Oh, poor Trin.
And he says he's not a Goth.
Aw, bless his misguided black heart.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pete's not a what???
Jilli, did you know that I used to be a Goth? I'm not sure I've ever copped to my fake Gothness. But I do remember seeing the first iteration of my web site (back when people actually *did* personal web sites) on a list of Goth sites. And there was Goth clubbing in Detroit.
But I never worked out how to be black and be a Goth, and also I am too random to be anything.

Bweeeee! No, you never told me! Are there pictures?

I have a whole post on GCS about such a thing, and had many people carefully beta-read for me, because I did not want to do any well-intentioned white lady RaceFail.

Not a single one! But I have a suspicion that I posted on Goth newsgroups, with that very question--how do melanin and Gothery work together? I still don't think I could do it justice, so it's just dark vampy clothing on me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Update. I am home, roommate is home. I don't know if she's read my email, but she hasn't answered. I'm out of the kitchen, I think.
Dear lord, so tired. One of my favorite bands is playing tomorrow, and I don't think I'm going to be able to go.

Hmmph. I am certain you could do it justice. Man, I would love to get you all gothed up and go dancing with you. That would be so much fun.
But I suspect that your reasons are similar to the ones Pete has about how he's not a Goth. He says he's not into the music and the lifestyle as much as someone who is a Goth should be. Which means he's secretly an elitist Gother-Than-Thou type, which makes me giggle.

Aw, you don't have to make that call right now! A lot can happen between now and then. Also, who's playing and where?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Blech. I still feel all blah. It's just a cold, but my throat is killing me and I'm having some trouble breathing, and I don't have a fever but feel kind of feverish.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I love them!
