____ PART II: FAVORITES ____
BANDS OR MUSICIANS:
changes more often than my underwear. Although those that have remained
my consistent favorites have always been Joy Division, Cure (pre-wish),
Siouxsie, Ministry, Cyndi Lauper, Dead Can Dance, and Front 242 (old).
BOOK:
tough one. For me. Prolly "A wrinkle in Time." At this exact moment.
Mainly because I'm re-reading it.
AUTHOR:
another toughy. Douglas Adams, but that will change when I go back and
re-read some Philip K. Dick book or something.
POEM:
"Groom Falconer" -- Norman Dubie
POET:
Norman Dubie
MOVIE:
Another one that will have more than one for me. The Dark Crystal,
Return of the Jedi, Edward Scissorhands, Gone with the Wind there are lots
I really like. When I was 10 I said the dark crystal was my favorite
movie, so it gets credit for being the movie I have thought as my favorite
for the longest or something.
TELEVISION SHOW:
By far the best current thing on television is Babylon 5. I also like a

Any derivitate of the coffee bean and water.

morning, early morning, because its a rarity that I see it. But
everything is new and fresh and you can actually BREATHE the air outside.

Black... <dramtic pause> like the color of my big toe <forehead>
___PART III: OPINION QUESTIONS-n-STUFF (aka psychology)_____
*IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME AND LIVE IN ANY TIME PERIOD, PAST, PRESENT OR
FUTURE, WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE:
I'd preferably like to shop around a little beforehand. I think I'd go
for some time in the future though. Just for more technological toys.
*IF YOU WERE IN A HIGH TOWER, AND ON THE FEILD BELOW THERE WAS A BIG
GATHERING OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD YOU DON'T LIKE. AND GOD GAVE YOU
A GUN WITH ONE BULLET IN IT. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Shoot the guy holding the grenade.
* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASSTIME.
sitting in front of a computer for hours on end. the happy sound of
clickity-clackity filling the room, along with cigarette smoke. In the end
geeking. Just plain GEEKING. Other than that I like crafty things, going
to the coffee shop (with my computer) and then just being around sketchy
(without the computer).
* WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
actually sitting down and writing my autobiography and finishing it to
the point that its current
* WHAT DO YOU REGRET?
A few things. It's hard to explain. The only things I regret are the
things I do wrong that I do not learn anything from, and that only have
hurt other people.
* IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESSERT ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU
WANT WITH YOU?
(1) ACME desert island survival kit
(2) a t-3
(3) latest technology of the month membership... with shipping and
handeling paid for.
__ PART IV: ESSAY SECTION ___
DESCRIBE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOU DIDN'T THINK
THIS ADEQUATELY SAID FOR YOU:
um... well there are lots of things. This is the spring edition, as per
everyone asking me to finally post it. I think I'll chage this to every
season. Wait for the summer where I will try to make more questions. More
interesting ones or something.
:)
enjoy you silly people you.

If I didn't have to stay there I would choose the civil war era south.
Something about those hoop skirts and southern manners. (Too many romance
novels, I think) If I had to stay - probably the future... I'm too used to
modern conveniences and more equality for women.

>A GUN WITH ONE BULLET IN IT. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Probably nothing, I don't think I could take a life. Maybe I'd wound
this chick Linda that I really hate though. I think I'd try and shoot her in
the heart. (It's not a contradiction... the bitch doesn't have one)
>

Reading. Whether it's words on a screen or in a book.
>
>* WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
Anytime I have the courage to do something I'm terrified of, I'm proud.
Latest thing was de-lurking here and venturing into #altgothic on IRC. (I'm a
wuss, I admit it.)

Anytime I've hurt someone by not handling things right. And for letting
myself get so heavy in a misguided belief that it'd make me safer somehow from
emotional hurts.
>
>* IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESSERT ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU

1- Someone I like that I can actually talk to who's good at building
things :).
2- a computer to talk to other people I like with any neccessities I'd
need to run it.
3- a lot of suncreen because I'm too dame pale to survive on a desert
island without it.

I'm not really as wishy-washy as things like this make me seem. I just have a

probably an orange and blue jumpsuit. I would go to a different

I love that show! And this week they are having the 8 days of 80's
thing, and I love to watch all the 80's crap they put in there. And
the titles of the shows 'Chaity" "Self-Love" etc...is just the best. I
try to watch PUV as much as a I can, because even if i HATE the song,
i still want to read what they have to say.

Jr, Sylvia Plath, Poppy Z.Brite, Clive Barker, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Phillip
K.Dick, and Aleister Crowley.
POEM:
Actually, not a poem per se, but a ballad. It's an old celtic folk tale
of sorts, called "Thomas the Rhymer". It's about a young man who is taken to
the world of faerie to gain infinate knowledge, and then is returned to his
world, but opts to return to faerie for love of the queen..
POET:
Difficult to say, since i'm not HUGE on poetry, but i'd go with Plath
for now... I like her stuff a lot.
MOVIE:
Damn this is a long one.. here is goes..
La Femme Nikita, Legend, Dragonslayer, Far and Away, the Dark Crystal, A
Clockwork Orange, Blue Velvet, Blade Runner, Labyrinth, 12 Monkeys, The Saint,
The Hunger, ANYTHING related to Star Wars or Star Trek, Edward Scissorhands,

once an RPG), The Crow 1, Amadeus, 2001 a Space Odyssey, Powder, Silence of the
Lambs, Seven, and numerous others i'm forgetting..
TELEVISION SHOW:
There isnt a lot that impresses me anymore, but when i watch tv I go with
Babylon 5, South Park, La Femme Nikita, The Daily Show, Star Trek: DS9, The
X-Files(gotten cheesy lately), reruns of In Living Color, and the news. And,
when i can get it in on community access, our local goth/industrial video show,
Trinity By Night.
FOOD:
I dont normally eat very much, beyond that of salad, chicken or pasta
dishes, frozen dinners, or various fruits/veggies. I need to eat better..

Coffee, preferrably straight black, or an irish cream latte, apple juice,
guava juice, cider, and various types of alcohol that tend to include Ale,
Vodka, Chartreuse, Snakebite, Red Wine, Bailey's Irish Cream, or Boones
TIME OF DAY:
Night to early morning. At night is when i'm finally waking up really,
and am most productive. Its' nice out at night too. In the early morning,
everything is fresh, birds chirping, yadayada :)
COLOR:
Black, and i kinda like dark shades of green, blue, and purple.
___PART III: OPINION QUESTIONS-n-STUFF (aka psychology)_____
*IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME AND LIVE IN ANY TIME PERIOD, PAST, PRESENT OR
FUTURE, WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE:
I'd go back to the beginning of life and see if there might actually be
something to Christianity, or prove my own beliefs... it'd be interesting, and
self indulgent to my mind and it's curiousities.
*IF YOU WERE IN A HIGH TOWER, AND ON THE FEILD BELOW THERE WAS A BIG
>GATHERING OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD YOU DON'T LIKE. AND GOD GAVE YOU
A GUN WITH ONE BULLET IN IT. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Shoot god.
* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASSTIME.
Sitting on the computer for hours is the obvious one, but other than that I
like hanging out at coffee shops, roleplaying games, drawing, writing, playing
the flute, playing my synth or singing in my band, reading
horror/fantasy/philosphy/occult, and even some historical literature, listening
to music(that includes gothic, industrial, celtic, classical, and a couple
others.), arguing with my mother(which I dont enjoy, it's just a VERY common
past time), writing html, dancing, movies, smoking, and getting piss drunk.
* WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
Overcoming a small amount of my low self esteem to finally find at least an
ounce of worth in myself, and stand up for who i am and do what i need to do
for me. Long story, it isnt meant to be melodramatic.
* WHAT DO YOU REGRET?
A lot of things that none of you people need to know.
* IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESSERT ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU
WANT WITH YOU?
A computer with all the latest software and unlimited internet access
A particular person to keep me company
A bunch of dungeons and dragons stuff and paper/pencils so I'd have SOMETHING
to do in my spare time.
>__ PART IV: ESSAY SECTION ___
>DESCRIBE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOU DIDN'T THINK
>THIS ADEQUATELY SAID FOR YOU:
There's a lot of things, but one that's crept up a lot lately is my inability
to have patience in certain situations, even though i'm indecisive about what i
want to do.. Be it telling a friend I care for them, or moving out of my
house, I dont like sitting around and waiting and thinking, even though I do it
anyway. The reason I dont like to wait and think for hours in some situations,
particularly stressful ones, is that it depresses me at times..
>enjoy you silly people you.
Thanks, this gave me something to do for an hour or so :)
>(who knows she forgot something I *really* wanted to ask on here)
And you'll burn in hell for it, I swear!!!! :)

Time's fingers close, i'm losing hold....

> A GUN WITH ONE BULLET IN IT. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Well, firstly I don't believe in God... but anyway... I'd probably throw the

seeing as I know nothing about guns and don't really want to.

Listening to my favorite music, going dancing, reading.

The fact that I'm happy with myself at this point in life.

a bed, a pillow, and some really comfy comforters so i could just
wrap myself in a cocoon and sleep for asl ong as i could until i wasted
away into a sweet mothingness (of course in reality i would begin to starve
and get sick from exposure to rain, and if you passed by you would see this
haggard looking young man convulsing and dying so slowly) maybe i should
have cut and paste this in the essay section :)

cool and has a cello in the background. three days in rome i'm guessing

I sometimes regret having got married a few years ago, but then if I had

I don't regret it so much, and what I don't regret for sure is having gone
through the divorce procedure (long and painful as it was) last year and
the year before that.

I think over the past few years i've calmed down a bit. I still
flame, but I'm not as quick to jump the gun anymore. I've begun sticking
up for more people...which is wierd for me. I don't know, I feel like
I've gone thorough so much growing up and so many changes since I started
ag. I should do a dejanews search and read my oldest stuff...

!>
!>*IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME AND LIVE IN ANY TIME PERIOD, PAST, PRESENT OR

I think it would have been pretty fun to be a beat. Besides, if you start
getting into renissance/dark ages/ etc you get low life spans, disease a
plenty, and personal hygine lacking in some of our modern comforts.
Sorry, but I can't live without running water and I don't care what anyone
says about me for it.

Hmmm, have a heart attack because beings I'm not too firm on the existance
of are giving me weapons? I'm betting I would Toss the gun aside, or fire
into the air because I'm too chicken to ever kill someone.
!>* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASSTIME.
either painting or this.. :)
!>* WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
Actuall, it would be two things: my art (which I have really been
slacking off on lately),espically the shows I've been in, and my radio
show since it impresses the hell out of people ;)
!>* WHAT DO YOU REGRET?
Not much. Well, nithing actually. I am of the opinion that everything
happens for a reason, and even negative expierences help to make you into
the person you are,
!>
!>* IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESSERT ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU
!>WANT WITH YOU?
OK, I'm assuming there is food and drinking water on said island.
Otherwise, I would be an idiot to ask for anything else. Keeping that in
mind,
1. my music
2. a stereo
3. art stuff
Cheating, I know, but what will you do about it?

forth<LOL>. it took me til the summer of 94 to figure out how to use
my Unix shell account and to get the nerve to post. i remember the
first netscrape thread.
<snipped the favorites, and all of the rest of the stuff i don't care
to waste bandwidth on, you can find it out if you bother to read my
posts>
essay answer: i'm deeply saddened by the changes that have occurred
in this newsgroup and if i could go back in a time machine and change
something, this group would be number one on my list...first off i
would take back half of the silly flame wars i got into or started,
one that stands out is the -Jen goddess one, if you're out there -Jen,
you're contribution to a.g was a million times more interesting than
anything i seen here in the past few months. secondly, i would have
gone to the 1st convergence. thirdly i would have archieved all of my
posts for posterity. and lastly i would have pissed off petro on
purpose to get my flame ratherly than just asking for a b-day flame
that i never received.
well, there are goodthings that came out of a.g...dc net.goths meet
and all the people on blah that i got to meet because of it. meeting
the richmond goths, and getting to become friends with a certain oddly
strange female and her cat. posting all the time improved my typing
skills and my puter skills which turned into my career. how
profoundly one can be affected by people you've never seen face to
face. and how people can seem normal online and very scary(in a bad
way) in Real Life(tm).
Sadly, i don't see very many more goodthings(tm) coming out of this
group anymore.

<these are the EVIL questions!!!!>
> BANDS OR MUSICIANS:
Geh. There are the constant favs: Bauhaus, Joy Division, Sisters,
The Cure. There are the current favs that will prolly become constant
favs: Project Pitchfork, Attrition, haujobb, :wumpscut:
> BOOK:
*grumbles* To pin it down to one, I'd have to say _Pillars of
the Earth_ by Ken Follett. But I'd also have to list about five
million others. I hate these questions. There is no one answer.
> AUTHOR:
In general, I'd have to say Bruce Bethke, Neal Stephenson,
William Gibson, Ayn Rand, Kate Chopin, Colette, Anais Nin, George
Orwell, Aldous Huxley, E.M. Forster, Camus, Orson Scott Card,
Richard Bach, etc., etc.

Geh. I'm not a big poetry fan. Probably "since feeling is
first" by e.e. cummings
> POET:
e.e. cummings, though I also really like Sappho
> MOVIE:
*twitches* Um.... fav of all time so far would have to be
_A Room With a View_, followed closely by the Star Wars Trilogy,
The Dark Crystal, Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink,
Reality Bites, Bladerunner, The Indiana Jones Trilogy, Clerks,
the Addams Family movies, Nightmare B4 Xmas, Edward Scissorhands,
plus a million others...

*hears brain cells bursting from agony of decision* Having a History
degree, this is rather a difficult question. Ancient Greece, to meet Sappho,
the late middle ages, so I could join/understand a crusade, the middle
1400s, to see who really invented the printing press, early 1500s, to
meet Martin Luther, 1530s, to meet John Calvin, the vatican in the mid
1500s to see the backlash of the Reformation, in Spain at this time to
try to understand the Inquisition (and about 200 years earlier as well),
to be born in modern-day Japan, the future? nah. Maybe, as oddly said, to
get toys (like VR), but other than that I'm not that interested...
I'm honestly afraid of what the world will end up like....

> * WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASTTIME.
(This doesn't include sex, right?)
Geeking out in front of my computer, playing Civ, reading news,
listening to music, and eating junk food. Dancing and dancing w/o
losing my balance to all of my favorite music, feeling it flow through
me and inspire me. Reading, obsessed by words.
> * WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
Having the strength to break up with Josh, though the strength
was borrowed and I did it for the entirely wrong reasons. *sighs*
That and getting out of my depression.
That and getting my tattoo, which symbolizes a couple of
important things...

Most of the things that I regret are things that I did not do.

____ PART II: FAVORITES ____
BANDS OR MUSICIANS:
R.E.M..... I will love them forever
Skinny Puppy
and others too numerous to name
BOOK:
Damn, that's a toughie... although I'd have to say When Rabbit Howls
by the Troops for Truddi Chase.
AUTHOR:
I'd have to say Douglas Adams
POEM:
I hanestly couldn't say, as I haven't read poetry in a long time.
POET:
Ditto.
MOVIE:
"Solome" and "The Forbidden" by Clive Barker
TELEVISION SHOW:
Well, the only things I watch on TV are the X-Files and South Park.
But if I happen to be home at 9 pm, I'll definitely watch the nightly
rerun of Star Trek: TNG
FOOD:
Another toughie... French bread with pesto sauce,
cheese pizza, anything chocolate

I've been really partial to whiskey sours and Long Islands lately.

hanging around with my friends.
Or sleeping.

That on May 9 I will get my B.S.
I've gone through hell i couldn't have imagined... and survived.

I
really feel about him when I had the chance. But hopefully I'll have
another
chance someday.
Otherwise: powerful, beautiful, and without regret.

Functional cell phone (call for help)
Cherry coke (If I'm in the desert, fuck what the dentist says)

Sleep is temporary suicide.
If Mt. Rushmore is the Shrine to Democracy,
is Rushmore Mall the Shrine to Mediocrity?
Don't throw yourself upon the kindness of strangers; it's a long way to fall.

after midnight, genius, most shades of blue, anything noble or royal,
happy old women, escape, horror, anything arabesque, pink grapefruit
juice, the smell of jasmine or honeysuckle or mimosa, desperate young
women, the moment just before sleep, Pirates of the Caribbean, tourists
from Germany, pelting rain, statues of the Madonna, statues of beautiful
young men, my destiny, pools at cheap motels, divorced waitresses that
smoke while they wait on you and call you 'honey', empathy, a moonlit
walk down a path strangely overgrown by trees, echoes, freedom, ancient
ruins, Kate Bush, burial at sea, other people's nightmares, eternal
purple twilights while dressed in soft air glow white, the Mojave Desert
while dressed in clinging sweaty white, dressing in black, immense
distance or depth, easy conversation, other people's weddings, a long
shallow kiss with lips only slightly intertwined, a sudden deep kiss,
orgasm, the smell of cut grass, the thought that someday I will smoke a
pipe, other people's nametags, being deep and alone in the forest,
anything windswept, the following words: wasteland, wanderer, oblique,
away, reunion, and schism; leaving Kalifornia for Seattle, leaving,
quitting a job, Guenevire, bravery, loyalty, honesty, Ireland, reading
by candlelight, reading to a friend, heavy quilts in the winter, wise
old men, and last but not least...

Therapist 1: Had about a five year relationship and then he got caught fondling
his female clients. That's OK, he was milking me like a cash cow anyway.
Therapsit 2: Didn't do squat except put me on PROZAC. (whee!)
Therapist 3: Told me I was too full of anger to deal with and then dumped me.
Therapist 4: Well we will see. Just started since I have been posting to AG
(that's not ment to be an insult or to be funny)

26
BIRTHDAY:
March 5 (still hung over)
HEIGHT:
6'
WEIGHT:
155
CURRENT HAIRCOLOR:
Dark brown
THE HAIRCOLOR GENETICS GRANTED YOU:
Dark brown
HAIRSTYLE:
Shaved sides and back, top parted in middle - hangs just past ear
length now. Went out to dinner with my parents for my birthday... my mom
said, "you shouldn't part your hair in the middle, it makes your nose
look big." Thanks, mom.
EYE COLOR:
Blue on the outside, green on the inside (really!)
SHOE SIZE:
9 1/2
SEX (not the kind you HAVE the kind you ARE):
Male
SEX (the kind you have):
Not since December (she was a slut anyway). Pursuing 3 different
women at the moment.
OCCUPATION:
Software engineer. Currently being courted for project management,
but very uncertain if that's what I want to do. Involved in an up-and-
coming industrial band that will hopefully become profitable soon.
RELIGION:
Agnostic. Believe that most myths and legends are actually records
of alien influence on our prehistory. Yes, the kind from outer space.
It's a long story...
BACKGROUND:
German, English, Eastern European
COMPUTER YOU'RE ON:
Dell Dimension P200 (work), Gateway PPro200 (home) (96 megs RAM,
now we're cookin')
TIME YOU'VE BEEN ON ALT.GOTHIC (the how big is your dick question)
Not exactly sure, been reading the group for several years on and
off.
____ PART II: FAVORITES ____
BANDS OR MUSICIANS:
Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Front 242, Front Line
Assembly, Cubanate, Manson, Godflesh, C-TEC, Prong, Portishead, Autechre,
Bjork, God Lives Underwater, Helmet, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains,
Primus. And of course my own band, Chew's Eye Shop. Don't try to
understand all of this. :)

reading "Principles of Live Sound Reinforcement." :)

Pass.
POEM:
Pass.

Pass.
MOVIE:
Star Wars Trilogy, Blade Runner, The Abyss, Brazil, City of Lost
Children, Desperado, Tarantino movies, Blues Brothers, Monty Python
movies. Currently trying to collect all of these on DVD.
TELEVISION SHOW:
Don't watch it. Only use the TV for movies.
FOOD:
Pasta, especially fettucine alfredo.
DRINK:
Water or beer.
TIME OF DAY:
Around 3:00 AM when the roads and sidewalks are clear.
COLOR:
Not sure. Used to be red, haven't thought about it lately.
___PART III: OPINION QUESTIONS-n-STUFF (aka psychology)_____
*IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME AND LIVE IN ANY TIME PERIOD, PAST, PRESENT
OR
FUTURE, WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE:
Hmmm. I'd like to live in some sort of hybrid universe that looks
like the Renaissance but has better plumbing. Maybe like a big old castle
with full Net access and a recording studio down in the dungeon. Or how
about a Pyramid out in the desert with its own airstrip.
*IF YOU WERE IN A HIGH TOWER, AND ON THE FEILD BELOW THERE WAS A BIG
GATHERING OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD YOU DON'T LIKE. AND GOD GAVE YOU
A GUN WITH ONE BULLET IN IT. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Start playing the Electric Slide. When they line up, pop off a
round straight through 'em all.
* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASSTIME.
Going out on the weekends. Sitting in my home studio and making
music.
* WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
Getting my pilot's license recently.
* WHAT DO YOU REGRET?
Too long of a story to tell here. The one social situation that
forever altered my perception of the human race. Maybe there was more I
could have done, I guess I'll never know.
* IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESSERT ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU
WANT WITH YOU?
A dessert island? I'd want a healthy appetite. On a desert island,
I'd want a Cessna, a short runway, and a full tank of gas. :)

_Terminal Cafe_ by Ian McDonald. One of the last books I read for fun.

>*IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME AND LIVE IN ANY TIME PERIOD, PAST, PRESENT OR
>FUTURE, WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE:
Definitely the future...at least 100 years. If you're
gonna time travel, might as well maximize the level of
reality check. Historical figures are all well & good, but
I'd wanna see something that I have *no idea* what the
fuck it is. Since I have no desire to drop acid...
>*IF YOU WERE IN A HIGH TOWER, AND ON THE FEILD BELOW THERE WAS A BIG
>GATHERING OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD YOU DON'T LIKE. AND GOD GAVE YOU
>A GUN WITH ONE BULLET IN IT. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Take advantage of my elevated position & obvious
weapon to get their attention. I'd then speak to them & try to
work up some sort of infighting. Failing that, I guess I'd shoot
the one that annoyed me most recently...or perhaps it would
be a balancing test between the most annoying person &
the most sure shot.
>* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASSTIME.
That would be a three way tie between mucking about
on the computer, drinking cider at the clubs, and
having writhing, lascivious sexual encounters.
>* WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
Managing to stay in school despite my intense loathing of
the Socratic method of instruction.
>* WHAT DO YOU REGRET?
Screw regret. I'm still alive, & I've learned things. Regret just
wastes time, & as the quote says, "Nostalgia isn't what it used
to be." It's far too easy to romanticize the past & start second
guessing yourself.
>* IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESSERT ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU

1.) net.access
2.) a beautiful & intelligent woman prone to spontaneous acts
of decadence
3.) a tardis

*IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME AND LIVE IN ANY TIME PERIOD, PAST,
PRESENT OR
FUTURE, WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE:
Presumably, everyone else has already said the 17th century,
so.... I'll go with somewhere around 2010 or 2020. why? Becuase then
there'd be better technology, but it wouldn't be such a different
world that I couldn't fit in.
*IF YOU WERE IN A HIGH TOWER, AND ON THE FEILD BELOW THERE WAS A BIG
GATHERING OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD YOU DON'T LIKE. AND GOD GAVE
YOU
A GUN WITH ONE BULLET IN IT. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Give it back. I don't believe in god, so He can't give me
bullets.
* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASSTIME.
Other than the obvious net-geeking, people. Watching them,
interacting with them. Making up for being a complete shut-in for
most of my adolescence.
* WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
Going up against my personal demons and winning.
* WHAT DO YOU REGRET?
I have a long list of very exact memories of eveything I've
done that made me feel like an ass. I regret these things somewhat,
but more, I regret making that list.
* IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESSERT ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD
YOU
WANT WITH YOU?
1) A library.
2) An SGI Onyx2 w/ all the bells and whistles including
webserver and T3
3) A scorpio collection.

I'm currently going through my second major life-evaluation. The first one
was when I realised I had just spent 8 years on the road, had no life,
friends and rarely saw my family. The second one happened last year when I
woke up to have a priest giving me the last rites after having miraculously
survived being thrown 50ft out of a car over the top of rush hour traffic.
It really does make you look at life differently.
Oh, and I hate ticklebitch.

