I still have my VICModem, the kind where you had to dial manually on
your telephone, then take the receiver part off its cradle and plug it into
the back once you got a carrier. The Commodore 64 remains all the computer
I ever really needed.
My very first Usenet posts were in binary groups, and not archived; but

"But Zoe soon justified the Roman maxim, that every adultress is capable
of poisoning her husband; and the death of Romanus was instantly followed
by the scandalous marriage and elevation of Michael the fourth. The
expectations of Zoe were however disappointed: instead of a vigorous and
grateful lover, she had placed in her bed, a miserable wretch, whose
health and reason were impaired by epileptic fits, and whose conscience
was tormented by despair and remorse. [...] His administration was only
the art of satiating his avarice, and Zoe became a captive in the palace
of her fathers and in the hands of her slaves." (Gibbon, _Decline and Fall
of the Roman Empire, Vol.III).

I would have to conclude, given the fact that those that have seen my
corporeal form around here are few and far between that I must be some
form of artificial intelligence sent here simply to interact and see
what happens. My nerdy secret identity is only seen by the brave that
venture to this part of the world, and therefore, prolly doesn't

Right now I'm at work, and I won't even dignify the machine by giving
it any credit for existing, though I am mightly keen on the 18" Sony
flatpanel that it's attached to. It's running a nice corporate flavor
of Win2000, which is ironic since my job involves doing stuff on
WinXP, but that's besides the point.
At home I have a Mac Powerbook G3/400mhz/256M it has more peripherals
than it should. I'm pushing the limits of the 2 USB hubs attached,
wish I had more firewire crap though. A CD burner just ain't enough.
We also have a spanking bright and white new iMac G4/800mhz/756M, it's
really farking pretty, and with the combo drive, doesn't require much
in the peripheral area... sketchy's desk would be barren if it wasn't
full of a bunch of CDs that he's burning to DVDs to take to work.

> John Ashcroft is hunting all goths! You must hide your gothiness.
> Who do you pretend to be?
A designer. They were lots of black too.
> What's your favorite band that you consider Goth?
That's a long list. Seeing as to how bands that get labeled "favorite"
always seem to end up releasing albums that make me embarrassed to
associate with them. Like the Cure for instance. They currently suck
nuggets, but they were great in the 80s. I guess the only band that I
really like now that is still releasing albums I like is VNV Nation.
Apop just broke my heart with their new album... I mean if I want boy
band pop with a layer of Depeche Mode thrown on, I'd go buy boy band
pop.

Tim Burton. I admit to evening somewhat enjoying Planet of the Apes,

Some very victorian mourning statuary. There just aren't enough of

Hmm. My current and frequent hobbies are: masturbating, taking

riding my bicycle, boxing (well, training for it, so far).
In a less frequent manner: I really dig traveling, painting (well, I
used to and still occasionally do), drawing, doing stuff with wood,
metal, leather and other materials and adequate tools, firing guns and
other stuff I don't remember. And there are many other things I'd like
to do and might do in a soon or late future.

What's your favourite time of day? Silly question. I love most kinds of
music.
> Author?
Goth author? Most modern ones I haven't read or avoid on the basis of
reputation. Lovecraft.
> Artist?
Anyone who can do something immensely stupid and have the art world go
mad for it, like that room in the Tate with the flashing light, or
Damien Hirst/Hurst. Who is in danger of taking himself too seriously
unfortunately.
> Filmmaker?
Without a doubt, Lucio Fulci.

> What's your best trait?

> What sort of hobbies do you enjoy?
Heee...
I enjoy playing music most of all. I'm learning guitar right now, with a
rare-ish Roland GR setup consisting of the mad 707 controller, the crap
700 synth/MIDI convertor, a half-decent MIDI convertor in waiting from
Korg, and the wonderful GR-300 analogue guitar synth. Plus the 12 or so
synthesizers (Trinity ProX, D-50, S-550 and S-50, JD-800, SH-101, M1,
Poly 800, Poly 800-II, 2 CX5Ms, Moog Rogue, some random support bits)
and iMac that controls them sometimes.
I would enjoy it more if I had friends who could play these instruments
too, as controlling more than two at once can get very complicated...
Plus messing about with cars, collecting them, trying to fix them, that
sort of thing. Watching NASCAR, playing old MSX games, reading
(sometimes).
> A book you'd recommend?
That depends on what it's for. If you have a very large bug to squash,
I'd recommend anything in hardback by Stephen King, if you wanted to
read it I'd recommend a lot of things that I haven't read for ages.
> And a film for the illiterate?
Children of the Dead.
Oh, wait. /For/ the illiterate. Not by.
Erm... Zombie Flesh Eaters. It has sharks, Zombies and nudity.
> If you were a famous artwork, you would be?
The Citroen DS.
> It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel ...?
mildly annoyed. I mean, I was planning on washing the car...

I can never cheat on my wife.

One brother. Intermittently in prison.

OS 9.1 on a G4 450. Keep looking at OSX but can't afford to upgrade all my
software and kit to go along with it. Plus, still no Quark for OSX.

There's not enough of note to say about me to fill a page, never mind a

I would immediately deny all knowledge of the subject in public.
This would take place in an elaborately decorated 19th century
cemetery, while I'm wearing a historically accurate black Victorian
tailcoat plus poet shirt and top hat, with all the trimmings. The
background music would be Bauhaus and early Siouxsie.
I'd have a friend hidden nearby in the bushes with a video camera,
and he or she would record that pivotal moment in which Ashcroft goes
certifiably insane and starts jumping up and down like a baboon on speed.

I handle the AP/AR, Inventory, Customer Service, Purchasing, Vendor Relations,

Exclusively Drop Ship & CTC stuff, Inhouse work is when everybody's strapped

Most frequently, I am the person you whine at when your drop ship item never

the stuff that goes without saying. (Involves people, music
and booze.)
> A book you'd recommend?
"The Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov, but be sure to get
Michael Glenny's translation (assumimg you're not reading it
in Russian). I finished Byatt's "Possesion" today, but I

I can't reply with just a few words on that one. Besides: it's changing
all the time.

> Who do you pretend to be?
Just myself on a non-gothic day.
> What's your favorite band that you consider Goth?
I like most Goth bands. Picking a favourite is really too much to ask. If
I had a favourite, the favouriteness would wear off anyway after listening
too much to it. :)

Roland GR setup consisting of the mad 707 controller, the crap 700
synth/MIDI convertor, a Korg Z3, and the wonderful GR-300 analogue
guitar synth. Cost around £400... do a search on eBay just for the GR-
300 ;) The 707 is the same guitar Sigue Sigue Sputnik used and sounds
almost as bad when I play it. Came with a couple of Carlsbro vintage
pedals that paid for the Z3.
Synthesizers:
Trinity ProX, bought used, have been offered £1200 for it and pondering
about selling it... I could get a Wavestation A/D and another DX7 with
the profit! Great controller, mundane sounds.
Poly 800 - reverse key model, allegedly quite rare.
Moog Rogue - ah, I loved this one. Ad in paper "Polyphonic Synthesizer
£100". It'd been used twice and was boxed.
Some random support bits:
Steinberg Midex8 - gotta love this thing, all my keyboards connected to
the iMac at once.
Zoom RFX-1000 - cheapest multi-fx ever. Has Vocoder!
Samson AMP. Someone cut it's hair off, it's gutless.

I am in a very pissy mood, because what I should be running is Win98 on my
newly rebuilt 1.4Ghz, 256meg DDR (soon to be upgraded to 512meg, and
upgradeable to 3gig.) system, connected to the 'net over an ASDL connection.
However, due to problems with getting drivers installed, the new BIOS
working properly, the machine to acknowledge half of the equipment present
and issues of that nature, I'm actually running Win95 on years-old 32meg
Packard Bell P-133 which is connected via dial-up with a 33.3 modem.

Sorry, can't do that. I'm in Kentucky too. Well, sort of anyway. I split
my time between Covington and (In the Summer, when BlackIce is usually out
of the country.) Northern Wisconsin.
I also spent something like five years in the hell that is Paducah, maybe
five or six years back, before I escaped.
So whereabouts in Kentucky are you anyway?

> What do you do for a living?
I run my own clothing design company, Incarnadine Limited, but
it's not really making money as yet, since my business partner left and
it's really difficult for me to do everything by myself.
I am a carer for my partner Donald, on account of his health
problems; sometimes that doesn't take up much of my time at all, but
sometimes I'm needed 24/7, and I always have to be on call. As of about a
year ago, after seven years of refusing to recognise the situation, the
government started paying me sixteen pence an hour for this.
I also write short stories and articles for money, but, due to
my other occupations, it's been a year now since I've had anything
published. Occasionally I do related things like lecturing and giving
interviews, which does still bring in a bit of cash.
I edit a science fiction and fantasy 'zine, TBD, which comes
out every two months.
> Are you a guy? A girl? Something else?
Physically (anatomy, internal organs, outward appearance) I'm
female tending towards intersexed; mentally (neurology and hormone levels)
I'm intersexed tending towards male.
> Do you like guys? Girls? Something else?
All of the above, though not _all_ of the above. ;) I'm
picky, but according to my own peculiar standards. I guess that I'm most
often attracted to those in the middle of the sex spectrum.
> Are you alive? Dead? Undead? Artiifical? Inanimate?
Alive. Partly artificial, since I require a bit of nylon to
keep my right eye working; and I'm on a whole heap of drugs just to keep
me functioning, to hold back my mixed connective tissue disease.
Basically, my body is so enthusiastically alive that it's killing itself.
> Are you seeing anyone?
I've been living with my partner, Donald, for over nine years
now, and I do actually still like him quite a bit. ;)
As for other things... well, I guess there's no point in
keeping it secret anymore... for the past three months, I have been seeing
a.g.'s very own erith romycin. That's looking like being a serious,
long-term sort of thing, and I'm very happy about it.
> Do you have children? For breakfast?
Donald's cooking breakfast as I write. I'm not sure what it's
going to be, but I didn't hear any squealing.
No, I don't have children, though I'd like to, in two or threee
years, if my health permits it.
> What color hair do you have?
Dark blonde. Naturally so; it doesn't take dye. Hip length and
tediously straight, though at least that makes it flexible.
> What color eyes do you have?
Grey, sometimes changing to green or blue in accordance with my
moods; mostly obscured by oversized pupils anyway.
> Are you religious?
I don't feel any need for religion, having learned the value of

Anything that actually gets people thinking outside of their

political ones because I find that they're less likely to descend into
empty rhetoric and pouting. I like to stay updated on my fellow
netgoths'lives, since I have so many dear friends here. And I like a good
sex
thread from time to time.
> Why alt.gothic?
It's one of those rare places where I really feel at home, the

being much higher than it is elsewhere. I'd go so far as to say that a.g.
is only about seventy percent shite, which is really quite good going.

I'm easily bored.

Science fiction related stuff; reading; swimming (when my knee

This is the first Netscrape in which I have ever had anything
to say about comics, and there have been no questions on them. :( So I
suppose I shall use this space to say that I have finally found some I
liked - namely, 'The Watchmen', 'The Invisibles' and 'From Hell'. I though
'Halo Jones' was okay but rather slight. I thought 'V for Vendetta' was
shite but forgiveable, being an early work. At any rate, I'm finally
learning.
I think this is my shortest Netscrape entry ever.

Slowly but surely, there are more of us here.
One of these days, I should get serious about having some kind of minor
net.goth get together to go down and do one of the Mammoth Cave tours. I've
been through the cave several times in different ways, and enjoyed it. I
wonder, if anyone would actually find this a good idea.

Aww! See, it shows how sick, inhuman and selfish is the norm in our
society and how the truly desesperately human folks, who are very few,
always get screwed in the end, after having wasted their existence to
try to please opportunistic, selfish pricks in exchange of a little
love that never came! heh. Don't let anyone tell you it's a flick

selfish pricks. heheh.

This is true, everyone is basically getting screwed over by everything in
society. SouthPark is a pretty weird example, but it's an example...No wonder
my 9 year-old brother is so messed-up! (My parents let him watch SouthPark. I
don't care what my parents say, he's way too impressionable to watch it...)

I don't see the correlation, frankly. I don't have much esteem for my
appearance and only a little more for my constitution, yet I consider
myself to be much more agreeable to the eye and contact than this
individual!

I have difficulties imagining that dude successfully raping something

basic laws of physic, that's true.
