This cheesy little www interface for Moses's
Gothdecoder'98 was written by Moses <[email protected]>. Queer, but true.
---begin
-
(Warning: Not done yet (Mar 31, 5:00AM), but gonna
plow ahead anyways.)
-
Physical Appearance: (how to identify me in a police lineup)
-
I am 22 years old.
-
I am 180 centimeters tall. (2.54cm = 1", 30.48cm = 1')
-
I am visibly chubby.
-
In a crowd, you can see that I am Southern Asian.
-
Changeable physical characteristics (my body as a canvas)
-
My hair is down to the center of my back.
-
It is currently coloured dark brown.
-
I keep my hair in pony/pigtails.
-
I plainly display on my face a moustache, and a beard or sideburns.
-
I was once quoted saying about my makeup, "I don't wear makeup."
-
I have scars, and scarred or pierced myself out of boredom or ennui.
-
If you asked me about tattoos, I would say "I have no tattoos at all."
-
Attitude:
-
I'm new to the goth scene.
-
My workmates suspect I'm just a little bit "eccentric"..
-
People think that the way I differ from everyone else is the way I look
(there's something about the way I appear that seems, well, strange to
people), the way I act (some of the things that I do seem to freak people
out, sometimes), and the way I think (some of the things that I say can
appear really bizarre and wierd to people I meet).
-
I started being a goth in 1989.
-
Why did I get into the goth scene? I got into goth some other way that
isn't codified.
-
What kind of goth am I?
-
I am a person who skipped the popular goth personality type chart.
-
Sometimes I'm a LazyGoth.
-
Occassionally I'm a ShyGoth.
-
My moods can be extreme or maybe even they just change pretty quickly (Watch
your step, matey ;-)), and are introverted, so there'll be times when I
just have to be a recluse sometimes
-
Upon meeting me, you can see right away that I am a Genuine eccentric:
dressed for an audition with the BBC for a silly childrens sci-fi show,
but, it's just the way I am. My style of dress means that I never look
quite right for any occasion and seem odd everywhere.
-
Sometimes I look like a NewRomantic.
-
Occasionally I look like a Grungey.
-
I look like a goth 24 hours a day.
-
Education, Career and all that daytime stuff
-
My primary occupation is in Internet Tech Support (net guru, sacrifical
offering, etc).
-
...Where I gained employment.
-
My secondary occupation is in Arts.
-
...Where I studied it in high school and scored highly in the subject,
and completed a 2 year non-university/college course.
-
My tertiary occupation is in nothing.
-
...Where I studied it in high school and scored highly in the subject,
and completed a 2 year non-university/college course.
-
I've been quoted as saying "I have good hand/eye coordination and I am
usually good at video games, I'm an empathy feeler more than a logical
thinker, and rules are made to be broken!"
-
Music, skills and preferences
-
I have a pretty decent CD/record/cassette collection.
-
I can honestly say I enjoy listening to Second Wave Metal (1980-90s), Classical
music (instrumental), and Reggae.
-
I can play musical instruments.
-
Opinionation
-
I believe in a God, I think.
-
I have a strict personal code of ethics, I like to think that I have a
spiritualtiy, which may or may not conform to a recognised religion, I
have fully investigated all the range of possibilities and have come to
my conclusion on the basis of wide reading and/or spiritual contemplation,
and I believe that I have an immortal soul, that lives on through Karma
or some other soul rebirthing system.
-
I'd rather vomit than talk politics.
-
When someone make the mistake of asking me about economics, I replied "I
really don't give a stuff about the economics side of politics."
-
The last time someone made the mistake of asking me about human rights,
I replied "There should be advertising campaigns to criticise sexism, prejudice
against gays and lesbians, etc; Government should make prejudice and harassment
a criminal offence."
-
"Gender issue" decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis, and a
person's gender should never come into decisions on everyday life.
-
I feel very strongly for the environment.
-
My favoured form(s) of government (in no particular order): Feudalism (where
defined as a caste system by which a sovereign allocates a heirarchy of
wealth and power), Free Market (where defined as the insistance on world
trade efficiency by creating a tariff-free world which theoretically allocates
a natural order of comparative advantage), and Enforced Democracy (where
defined as everyone being forced to vote in free elections -- as seen in
Australia).
-
Vampires (or, "down the hall, third door on the right")
-
I believe that vampires exist
-
I play roleplaying and other games that have vampires in them
-
What really annoys me about this gothy vampire crap is someone who genuinely
goes around maiming/killing other people in the hope that the myths are
true.
-
The goth stereotype that really bugs me is where Goths are supposed to
be into Satanism, and Goths are supposely just attention-seeking whiners.
-
Food and Drug Administration
-
Alcohol? I don't enjoy seeing other people blotto.
-
Droogs? I hate illegal drug use amongst my friends and I usually end up
giving them lectures about it.
-
Regarding recreational drugs, I ensure that I would only ever toy with
legal or illegal drugs that are not physically addictive.
-
Fast food is yum! (eg, MacDonalds, Hungry Jacks/Burger King, KFC, etc),
My nutritional needs are determined by my body's intolerances, and I often
cook my food myself so I know what's in it.
-
The food that I do eat includes Grains (eg, breakfast cereal, bread, etc),
Fruit and vegetables, Meat (excluding pork), Pork, Food that contains preservatives,
colourings, MSG, etc, and Animal products (eggs, milk, etc).
-
Technology
-
My computer inventory includes a DOS/Windows 3.1 box, and Windows 95/98.
-
My list of Internet info: I have a dialup PPP/SLIP account, I write publically
accessible HTML on my web page, and I browse the web.
-
I got on the internet in some unrecorded point of 1994.
-
When asked if I was computer savvy, I replied "My friends call me to trouble-shoot
their computer problems sometimes, and I can quickly learn how to operate
equipment and software in my field of expertise."
-
Relationships
-
I am 70 percent heterosexual.
-
When asked about sex, I replied "I have done a bit of petting but I'm still
virginal."
-
I'm also into masturbation, heavy petting, role playing (doctors and nurses,
etc), and group sex.
-
Right now I am single.
-
When I'm hawkish for a 'partner,' I'm not too fussy about whether my potential
partner is in the scene or not; other factors are far more important.
-
My prefered type of relationship is monogamous, allergic to the concept
of children, and open to negotiation with regard to relationship type and
it can be negotiated from time to time.
-
Now you ask, am I available? Yes, I'm available to the right person for
something nice and casual or one-night-standish... but, I have high standards,
so you may not be the one I'll go for.
-
The person I would be primarily attracted to is ...wait, stop. I will not
classify this by any of the GothCode'98 pre-formed goth personality types.
I am much too complex and noble a creature to allow myself to be pidgeonholed
this way. Did I mention I'm a tosser?
-
Sometimes I'll be attracted to a RomanticGoth.
-
Occassionally I'll be attracted to a SlutGoth.
-
Living Conditions
-
I live in a house.
-
Four to five people sleep where I live (it may be not all of them pay rent).
-
I share my living space with my bird/s.
-
I live with 1 pets.
-
Location, or how you can hunt me down
-
I live 10 kilometres from the nearest city/town centre. (1km = 0.6214 miles)
-
I live in the suburbs.
-
I am in the United States, in the Texas district.
-
The above description should match the following GothCode'98:
