Gothic Test

[Nihilistic Seraph]

Hey, don't generalise. That's a very small group of people. I took that list into the Christian Fellowship at my school and read it out loud, they were all in tears laughing.

And, for all we know, Cathara might have whipped that up for her satirical purposes.

My goth count= 16 out of 36. I'm more than 1/3 goth!

The only piercing I've considered would be if I could get a feather of ma'at stud to pierce my tongue. I've played around with the idea of full-length wing tattoos on my back, too- and wondered about the possibility of a feather of ma'at tattoo on the tongue if a stud could not be found. But... ouch! I don't think I'd ever do that.^_^'

I just had to laugh when I read the one about "associating with other people who dress, act, or speak eccentrically." Who else would put up with me?!O_o

I take drugs, but they're prescribed by my doctor- probably don't count, but I'm not striking it as it is technically true.^_^' (at least I'm an honest covert goth)

My arms are covered in scars from cuts, and to a certain extent they are self-inflicted. I'm the one who chose to work in a veterinary clinic, after all.^_~

I don't dislike sunlight- I kind of worship it, actually. Literally. But I also burn easily, so I do avoid it sometimes...

Count Chocula is a goth-related food! ROFLMFAO!!!! rofl Now I must have some- and raise my goth point one more notch.^_~

But yeah, if a kid just wants to be alone for a while they automatically get four strikes against them, so I think that setting the limit at five was a little too low.^_^

Oh, that one's nothing...there's a similar one at www.truechristian.com that's hilarious.

It claims the ankh was used to worship Baal. rofl

Their site also denounces the Wiggles, any Christians who use the ichthus as a symbol, and all sorts of other ludicrous things.

It's funny in their misinformation, but it's very scary that these people are serious.

That....that's is pretty funny.

But considering the bottom of this page,

http://www.truechristian.com/atheists.html

I'm more inclined to think it's a parody page.

Jesus was an American!

Oooo, I'm game. Sounds like fun to see if I'm goth. I always thought I had the potential, I just never got the chance to really be part of the goth culture. Here goes:

Quote:

- Frequently wears black clothing. Hey, I was a techie in theatre. Can you blame me?
- Wears band and/or rock t-shirts.
- Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nailpolish. For a time I tried lots of black eyeliner....
- Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include: reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other Satanic worshipping symbols. But maybe I should start. wink
- Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos.
- Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music.
- Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically. ROFL!! Understatement of astronomical proportions.
- Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports. Yeah, being told you're going to hell and hockey are real wholesome activities....
- Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan. Yep, all of them. Satan? Yeah, I'm interested in angels. Check the ancient Hebrew translation of the word stn. wink
- Takes drugs. Only when given and if I can verify who made them, how, and whether they were qualified to make them properly, and in the proper dosage to create entheogenic effects.
- Drinks alcohol. Sure, just like Noah, Abraham, and most of the other people in the Bible. Why? Don't you? Noah walked with God you know.
- Is suicidal and/or depressed. Not if you put it in the present tense.
- Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation. Oh maybe someday if I really gain that much interest in edge play, but probably not.
- Complains of boredom. Great Ghu! Everyone's Goth!!
- Sleeps too excessively or too little. Alternately, but yes.
- Is excessively awake during the night. Woot! Creatures of the night!
- Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light.
- Demands an unusual amount of privacy. Only from fundies.
- Spends large amounts of time alone.
- Requests time alone and quietness. No solitary prayer for you Jimmy!
- Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult. Um.... I am an adult, and prefer adults' company.
- 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. Watch out! The cheerleading squad and the wrestling team are Goth!!!
- Eats goth-related foods. Count Chocula cereal is an example of this. ROFL!!! rofl rofl rofl .... rofl lol .... Sorry, I eat wholesome Christian, blessed-by-the-God-of-Abraham Cheerios only.
- Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood. I can't say it doesn't sound fascinating, based on the magickal power such a thing could signify.
- Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources. Sorry, I don't watch Fox News. Or really much of any TV at all. I occasionally get to view John Stewart's Daily Show on that den of iniquity, Comedy Central though. I get a half point for that.
- Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature.
- Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer. Heh... sweatdrop
- Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music. Well, I make pentagrams, but rarely upside down, and even then only for banishing. I'm just not big enough into the Christian mythos to have any interaction with Satan. Sorry. Oh wait, you're talking about the bullhorns hand sign! Hey Bush does it, why can't we? Go Longhorns?...
- Dances to music in a provocative manner. Heh, guilty as sin. twisted
- Is homosexual and/or bisexual. I guess I get a point, but I'm neither. I'm spiritosexual. I'm attracted to a person's soul. Gender just doesn't determine my interest. I can find a guy handsome or a girl beautiful, but the actual gender itself doesn't come into play as a determinating factor.
- Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism. I didn't know philosophy was a religion... or a cult.... Wicca a cult...hehe.... If you saw the divisions in Wicca, you'd think the Baptists and Methodists could get along.
- 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.

17.5 out of 36. Not bad. I thought I'd get more. I can't believe I actually knew people like this once back in undergrad.

Woo! Another theatre techie!

Reminds me of a game a techie friend of mine told me the techs would play during intermission. They would stand in a circle and pass a ball around, but they had to be as quiet as possible. Apparently it would look quite odd to a passerby, seeing a large group of people all dressed in black and standing in a circle solemly tossing a neon ball about.

Hahaha. Only techies understand techies. cool We, the stagehands, used to go back into the scene shop (just to the side of the theatre area, where we wouldn't be heard) and played a card game called BS (yes, I know what it means) during lulls in the shows. It was great.  

[Nihilistic Seraph]

Did you build your set also? For us, the whole set was built with the aim of making sure the actors wouldn't hurt themselves.

Ok! I'm done the bridge platform thing!

Uh, the actors would probably fall off. Put up a railing.

Ok! The railing is done!

Sand it down perfectly, the actors would get splinters and moan about it

Yes, actors have a tendency to get themselves hurt on the simplest structure a techie can come up with.

Techie: "Here, I brought you a chair that we bought at the local furniture store."

Actor: *goes to sit down and slips off and bangs their head* lol

You know the bookstore I work in has a print of some photoart of old looking text of Macbeth posted up there. I can't help but wonder if that's why working there sucks so much.... lol

The 'What are pagans? What do they believe?' bit at the bottom of
this page
is absolutely hilarious.
It's amazing how ignorant some people manage to be.
