Goth Challenge- Day 9

Day 9 – What genre of music do you dislike?

RAP. I hate it. Its just talking fast with meaningless lyrics about being an ass. A rich ass. I once heard (read) someone say it stands for "Retards Attempting Poetry" (Not that I approve of using "Retard" as an insult.)

I also hate a lot of pop now. Ever since I was introduced to people who can actually sing without autotune, and have meaningful lyrics, Katy Perry and Bruno Mars annoy me. I never actually liked Bruno Mars. And he sounds like he would be an annoying boyfriend. "Do I look okay?" "When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would cha-" "I just wanted to know if this outfit looked nice! Why are you talking about my face?!" And of course... How would catching a grenade help anyone? How about deactivating it? Or PUSHING HER OUT OF THE WAY?!

But I still love Glee, so I can't say I dislike pop...


GLEE INFO:

In the first episode of the new season, BLAINE WILL TRANSFER TO MCKINLEY! We get more Darren! But wait... What will he wear? All he ever wears is a blazer... And no! I wanted to get a Dalton blazer! If they stop using Dalton, no blazer!
But I think I knew Blaine would be transferring. It has a hint at the concert I went to. Watch this.

New episode on the 27th! Please tell me someone in America without BBC America knows where to watch it. I watched season 6 on xfinity, how long do they take to upload the episodes?

Goth Challenge, day 8

Day 8 – What's your worst and best experience with non-Goths?

I don't really have them. Oh, come on, people! I was in a black lace top, a long black velvet skirt and has black boots! COMMENT ON IT! STARE! DO SOMETHING! (actual outfit today. Side note: I saw a lady in a sari today at the grocery store. So awesome.)

The worst would have to be This, but that's online.

Goth Challenge: day 3-7!

I feel like doing more than one today. LIVE WITH IT! I'm in a better mood today than I have been all week, even though I was cleaning my room and my back and arms hurt like hell for some unkown reason. I give credit to the tea. English breakfast is nice. Maybe Emilie wasn't wrong about Medicating with tea.

Anyway...

Day 3- When did you come out of the Goth closet?

Like a week after I decided I liked it. Maybe two. But, er, maybe I'm still a bit in it. Because I don't see a lot of people regularly (Friend that still lives in this state has had family visiting for most of the summer. Friend in florida is... In florida. There hasn't been a holiday, so I haven't seen a lot of my family.) and I'm not going to announce "Hey everyone, I'm a goth now!"

Day 4- Name a stereotype or cliche you can relate to.

- Spiderwebs. They are pretty... As long as there aren't spiders. They are creepy.
- HALLOWEEN. Sure, after hearing about it in England (People actually dress scary?) it seems more lame, and I've always looked down upon those short skirt Alice in wonderland dresses or something, but it was always fun to dress up. Usually I was a cat. One year I was a princess. Once a skunk. A witch a few times. And a vampire (Super cool dress I wish I still had- It had wings!). And black and glittery, costume gloves and devil horns... Why did I not consider goth before?
- Does tea count?
- Fairy tales. I think this might be a cliche for goths. I LOVE fairy tales, often times the re-told ones (like Ella Enchanted- Fun fact: It took me most of the book to realise that it was Cinderella._
- Historical fantasy- Okay, this goes with fairy tales. But while I never really cared for history (American history is so dull!) I would love to hear of a medieval princess. Maybe add some magic.
- Probably some more...

Day 5 – Is there a local Goth band or group in your area?
No idea...

Day 6 – Hand write your favourite lyric and take a picture.
I do not have a favorite lyric, and my handwriting looks like a 6 year old's.

Day 7 – Ten of your favourite goth bands.
Er... I don't know if I have ten *goth* bands. I'm picky with music- Its rare that I'll ever like ten bands at the same time. But, here we go!

1

EMILIE AUTUMN

No surprise, if you've read any of my blog... She is AMAZING. Current favorite: Shalott (After the poem "The Lady of Shalott"). And With Every Passing Day. And Rapunzel. And Asleep.



2

VOLTAIRE

He can sing. His lyrics are funny. The music doesn't murder my ears. I like that. Current favorite: Beast of Pirate's Bay

3

VERMILLION LIES

It seems to be a fairly unknown band... Their music is quite strange, but nice. Current favorite: Wednesday's Child.

4

DRESDEN DOLLS

Okay, so I only listen to two of their songs. So what? They are Coin Operated Boy and Backstabber.

5

THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE

I didn't know if I should list this one... I like one song. Always.

And... Yeah that's where my goth band list ends. Ah well. I'll list others anyway.

6

DARREN CRISS

Darren <3 He sounds AMAZING live (he started in plays about Harry Potter, of course he does), he can act as either a totally awesome Harry Potter or as Blaine on glee (totally opposite characters), and he is just a great person. I want to marry meet him. Curren favorite: The muse (This is LIVE)

7

CHRIS COLFER

Better known as Kurt from Glee, with sadly not many solos :( And Chris Colfer is another great and funny person. Current favorite: Blackbird

8

LILY ALLEN

Its hard to describe why I like Lily. I think its because she things all daintily while saying... Not dainty things. The song I shall list is a perfect example. (Its written for the british government)

9

DRAKE BELL
Please please PLEASE tell me you know who this is. He's from Drake and Josh, and pretty much EVERYONE needs to know him! What you might not know it he's a great singer and has CDs out and everything. I will admit, I can listen to them for hours...

10
CARE BEARS ON FIRE
No, seriously. Its either this or Taylor Swift. Never heard of them? They are a rather unknown pop punk band who are a bit "Angsty teen" and the singer sort of sounds like she's 11... But I still like them sometimes. I like Get Over It best, but they also have a song called "Barbie Eat a Sandwhich".

Well I'm tired now. This post must be long. Enjoy!

I'm too discouraged to think of a title

If you want the goth challenge day two, look at this blog. Its pretty much that.

Goth Challenge- Day 1

The challenge is from Juliet's Lace, but you probably knew that anyway.

Day 1 – How did you come across the subculture?

I answered this before :P but...

I had a roleplay group, one of the people on there was Aisling. She started spamming the place with Emilie Autumn songs, and I finally listened to "Marry Me". BEST CHOICE EVAR. Because I decided to look up what goth REALLY was, and various "How to be goth" articles. I didn't really say anything about it for a while, because I am a bit famous for making a big fashion decision and dropping it in 2 days. I do remember saying to Aisling "If I become a goth, I'm blaming you."

After a while, I decided "Hey, that still sounds like me so I'll look into it more!" And I turned to Yahoo Answers. 90% of the users there are idiots. But, Amy gave me the link to her blog (I didn't know it was her who answered my question, it took me weeks to figure it out. "Hmm, this Amy looks just like the Amy of that blog...") and I read it. A lot of it. Seriously, spent HOURS reading it.

After a while, I told my mom about my goal. Being my dramatic self, I was afraid she would disapprove or think I'm turning into a vampire or something. The response: Okay. But I did have to explain to her that I wouldn't be "Hanging out with a bunch of depressed friends" and I'm STILL trying to explain to her that I do not care what humans normies others think of me.

I also got Gothic Charm School. I absorbed the knowledge. And I read a million blogs.

It was hard with the clothes, because I owned like no black. Seriously, if you asked me my opinions on black 4 months ago, I would have said it was BORING! (But I was also trying to not look like a goth then, and goth is anything but boring.) I owned tons of neutrals and light colors. I still can't look at the baby pink button-up shirt I own without screaming THE HORROR! (It was a bad idea from the minute I picked it up, it looks terrible.) But I needed new clothes anyway (hated my style).


And now I'm an annoying babybat, come to suck your blood figure out how to combine black lace and bats! FEAR ME!!

And now I own a pair of boots that my mom describes as "Feminine Doc. Martens"


SIDE NOTE:

What do goths wear to funerals? Serious question.