Yes is that's time of the year. Time to describe yourself to the
netscrape, time for oldbies to show how they've changed, newbies to expose
themselves and lurkers to delurk in the safety of the biggest poll thread
to grace this group:
----------------------------------------------------
Describe Yourself to the Netscrape Spring 1998 Show
----------------------------------------------------
To participate answer *all* of the handy dandy questions below:
_PART 1: THE BASICS:_____
NET-NAME:
Lost Alice
REAL NAME:
ask if curious
LOCATION IN THE WORLD:
Berkeley, CA
AGE:
21
BIRTHDAY:
13 August
HEIGHT:
5'10"
WEIGHT:
i try not to notice actual digits... but i am pretty average
CURRENT HAIRCOLOR:
blonde, soon to be blue-black
THE HAIRCOLOR GENETICS GRANTED YOU:
blonde
HAIRSTYLE:
currently long, straight and wonderlandish
EYE COLOR:
green
SHOE SIZE:
10
SEX (not the kind you HAVE the kind you ARE):
female
SEX (the kind you have):
not nearly enough... ahhh, the lonely life of a bachelorette
OCCUPATION:
currently completing a BA in philosophy at UC Berkeley, also part-time dj
at college radio station (KALX 90.7FM) and recently appointed peeon at
Rasputin Records.
RELIGION:
currently worshiping the cult heroes of The Cure.
BACKGROUND:
Dutch, Irish, plus a mixture of genetic material from other easily sun
burnable peoples.
COMPUTER YOU'RE ON:
Dell Latitude LM 166MMX (win'95)
TIME YOU'VE BEEN ON ALT.GOTHIC (the how big is your dick question)
Off and on since the summer of '95. I post very infrequently (there is
entirely too much traffic on this newsgroup to keep up with), I mostly delurk
for amusement and the occasional giggle.
____ PART II: FAVORITES ____
BANDS OR MUSICIANS:
My musical preferences are ever-changing, however I have been a most loyal
listener to The Cure, Siouxsie, The Legendary Pink Dots, Soft Cell, Joy
Division, Beethoven, Spiritualized, Switchblade Symphony (although I'm not
fond of their newest release), Miranda Sex Garden, Moz, Madonna, Sex
Pistols... well you get the picture.
BOOK:
My literary preferences are also ever-changing, however I am currently
rereading Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil, and have come to realize how
influential it has been on my life.
AUTHOR:
I admire many authors, however Lewis Carroll is of particular interest
because of his unique skill in making something as utterly dry and boring as
logic into something completely silly and wacky.
POEM:
"The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" by William Blake... well, not really a
poem, but it was the first work to spring to mind.
POET:
Sylvia Plath and Rainer Maria Rilke
MOVIE:
I am a film junkie... a very small sampling of my favorites include: Alice
in Wonderland (of course), Labrinth, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice,
come to think of it... all Tim Burton films, Heathers, Say Anything, most
Monty Python and Woody Allen flicks, Evil Dead, The Brood, Dune, Breakfast at
Tiffany's, The Last Unicorn, Bon Nuit, A Clockwork Orange, etc.
TELEVISION SHOW:
I am currently without a tv, but when i visit others, I beg them to turn on
the Simpsons, old Star Trek or I Love Lucy reruns, bad Brittish comedy,
wildlife mating specials, trashy soap operas or Jerry Springer.
FOOD:
Anything except beastie flesh. I used to be a vegan, but I could not give
up good cheese nor chocolate. I love to cook most anything though.
DRINK:
Anything that does not resemble Draino, Windex or any other cleaning
liquid.
TIME OF DAY:
that time right before dozing off to sleep, or that fuzzy half-conscious
period right before waking up on a Sunday afternoon.
COLOR:
YELLOW!! okay, not really... I like purple a lot though.
___PART III: OPINION QUESTIONS-n-STUFF (aka psychology)_____
*IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME AND LIVE IN ANY TIME PERIOD, PAST, PRESENT OR
FUTURE, WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE:
I would live 12-16 million light-years ago, right after the big bang... I
love fireworks.
*IF YOU WERE IN A HIGH TOWER, AND ON THE FEILD BELOW THERE WAS A BIG
GATHERING OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD YOU DON'T LIKE. AND GOD GAVE YOU
A GUN WITH ONE BULLET IN IT. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
I would ask God why she tempted me so... and why she encourages violence
and destruction in her supposed creations. Then I would blow the head off of
the bastard who intentionally ran over my kitty in the 4th grade.
* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASSTIME.
Answering cheesy computer polls that nobody wants to read because nobody
knows who I am, nor particularly cares.
* WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
My decision to leave home and move to Berkeley to follow my passion for
philosophy, regardless of parental disapproval or my consequential destiny as
an unemployable, babbling street person.
* WHAT DO YOU REGRET?
Some things entirely private in nature.
* IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESSERT ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU
WANT WITH YOU?
(1) a broom with a dust pan.
(2) a gallon of salt water
(3) a bottle of cocoa butter sun tan oil
__ PART IV: ESSAY SECTION ___
DESCRIBE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOU DIDN'T THINK
THIS ADEQUATELY SAID FOR YOU:
Now that you've read an entire post of information about someone you have
never seen nor even knew existed... disregard it all. It is all a lie written
by a pimply-faced 14 year old computer geek who got bored color coding his
socks.

> ____ PART II: FAVORITES ____
>
> BANDS OR MUSICIANS:
Today: Ethyl Meatplow. It comes from having to talk with the public too
much today.
> BOOK:
Right now: Gore Vidal's Palimpsest. Got to see him in person last week. A
major experience, as he is gother than anyone I have ever known. Who else
fucked Kerouac and didn't mention it for 40 years? Sytle, that.
> AUTHOR:
Right now: Re-reading Faustus. Will be back into Vidal as well.
> POEM:
Anything by Rumi or Shakespeare.
> POET:
Authors of above, settling on Shakespeare.
> MOVIE:
Brazil, Benny & Joon, Legend, lots of others, all slightly off...
> TELEVISION SHOW:
As little as possible, excepting some of the sci-fi stuff on.
> FOOD:
On a healthier eating trek these days. Usually happens about this time of
year, as lots of relatives seem to kick off about now. April _is_ the
cruelest month...

Water. Lots of it. I don't know why....

Dusk, when the sun turns everything golden and the whole planet actually

Cobalt blue. Yes, not black. So there.
> *IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME AND LIVE IN ANY TIME PERIOD, PAST, PRESENT OR

The early 17th century, England, so I could stop an idiot ancestor from
chopping Charles I's head off and stop this whole mess that became my
family in America. I would also, of course, come back with lots of pretty
clothes for all of the kind folks here.
I would also pop back to the antedeluvian times, find out where the
atlanteans hid their shit, and use all the neato technology to prevent
fascism from being implemented at all. I would also make sure that all
germans would simply _hate_ to drink beer and sing at the same time.
> *IF YOU WERE IN A HIGH TOWER, AND ON THE FEILD BELOW THERE WAS A BIG

Blow god's ugly fucking head off and turn the pistol into an object of
worship. Then I would be the High Priest of all those people I don't like
and I could set about "fixing" them. (well, at least one of those things
came true....)
> * WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASSTIME.
As of now, daydreaming about blowing god's head off. Before about 10
seconds ago, taking walks in the canyon near my house. No humans, lots of
deer, and silence.
> * WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
Being at my father's bedside when he died.
> * WHAT DO YOU REGRET?
Only one thing--not going on an expedition to the North Pole.
> * IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESSERT ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU
> WANT WITH YOU?
I would resurrect the dead god, apologize for shooting him, and then tell
him to get me three things: (1) a replicator, (2) a really vast library,
and (3) TSM, so I would have someone to throw all the books at.
> __ PART IV: ESSAY SECTION ___

Don't believe everything you read, just the good parts that you might use
to change your life.
Nothing ever adequately describes any one person at all. Each of us, with
the above noted exceptions under the tower, is so much larger than
language. Most just don't know it yet.
Hell, life just was not designed for the printed page....

Right now? Psychotica, Self, Sisters, Dead Can Dance, Elastica, Babes in
Toyland, Veruca Salt (old favorite), Ani Difranco (might see her in
concert this April!), Bahaus, Luscious Jackson, Enigma, Tool, black tape,
Rammstein, Thrill Kill Cult, NIN, and lots of other CDs I can't afford..
>BOOK:
Imajica by Clive Barker. Favorite kid book: Stonewords by Pam Conrad,
anyone ever read that? Right now I'm reading Finnegan's Wake and One Flew
Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and after that Atlas Shrugged if I have enought
willpower to actually get through it.

>MOVIE:
Ooh, a lot! Right now my favorite one is an indie movie called All Over
Me. Also like Slacker (plotless movie about Austin, TX), Heathers,
Foxfire, The Neverending Story (my favorite as a kid), Stephen King's The
Stand, Welcome To The Dollhouse, stuff with Jay and Silent Bob (like
Clerks), Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, RHPS, Hellraiser (just cuz it was
the first scary movie I ever saw), The Fifth Element (if for none other
reason than that it was pretty), etc..
>TELEVISION SHOW:

>*IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME AND LIVE IN ANY TIME PERIOD, PAST, PRESENT OR
>FUTURE, WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE:
In the past: Ancient Egypt and Greece. I'd want to live by the Nile or in
Athens with somebody I truly, truly loved. I'd miss the technology, but
I'd be in a much more beautiful environment. I get the impression that
people were open-minded back then, especially in Greece. It would be cool
to meet Jesus.. not because I worship him but because he was no doubt an
interesting person.
More recent times: The sixties, because so much interesting shit happened
during that decade.
Future: A time when either a) people make contact with other civilizations
or b) THE APOCALYPSE IS HERE! Both would be fun.

I'd shoot that fellow who gave me the gun. ;)
>* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASSTIME.
Painting, writing, playing the guitar. All things creative, except that I
never have the time to do them anymore! Being with all my friends when
we're not being obnoxious to one another. Daydreaming about the future.
>* WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
Learning how to be and appreciate myself.
>* WHAT DO YOU REGRET?
Being so fucken lazy all the time.
If not for laziness, I'd be so much smarter and more talented than I am
now. I'd have much better relationships with people. I'd have accomplished
so many great things. I'd be a better person, period. But that bitch
laziness keeps pushing me down.

don't post much. thanks to agsf teachings, i have 4 tossed heads impaled on the
office bullitin board from the office account! thanks oddlystrange & all for your
teachings.)
____ PART II: FAVORITES ____
BANDS OR MUSICIANS: i'm too old for this, do i have to?

___PART III: OPINION QUESTIONS-n-STUFF (aka psychology)_____
*IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME AND LIVE IN ANY TIME PERIOD, PAST, PRESENT OR
FUTURE, WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE:
wow, that's a hard one. sure to live in the past like oh, anytime from mideval to
edwardian england/europe. then of course the problems of plague, disease, etc.
come into play. how does all that work with time travel, etc. maybe 18 c.
vienna.
*IF YOU WERE IN A HIGH TOWER, AND ON THE FIELD BELOW THERE WAS A BIG
GATHERING OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD YOU DON'T LIKE. AND GOD GAVE YOU
A GUN WITH ONE BULLET IN IT. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
change the premise to anyone i'm still holding a grudge against. tell them i've
got a whole box of ammo up here, give them a count of ten to
getthefuckoutofmysight, and pull the trigger. i feel much better,
thankyouverymuch. hypotheticallly speaking of course.

i'm researching my family history. just found a connection back to 1639 in
dedham mass.
* WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
friendships kept since before kindergarten.

my mean streak

__ PART IV: ESSAY SECTION ___
DESCRIBE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOU DIDN'T THINK
THIS ADEQUATELY SAID FOR YOU:
the above may make me sound very boring, but hey, i've had time to sparkle in the
moonlight. i used to be so concerned with making my hair look like robert smith's
or that i had the pointiest shoes and/or boots around, or that i was mopier than
all the rest, or that i went out to the clubs all the time and stayed till 4am or
that i went to all the shows. i've grown up and now i am content in being who i
am and enjoying who i always was, a woman with a dark nature who appreciates the
beauty in all life and death. (gheese did i just write that? ack!)
i still hang with the same friends, appreciate the same music - cocteau twins, to
siouxsie to the damned to tld to changelings to the breeders to too many to list.
a past boyfriend said i had the worst music collection - such a scenester he was.
i just enjoy reading what others have to say here on a.g and seeing how universal
this whole group is no matter who comes along.
thanks for reading.

COMPUTER YOU'RE ON: Pentium 2 233
TIME YOU'VE BEEN ON ALT.GOTHIC (the how big is your dick question)

Neil Gaiman, David Eddings, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and many
others too numerous to list

___PART III: OPINION QUESTIONS-n-STUFF (aka psychology)_____
*IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME AND LIVE IN ANY TIME PERIOD, PAST,
PRESENT OR FUTURE, WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE:
I'd scope out the timefield first. I'd like to go back to see if that
Jesus fellow was really all he's cracked up to be (and bring a video
camera along with me *grin*). I don't know. I sort of like this
time period. Maybe somewhere near the start of the 20th century, or
possibly the Romantic period (if I were upper class, that is :)).
Maybe further into the future. The only reason I would want to live
in another time period is because of the people. So if I could hop
around, discussing philosophy with Socrates; English with Eliot, art
and science with Leonardo, that would be just fine with me.
*IF YOU WERE IN A HIGH TOWER, AND ON THE FEILD BELOW THERE WAS A BIG
GATHERING OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD YOU DON'T LIKE. AND GOD GAVE
YOU A GUN WITH ONE BULLET IN IT. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Why is God encouraging killing again? :)
Shoot God, and take his place, then with my newfound Godly powers,
grant everyone in the world a fuckin Cl00. Then desend down from the
heavens, have a press confrence, invite Jerry Falwell and all his
Fundamentalist weenies, and mention how much I love the show Ellen. :)
* WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASSTIME.
Doing things on my computer (the net, and what not). Playing stupid
videogames that I like :). Reading. Writing, playing my guitar,
occasionally painting. Listening to music. Just chatting with a
friend.
* WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF
I suppose my intelligence.
* WHAT DO YOU REGRET?
Having regrets. Having to live in this town :).
* IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESSERT ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD
YOU WANT WITH YOU?
1) A computer w/ net access and a place to plug in the computer (it
counts as one thing. Bite me :))
2) A loved one
3) An airplane
__ PART IV: ESSAY SECTION ___

THINK THIS ADEQUATELY SAID FOR YOU:
Can't think of anything. Ask and I'll answer :)

Has anyone else noticed that a seemingly huge percentage of us (espically
us girls) have red hair? For some reason, I expected more black then red,
but it doesn't look like it.
