Shit, I do about half of those things&no one gives a damn! :? Its nobody's business!
And, I won't give up my black nailpolish, black eyeshadow, blood red lipstick, black shirts&jeans, multiple piercings for anything! I do listen to a few goth bands, but I do not consider myself totally goth.
I just like those things because I like 'em---not because its a "lifestyle", so to speak.

I still don't understand if this is indeed some Christian freak, or all of this is suppoed to be a joke... :cry:
Because some of the things it says are a little bit extreme even for one of those really religious guys, but there isn't enough extremism for me to 100% know its a joke.

In my opinion, religion has gone too far these days. Trying to tell people what's right and what's not when even THEY don't know if what they're doing is right or not. By the way, I'm goth it seems :

-Frequently wears black clothing - Hell yeah!
-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts - Wish I had some Strato shirts, :(
-Wears excessive black eye makeup,lipstick or nail polish - Nope, sorry
-Wears any odd silver jewelry or symbols - Nope, sorry
-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos - WHO DOESN'T?!
-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music - Yes, I do, so what?
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically - I don't associate with people
-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible,
prayer, church or sports - So what?
-Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult,
witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan - Death? Yes. Vampires? Yes. The others? I'll leave them be
-Takes drugs - NEVER
-Drinks alcohol - With my father, all the time
-Is suicidal and/or depressed - So what?
-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation - I have cuts and burns, so what?
-Complains of boredom - Indeed I do
-Sleeps too excessively or too little - I sleep a LOT
-Is excessively awake during the night - That depends
-Demands an unusual amount of privacy - Yes I do
-Spends large amounts of time alone - Yes I do
-Requests time alone and quietness - Yes I do
-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult - Yes I do
-Disregards authority figures - YES I DO!
-Misbehaves at school - No
-Misbehaves at home - Yes
-Eats excessively or too little - Too little
-Eats goth-related foods - There is such a thing?
-Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood - So what?
-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media
sources - Yes I do
-Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature - Yes I do
-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer - YES I DO!
-Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music - Nope, sorry
-Dances to music in a provocative or sexual manner - I don't dance
-Expresses an interest in sex - I doubt it'll ever happen to me.......
-Masturbates - Nope, sorry
-Is homosexual and/or bisexual - HELL NO!
-Pursues dangerous cult religions. - Nope, sorry
-Wears pins, stickers or anything else - Yes I do
-Claims to be a goth - I don't CLAIM anything, but you may infer what you wish

LOL well actually I WAS goth and still like the whole stuff (except the ppl.. :P )
But there are sites from goths about "how to be goth". :D

There were things like:
Dont talk to anybody who´s not as gothlike as you are
Treat younger ones as if they were nothing

The 2nd best site was about nail care for goths :roll:
really crazy.. But it was all German so not many could laugh with me if i find it...
