C10 So Far (shortish)
MistressDeath
and better. While Goteki isn't really my thing, they were, um, very
enthusiastic, and you could tell they were really enjoying their first
US performance. I suggest everybody who didn't go last night purchase
their CDs (and also the people who did, but for different reasons).
Also, Dag, Jennie, the nice gentleman whose name I didn't catch who
accompanied her (I think it was Donald?) Kest, Panurge, and WhiteWitch
are very friendly people, I found, while erith is...erith. I didn't
see the people for whom I was looking that I'd already met, namely
Peter Coffin and his lady friend. Although my corset strings broke
twice, the evening went well overall. Did I mention that Scary Lady
Sarah and her new husband are utterly adorable together? They are. Oh,
and Mark Splatter hasn't let his fame get to his head at all. He's
very friendly and full of fake blood.

No. He only punched me in the arm, after I slapped his somewhere in
the shoulder/neck region. My skirt was far too puffy for any
crotch-punch to be effective.

Hi MistressDeath, sorry I missed you at C10 -- I was hoping to meet as many
people as I could on the roll call (esp. cuties who smile), but when I tried to
print it out, well, it didn't work too well. Anyway, I was stunned at how good
AVP was. Didn't pay much attention to anyone else.

So _that_ is what happened to bring the EU birthrates so low.
Unbelievable, "unanticipated consequences" of the super high fuels-tax,
leads to cars too small to bonk in. You people need to replace your
government with one that will allow you to have less gas taxes and thus
higher birthrates, leading to an overcrowded country where everyone
drives around in their big cars with a smirky smile on their face, and
the back seat smells a bit dodgy if you leave it parked in the sun for
too long with all the windows rolled up.

Gotta say: never done it in a car. A golf-course, a cliff-top, nearly a
pool-table once, but never a car.
UK teenagers are unlikely to own one, really, & when I got older, I
graduated to getting involved with people who owned beds & rented hotel
rooms.
The one guy I dated who HAD a car had a tiny sports car with no back
seat.

Enlightenment, please?
Tiny Human Ferret
Well, doing it in a car is rather overrated, but for much of the US --
considering such things as scorpions and sidewinders in the west, bear
and suchlike in the east -- sex in a car is as good as it gets if you
can't get a room to yourselves. Also, in the city, on a nice night of
bad weather, in a random parking place, it's about as private as it
gets, at least it was before the introduction of cellphones.
Another reason it's rather underrated is the fact that unless you've
borrowed a limousine, bonking in the back seat without opening the doors
puts the woman in a position about guaranteed to ensure pregancy if
proper precautions aren't taken, which if you're desperate enough to
have sex in a car, they probably weren't.

Now that just shows a lack of imagination and determination. For the
extremely horny, say, people with relatives visiting who would be
mortified if they heard so much as a peep from the bedroom (although
it is not the practice of many people I know to yell, "PEEP! PEEP! at
the point of orgasm, I must coin the phrase), parking the car in an
empty parking lot after the business in question has closed for the
day and backing the car into a spot right near the building is the
Plan B when the car's interior hampers maneuvering. Either the female
can bend over the trunk or the hood/trunk of the car can become a
makeshift bed. Also, if one brings a picnic blanket, the actual ground
behind the car works well because the car blocks one from the view of
any late-night passersby.

When I went out with the gentleman with a sports-car, we ended up on a
cliff, behind some prickly bushes. I famously didn't mention until
afterwards that a certain amount of motion had caused my head to be
pushed over the edge of the cliff into open space. Poor chap was rather
concerned.
A few weeks ago, I scattered the ashes of a deceased relative from
another nearby part of the same cliff, & admit to a certain amount of
wry amusement on returning to that spot so many years later, for such a
different purpose.

