Yo. Welcome. Does your screen name come from Elystan the Renowned or did you just pick it at random?

I just wondered since I've never seen or heard that name outside Wales. Not that I know a great deal, I'm only half Welsh on my Dads side and I was born in England.

Sadly, I'm stuck in the ever so sunny South Yorkshire. It isn't very pretty here

I always get freaked out when I go that far north, I can't understand why humans would ever have migrated there in the first place. To say nothing of Scotland. York itself is a very pretty city though (unlike swansea which is a pretty shitty city). Last time I was in Yorkshire was for the Sisters gig in Leeds in February. So at least you have that.

There's actually an unusually large goth scene here for the size of the place.

Of course I'm the only real goth among them and everyone else is a lame poser, but that's just the reality I have to deal with.

Your answer to the questions didn't tell me much, but I too was won over by your banter.

Welcome to this place. I look forward to your contributions.

So its cool to be an immature "more goth than thou" type? Your quote seems to say so.

What are you trying to do, kid? Don't take responses out of context to prove your lame, butt-hurt point.
