You scored as Fantasy Goth. You are a Fantasy Goth. You may or may not actually be a goth, but “normal” folks see you as one of those weird kids, and you are probably considered a geek by quite a few.

What subcategory of Goth best fits you?
created with QuizFarm.com

I stole this from Anne’s blog.  I suppose this assessment is fairly accurate since I am a grad student in medieval European history with a cyber-goth online store.  I’m all about future-past juxtaposition.  18th C ballgowns in black vinyl.  Rapiers and robots.   And goggles goggles goggles.

Tired of questions by 15, 16, 17 year olds who have never lived in the real world? Here’s one for the folks who have actually lived.

1. Worst damage you ever took in a fight?
Never really been in a physical fight. I’ve sustained more self-inflicted (accidental or otherwise) damage than anything else.

2. Most money you ever owed credit card company? um, no comment
individual card? $18000 post divorce

3. Last time you got kicked out of a bar?
never, but then again, I don’t drink, so I don’t get particularly rowdy.

4. Longest time you slept in a car?
Car-car or train-car? Or bus-car? Some of my longest trips have been by bus, and I did take the train from Milwaukee to West Palm Beach.

5. Most f*cked up nickname you’ve ever been given?
I suppose Qualyre the Impaler as given by my first boyfriend at age 14/15.

6. Worst job you ever had?
Possibly one particular babysitting job when the familiy had just adopted a mad dog that scared the children to death and it relieved itself everywhere. We hid upstairs with the door closed most of the time, by the children’s request.

7. Shortest job you’ve ever had?
The August weekends of Ren Faire, but then again, I worked assorted jobs on and off there.

8. Longest romantic relationship?
6 years

9. Shortest romantic relationship?
kissed (my hot Brazilian lover) at a lock-in and went on one date afterward

10. Food that you would eat until you puked?
possibly Cold Stone; I actually have eaten Malt-O-Meal, KFC and Boston Market until I puked, but I think those times it was food poisoning

11. Food that even looking at makes you puke?
I haven’t seen anything in person that makes me puke, but I’ve seen some nastiness on the TV (thanks Dave Chappelle’s Fear Factor)

12. What music saved your life?
When music made a difference, I tended to listen to music that made things worse :/

13. Person you miss the most in the world?
There are several friends I wish I could see more (or again) but no one so closely knit that I could say “most in the world”. Probably my grandma, because we hung out a lot.

14. Worst movie you’ve ever seen?
Star Wars Xmas Special, 8 Crazy Nights

15. Best movie you’ve ever seen?
don’t make me answer this

16 Movie you really want to see?
“Never never land”; I think I saw this as a child, but I can’t remember if I dremt it or not, so I want to see if this is the movie I’m thinking of

17. Ever almost die?
Nah; I’m surprisingly unbreakable. I was in one particularly scary car accident, but we didn’t really come close to dying; just bumps and bruises.

18. Ever fist fight a member of the opposite sex?
I’ve punched and open-palmed two separate people, both were over-reactions, and the second one definitely didn’t deserve it. No actual fight, though. Both times I was hit first, though semi-accidentally.

19. Best place you have ever lived?
I still have fond memories of the city of Boston

20. Worst place you have ever lived?
Whitewater

21. Bad habit you have.
Procrastinating (wait, I’m supposed to be writing a paper now)

22. Noise that makes you want to punch people?
Wiper blade squeeking on dry window (how can guys not notice?);

23. Your favorite tattoo?
Mine

24. Least favorite tattoo?
The portion I had covered up 12 days ago

26. Most money you have ever spent on a single meal?
$300 for two people, and no party favors included

27. Best gift you ever got?
a divorce 🙂

28. Best pet you ever had?
my broken little kitty

29. Ever run from the cops?
don’t think so

30. Money or love:
if you know me, you know how silly this question is.

Ok, SB posted this, but it cracks me up, so in the rare case you read this and not his, follow this link and get a chuckle. Then absorb its message.

Now, my friends from all walks know me as shockingly prim and proper for a punk rock goddess. Sometimes they get a good chuckle out of my blushing and pitifully unnatural delivery of the rare profanity. But I really did get a kick out of the following bit:

Go here and select “Nerd Porn Auteur”

‘Nuf said. I am a porn star!!

I got this from my college roomie, Anne, with whom I was living at this time, so it’s tres apropos:

Ten Years ago, it was early 1996. Take this survey, post the results, and see how many things have changed since then.

Q1) How old were you?
19

Q2) What Grade Were you in?
College freshmen

Q3) Where did you go to school?
Emerson College, Boston

Q4) Where did you work?
Just school activities: WECB, EIV, NBS

Q5) Where did you live?
180 Bolyston Street, the Little Building – 9th floor, with Anne

Q6) How was your hair style?
Long, black, usually with a burgundy stripe and green roots

Q7) Did you wear braces?
Nope, but I would’ve prefered it over my prescription-medicated acne.
Q8) Did you wear contacts?
half of the time

Q9) Did you wear glasses?
other half of the time

Q10) Who was your best friend?
Anne

Q11) Who was your boyfriend/girlfriend?
in April… I was in a pitiful situation involving Micah. I was in a very bad place.

Q12) Who was your celebrity crush?
Anne: Oh wait, just for the Emerson crew – Gary Spivey
OMG! And the psychic cruise of doom through the Bermuda Triangle! Love that ramen toupe.
Maybe Peter Steele, but I didn’t really like him in *that way*. Just that vampiric allure.

Q13) Who was your regular-person crush?
Hmm. I briefly dated three people during this school year, only one was a nice guy, and crushes came easy because they were ways to keep my mind away from the person I was with. Don’t ask…

Q14) Were you a virgin?
Yes. I remember being propositioned for something specific and I didn’t even know what he meant.

Q15) How many piercings did you have?
Nine in my ears, none in the rest of me. Most have closed now.

Q16) How many tattoos did you have?
None. One big one now, four times under the pen.

Q17) What was your favorite band/singer?
Anne: Lunachicks all the way
I must concur. They rocked in concert.

Q18) Had you smoked a cigarette yet?
Nope. Still haven’t

Q19) Had you gotten drunk or high yet?
Not drunk. Still haven’t.
Did trynitrous-oxide from a whipped cream can in high school.

Q20) Had you driven yet?
Surely, but not in Boston. Still haven’t.

Q21) If so which car?
1963 Chevy Belaire (my car), 1992 Ford Tempo (mom’s car), probably grandma’s Honda, had killed the family van by this point.

Q22) Which of your pets were still alive?
None of my pets. My parents got ferrets about the time I left for college.
Anne: And i don’t think the lobster twins Fred the Dead and Llyod the Destroyed count.
Awesome! No, they were Arthur Fiedler’s pets. Nutty & Cornwallis lived across campus. And Financial Aid lived on the third floor in a purse.

Q23) Looking back, are you where you thought you would be in 1996?
Not really, but I even didn’t know where I was in 1996, so that fact that I actually can say I’m happy to be alive is a definite improvement. I figured I would’ve had an advanced degree by now, but at least I’m finally back in school. I figured I would’ve been a business owner by now, which I am, but it’s slow going and only online. I have not really made any movies since, nor have I released an album or written a book, but I will at least accomplish one of those (probably the book, at this rate) in the future.

Type O and Rob Zombie both put on good shows, but concerts are always better when they are *not* at the Rave (the rock venue here in Milwaukee where I live).

My kitty used to jump in if I left the seat up, but this is worse. Kinda looks like my kitty…
(I hope my ex is taking good care of him)

Your Birthdate: November 7

You are an island. You don’t need anyone else to make you happy. And though you see yourself as a loner, people are drawn to you. Deep and sensitive, you tend to impress others with your insights. You also tend to be psychic – so listen to that inner voice! Your strength: Your self sufficiency Your weakness: You despise authority Your power color: Maroon Your power symbol: Hammer Your power month: July

Hmm, I’m not too keen on July. Too warm.
“Maroon”ed on an “island”?
I do have a hammer. I won it as a door prize at our high school senior picnic.
This assessment is fairly accurate, except that my inner voice is usually very intrusive and ridiculous. My psychic ability is projecting, not receiving. But it can make for some fun on a long car ride or getting people to say dumb answers during trivia games. Still, I always regret not being the one who gets the dumb words out. I transfer them more quickly than I speak them, so I rarely get credit for my own silliness.

SteelBuddha‘s results were so-so. SixPence and Superman had the same results?
Brian‘s results are highly suspect…

Gimme some sugar baby.
