Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Pfffffft! Hey, man, I realized awhile ago that I look a right arse in velvet and frills. Plus, I'm lazy as f00k, and those clothes require maintenance to look their best. I can't be bothered. So jeans and tees it is. Actually, I'm more into retro stuff like flares and big sunglasses these days, anyway...along with the big chains and hoodies. Basically, I wear whatever the hell I like (and whatever fits - as a 6'1" girl, that's often a challenge, you know! ), and my clothing choices don't necessarily fit neatly into a single "genre".
Actually I think I'm turning into some kind of Hippie. I fell asleep listening to Hendrix with candles burning last night, having dreams like I'd had a serious dose and woke up at 5am (luckily). Oh and I've always got 'The Fear'.
Yes,I'm a goth alright.Although I spent most of the 80's thinking I was a punk.
I'd never heard the term "Goth" until around 88,someone told a joke,something like "Q:What's black and purple and lies in the gutter? A:a dead goth".I'm there doing my best Carl McCoy and ask "What's a goth then?",The answer came along the lines of "You are,you stupid hippy!"
I always considered myself as a punk,I dressed in black as some of the bands I liked did "The Stranglers","Crass" etc.They weren't goth.
Some of the post/positive punk bands I was into are now standard goth fare
"Siouxsie","Damned","Cure" etc ,but no-one referred to them as goth in those days.
Even "The Sisters","The Mish" and "The Neph" never referred to themselves as goth in the day.
I've been a Sid clone,a Mohawk,a dusty cowboy,the lot.It all seemed a natural proggression of punk to me.
Even when I was raving my tits off to psi-trance in the 90's,it was still punk to me.The clothes were different,so was the music but the punk spirit was still there.
When I returned to the goth scene in 2000,I discovered that Goth had now become a catch all term to describe all 80's based alternative music and,in that case then,I am indeed proud to be a GOTH!
The photographs of God I bought have almost faded away
"And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what's after it. And then you start hoping there is a God. For me, it's a frightening thought to go nowhere".

Nope.........never...........'cause GOFFS are vermin'!!!
Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"
