have we done the sisters/geek conection thread yet?¿?¿

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.

i can't remember, so i'll do it again (or possibly for the first time), is it just me, or do a high number of sisters fans happen to be in the it field?¿?¿

i like the sisters
i used to be a goth
i work in the field lovingly know as 'new media'

i have a feeling many people here work in similar fields (i know quiffy does for sure, i know sinnie used to, etc etc etc)

so now we have a reasonably large number of posters, what do you do to pay for all the sisters records they don't release these days?¿?¿?¿

I think I'm a bit unique, then--I work in old media (meaning publishing with, like, paper and ink). And what's worse, a literary publisher, not even sci-fi or fantasy or anything geeky. I'm not really a geek anyway--I'm a nerd. :wink: :roll: :?

I dunno what this "new media" is but if it involves web and e-mail servers then count me in.

I'm probably the worst kind of geek as I know my way around a linux box and code PHP for fun in my spare time.

i like the sisters,
i am still among the goth fraternity,
im not remotely anything to do with the media or computers,or anything remotely of that ilk at all.
although i do dabble in writing here and there.
job title wise i come under the category of mum.
and i covet individualism in all things. :D

yes, i believe, probably you are unique in many ways but not in this point:

I work as an editor in a literary magazine, monthly magazine of Estonian Writers' Union - very traditional one (founded in 1923, by the way).
I don't know almost anything about computers - well, I can post my messages here, send and receive e-mails, listen to mp3s and watch video files, type my own articles, burn and copy CD-s... but that's almost all I can do :)
Back to the topic:
of course, I like Sisters very much.
Have I been a goth? To be honest... don't know. Yes, I have dyed my hair black many years. And years ago my ex-girlfriend made some experiments with my face ( I mean make-up) and nails. It happened maybe a couple of times in my life. And yes, yes, I have been interested in g-music but not so much anymore (I mean real g-music, not Sisters).

None too geekish...

I like the Sisters
My students unerringly identify me as a goth, on the basis that I have long black hair & a bloody sight more silver jewellery than any of them get away with
I'm a Yorkshire-based teacher
Queen of the mean!

Cool! Nice to meet another paper-pushing pencil scratcher with enough basic compu-skills to get by--but not to hack the Pentagon. :notworthy:

Nerd!!! :wink: ;D

Oh, and I'm not goth, but I have dabbled (i.e., I use any excuse to play dress up!).

I still quite like The Sisters.
I upload things for goths.
I don't work in IT, I'm a primary school teacher, but I was the ICT Co-ordinator at my last school in Salford if that counts. Don't imply any great understanding from that though. Mind you, I've resigned to move back to Leeds, with nothing lined up yet so life is one long holiday at the moment. I have suggested to Mrs JansenClone that this is the perfect opportunity for me to fulfil my ambitions to become a kept man but she doesn't seem all that keen. In fact she responds with a very graphic and disturbing hand gesture whenever I mention it...
I am a Leeds United fan because I was very naughty in a previous life.

I've always liked the Sisters.
I'm the only Goth I know in Glasgow.
I work in the Sales Dept for a rather well known Telecommunications Company.

Geek or Cool? - I was the only guy in Secondary school with long hair and into the Sisters :von:

I work in Global Corporate Travel Management ...but as soon as I have earned/won/embezzled enough ca$h, I will jack it all in and buy a VW Camper van and go and live in Cornwall. And learn to surf. :D

I am also a computer illiterate. PC's are for chatting with friends. Nothing else. :wink:
