What other groups do you read that no one who knew you from a.g.f
would suspect?
For me, it's rec.arts.books.childrens.
What about you guys?

just the ones that are fairly non-goth:
alt.surrealism
alt.books.beatgeneration
occasionally, misc.consumer.frugal living (or something like that)--lots of
cool ideas there
soc.history.medieval
soc.history.ancient
rec.food.veg
plus about 10 others that aren't so unusual. I don't read all these all the
time--most I just skim every couple weeks. But I'm admittedly a Usenet

highly. And I do love a healthy (or not-so-healthy ;) ) debate...

Not yet! I'm still toying with the idea. It would be nice from the mosquito
aspect (gobble) but I've never been too keen on how I see most of the
fish taken care of in pet stores. Do I support an industry I don't admire
or take care of mosquitos some other way? I'll have to make up my mind

This is so nice to hear...I sometimes think I'm the only non-ubergoth on
this ng.
Which brings me to my question: Is anyone out there willing to fess up
to ungothlike interests, hobbies, etc. (And don't ask me to define
"ungothlike." I'll leave that up to you.)
I'll be first:
1) I love to cook, bake, etc.
2) I collect antique dolls (Okay, so the two working voodoo dolls my
mother gave me probably count as goth (Don't ask. You had to know
my mother...)
3) I also collect ugly hawaiian shirts.
4) I actually like heavy metal music.

There's nothing "ungothlike" about cooking, baking, etc. unless you want
us to dig around in the ground for small grubs to eat (which is basically
where I'm at, although I'm exaggerating bec. my uncle who's usu. in Nigeria
suddenly called up yesterday and said he was in my area and he invited
me to lunch. Out of the blue. Ask for food and the universe delivers,
heh. Actually, I'm been out food gathering because there's vegetables
in the garden. The giant garlic that I bought in Gilroy, Garlic Capital
of the World (or States), has gotten so big.)
Um, I like the 3-D puzzles. I would like to get the one of Notre Dame.
Right now, I only have one, the castle of the mad king of Bavaria.
I practice piano and I write every day, and in general, I don't
consider these to be ungothlike activities either. I am really into
crosswords puzzles, mostly bec. it's such a time killer. I play
video games, watch TV and spend entirely too much time on USENET!

I cross-stitch, which seems very old-ladyish to me, despite the fact that
I know other goths do it.
I love to bake, and am starting to enjoy cooking more. I actually love
being a homemaker--I like to think of myself as a gothic pioneer in this
sense. You should see me, vaccuuming in my velvet or cleaning in my corset
(not really, but almost!).
I'm a zinester, which has always seemed way more punk than goth to me.
That's all I can think of.

i *love* thoroughbred horse racing. there was a time in my life when my
goal was to be a racehorse trainer. and someday, after i win the lottery
or become wealthy through my own inimitable genius (ha!), i want to own a
racing stable. i already have my silks (the shirt the jockey wears - each
owner has its own design, which can't be used by *anyone* else) picked out
and designed :) i'm assuming this is not a very "goth" interest, bc/ i'm
the only young lady at the track, all in black, amongst the cigar-puffing
70-year-old men.
i dislike most goth music - i'm totally in love with industrial (always
and forever <sigh, smile>, and occasionally metal. yep, i listen to
marilyn manson and korn. my favorite band is nine inch nails. i am queen
of the poseurs!!!
i don't like comic books. i find them irritating in some unknown way.
i eat meat. a tremendous number of goths i've met are vegetarian in a HUGE
way, so it's kinda odd.
hmmm. i'm sure there's more, but i can't think of much "non-gothness"
right now. oh yeah - i currently work at a publicity firm involved in
<drumroll please> ska and punk bands, neither of them genres i'm really
enthralled with.... my GAF self touting reel big fish is a tad bit

I used to watch this show all the time (but was too embarrassed to admit it! :)

I don't know that I have anything I'd call a "hobby"--and the stuff I do is
pretty stereotypically goth (read, write, play on Usenet...) However, I
sometimes find myself at the riverboat casinos and the occasional pool hall
with my mundane friends (it's next door to my workplace.) I think Las Vegas is
the funnest place on earth. I like hiking and rock climbing (though I've yet to
do any "real" rock climbing), nature and all that kind of crap...;) And
rollerblading...swinging at the park...antiques...but I get the feeling these
are all pretty common among goths, after reading the other responses.

I wen through a big horse craze when I was younger, where for
several years damn near all I thought about was horses. I grew out of
that, but I still like horses and watching racing and equestrian
events. and I still would like a horse someday. Hell, if I lived
closer to a racetrack, I'd probably go out there sometmies too :)

I have no clue whether it could be considered 'ungothlike' or not, but I'm sure
it's an odd one, anyway... Video Editing. Well, not just editing. Digital
computer video. But hey, I've always liked 'off-normal' things. Perhaps it's
why I'm so into goth.

I dunno, I think cobbling is very BudgetGoth. It'll save lots
of money, and also it's sort of a lost art. Everything is done by
machine these days, and not many people do cobbling anymore.

Dressage is lovely to watch; it's one of my favorite events.
Were I to own a horse, I'd like to do three-day eventing. (There's
something to be said for the cross-country course. That segment is
neat to watch too.)

hitting the ground. let's just say i was in massive pain. then they told
me the whole "you need to get back on him" and i was like
"bull-fucking-shit. i'll get on *a* horse, but not *this* horse." and i
got on him, and never rode him again. after that, they allowed me to ride
my favorite horse - a big black quarterhorse named crusader :)

First of all, Lady B. and I have exchanged souls on the topics of shoes
(her fetish) and strippers (my fetish), and she *is* indeed the world's
number one shoe fetishist.
As for grocery shopping, I will step up to the plate on this one and hit
it out of the park for grocery-buying. I adore it. AAMOF, I just got home
from the market, where not only did I get everything on my list, but saved
**$25** with coupons and my discount-card-thingie. Thank you, thank you.
Please, hold your applause.
Grocery shopping is one of the most eminently relaxing things I do--it's
like meditation, cuz once you know pretty much what you need week-to-week,
you can Zen your way through the aisles without adding up the prices ("of
course this is $100 worth of stuff!") or consulting your list ("ahh, I see
there is a sale on Safflower oil. I also remember that I ran out of it
while making a curry the other night.").

I've always gone by the idea that since I'm a goth, I decide if something I do
is goth. :) Others, however, have not had as...broad a definition as I do.
so, my non-goth hobbies would probably be...
1. Figure skating. For the last several years I've just been a spectator,
but my new job is across the street from a rink so I think I'll take it up
again. I can be quite fanatical about it, and friends have learned not to
disturb me during the big competitions.
2. Vintage cartoons, especially Warner Bros. and Tex Avery.
3. I've been told I need to turn in my goth membership card because of my
enjoyment of professional wrestling (WWF only). However, I tend to regard
that as basically just the world's biggest and most extravagant live-action
roleplaying game, so I'm not sure it's as un-goth as people claim.
4. I'm one of the only goths who turns up at our local British media
convention every spring. At least, one of the only goths who turns up and
actually *participates* because I'm interested in the topic, as opposed to the
babygoths that just hang out looking dissipated and making the dear old stuffy
Britgeeks nervous.
And being a PBS pimp is probably not very goth, now that I think about it.
Though I'd wager there aren't a lot of other PBS stations who have on-air
pledge-pitchers with burgundy hair.

I don't like gory movies - how's that for not goth! :) I'm OK with
real blood though, probably from tending to our many animals.

