Jilli, did you know that I used to be a Goth?
Bweeeee! No, you never told me! Are there pictures?
But I never worked out how to be black and be a Goth
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.
Are there pictures?
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.
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?
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.
Hil, I hope you feel better soon.