I didn't (to my knowledge) see Peter at all, and he was one of

to come to Whitby. Or to Scotland, where my usual offer to feed passing

That was a fine corset, all the same, and I have to say

As the Emperor Penguin mentioned, certain angles have already

> the real reason to have an automatic?
Do automatics not even have gear sticks? In the circumstances,
that would seem to be unfortunate.
> why american cars are better?
In the US, I was very grateful for the air conditioning thing;
otherwise, it's not a big deal to me. I like the intimacy of small cars.
Also, I like the feeling of being closer to the road, more sensitive to
every bounce and judder. If one is going to fuck in a vehicle, it ought to
be one which can contribute to sensation, not simply an anonymous box.
> why bench seats beat bucket seats?
I guess that depends on the type of sex one is having.
I plan to start my driving lessons in July, so after that, we'll
see. Neither of my men drives, and of course, when I was going out with
Erith, he would have been horrified at the idea of exposing his poor
innocent wee car to that sort of thing; so it's been a while... Taxis
don't really count, do they? One has to be so tediously discreet therein.

I wish. Just have been without my own reliable net access for far too
long. And google annoys the hell out of me. So I end up doing a vanity
search every couple months and otherwise leave it alone.
As of tonight, I have net again. Sweet sweet net. But... are you sure
you want to hear this?
I don't think I'm actually coming back.
The first time I've really took a look at the whole group in ages, and
what do I see? A bunch of whining and sniping. Something smells rotten
in here. And it's just postConvergence, traditionally one of the most
warm and fuzzy times of the year. There's a lot to love about some of
the people 'round these parts, but the atmosphere right now isn't
anything I'm really interested in.
And someone here will no doubt want to point fingers in the direction of
LJ, and claim it steals babies, and such, which makes me preemptively
sad, because it not only misses the point, it's about as accurate as
blaming chocolate ice cream for me not eating brussel sprouts.
Especially as LJ is far from everything I desire. It's a crappy debate
medium. Thoughts there have a shelflife of about a day and a half, and
then it's on to 'what I did today.' But a.g. doesn't seem a lot better
on that front, unfortunately. People seem to just be taking swings at
each other.
So. You know. You guys have your fun. I'll be over here if you need me.

When I bought a car, I made sure it had a large comfy back seat. You
know, in case I found myself homeless and needing to sleep in it, or
something. And it was also handy when instead of being homeless, I moved
in with a traditional aunt, uncle, and fourteen year old cousin, on whom
I was expected to be a Good Influence.

You're spoiled. I lost my virginity to a girl who was 6'4" in the reclining
passengers seat of a '77 Dodge Colt, somewhere west of the suburbs of
Denver.[1]
I am *not* making this up.
[1] What would have been west of them in 1985 anyway. I'm sure those empty
hills have long been covered in suburban sprawl at this point.

A lot only have this small, pathetic thing on the steering column. As to

Very true. I had and loved a two door, '86 Ford Escort with reclining front
seats and there are all sorts of things you can do with them that I couldn't
see managing with a bench seat. (Although being able to manage some of them
is somewhat height specific.)
I really miss that car. Doing a quick calculation, I've realized that of
the people I've had sex with, at one point or another I had sex with fully
25% of them in that car. Ah, if bucket seats could talk.... [1]

Not really, no. It's really a totally different vibe, and not nearly as
cool IMO.
[1] Actually, if bucket seats could talk, I'd probably have been in real
trouble, particularly in the early days when I was sharing the use of the
car with my parents.

Now now, putting down sex in cars is just downright UnAmerican.
I don't know about you, but in the past I have driven into the mountains
with a girlfriend in order to park there and have sex in the car even though
we had a perfectly good apartment of our own. (*And* despite her being
5'10".) There's just something special about sex in a car that you really
can't get in any other way.
Or, maybe I just have a bit of a fetish for sex in cars. I dunno, but I
like to at least think that I'm celebrating an integral aspect of *true*
American Culture. <g>

You'd be surprised. I have never seen her lose her cool, not even when
it was five minutes after Nocturna was supposed to start and we still
weren't done decorating. (I rarely see the behind-the-scenes action,
but on this occasion I was filling in for somebody at the last
minute). It must be some combination of character and using sensory

You may have the same problem I do when finishing big writing or

immediately, even when a few days off would be very much the more
sensible option.

Why don't you come back and help make it the place you want it to be,

It's a small group now. A few people can make a real difference. A lot
of regulars have been missing because of Whitby and C10. A lot of what
you're seeing from the past few weeks is just crossposts from alt.punk.
Right now you can help set the tone for the returnees to whatever you

I think by that time, Erith had learned to dread the upcoming flash. Sort
of a Pavlovian response, or more accurately like that of flatworms
repeatedly exposed to electric shocks. However, I wonder: If one fed bits
of Erith to other goths, would they also learn aversion to my camera and
its strangely robust flash?

Where were these people when JV was trying to help them find me/help

having to miss the daytime stuff Saturday because Jon and I hadn't
bothered to talk about it & he assumed we weren't going while I

I'm probably the only person right here who can offer

Hmm. Well, that's one datapoint in the negative. However, it'd probably
take a more structured experiment to verify the results. First, we need a
control, who eats no Erith bits and is not exposed to flashes or electric
shocks. Any goths out there who haven't been exposed to flashes or electric
shocks?
...Eh, there goes that experiment down the drain.

You know, kest would be perfectly normal in lots of places.
Americans _are_ really really big. In Glasgow I'm average height (at five
foot four) and not all that far below average weight. In the US, I ran
into quite a few people who were literally three times my size. It's the

That? That's _nothing_. I'd slept when that photo was taken, for about six
hours too. Though admittedly not all at once, but if that's the day I was
thinking it was I wasn't drinking too heavily the night before, so I
actually look okay. Many's the time at Whitby where I've looked more dead,
and heck, at Convergence I was a wreck on Friday morning, and, indeed,
Saturday and Sunday morning and Sunday evening too. Actually, I didn't get
up until Saturday evening properly, so I've no idea how bad I looked in the
morning. Anyway, the point remains - I have looked more dead.

My eyes don't compensate well for single flashes of light - it's odd, but I
don't have any problem with strobe lighting. I suspect that it's got
something to do with my astigmatism. Anyway, camera flashes bad. It doesn't
help that almost any light source burns into my retina confusing my vision
for quite some time.

I am not a flatworm! Also, I have not liked camera flashes for ages, it's
just that I'd avoided massive exposure to other people's cameras until my
first Whitby, when I spent a long time virtually blind because wherever I
looked a photo was being taken. I dread most congregations of goths because
they have the potential to blind me.

It's "fuck you you monkey fucking fuck", and by that point I was
physiologically incapable of screaming. It's not that I'd lost my voice, but
I just didn't have the energy.

A few people weren't sure, at first, if he was Erith; he was
terribly worried about that. Anyhow, yes, I saw the picture. It's not
bad. Hardly anyone gets my eyes to come out the right colour when using
flash, so I'm pleased. :)

Ah, that makes sense. The only time I ventured into the IPM room
was on Friday night, and there were only four people there, and the music
was annoying and just slightly too loud to talk over, so I returned to
the lobby, where I spent the remainder of my evenings. JV kept popping by
to say "The party's upstairs!" and we'd say "Dude, that's as may be, but
it's perfectly obvious there's a party here."

It's something, I'm not entirely certain what it is, though corn-syrup
does appear to be metabolized as fat rather than as sugar, according to
some recent study. Thus we should be seeing less diabetes than when
sodas were mostly made with cane-sugar; instead, there's so much more
obesity that the diabetes rate has risen rather dramatically.
That being said, there is a rather noteworthy phenomenon of smallish
people from the Old World raising Very Large Children in the New World.
One sees this nowhere more evidently than in a lot of the Asians,
notably the Chinese. One may see parents who are all of five feet tall
and very slim, who come to America and raise children who are a foot
more more taller than them, and often quite robust (though generally not
fat). I suspect it might have something to do with the availability of
iodine in our foods (and salt) and the dearth of iodine in Chinese farm
soils. But that doesn't quite explain the Really Big Italians or Roly
Poly Germanics.
Maybe our food is just too nutritious. Or maybe it's the corn-syrup.

Shouldn't that be "fuck you, you monkey fucking fuckmonkey!"

I hear that there has been a bit of a diplomatic exchange over that
allegedly Swedish alleged food offering...

It prolly doesn't help matters that the flash on the camera was likely
blasted straight into your eyes, and that you likely do not have the
habit of staring directly /into/ the strobes at clubs and whatnot.

Would you care to join my campaign to eradicate on-camera flash units?

I didn't recognise Donald immediately, because... well, he's looking an
awful lot fitter & more muscular than last time I saw him, frankly.
I tried to express my pleasure on this subject to erith, who instantly
donned his invisible pimp-hat, & asked if he could take my booking...
