Well, here we go, then.
There was a lovely set of questions that makes things so simple.
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I am a fiction author and general crafty individual. I'm working up stock for a book shop, and I'm hoping to scrape by on the crazy stories I put on paper.
2. Where are you from?
A very un-magical land known as "Virginia." I'll be in Seattle, one day.
3. Who is your favorite author?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde
4. What are your favorite films?
The Village. Sherlock Holmes. Edward Scissorhands. Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland. Howl's Moving Castle. Spirited Away. Some others, but I think that's enough time on that question...
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
If I ever happen to have one, some kind of electric chamber music. That's all I can think of at the moment.
6. At your funeral?
"If I Ever Leave This World Alive" comes to mind.
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Provided it is not in sleep, in some sort of bang. Being a hero and helping someone.
8. What kind of casket would you want?
As if I'd care. But, honestly, I admire black lacquer and green satin.
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
Plain canvas shoes, trousers, beige vest, black shirt, dark brown leather trench coat and first year Slytherin scarf.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
When people said "It'll be okay," you actually believed them.
11. What's your favorite band?
Muse
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
High school diploma, not planning college. /opens stainless steel umbrella
13. Why did you join?
Because I get bored and I'm in a rental -- no shooting of the walls.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Whatever you feel like calling me is fine. I prefer to go by personality rather than gender.

Stainless steel umbrella? Like that would help.
Welcome to this place. I look forward to your contributions.

Re: umbrella. But it makes a really cool sound when things are thrown at it.
Thanks.

point of clarification: he is a sockpuppet, not a troll.

It's a dude on the internet who posts merely to get a rise out of people.
We're theorizing he's one of our regular members trolling with a separate account just to keep things lively, or a new failed troll that isn't very good at it, but we're almost certainly sure he's not a real person because no one can possibly be THAT angsty and THAT bad at poetry.

If you find a matched set, let me know? I've lost my favorite pair of socks recently...

Well, all he said was hi, and I have no idea who you're talking about, so. When he passes the rolls and whatnot, I'll say thanks. Good luck on the hunt, however.

Dude I hate when that happens. I had this pair of really soft black socks that were the perfect thickness but a couple of weeks ago one of them inexplicably disappeared. I'm still kind of hoping it will show up somewhere, maybe we'll find it when we move in a couple of months.

I am not a troll. I am just voicing my opinion and these people cannot take it.

Do you? You have claimed to be both Kontan and Genghis Khan.

Greetings.
Teenage fantasy, mostly, though, I've branched into somewhat of a detective fiction recently.

Your favourite band is Muse, Expecto? What did you think to the latest album? I didn't really like it myself, found it too overblown if I'm honest.

I think it is much like linkin park, their newer stuff doesn't sound like the original, but is great with some getting used to. I love Muse as well, they are a tie with LP as my #1 favorite bands.

I'm going to be honest MoC, I think Linkin Park are utter toss. If you like them though, that's cool, I don't have to listen to it

Yeah, that's cool, i grew up with them, so i'll stay a fan. Why do you dislike them though? If it isn't your cup of tea, then i understand, but the majority of people that hate them is because they are "mainstream". Which if that's the case, i'd have to slap you, then apologize, then slap you again.
