Apparently, I worship Satan

[Sliceanddice]

I was looking on the sale shelves (slightly damaged goods usually) when one of the sales ladies came-up to me and said "Oh, I've seen you in here before and I just thought you'd like to know that we just got these candles in! They're damaged, so they're on sale but they're black and perfect for a Satanic Ritual!"

now see i would be insulted to but thats because im still on a spiritual journey and know a lot about wicca and would have glare her down and start shooting off candel ritual and rights from everything from catholic to standard wicca

It's not every day they encounter pirate ninjas.

Especially one with her very own male harem.

[Arm]

Don't ya just love people? I get this all the time also. Even from my own father -_-

See, I get told I look creepy, scary, like a vampire, spider, or zombie... But when I wear my nice black clothes and trenchcoat, I get told I look like a spectre of death.

You gotta roll with it, is all. Think of it this way. You get more personal space than most people. And, you don't need to bother with jobs that involve sales

Although...

"Buy this. Or I shall take the souls of your loved ones and feed them to my creations in the pits of hell for an eternity of torment...."

that might work!

that might work!

Yeah, but then how do you handle any refunds?

[ShadedWings]

Well you know people that wear black dusters to tend to do crazy things like pick up Denarian coins and have images of Fallen angels in their heads tempting them to come over to the dark side. So I can totally see how she was confused. cookie for the reference? Just made a whole batch of chocolate crinkles!

Woohoo Dresden. The Denarian coins reference made me go .

[prb]

Ah yes. I get it A LOT. Let's see.
I am a gothy girl, therefore:
I am a satanist, I am an evil witch, I think I'm a vampire, I'm a drug addict, I'm a child abuser, I take part in orgies, I'm suicidal, I want to kill evryone, I'm a dangerous violent lunatic.

Are you single?

Trust me, I got used to many moons ago. Been dressing the way I do since I was 12. Turning 21 in less than a month.

[GingerBiscuit]

No, although if you believe the chavvy guys the other night 'that doesn't matter cos everyone knows goth girls fuck everyone'.

don't forget, it's just a phase and you'll grow out of it.

Despite the fact I am now 23 and have looked like this since I was 14. Admittedly my style has matured somewhat from sloppy desings all over my face with my mums eyeliner, but still- and I know 40 year olds who still look like this.

This is the internet. Nothing is obscure. You're gonna go through a lot of cookies.

SPOILER: SNAPE KILLS HARRY!!!!

Oh, how could I forget that one. My father and grandmother have each had a "talk" with me about growing up and maturing. Telling me I should have grown out of my style after graduation.

[Dreamstalker]

I still get that from my mom. A black velvet opera cape is not "ugly". Wearing a parka (or anything) over it, however, is. It's not "hiding it", just looks dumb.

[LibraryLady]

I suppose I must worship Satan too. (Ah, McGregor Mathers, where are you when we need you?)

I'm an innocuous little old lady. I'm 61 years old, 5'6 tall and weigh about 120 pounds, BUT (organ sting please) when the weather is bad, I like to wear a black, oiled Australian Duster with the cape and the leg restraints to keep the coat around the legs when one is on a horse or when the wind is strong. I look ridiculous but the garment keeps me warm and dry.

I've gotten very strange looks and young mothers have grabbed their children out of reach when I approach. Yeah, I know I look like something out of Harry Potter but really, I'm harmless.

[Arm]

Yeah, but then how do you handle any refunds?

Oh, that's an automatic feedin' to the hell fiends.

Actually, I've got one now- I'm doing some online retail, neatly avoiding the fact that I'm a scary mofo- where the fellow sent his purchase back, from December, by just marking the package RTS. He wants to exchange it for a larger size- I haven't even opened it yet to see what condition it's in. If it's in good condition, and can be re-sold, then sure... but why 2 months late? Unless that's just the Canadian postal service at work, which I suppose it could be.
So I guess I shan't actually feed him to the hell fiends. But so long as they *believe* that you will, it would surely cut down on the returns, yes?


I don't think I've ever gotten 'you'll grow out of it'. Of course, I'm also 28, and I look evil when wearing khakis and a Jimmy Buffet t-shirt. But really, I think LibraryLady answered that for good and all, there. We evil ones shall never outgrow it. For our cruel black hearts are eternal!

...or, y'know, something like that.

[morgana]

I'm in the process of making an ankle-length duster coat, black, embroidered with Egyptian symbology.

The locals are going to freak.

I'm 58. Do you think I'll grow out of it soon?

[Cookiesaur]

Throughout my late teens, I had various hues of violently neon hair; purple, blue, green, and orange. Honestly? I just liked the colours.

Nevertheless, I heard a lot of interesting rumours as a result. Most people in school seemed to be labouring under the assumption that my unnatural hair meant I was into the whole goth scene (despite my equally violently bright wardrobe and the nerds I hung out with). Or, my personal favourite, that it was "gang colours".

In rural Canada.

POUR ONE OUT FOR THE MOOSE, HOMIES.

It was the best whenever some wide-eyed younger kid in school would come up and ask if I knew "spells". YES I KNOW ALL THE SPELLS. I AM AN AWESOME SPELLER.
