And now.....the Rant. *chuckle*

Now those who are reading this are undoubtedly going to consider themselves to be GOTH. With a capital G. I really don't care. I don't WANT to be a goth. I just want to be me, whatever that may be. I am a Marilyn Manson fan. Neither I nor Manson is goth. So quit telling me how much of a poser I am, or how I should just kill myself for liking what I like and doing what I do. I know how to blend my makeup. I know how to dress. I've been studying makeup now for a few years. I did the makeup for a band over the summer. Trust me, I know how to blend. Don't tell me I'm not Goth. What IS Goth? Does anyone know? Is there a paper written where there is a 100% correct definition on what a Goth is? The last website I was at had roughly 160+ different varieties of Goth. All of which, I am assuming, can be considered a Goth. If there are 160+ varieties of Goth, who are you to say that I couldn't be one of you and you don't know it? Not that I'd want to. I want to be a Manson fan. That's all I want. If I want to spend my time 'copying' his lifestyle and his outfits and his makeup, then fuck you. You do what you want, I do what I want, and you leave me the fuck alone.

There. You can go be catty towards those who proclaim themselves to be Goth and fail m-i-s-e-r-a-b-l-y. I went through the Goth Goose site as well as the rest of you did, that's why you're here, isn't it? That's how most of you found me. Yeah, I'm a Goth Goose. Big fucking deal. Somewhere in my page I may have stated I was a goth. If you go up to a Normal on the streets..we all know what they are, right? And if you ask them what a goth is, they will tell you a goth is "one of those scary kids with the black hair and black clothes who listens to Manson and likes vampires." There you go. The WWW on which my page is presented is worldwide, not just for Goths. To the many normals who may frequent my page, they may think I'm a Goth. Whatever. I'm not. I could never be pretentious and catty and wonderful like the rest of you. I don't have the time or the energy to put up that much of a front. So if it says somewhere on my page that I'm a goth, it is only because I fit the very Normal and Mundane definition of the word. Note also that I say that I am Glam. Could someone define glam for me? Let's see....platform shoes, feathers, spandex, and lots and LOTS of glitter. That is what glam means to me, and if I check my closet...my my my..I think I fit! So I fit what glam means to me and what goth means to everyone who isn't goth. I fit my definitions. I'm not "true" glam, I'm not "true" goth. I'm not the stereotypical Goth or Glam or whatever, but I never claimed to be. I just took what I could of both cultures and combined it into something. Manson did it, I'm doing it. I'm a sheep, remember? *rolls eyes* Get off your high pale horse and go back to the batcave.

Apologies to my Goth yet unGoth friends in #VampCafe, who while they may be True Goths, they have ACCEPTED me for what I am. They have never laughed at me. They never called me a POSER. They never made me feel uncomfortable for being unlike them. The SUPPORTED me in everything I have ever tried to do. They cheer my success and mourn my losses. They are TRUE friends, and I love them all. To all Goths who have tolerance for those unlike them, I love you as well and there should be more of you. This page is exempt for these, my friends, and for those who show apathy towards what others think or do.
