Where's the rest of it?

I know what gothic is. In fact, I was gothic for a brief period. I was a flying buttress.

I'm not kidding.

Bacon angst...?

I was called a goth through most of high school.

I hated high school.

I've never been labelled as a goth either. I don't think there's really any goth in me, other than the fact that I do like clothing from the Victorian era. I get "band geek" way more than I get "goth".

NinjaKasumi123 Can you see?

Ok, being at my advanced age compared to everyone else around here. This is what a goth is in the sense of culture, not arcitecture.

Goths were people who liked to dress up in victorian style clothes and listen to bands such as bauhaus. My friends who are old school goths like to dress beautifully, were attracted to the dark side of life without being whinny wankers and were intellegent people. I had almost forgotten what goths really looked like until I went to the club last monday and saw women dressed in these fabulolus victorian style dresses (black of course) and men with nice coats and trousers. Not quite actual victorian but a variation of.

Fastforward to the year 2004-6. Now, to be labled a goth all you need to do is wear black, whine alot about your parents and look depressed. A far cry from the goths I used to know. In fact, I was once labled as goth because I was wearing a black Ramones shirt and a black pair of pants. Back in the day no one in their right mind would have mistaken me for a goth.

And Arche is right, is has been watered down to be sold to the general public so they can be alternitive and undergroud in order to fit in with everyone else.

Take no offense from this, but you remind me of that girl from the manga "Wallflower".

That's awesome Toby! I want that hat A friend of mine from MN says they sell them at Valley Fair...What were you saying in the clip? Toby, you know you're just adorable, weird and dorky all at the same time

I agree. Omg!11one! Talent!
You're.. so.. cute.
You really remind me of a friend I have who is exactly like you.

The wearing of victorian style clothes is more of a base. There's a darker feel/attitude that not necessarily angsty, but just plain dark side of life. This is really what makes someone Goth. Just dressing in Victorian clothing won't do it and is really only the equivalent of wearing a halloween costume all the time. Envy is also right about the intellectual side of at least old school Goth. They were the ones who typically would say things that got you thinking .

If it was at valley fair I probably would have paid 20 dollars more for it and it'd be 5 times shoddier.

I picked it up at Fashion Bug for $1.98. Clearance rocks my socks.

It wasn't me talking; that was Kate. I think she said "Do a victory pose". (I cut down the clip, since it shows me trying about ten times and failing.)

Bacon: I like the other one better. You know, the one where you had a chainsaw and a demonic glow around you. This one looks normal.

I liked that one too.

Bacon bits just looks too smexy! I think i'll add you to my list of the smexiest guys on the planet.

I actually do have a decent picture of myself, which is shocking really....Normally cameras and I have a rocky relationship, at best.

This is when I got my hair cut after Graduation last summer, and donated all of it to Locks of Love (the organization that makes wigs for children who have lost their hair through chemotherapy and such). So you can see me, the triumphant victor in the battle against my extremely curly hair. All for a good cause.

Hooray for pictures.

(And yes, it was a little windy that day, so my hair was blown into my face a bit.)

Heh, thanks for the compliments, everyone.

You guys really know how to make people feel welcome and at home, and I really appreciate it.
