1. Name a stereotypical Goth trait that is actually true of you. Oh, my preoccupation with paintin’ my fingernails black.

3. Morbid humor, yes or no. A guy walks into a bar with a tiny piano and an 8-inch pianist… whoa, can’t tell that one!

4. Name a favorite place, building, etc. that would fit well within Gothic confines. Well, that tower in front of KTVT looks like Quasimodo should be hanging out of it. Does that count?

5. Name a cartoon that you watched as a kid, that could be considered Goth.
Popeye

6. Name a non-Goth song that could actually be considered Goth in some way, and why. (Music or lyrics) “It’s Raining Men” by the Weathergirls

11. Stereotypical Goth screen name? Yes/No & why. Oh yes, BB is a very goth screen name since it actually stands for, uh, Black Bart

Fill this out IN YOUR OWN WORDS and repost as, "My autobiography" ... And use your own answers, not anyone else's, thank YOU.
