Mim,

I remember when Goth girls wore nice dresses and Goth boys looked all smart and well-dressed. Not like the sloppy Goths you get these days.

I used to like the way goth girls looked, with their stripey leggings and purple scarves. Now everything is pierced and they look daft. I’m getting old.

Twatbasket and asswhistle are both notable constructions, thank you.

I also find that a judicious ‘fuckrash’ explains matters.

Prostak – no, that was for another post that Nelson didn’t like. It was great. But I still learned a swear (or rather that a swear I already knew could be used in another language with no effort whatsoever because Slavs are so immensely samey).

I’m not sure either, but I find I can’t get the image out of my head. Hmmm. That’s got to be a scene in the book. Write it now!

‘Joy Pattistein’ is genius, Mim – I salute you. Shame no-one’s reading this thread apart from us now (probably).

God, how I laugh at today’s young Goths; laugh with a bitterness bordering on insanity at how pointlessly boohoo they are about everything when in fact life is only going to get shitter for them from here on in.

It’s my cheerfulness that keeps me going.

Normal non-Goth clothing I think I meant. Even I could probably manage naked except for black lipstick, although I’m not entirely sure what scenario could require it.

Depressed Goths have it worst because the level of effort you have to put into normal non-clothing is quite bad enough. Black lipstick would probably push me over the edge.

Joy Pattistein sounds entirely too plausible. I shall think of her whenever Joy posts, and snigger childishly.

Shaddap! You don’t understand me! NO-ONE understands me!

Ah, the misanthropy and self-loathing remains, but the desire to wear black lipstick and ridiculous footwear ended a long, long time ago.

I was a depressed Goth in my teens

You do surprise me.

It’s gotta be Fucko.

If we’re covering as many markets as possible, I have dibs on being a sexy ‘n’ mysterious vampire who has an ethical dilemma with drinking human blood (yes, I was a depressed Goth in my teens. Why do you ask?). But not a sexy, mysterious, troubled vampire Joy Pattison. She should be a crazed Dr Frankenstein figure, slaving away in her top secret Alpine lab, trying to reanimate the corpse of her beloved dead father.

I say ‘should’, but mean ‘is’. You up for adopting a slightly teutonic accent?