Ungothlike interests.
Well, there *is* that Sailormoon fixation.
You all can find that post a few days ago where I listed
a lot of the moonie crap I have lying around my room
(it's taking over...)
I also collect stuff from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast"
but I really don't have a whole lot of it. I used to be a
low-key Trekker, and I do collect Data figures, but that's
not anything resembling a consuming passion.
There are a lot of fixations which would be normal were I
a Perkygoff, but alas, I am a Sarkygoff who giggles a lot.
So I don't really have much excuse for the profusion of
Sanrio things and stuffed animals sitting around my room.
Right now it's bunnies (which started cause I used to get
them every year for easter, and has somehow also been
tied into the Sailormoon collection) and frogs (which
started when people - mostly onliney friends - started
giving me frog things because of my sig. I have a morbid
fear of fish so I really hope no one gets any wise ideas
and starts sending me fish-related stuff. I used to collect
elephants, too.
I adore a lot of 1960s-present British writers, which I don't
think is particularly gawth. I think Kazuo Ishiguro could
kick Poppy's ass any day. I also like writing a lot and I
****hate**** "angsty goth poetry" and I ****hate****
most stories set "in the scene".
I like cross-stitch and painting wooden furniture with trompe
l'oeil finishes and stencilling and I used to be really into
comics, which I'm starting to get into again. I also used to
like beading, but I then decided it was a too-intricate pain in
the booty and my eyesight wasn't worth sacrificing over it.
I do Calligraphy sometimes, and I like Dover coloring books
and those biiiiiiiiig coloring posters you can buy at craft stores.
I get into these moods where I REALLY feel like doing housework.
And so I do... and I beg off social occasions and so on just to
stay at home throwing away old pantyhose and issues of
Mademoiselle from 1992, etc.
Sometimes I think I'm NotAGoth, and this suits me just fine.

I wish i liked going for groceries. I work nights, so the only time i
can go is at like 7am, and, looking like I do, I get paranoid in the
store :) People look at me funny. So, i run in for what I need, then
back out fast. The Joyous bit is that I found a new grocery store! It's
in Richmond, so there's a high weirdness ratio, and i don't feel quite
as bad. Plus they have a really good international food section. I've
been munching on Red Pepper Hummus and pitas for hours now, and there's
some nummy looking german stuff there i'm going to try too. Spaetzel is
my fave. I wish i could get the whole store to myself, then i'd enjoy it
more. :) I'll shut up now...

Personally, I tend to include any hobby that requires imagination in
the "gothic hobby" category. Writing, drawing, crafting, sewing,
reading, moviemaking, makeup art, what have you.
But not sports. ;-) Unless it's creative dance or something like...

i have to second a lot of what was said: i think anything i do can be made
goth, or done in a goth way. i also think something is goth because i say it
is. golly, years and years ago, who would have thought sanrio would be goth?
along comes badtz maru! lots of things that never used to be goth, are
considered ubergoth now... my "non goth" things? soapmaking, which i do in a
rather goth fashion. eh... seashells. i havce so many its not even funny. but
they all were picked up by me, most in baja on my mom's beach. i make wands
with them.. i use them for everything. non goth hobbies? i dunno... i also get
on cleaning streaks... i rarely leave the house for much other than school and
performances now. being online is a huge chunk of my life. thats not goth is
it? i dunno... i guess, like sarai, im goff to the bone!

Problem is, though, from what I know about them, they travel as a
virus, and you can go for years without having an attack and realising
that you've actually got them...
Same with genital warts - and I think I'll stop there cos this sort of
stuff frightens me more that a hundred Nightmares On Elm Street.

That's so strange - I know quite a few goths that rollerblade, and I
still think it's really odd...
I don't know what ungoth hobbies I have - I love researching family
history and genealogy, but you could consider that goth-y. I like to
patchwork and crochet (I'm doing the old-lady stuff now, okay? So that
when I'm 70 I can be down at the clubs, boogieing ;) I like reading
non-fiction books, and research, on all sorts of topics: history,
culture, spirituality, politics. I love trashy, kitschy decor stuff,
esp. the china cats that populated people's homes in the 50s and 60s.
I like playing games such as Triv., Scrabble, Yahtzee, Mahjongg and
assorted card games, but I find a shortage of people prepared to play
with me (cos I always win! ;)

Diamanda Galas cds) After seeing Party Girl, I'm very into Parker Posey
(why WHY does she have to be in The House of Yes with *gag* Tori Spelling?

non goth hobbies...? I'd like to learn to swing dance, archery looks
interesting, and maybe one of these days I'll run with the ultra
environmentalist crowd and learn to monkeywrench...
<< I actually LIKE being OUTSIDE on sunny days!>>
me too, I think all black and pale makeup looks lovely against a sunny-
green-outdoorsy environment
oh. and drag.

to do a search on Dejanews ;)) scribbled in lipstick upon the mirror:

Erm.. For me, it's airplanes, computers, telecommunications, and video games,
mostly. :) I love all those flashy sorts of things with many buttons and
lights and leetle things.. :) Prolly why I end up taking apart half the
electronic equipment I own.
Kaleah
and still the PSX and computer work! hoo-ray~!

I love this question...
I rollerblade
I lift weights *(and love it)* which is also odd for a girl I think
I jet ski.. here in the south water is your only escape from the
horrible humidity.
hmm.. dare I go on... wow, guess I'm not too goth now that I think about it
:P

I was drivin home listen to the stock market show and they said something about
online telecommuting causing online addiction...blah blah blah...anyhow- who's
addicted here? I am a bland person I guess, my man got the sortof online
sickness a few years ago- he got better- now he's in the kitchen sanding the
horn from the fiat(groan) anyway- it never got me- I read agf- my mail-
occasionally look something up- then I sit here going- now what? and I flick it
(the computer) off- If I were on the computer, and the man said lets go out-
fuck, I woulnt even bother to shut down windows... yet I've talked to lots of
people that say they're ALWAYS online! so um....how bout you? Are you...hooked?
as they say? Or just passing time? checking in? what do you DO after you read
all the agf messages??

just passing time!

#1: I am very hooked. Pathetically hooked. Embarassingly hooked. I got into
(yes, I know...*hides head*) roleplaying, and then I was lost in a sea of
AOHell. It's so sad...fortunately I'm going to attend this school which will
_hopefully_ take up all my time (seeing that since I'm in the theater area,
I'll be doing TONS of plays...), so I'll get less and less hooked when finally
one day...*PoOf*!!...I'll no longer be caught in the iron hand of AOHell.
#2: I ususally talk to people online after reading all of the agf
messages...then I sit around moping or staring at the ceiling or listening to
music or studing some new play...it's a pathetic life I lead, I know. I just
never really bother to get out and do something...yeah, sometimes I frequent
the local clubs, but in Dallas, there aren't many wonderful Goth clubs...at
all...I live in a town full of hicks, homies, and hispanics. Eengh. Someone
take me out of this place...*whimper* Excuse my mopey mood...not feelin to well
today...but oh well...*chuckles* I'll quit complaining now. Byebye all, and
sweet dreams to those who are reading this message before beddie-time.

antisocial and prone to panic attacks BUT- I think I dunno- they weird me out-

I guess I'm kind of addicted to agf and, to a lesser extent, alt.gothic...but
not so addicted that I couldn't live without them if I had something else to
do...? My schedule is such that most of my free time is in the middle of the
night, and I don't like tv much, so the entertainment options are limited.
I stick to Usenet, e-mail and looking up stuff on the web occasionally--I
*really* dislike "chatting," even to my favouritest people, because I feel like
I have nothing to say, and if I did, I'd say it better in e-mail...but I'm
always, always doing other stuff when I'm online--making packages for people,
writing, doing homework, paying bills, etc. I really *like* doing a million
things at once (is that a lefthanded thing?)...and when it's 4 am and you're
bored but not tired it's kind of reassuring to have the computer humming away.
Kind of like how some people leave the TV on *all* the time, I guess.

I find that if I don't check the ng every day, it just
takes too long to wade thru the next day. Even so, I
am skipping thru lots of posts. In general, if there's
something I need to send e-mail abt, like to a postmaster,
then I'm doing that at the same time, bec. usu. I'm
checking my e-mail at the same time.

Eeek. I can't just pick one! Umm...I like Flannery O'Connor, Poe, Oscar Wilde,
Lewis Carroll, Sartre, Sylvia Plath, all those Romantic people...

yes, it's a bit creepy, but in a cool way.
