I'm going to be dyeing my hair this week and I just found this post.
She offers some great advice I learned some stuff from that post.
Like not to wash my hair with s/c for as long as I could.

What the fuck does this even MEAN?
I was at the beach last summer and I remembered this one guy came to me. Personally.
I was waiting for the bus and I was talking to my sister and this guy (who I assumed was high or drunk) stopped walking and these words came out of his mouth.
Guy: I love the whole Goth look but you're taking it to a whole another level!
In my mind, I said, "Right on!!" and then nodded and watched him leave.
As he was leaving, my sister and I looked at each other in confusion.
Here's a photo of me where that happened. The bus was already coming so my sister took a quick photo.
While my sister took the photo (and weeks after that. Hell, even to this day!!), I wondered what he meant.
Was it just nonsense from a drunk or guy on drugs? Did it have a deeper meaning? Was the answer right in front of me? Am I looking too much into it? Should I let it go?

I AM depressed, bitch!
I remember this one chick out in the streets. I was waiting for the bus. My sister and I were talking and I see this girl coming with her family.
I saw her look at me and then she whispers something to her mom (I suppose?) and when she's in front of me, she sarcastically says, "Oh the pain!! I'm so depressed!!".
First of all, I AM depressed. But the Goth look doesn't have to do anything to do with my depression. If anything. it makes me happy. It makes me happy (and frustrated) to dig through my closet and look for something to wear. It makes me happy looking at my bookshelf and seeing it all organized and semi-Gothy (I still need to get Pocket full of Posiez and some stuff in my Amazon wishlist!!!). I'm not exactly depressed every day and it's a nice little break. The longest I've ever gone without feeling depressed was three months.
Second of all, fuck you! I hope you get depressed so you could see what it's like! To have your fucking soul ripped to fucking sheds. To fucking have your heart crushed and then sewn up and broken again and again and again!!!!!

Day 29 – What do you think will happen to Goth in the future?
Music: The Shroud-Day and Night
Now that the Monster High dolls are out (Their promotion? To be a "Monster too". And it even states to "Be Unique!") and selling and doing VERY well, I think it's a start. And the company is the same that put out Barbie. So, that's saying something!
I honestly hope that non-goths are more open-minded and that the monster (dolls/goths) aren't anything to be feared.

Day 27 – The worst thing you ever did to a newbie.
Music: Corday-Over You
When I went (and graduated!) to high school, I tried to change a student's style. To get her to dress like me, so I wouldn't be the only fucking Goth!
I was not so proud in doing that.
I even cringe just thinking about it.
Eventually, I took my studies more seriously and was glad that I was the only Goth there. I felt special. Like, I offered something different to the "Mix".

Day 26 – Show a photo for every year (or month if you're new) that you've being into Goth.
I'll do this some other time.
When I get a decent full-length miror.

Day 25 – Did you ever consider leaving the subculture?
Music: Corday-On The Moon
Yes, I have. Every time my mom and sister just didn't "get" me.
But eventually, I remember that I've had to go through some shit in order to become this fucking confident.

Day 23 – Your favorite artist or photographer.
Victoria Frances, Myka Jelina, Ian Daniels, Jessica Beckett-Griffin.
All artists.
All artists.
Day 22 – If you could attend any Goth event what would it be?
Music: BlutEngel-Soul In Isolation
The events found in London.
If I had the money and the people, I would totally go.
They don't hold events (Like large amounts people, all gathered in one place) in Los Angeles.

Is being a Goth a "Teen Phase"?
Music-Emilie Autumn-Liar
i'm still a teenager- which is my excuse for all my gothic or pink decks LOL
I read this on a forum. From a tarot forum. This is just.....sad.
Speaking of "I'm still a teenager...", when I came home from the eye thing yesterday, I passed by this girl and boy sitting on the steps. The boy was sitting down but the chick was standing up in front of him.
I was wearing my sunglasses so I sneaked a glance at her. Now, when I saw her, she was wearing this beige top. The bra part (It's attached to the shirt) was sticking out in the back part. And her ass crack was visible.
She turned to me when my sister passed by her (I guess it's human nature to look at people passing by). I was behind my sister. And we were walking towards the door and the girl said. "Why is she dressing like she's 16?". And she kind of shouted it.
First of all, I'm 22 (birthday is in four weeks), bitch. She looked like she herself was 16.
And when I was 16, I wore long black skirts, t-shirts and sweaters. And the occasional jeans and black pants.
Second of all, before you go opening your good-for-nothing mouth, stand in front of a mirror and turn yourself around (because you seem the type to love "turning around" if you know what I mean, you gangster slut!!!!!!). Your top isn't even perfectly on. And your fucking ass crack is showing!
The guy said something but I couldn't really hear him because I said "Fuuuuuck you, bitch!" under my breath but it was loud enough for only my sister to hear (HA! At least I can control my tone and who hears it!!!). So, what I wore yesterday was me wearing what I wanted to wear and feel confident (something I never had when I was 16) in!
I feel so bad for her. The mind-set that she herself tuned into or was subjected to. The mind-set that you have to act and dress like a teenager. And when you're an adult, you have to be dressed like a proper adult.
I bet when she was little, her parents told her to throw away her dollies and act her age.
You see, at least I was put-together with nothing out on display and I found my personal style. Not to mention, a mature sense of style. I knew what tops and skirts not to wear out on the streets.
Because I can NOT just pass the opportunity up:
