Kent (sorry, I don't type the star in Macy*s, typically, and I'm not typing your cutesy thingamajig naming conventions, kiddo)
Not a gothy reading by any stretch, but this pisses me off. His name isn't Kent. It's Kynt. It's one thing to think he has a stupid name, but that doesn't mean you get to change it for him. That's just rude.
this is not Goth the way you probably imagine it or, I believe, the way many, many people who consider themselves Goth imagine it.
And as for this...I'm failing to see the point. Some Goths aren't exactly like Kynt and Vixyn, therefore they're not Goth? Buh?

Duh, goths are all depressed all the time but K and V smile and talk to people. Obviously they're not goths.

make it stop! I have the STUPID Ch 7 ABC news commercial jingle "Look there goes another newsvan" STUCK IN MY HEAD! Why? WHY!? I don't even watch their news! Sometimes my brain confuses me, especially with it's earworm ability.
Ok, back to work for me.

The status is NOT quo.
t waves to everyone
Sheesh, what a week at work. Short version of the clusterfuck that was yesterday: some teachers who felt very angry about "not having a voice" and "being fed a load of crap" and "not getting a choice" tried to convince the entire faculty to stop teaching for an hour today in protest.
Um. WTF? How is that in any way constructive? How is punishing the students--not to mention pulling them into the middle of this screwed up situation--in any way professional?
I think that the Board handled the transition poorly, but good gods, people, if you think that THIS process was exclusive, you are living in a fantasy world. We all had the opportunity to meet with the head hunter in September, and there were TWO faculty members on the search committee. Is the board largely dominated by wealthy businesspeople with no real clue about education? Yes. But they did try to involve us, and to friggin' strike over their decision is ridiculous.
It's entirely possible that I am just fed up because I have experienced boards who really don't give a crap about the teachers or the school, but if my eyes roll any farther out of my head I may never find them again.
ETA: I'm happy to say that the majority of the faculty thought that the whole hour of no teaching thing was a crock, regardless of their other feelings, so today was business as usual.

I've heard about the Gothy couple on TAR, but not seen an episode. From everything I've read, I would consider them part of My People. It seems like the TWOP people are badly informed as to the many different strains of the Goth subculture, and I would like them to stop Making Pronouncements about people's gothness when they obviously have no clue. And spell the poor boy's name correctly, dammit.
... why yes, I feel an entire rant about this coming on. Pity I have actual work to do today.
