DESCRIBE YOURSELF TO THE NETSCRAPE <back to school edition>
oddlystrange
So bust out your personality and tell this newsgroup a little about yourself.
The Netscrape post is made sesonally (with no actual date, just when the
weather changes, there are a lot of newbies or other fun fun things) by
oddlystrangeŠ who tries to think of at least ONE new thing to add each
time around. This is because all of this gets archived by **** and I want
to keep her busy. The web locatation for the ansers are:
The idea is simple: hit the reply button, erase this top part and put in
answers about yourself in the bottom part. You are by no means required to
answer everything, hey youąre not even required to answer at all.
Have fun! Be silly, seriously or just prove your overwhelming wit. Enjoy!

Dranith to C4 to the collective act of will that was Get Lady Graycat Out
of California to threads that were epicly silly, and arguments that were
epicly stupid. We don't do things by halves. I think I see it as a common
room, big enough to hold everyone, with comfortable chairs and a tv and a
huge coffeepot, and scattered tables. People come and go, but the room is
always there.

people away. People who aren't in my really-top-friends category I do very
little for or with. I lose track of many friends very quickly.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND: Creativity and spontinaety. Someone
who isn't afraid to just grab your wrist and say "We're going to the Corn
Fest, bring your good walking boots"
HOW DO YOU PICTURE ALT.GOTHIC: Usually just a bunch of names with a lot of
text flying around. I tend to visualize only on individual posts.
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: Where should I get my next piercing?

DESCRIBE YOURSELF TO THE NETSCRAPE:
Fall 1998 Edition
__THE PHYSICAL__:
YOUR NAME: Hardly anyone ever uses it due to the mass confusion of having the
same name as my mother... I go by a wide assortment of nicks though... I guess
the most normal sounding would be Meg.... (and no my name's not Margaret or
anything like that)

CURRENT HAIRCOLOR/STYLE: Black with bright red streaks. Very long, very thick,
very curly, often worn in pigtails ala Wednesday Addams

love it. On me it just looks stupid

other young people, all people of any age, actually... I have a hard time
saying I believe in myself."
SIBLINGS:Surviving: Alice (27) and John (25)

"babies) you're barking up the wrong tree
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: single, with a ban on dating until six months after I
move.
OCCUPATION: Anyone hiring in Tempe?
PETS:Does Pariah count? (ducking to avoid the many things he'll throw at me if
he reads this ;-) )
COMPUTER YOU¹RE ON: Toshiba Infinia AKA the Big Black Behemoth, currently with
a little stuffed leopard resting on the monitor, wallpaper of my "cellebrity
crush" (if you could call him that) and glow in the dark google eyes in the
corners. ;-)
FAVORITES:
What is your favorite:
BOOK: Jan Harold Brunvand's series oof Urban Legends books. Though Anne Of
Green Gables, Generation X, Less Than Zero, and Catcher In The Rye all get
reread pretty often
MOVIE: BIG John Waters fan. Better Off Dead, Valley Girl, and the 80's John
Hughes teenfests get watched quite frequently too.
POEM: "To Remember Too Remember" by Anne Sexton
TELEVISION SHOW: Martha Stewart Living, Politically Incorrect, the Simpsons.
SONG: changes constantly... but lately I've been singing "Only Thing To Do"
from Rent and "Waterfall" by the Stone Roses a lot.... it really depends on
what's going on in my life at the time.
BAND/MUSICIAN: Elvis Costello, Tori Amos, The Jam, The Cure, and The Residents
are the bare minimum for sane living with me.
BOARD GAME: Star Wars Monopoly or Scrabble
COMPUTER GAME: *sheepish look* the Leisure Suit Larry series
OTHER GAME: Tabboo
MAGAZINE: I don't read many anymore.. though I pick up Carpe Noctem when I
can... I'd like a subscription to Martha Stewart Living though.

