watch out for that dangerous cult religion of philosophy. you wouldnt actually want your child to learn to think on their own, now would you!

I do those things... well not so much the makeup anymore, and I took out my piercings. How bout..... "Is refered to as, "Gothic" in nature by her peers".... cause people seem to love to label me as so.
I masturbate...and eat count chocula...and sleep alot...and don't eat much....and listen to goth music....and wear rocker tees....OH NO! I'm STILL GOTHIC! I thought I'd stopped that when I made cheerleading squad! Holly
Count Dracula cereal? It's Count CHOCula, silly Christian folks. I wouldn't let my child eat Count Chocula anyhow....because I already ate it & there's none left.
YUMMM! SUGAR....it might be evil, but it goes hand in hand with masturbation! Eat suger, get hyper, masturbate! Holly
now i could say that nasty little parodies like that only serve to make christians and goths alike look like intolerant assholes, but i have a few bees in my bonnet lately, so i'm going to snicker maliciously and foreward it to a friend instead. i dated a guy for awhile who was totally into the sXe scene, but nonetheless had a bizarre vampire fetish - no drugs or alcohol, just blood, thank you. i wouldn't let him cut me. fuckin' weirdo. i was into the goth scene when i was pregnant with my first child. don't ask me where we found it, but i somehow managed to get my hands on a black velvet maternity dress. anyway, i was toxemic and ended up in the hospital for over a month of the worst hell i have ever experienced. the hospital knew i was pagan, because i had put it down on the forms (although somehow they could not get it through their heads i was 25 and not 19) and i guess some of the doctors had issues with the black dress and the witches' bible by my bedside. one of the doctors actually started an investigation to "prove" i was going to sacrifice my beautiful baby boy and make flying oinment out of him or something - before he was even born! he wanted to have damien removed from my custody before i even saw him. he succeeded only in making a royal ass of himself, and managed to piss everybody off, (and hopefully, since he was only a 4th year resident, jeopardized his careeer) and when my family threatened a lawsuit he hastily dropped the whole thing. i didn't find out about it until my dad told me later. you better believe i was beside myself with fury when i found out. the hospital told me he had been "reprimanded". not good enough. i wanted him drawn & quartered. i don't do the goth thing any more, as, after my 2nd child, i no longer fit into most of my cool vintage stuff, and fishnets now have a tendency to make my thighs look like 2 dolphins trapped in a tuna net. worse still i have developed a *serious* allergy to black hair dye, nail polish and aqua net (which is what many female goths tend to breathe instead of oxygen.) this was a crushing blow from which i still haven't recovered. i still listen to the music occaisionally. however, my current husband (such as he is) still considers himself a "rivethead" - we met through the "corpse respondents" pen-pal page on the old dark side of the web.
Now that's just fucking ridiculous... I would hope it did seriously jeoperdize his career, what an ass...
If you didn't force people into it before they could think for themselves, do you really think it would still be around? It's a self-perpetuating social virus for the most part... Theres a good article about that at totse.com, but I don't remember what it's called....
Whoops, about 12 apply to me - didn't know I was Goth... Thought I was something like the opposite. Stupid stuff - but funny.
