I R TEH GOTH
This made me giggle.
-Frequently wears black clothing. Nope.
-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts. I wear a New Kids on the Block t-shirt fairly regularly. I had no idea.
-Wears excessive black eye makeup,lipstick or nail polish. I don't wear makeup period, so no on this one.
-Wears any odd silver jewelry or symbols. No, but the idea of a silver pentagram belly button ring just struck me as funny.
-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos. I just had a conversation the other day about getting my eyebrow pierced. Thoughts?
-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music. (Marilyn Manson
claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please
discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.) Will someone please explain to me the phrase "anti-social genres of music"? I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this one.
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically. Oh, I am fucked on this one. Eccentric doesn't BEGIN to describe some of my friends.
-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports. HAHAHAHAHA.
-Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan. I'm having a bake sale for Satan this weekend.
-Takes drugs. No comment.
-Drinks alcohol. I haven't been doing much drinking lately. I've been hankering for a beer, so I'll have to round up all my teacher friends who should be finishing up their school year this week.
-Is suicidal and/or depressed. Hi, welcome to my age group. I know more people who are depressed than who aren't.
-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation.(This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local mental health center.) I don't think it counts if it's just because I'm clumsy.
-Complains of boredom. Heh.
-Sleeps too excessively or too little. I don't care what anyone says--12 hours is not excessive for me.
-Is excessively awake during the night. These people are starting to piss me off.
-Demands an unusual amount of privacy.
**This is the point in our show at which I have to get ready for work, so I'll finish this later.**
-Spends large amounts of time alone.
-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your chid may speak to
evil sprits through meditation.) -Insists on spending time with friends
while unaccompanied by an adult.
-Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and elders are but a
few examples of this.
-Misbehaves at school.
-Misbehaves at home.
-Eats excessively or too little
-Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of this.
-Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood. (Vampires believe
this is how to attain Satan. This act is very dangerous and should be
stopped immediately.) -Watches cable television or any other corrupted media
sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may
watch.) -Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature.
-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer.

-Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism, Scientology,
Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism.
-Wears pins, stickers or anything else that contains these various phrases:
"I'm so gothic, I'm dead", "woe is me", "I'm a goth".
-Claims to be a goth.
You may be asking yourself why I am awake at 5:42am. The answer has two parts. The first is the good part: I recently got a promotion at my job. Now, in addition to my regular operator duties at the medical exchange where I work, I am also a system technician, which means I share on-call duties for technical problems with a couple of other people on a weekly rotation. Not only this, but I am also now being referred to as "head technician", which really means that I'm the one who does the office bitchwork but I don't get paid any more. Bygones. And this leads to the second part, which is that due to a power outage, I had to go in to the office at 4:00 this morning. And I have to be back there at 7. Le sigh. Despite (or maybe because of) my lack of sleep right now, I'm still pretty excited about it. My job is easy and moderately interesting, and I really like the people with whom I'm working. Particularly one cute boy who drug me to see Episode III last night at midnight. Better than the last two, that's for damn sure.