FOOD: I eat a lot of junk food, but I think if I had to pick just one favorite,
it'd probably have to be mashed potatoes with Italian dressing
COLOR: red / black / silver
DRINK: alcoholic- Fuzzy Navel / nonalcoholic- Red Bull
MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS:
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: alt.gothic.fashion, alt.music.the-residents
(though there's never anything on it)
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC: I'd say close to a year now...
though I only started posting in late May.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE THREAD ON ALT.GOTHIC: Though I feel kind of bad
admitting it, writing "And It Was Good..." made me feel really good about
myself "Stealing Religion", started by Isobella (I think?) also really tugged
at my heart.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: I write / paint, though not as much as I should.
Comedy.. especially improv.
WHAT¹S THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: it's not really a motto, but I guess "I'd
rather be seen for what I am, and be alone, than seen for what I'm not, and be
lonely"--Brock Tully
WHAT¹S IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: a couple- I can recite the
alphabet backwards in less than 4 seconds / You know how some people can curl
their tongue into a "U" shape? I can curl mine into a "UUU" shape
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: No clue... though being a
regular on Saturday Night Live would be pretty darn spiff. ;-) Seriously.. as
long as I'm content it doesn't matter.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED:accepting compliments gracefully
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: I'm the bastard child of Mr Spock and
Deanna Troi. I'm empathetic and logical at the same time. Makes a lot of
things easier to deal with.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: I have low self image / esteem
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND: I used to have a plaque somewhere that
said "A friend is someone who knows everything about you, but liks you anyway"
I think that sums it up.
HOW DO YOU PICTURE ALT.GOTHIC: *giggle* For the most part, I tend to picture
it like one big slumber party. Lots of silliness, a lot of playful teasing, and
a lot of serious talk. I never know if someone's going to offer hugs of
comfort or bean me with a water balloon. I like that.
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: Yes. ;-)

>DESCRIBE YOURSELF TO THE NETSCRAPE:
>Fall 1998 Edition
>
>__THE PHYSICAL__:
>YOUR ONLINE/NICKNAME: as above
>WEB PAGE URL www.skinner.demon.co.uk/jennie/ - it's horribly out of date
due to some problem (Aidan says) which has prevented me being able to send
new information to the server for at least four months. When I can
eventually access it, a picture will be added, among other things.
>AGE: Twenty five; and perfectly happy about it (no matter what certain
youngsters may assume). ;)
>BIRTHDAY: July 14th, Basteille Day and Iraqi National Day
>GENDER: Female (mostly)
>LOCATION: Glasgow, Scotland
>HEIGHT/WEIGHT: Five foot four, and (after years of trying to regain
weight) eight and a half stone! Wheee! :) Which is, um <gets out
calculator> 112 of your American pounds.
>CURRENT HAIRCOLOR/STYLE: Dark blond (natural - it doesn't take dye
(except paint-on stuff or occasional doses of yellow) and I don't want to
make it all fall out by bleaching it. It's straight and goes down to my
hips, at least when it's not crimped, braided with rags, ribbons and bells
or worn in ringlets. I like it long because I never can make my mind up
about things like styles, and this way I can tie it up and wear it short
when I get bored (which would be more difficult the other way round).
>EYE COLOR: Grey, though people claim they're blue or green (I guess it
varies). The irises are almost invisible anyway due to oversized pupils.
I'm horribly photosensitive. <mope>
>RELIGION: None. I don't believe in any deities anyway, and as far as
ethics go I follow my conscience and rationality. Longer explanations can
be found on DejaNews (as can most of these here answers, come to think of
it).
>SIBLINGS: Younger brother Tom (22), who works for a computer games
company in Rotherham, England, goesout with a Welsh woman, drinks Ouzo and
listens to Oasis. We get on okay, but don't have anything much in common,
and I haven't seen him for four years or so.
>CHILDREN: None. I'd like to, but I need to get a stable income and
accomodation first. And actually pluck up the guts to go through with all
that torture.
>RELATIONSHIP STATUS: I've been living with Donald for five and half
years. We're polyamorous, but I'm not currently involved with anyone else.
>OCCUPATION: Ha! Several trillion things. Well, I'm a freelance writer,
have been publishing stuff for nine years now. Just started a new science
fiction novel. I edit a couple of small 'zines. I'm also busy setting up
my own company, waiting to find out about loans and grants and things. We
plan to buy a townhouse and refurbish it in original condition to let out
rooms. I also design and make clothes on commission, which I intend to
expand into a full-time business (to be supervised by a friend) once I
have premises (ie: the townhouse). It'll be concentrating on clothes for
people who don't fit 'one size' - tall thin people, larger people,
pregnant women and possibly children. Goth / punk / glamour wear.
>PETS: A very dear rat called Charlotte, nearly two years old, a Berkshire
breed, dark brown with a white tummy. And seven fish (two golden orfe,
Telesto and Callisto; a carp, Blue; a shubunkin, Arcadia; a stone loach,
Erasmus; and two weather loaches, Juniper and Torquemada). Oh, and Aidan
of course. ;)
>COMPUTER YOU鄗E ON: Aidan's pentium thingy, Randolph.
>
>FAVORITES:
>What is your favorite:
>
John Fowler, Umberto Eco, JG Ballard, Philip K Dick, John Wyndham, that
kind of thing.
>MOVIE: 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me', because it hit very close to home
for me and is one of the only films that actually scares me, in a
cathartic kind of way. I like a lot of other David Lynch stuff; also
(early) Peter Greenaway, Jocelyn Moorhouse, (early) Luc Besson, Stanley
Kubrick etc.
>POEM: Now I have to be cliched and say Poe's 'Annabel Lee'. I love
intelligently structured lyrical poetry, a dying art, alas; and this one
really evokes emotion.
>TELEVISION SHOW: I don't watch television much. Currently I guess the
only regular things I watch are 'Xena' and 'South Park'. If I'm in.
>SONG: 'Shivers' by the Boys next Door.
>BAND/MUSICIAN: Any Nick Cave, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Jesus and Mary
Chain, Psychedelic Furs, A-Ha.
>BOARD GAME: I don't play these much. I like Scrabble, but I live with
dyslexics. I quite enjoy Monopoly, but no-one much will play me at it
because they claim I do things with dice which shouldn't be possible. :(
Donald is always trying to draw me into the kind of strategy board games
which require a degree in astrophysics to comprehend, but I find them kind
of boring, and they do last for days. I miss 'The Great Khan Game', which
was cool but is out of print now I think.
>COMPUTER GAME: I still play Civ II. I'm bored of it, but there isn't
anything else here that I like.
>PLACE TO VISIT: Heh heh Toronto. ;) Not been there yet, but I hope to
make it for Hogmanay. So far, um... Moscow and Amsterdam are my favourite
other cities.
>FOOD: Lots of different things. I like cooking, but I don't always have
time. I love redcurrants and morello cherries, grapefruit, egg yolks,
crunchy bacon rind, stir friend shii take mushrooms, Peking duck, roast
chicken, lasagne etc.
>COLOR: Red. Also purple, silver and black. When I'm really depressed
and/or dangerous I'll dress all in white.
>DRINK: Guinness, kilkenny, murphys, gillespies. Kahlua, cointreau, good
brandy. Good wine. Grapefruit juice. Orangina (which I'm drinking right
now). Chocolate milk.
>MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS:
>
>WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: uk.gay-lesbian-bi, uk.people.bdsm
>
>HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC: since sometime in mid 1994
>
>WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE THREAD ON ALT.GOTHIC: I'm not sure... I like
the long, soul-searching, mopey ethical discussions (so long as they
remain intelligent and not too tediously vicious), but I also enjoy a lot
of the gossip-related fluff.
>WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: I'm currently putting together a pantomime
for the drama group I run. I regularly attend my old university's SF
society, Io. I play with lego. I draw and paint (though some of that is
also work these days). I go to goth and fetish clubs, where I enjoy
dancing. I role play (I'm currently GMing 'Stormbringer' on Monday
nights - fluffy fantasy meets Cthulhoid horror, heh heh heh). I read, of
course. I go to see films. I play cards with friends. I go to a ridiculous
number of parties. I go to museums and other exhibitions. I study various
esoteric subjects, mostly archaic languages.
>WHAT酬 THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: Be reasonable: demand the impossible.
>WHAT酬 IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: I recently discovered (thanks
to a thread here in a.g.) that I can lick my own breasts. ;)
>WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: Living pretty much as I
do now, but with more significant work published, another degree or two
(hopefully I'll get to do my coveted PhD in internet language
development), speaking more languages, with my businesses successfully
established and ideally expanded, with a child or two, and with more
opportunity to travel to see my far-flung friends.
>WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
>POSSESSED: Bits of paper proving my ability in the various subjects I
never had ime to study officially.
>WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: My humility. :p Heh heh. ;) No,
um, probably my stubbornness - it may hold me back sometimes, but it's
kept me alive when nothing else would have.
>WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: I have a low tolerance
for stupidity. I try to make allowances, but I get impatient, which
sometimes results in me getting mad at folk who don't deserve it. :(
>WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND: Honesty.
>HOW DO YOU PICTURE ALT.GOTHIC: Home.
>DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: The day you win the national lottery,
aliens land on the Earth and say they're going to blow it up within twenty
four hours. What do you do with the money? :p

HAIRCOLOR/STYLE: Blonde, past my shoulders, usually with a braid or two
hanging out of it. NATURAL HAIR COLOR: Blonde. EYE COLOR: Brown. RELIGION:

company. PETS: None, right now. Other people's cats get along with me
though... COMPUTER YOU鄗E ON: Dual processor pentium, 128 mb ram, 2 gig
disk. It's the backup domain controller for the network, so it needs a bit of
horsepower.

Dunno. Alien is my fave sci-fi, but otherwise... maybe Danton, starring
Gerard Depardieu. POEM: Not sure. I don't read a lot of poetry. TELEVISION
SHOW: DS9 is good, but almost any English comedy series. SONG: Christendom,
by Paradise Lost. BAND/MUSICIAN: Newlydeads/Taime Downe. BOARD GAME: I

independent. So I can relish telling select people to fuck off.

people talking. But everyone's blindfold. So you have to listen carefully.
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: Not really. Listen, have a _beautiful_ day, ok?

htmls with.

GENDER: Male
LOCATION: Montreal.
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5 ft. 7-8? inches/ 198 pounds, which mean I'm 18lbs

CURRENT HAIRCOLOR/STYLE: Black. My beard, tho, is starting showing its
brown roots. How lame. Short.
NATURAL HAIR COLOR: Brown, kinda.
EYE COLOR: Green kiwi when its sunny, Brown reddish when its dark .
RELIGION: Once you're dead, everything related to your person is good
for compost, the sould being a mere electromagnetical flux dying with
its generator. So, in this religion, you have to make of your one and
unique life the best one possible. Selfish behaviours are acceptable
and encouraged in certain circumpstances.
SIBLINGS: Half a bro. Whatta twit. I hope he read a.g. from his
company puter. Alas, he's hardly able to operate netscrape properly.
And I wont show him.

Winter term in Creative Arts, which I'll transform to Theatre for the
next Fall term. The latter will prolly happen in Tx, tho.
PETS: 3 cats. I'll have to give'em stupid names even if I find it
offensive for'em to be plagued with it.
So I can finally put name on'em when talking about'em.
COMPUTER YOU¹RE ON: A real computer. A PC.
Its a Cyrix 166 with 48megs of ram and there's no need to talk about
its OSes. Soon, I'll get a loan for a new puter. I dunno if i'll buy a
puter of a bike with it, tho.
FAVORITES:
What is your favorite:
BOOK: I'm intellectually way too complex to have 1 preffered book.
MOVIE: I'm intellectually way too complex to have 1 favourite movie.
POEM: Les Corbeaux by Emile Nelligan. Don't read french? Too bad, I'm
not the one who'll stupidly attemp to make a lousy translation of it.
J'ai cru voir sur mon coeur un essaim de corbeaux
En pleine lande intime avec des vols funèbres,
De grands corbeaux venus de montagnes célèbres
Et qui passaient au clair de lune et de flambeaux.
Lugubrement , comme en cercle sur des tombeaux
Et flairant un régal de carcasses de zèbres,
Ils planaient au frisson glacé de mes vertèbres,
Agitant à leurs becs une chair en lambeaux.
Or, cette proie échue à ces démons des nuits
N'était autre que ma Vie en loque, aux ennuis
Vastes qui vont tournant sur elle ainsi toujours,
Déchirant à larges coups de bec, sans quartier,
Mon âme, une charogne éparse au champ des jours,
Que ces vieux corbeaux dévoreront en entier.
Emile Nelligan.
TELEVISION SHOW: The Simpsons.
SONG: I'm intellectually way too complex to have 1 preffered song.
But I really really like "Everybody knows" as I'm listening to it.
BAND/MUSICIAN: I'm intellectually way too complex to have 1 best band.
BOARD GAME: Life. It was really odd to get a life for the first few
times, but it got boring, tho. But I don't have...oh yeah : RISK. Fun
game.
COMPUTER GAME: Not any, for the momment. I need changes to get hooked
to games and I'm too poor.
OTHER GAME: RL
MAGAZINE: Nope. Mainly cuz I don't like wasting bucks in'em.
PLACE TO VISIT: Try San Antonio. Surprinsingly kewl lil'city. Worth
the effort but I'm intellectually way too complex to have 1 fave place
to visit.
FOOD: I'm intellectually way too complex to have 1 preffered type of
fewd.
COLOR: Black.
DRINK: I'm intellectually way too complex to have 1 preffered drink.
MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS:

to say I "Read" other groups.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC: Don't remember.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE THREAD ON ALT.GOTHIC: Don't remember.

here, on the side of my forehead... see? Its tiny, but its there.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND: I think I would be wrong if I

friends are way too complex to be dissecated with the blunt tools of
the reasonable and evaluative mind.
HOW DO YOU PICTURE ALT.GOTHIC: Its a n.g.
Ah, Imagery? Its my net version of the Carre St-Louis.
Usually, I park my bike on the sidewalk when I decide to drop by to
babble with someone. Yes, I can be obnoxious.
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION:
Yes.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SEXUAL FANTASY : I'm intellectually way too
complex to have 1 preffered sexual fantasy. But amongst others, I'd
like to be a vibrator used by a plethora of human females. I'd have
the hability to dispense violent electrical impulses, tho, as a
defensive weapon. That way, I can defend myself from mens who wanna
stuff *me* up their asses aswell as women who are plagued with some
disgusting genital illness or very poor hygien.
DO YOU THINK ALAIN CISLAGHI SHOULD RULE THE WORLD : Geeez! What a
stupid question to ask me. Yes, naturally.

A serviceable time-waster. I'm one of those weirdos that actually wishes there

I think the whole " we're elitists" attitude that some posters have adopted is
pathetic, inane, and unjustifiably pompous. Observation: I find that the people
who really should lighten the fuck up are generally the most prolific posters.
Hmm...
OTOH, I do like a few people here. You hopefully know who y'all are. }:)

That's pretty funny. For the past few years or so I've had a hard time
remembering how old I am. When I was 23, I kept on thinking I was 22 and
now that I'm 24 I keep on thinking I'm 25.
Maybe its something with those non-important 20 years.

MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS:
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: aus.culture.gothic is my home. I read
interesting-looking stuff on a.g and a.g.f, and occasionally browse
various linux and other geeky groups, but don't read them religiously.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC: Since sometime when I was at
uni. Maybe 1992 or 1993? How long has it been around?
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE THREAD ON ALT.GOTHIC: Dunno..
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: Geeky stuff and goff stuff (clubbing,
boozing, listening to music). This year I've dedicated to hedonism so I've
spent a lot more time on the goff hobbies than the geek ones. Apart from

be doing much the same as I am now, except with a more bearable job,
bigger CD collection, and not being single :-)
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU

don't have the dedication - it's easier to stick to things like
programming that come naturally to me..

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: Apathy
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND: I can't sum that up in a pithy
one-liner
HOW DO YOU PICTURE ALT.GOTHIC: Mmm, I don't, really!
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: I guess the controversial questions like sex
and drugs are best left to the gothcode

I dunno why it is...but I think it has something to do with the fact that
when I was a kid, getting older was really exciting. Once I'm old enough
to dread getting older, it'll matter too. But for the time being, I
really don't care much.
<g> I had to figure out how old I was by adding three to my sister's age
(she's three years to the day younger than I am).

DnA Dvorkin
Fall 1998 Edition
__THE PHYSICAL__:
YOUR NAME: Daniel
YOUR ONLINE/NICKNAME: Don't have one, really ... "DnA" is as close as it
gets, but that's really shorthand for my and my wife's names. (Daniel and
Andrea)
WEB PAGE URL http://www.sff.net/people/Daniel.Dvorkin
AGE: 29
BIRTHDAY: 28 February 1969
GENDER: male
LOCATION: Denver, CO, USA. Previously Minot, ND, USA; before that Ramsey,
Cambridgeshire, UK; before that ... well, the service moves you around a
lot, is all I can say. Denver is home, and it's good to be back.
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6 ft. 3 inches/ 185-200 pounds depending on current dietary
habits and level of exercise
CURRENT HAIRCOLOR/STYLE: Red. In a ponytail -- finally!
NATURAL HAIR COLOR: Red. Never going to be dyed -- people try like hell
to get this color out of a bottle ...
EYE COLOR: blue-green
RELIGION: Intellectual agnosticism, emotional atheism -- I accept that
there _might_ be a god, or some gods, but I can't really believe it.
SIBLINGS: Only child. Which is mostly a good thing, I think.
CHILDREN: A daughter, who now lives with my ex in Maryland. Long, painful
story there, which I won't tell right now.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Married. Four and a half years now ... wow.
OCCUPATION: Digital microscopy software programmer and college student.
Digital microscopy is impressive stuff, and really not that hard to
understand. (Check out http://www.intelligent-imaging.com for a look at
my employers -- this is _Star Trek_ level technology, today.) Was an Air
Force medic for eight years. Sometimes I'm also a writer.
PETS: A cat, Tasha. We used to have rats as well, but got tired of
growing attached to animals which inevtiably die in a couple of years ...
COMPUTER YOU鄗E ON: Macintosh Performa 6200, PPC603e/75, 40 MB RAM, OS 8.1
FAVORITES:
What is your favorite:
BOOK: TNTC, as we say in the medical field -- Too Numerous To Count. Some
of my favorite _authors_ are Daniel Keys Moran, Storm Constantine, S.M.
Stirling, Anne Rice (big surprise there), David Drake, Poppy Z. Brite,
Harry Turtledove, Nancy Kress, Joe Haldeman, Steven Brust, and ... er ...
myself. And my father, whose writing credentials are a lot more
impressive than mine.
MOVIE: TNTC again. Um. _Alien_ and _Aliens_, _Conan_ (the first one),
_Platoon_, _A Nightmare on Elm Street_ (the first one), _Glory_, _Pulp
Fiction_, a bunch of others I can't thik of right now.
POEM: "The Road Through the Woods," I think it's called, by Kipling.
TELEVISION SHOW: _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_, since _The X-Files_ got too
convoluted and _Millennium_ too strange.
SONG: "Cities in Dust," Siouxsie and the Banshees, from _Tinderbox_.
BAND/MUSICIAN: Another TNTC here ... The Banshees, Bauhaus, Concrete
Blonde, the Sisters of Mercy, Rosetta Stone, Switchblade Symphony,
Rasputina, Dead Can Dance, Bruce Springsteen (really!), Nick Cave's
various incarnations, etc., etc. Bands I'd really like to hear more from
some day: the Shroud, Ex Voto, the Machine in the Garden.
BOARD GAME: I even play board games (especially chess and Monopoly) on the
computer these days.
COMPUTER GAME: SimCity 2000, the abovementioned chess and Monopoly,
Othello, and lots of thinly-disguised ripoffs of old arcade games
(Tempest, Asteroids, etc.) Would like Civilization II but I spend enough
time at the computer already ...
OTHER GAME: Used to be really into RPG's. Still take out the books
occasionally (everything from the original Traveler and D&D to Vampire:
TM), think about the time involved, and put them away with a sigh.
MAGAZINE: Macworld, Alternative Press, Science News, Spin -- this last, I
don't think I'll bother renewing when my subscription runs out.
PLACE TO VISIT: I really, really, really want to go back to England soon.
FOOD: Ethiopian, Indian, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern, Japanese, damn near
anything when I'm hungry.
COLOR: Look up at the night sky. Take a guess.
DRINK: _Good_ tea, coffee, or beer. Beer's a problem. There are lots of
decent ales around here now, but there is still, to the best of my
knowledge, only one place in the entire US that serves a really good pint
of bitter -- and it's in Minneapolis, which doesn't help me much.
MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS:
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: These days, hardly any, actually.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC: Four years, on and off. Wow.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE THREAD ON ALT.GOTHIC: Anything that allows for
serious discussion between goths without attracting a bunch of trolls.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: Spending time online, obviously. Reading.
Writing, running, lifting weights, and martial arts, when I'm feeling
self-disciplined. More reading, when I'm not. Dancing. Hanging out with
my friends, which is a big priority these days.
WHAT酬 THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: I don't want to limit myself to a motto.
WHAT酬 IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: Telling disgusting medical
stories from the Gulf War and the ER while other people are eating.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: Pretty much what I'm doing
now, except with more money, a bigger house, and a child or two.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED: A more impressive publication record. Half a novel nine years
ago is more than most people have, but it's not enough.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: My sincere devotion to my friends in
family, since they reciprocate in kind.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: My tendency to speak
without thinking. I've hurt too many feelings and made too many enemies
that way.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND: Loyalty and compassion.
HOW DO YOU PICTURE ALT.GOTHIC: A bunch of people in a giant building with
long twisty echoing hallways all wandering around bumping into each other
and trying to have conversations. But it's fun.

Public hair?

They had community hair at convergence?
And are you saying I talk too much?
Given my record on IRC, you're probably right...but I haven't said much on
Usenet for quite a long while.

continuing on their ways

male
> LOCATION:
cambridge, ma
> HEIGHT/WEIGHT:
6'4" or so / no idea
> CURRENT HAIRCOLOR/STYLE:
messy, reddish, in in my eyes. "soooo 1982" according to some guy who
served me a cappucinno once. i guess that's a compliment coming from a
Coffee Shop Person.
> NATURAL HAIR COLOR:
brown, last i checked, but that was a while ago....
> EYE COLOR:
blue
> RELIGION:
bigoted, brainwashed atheist. discordianism and the church of the
subgenius are both kinda cute, tho.
> SIBLINGS:
one sister.
> CHILDREN:
a friend of mine has this theory that babies are shaped the way that
they are because it makes them fly much better when you drop kick them.
he says that they're bald because that way you can paint concentric
circles on their heads.
> RELATIONSHIP STATUS:
taken by a certain a.g. regular. a few positions may still be available,
however, and qualified applicants looking for a place in our
organization should pick up a form from the front office.
> OCCUPATION:
well, i'm not a promoter, so therefore i must be a computer geek...
i make database backed websites for buysafe.com, a startup founded by
some friends of mine. we sell lots of stuff, including some things you'd
want to buy.
> PETS:
just one...
> COMPUTER YOU鄗E ON:
compaq p2/300, 196 mb ram.

> BOOK:
probably "already dead" by denis johnson. runners up include "burning
chrome" by william gibson, "catch 22" by joseph heller, "smilla's sense
of snow" by peter hoeg, and this big collection of kafka stories that
i've got somewhere...
> MOVIE:
"the unforgiven". "fargo" was good too, and so was "swimming with
sharks", and i'm sure i'm forgetting lots more.
> POEM:
i probably should try reading more poetry, but almost all of it that
i've read bores me to tears. fiction can be much more moving, IMHO.

late night infomercials and those horribly cheesy televangelists on the
24 hour jeezus channel. really.

> OTHER GAME:
paddycakes

you mean like dead trees?
> PLACE TO VISIT:
i really like metro boston (where i live), and i don't really like many
other places i've been. just about the only thing that's going to
motivate me to fly elsewhere is sex, and in that case i'm not really all
that picky about which city it's in.
> FOOD:
gnbochi, oriental noodles, anything involving peanut sauce, and those
little cups of just-add-water garlic mashed potatoes.
> COLOR:
this is sort of a foregone conclusion, isn't it?
> DRINK:
baskin robbins cappuccino blasts (motto: "better then sex"). zima (i
don't want to hear about it...), kamikazes, and gin & tonics.
> MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS:
>

nothing consistently. lots of weird ones when i'm bored. alt.fan.furry
cracks me up, for example (a newsgroup for people who fantasize about

off and on (mostly off) since 1995. recently i have been coerced into
doing so more often...

blackz's thread about the c5 sexual olympiad. he's much, much cooler
then me.

clubbing, drinking, walking in the snow, reading, starcraft (see above),
working.

both of my thumbs are double jointed. plus, i've got a really deformed
rib cage, and i'm the only person i know who CAN'T roll their tongue.

i'm going to shoot for still being alive and let the rest just kinda
flow.

these are really bad questions.

extreme honesty. unencumbered thought. clarity. unpretentiousness.
freedom and humor, and a proper sense of nihilism.
> HOW DO YOU PICTURE ALT.GOTHIC:
well, to be honest, a tight knit clique of people that on the whole i
have little in common with (which isn't to say that i don't like many of
them anyway).

Leanan Sidhe
Leanan Sidhe
to this thread is phenominal.
I mean, the point on the scrape (hee. :) is to A) get basic info out of
you but B) do it in such a wa that people get a feel for who you
*really* are.
The number of people who go through the survey and write "none. nope.
you wouldn't want to know anyway" under every column is stupid. "Too
many to list" is pointless too.... the idea of the thread is not to see
how many responses it can get, it's to actually extract some
information. Give us an idea, at least.
If you have nothing to say, keep your mouth shut. Better still, invent
something quick. :)

havent been playing any other than those. OTHER GAME: AD&D, and currently

blue, greens, dark red DRINK: Mt.Dew, Dr.Pepper, Cider, Guava juice, MASSIVE
AMOUNTS OF COFFEE, and various alcoholic beverages.
MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS:
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: I barely have time for this little rat's
nest... or rather, I rarely have the patience.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC: It'll be the completion of my first
year, come November.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE THREAD ON ALT.GOTHIC: Very difficult to pinpoint
one or two. I do, however, enjoy posts that touch the heart, or genuinely
make me think. Just discussion or debate in general, that actually has some
sort of special quality to it that truly makes me feel or think, and doesnt
degenerate into some chaotic mess of bickering.
>
> WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: Music, Drawing, Reading, Computer-geeking,
webpage creation, skateboarding, dj'ing, spending time with friends,
photography, playing music, visiting museums, painting, and I suppose I enjoy
cooking.
WHATąS THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: Depend on no one but yourself.
WHATąS IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: I can blow air out of my
tearducts, as well as lock my fingers in a hooked position (ask me to do it
sometime, it's difficult to describe)
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: Living a life of financial
security, emotional sanity, and doing whatever I desire involving art,
literature, computers, and my job.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED: The ability to understand people in all their strange ways and
motives.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: Imagination, and um.. my ass (inside
joke :p)
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: My emotional mood swings and
tangled emotions. Often times, my bitter nature and whatnot cloud my
judgement, or my cynicism and sarcasm come off sounding worse or different
than intended. Other than that, mostly just mood swings. I can be nice as
hell one minute, and snap the next.
>
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND: Honesty, respect, common interests,
overall beauty as a person.
HOW DO YOU PICTURE ALT.GOTHIC: A place of congregation. Many of the people
here are a faceless mass to me, and honestly, they can stay that way. Many of
the people here, however, have become like family to me.. brother, sister,
surrogate mother :p.. I love the friends i've found here, and to ever look at
them as just a name on a screen now, seems truly foolish.

HOW DO YOU PICTURE ALT.GOTHIC: A big white place flooded with cloud, and
everyone in it is a distant shadow. Sometimes they come into focus, say
something, and fade out; other times they stick around for a while. Sometimes
you enjoy their company, turn around, and they're gone, and you never know to
where or if you'll find them again. I think it's kind of sad like that.

>Just what, might I ask, is so strange about being 22?
>*taps foot*
Well 22 is the first non-important age you hit in a long long time. I mean
for the most part the only one you have before that is 11 that I can think
of:
12) last year of childhood.
13) first year as a teenager
14) first year of high school
15) learners permit
16) driving age
17) no longer jailbait in several states
18) adulthood, legally at least
19) last year as a teenager
20) well it's twenty need I say more
21) legal drinking age.
and 22, like 23-24 is just a non-age. There are rarely milestones (maybe
college graduation, but more and more people do that at 23) 24 is at least
old enough for the federal government to recognize your financial
independence from your parents for loans and grants and what-not.
22 is a nothing year.

Realize that you're on the downhill slide to 30, and freak out. ;)
Actually, from the time I turned 29, I was thinking of myself as already
being 30, (I used to tell people I was "about" 30 when they asked my age.)
so when 30 hit, it really wasn't all that big of a deal. So since you've
been thinking of yourself as 25, likely it won't have that big of an effect
on you.
(*31* OTOH, was a somewhat bigger deal in my case since I got reminded that,
"Hey, my 30's aren't going away. You don't just *stop* at 30, you keep
getting *older*.")
Actually, I think that weather on not you take 25 hard depends on what
you're doing with your life at the time. If you're still hanging out at the
club every weekend and having fun and stuff when you hit 25, it can be
rough, because there's that, "Hey, I'm not 'early 20's'. I'm not a kid
anymore, what am I doing with my life," thing to deal with. But in your
case, I don't think that you'll be subject to that.
OTOH, being 25 and not having kids yet, particularly if you'd planned on
having kids by that age, might do somewhat the same thing. I know that that
little absence (Being 31 with no kids.) bothers *me* at times. But
fortunately, we live in a world where it's pretty easy to put off having
kids more or less indefinitely, and I know that one of these days, I *will*
be in a position where I can have them, (And all the stuff that goes along
with them.) so it's not too big of a deal.

Overlord of Darkness
: Just what, might I ask, is so strange about being 22?
: *taps foot*
Personally, I'm sorta dreading turning 22 this December.. after all, as
long as I'm 21, I (somewhat) know my place in the universe... as a 21 year
old! Then, of course, I will fall out of that place come Dec. 7... The
magic of 21 will cease to be, and all that will remain is.. well, actually
I don't know exactly *what* will remain, but I don't see it as being a
good thing. ;P
