vendetta, Goodfellas, Resevoir Dogs, The Boondock Saints, all Miazaki films, a great many of Mel Brooks’s movies, and Lord of War, just to name a few.
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
Truthfully I have not given my wedding much, if any, thought towards my wedding. This is due in no small part to the fact I simply don’t place much if any value on weddings and marriage. I understand the cultural importance of both, and I can even appreciate the wedding ceremony as a symbol of making a relationship, “official,” or, “proper”, sealing the deal, if you would. It still does not, however, instill any sense of urgency or importance.
I fear I’ve rambled too much. To answer the question, I suppose my fiancé will be the one choosing the music.
6. At your funeral?
I am nonplussed over this question. Why would one care in the slightest about the music played at their funeral. I can understand your relatives placing some importance on your funeral’s soundtrack, but surely you won’t be bothered regardless of what is played. I don’t personally subscribe to the belief of a hereafter, so for all I care you may use my corpse as mulch in your garden.
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
This is a most foolish question. Surely no healthy person wants to die. I suppose if I had to chose how I died, I would prefer it to be after saying something incredibly brilliant and witty, much like some of Oscar Wilde’s last words*:
“My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go”
8. What kind of casket would you want?
Refer to question six. For all that it means to me, you may bury me in a shoe box.
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
I’m fond of all my clothing, being that I bought it, but I suppose my favorite outfit is whichever meets the criteria of being clean and on hand.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
I’m afraid I don’t have the same relish for childhood that most people do. **
11. What's your favorite band?
I enjoy a wide spectrum of music, such as:
BB King, Fats Domino, Muddy Waters, Pyotr Tchaiovsky, Ludwig van Beethoven, ZZ Top, Minor Threat, Crass, Black Flag, Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys, Blind Guardian, Slipknot, Sage Francis, Run DMC, Christian Death, The Sisters of Mercy, Alien Sex Fiend, Reverend Horton Heat, Zombie Ghost Train, Nekromantix, Angelspit, KMFDM, Oomph, etc.
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I am currently in college studying Political Science and Anthropology. I intend on pursuing a doctorate in Anthropology, though I have yet to decide on a focus therein.
13. Why did you join?
I browsed many message boards, and this was the only one that didn’t immediately cause me to recoil.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
As far as I’m concerned, being any gender is a drag – Patti Smith
*I’m more than well aware he didn’t actually say this immediately before his death.
** I was tempted to play off the use of the word relish, making a great many terrible pickle puns. My better senses prevailed
