I've been putting this off . . . but no further!

I will now first do a *general* gothiness point reading:

1. Be born with rare, potentially degenerative metabolic disease that has prevented me from being able to do a multitude of things both professionally as well as at play (or at least not very well). The medical community looks at you like you're something of *constant* intrigue. Be on top of that, teased constantly at school and add in a heap of family tragedy: + 300 pts.

End up developing a real "fighting" attitude and the desire to constantly press onward with full courage, despite all signs saying I should "give up":+ 150 pts.

Was seriously, an annoyingly douchey Mansonite from age 15ish to age 22 or so: - 90 pts.

Once in a blue moon, I listen to Aqua: -20 pts

Still gives nu-metal a spin on occasion - 20 pts

Listen to Siouxsie and the Banshees, related side-projects and the Sisters of Mercy nearly-daily, especially "This Corrosion": + 30 pts

Usually dressed in at least 3/4 black clothing: +15 pts

Noww, let's calculate it!

Total for this week... 75!
Karma points don't affect your GP, right?

+1 Wore a black shirt.
-1 Wore yellow gym shorts. Yes, I broke one of my own rules.
+1 Staying up until 6 AM as usual.
+2 Thoroghly cleaned my teeth as usual. I think it should be a goth rule to floss, buff, brush and whiten your teeth.
-1 Didn't wear foundation. I'm sorry, I need to make it last before I buy more.
+1 Got compliments from people online about my dyed black hair. (Yes, people online matter.)
+1 Purchased an authentic leather and tartan belt.
+1 Took a night walk.
-1 Went into the sun today and potentially got burned...again.
-1 Didn't wear sunglasses.
-1 Lost my sunscreen, which is very bad, very bad.

If people I know find this list they're going to be like "You bought that sunscreen because you're trying to be goth?" and I'm going to be like, no, I got the sunscreen because I keep burning in the sun, cant I wear sunscreen? "But it's cloudy today." Clouds don't stop UVA and UVB Rays! "But you look like a mime." ...

+1 My character in Fallout 3 is so pale she glows, as well as her hair being either black, pink, green, blue, red or purple, with one or two mohawks or a Von Teese-esque hairstyle
+1 I dressed in black and plum today
-1 Pale pink pyjamas...
+1 I now follow "gothpage" on Tumblr (obvious title, I know)
+1 I now almost YouTube Stalk Kill Natalie, LeahMouse, Sebastian Columbine and Kaz.
+1 I co-ordinated my black and red earrings... black sleeper, red sleeper and a silver stud (but I couldn't force the stud through my right ear so that's only on the left)

So now it's... +8 for me
I HAVE DOUBLED, HUZZAH!

Went to The Devils Carnival +5
...in costume +1
Bought a 17 pack of character cards so I could get Lucifer +1
Went to The Rocky Horror play +1
...in costume +1
And the shadowcast +1

Currently listening to Concrete Blonde +1
Hair is faded and needs to be re-dyed black -1
About to go for a walk in the cloudy drizzle +1

Total = 4
Balance = 8

went out to the Goth night last night: +1
bar said night is at is literally two blocks from my house: +1
spent most of the night talking with a friend who was the out-of-town DJ: +1
most conversations of the night revolved around either...
...talking shit about the shitty borderline dubstep music the local DJ played: +1
...talking old horror films from the 1920s through 1960s: +1
still have on most of last night's eye make-up: +1
sore, hoarse from shouting over shitty music: -1 (I'm clearly not destined to be a Scream Queen)
going out for ice-cream now: -1
...but then again, I've never been a skinny boy; always looked more "late period Robert Smith" than "early period Robert Smith": +1 (cos I can justify being a male Goth fat-ass --ladies, you already had Caroline from Sunshine Blind to justify spooky voluptuousness)
was seriously stupefied that some-one at the bar last night didn't know who Robert Smith was and only vaguely familiar with The Cure: +1
...the fact that she was 22years-old is no excuse: +1
Gave my Deej friend an obscure Australian gothic/post-punk record I had a double of: +2
Also since last tally...
...have new sheets for the bed --aubergine satin: +1
...first matching sheet set in my entire adult life: -1
...and the satin is clearly a Magical Slippery Stuff that freaks out my cat: -1
...just quoted the Clerks Animated Series: -1
...got a new messenger bag --black canvas to replace the olive canvas w/ Communist star: +1
...bought a Bedazzler: -1
...initially for the sole purpose of Bedazzling the Leo constellation onto said new bag: +1 (nerdy, night sky, occult relation --the constellation are Totes Gawffik)

Current adjustment: +8

current Goth Card balance: +88

How can you not know Robert Smith and The Cure?! I'm 19 and they're one of my favorite bands!

I know, right? I say: Forget dress-codes, there needs to be a brief multiple choice test to get into a goth club. LOL

Definitely.

I disagree, on the same grounds as to not keeping track of my points (well some of the basis anyway....): depends who you ask. I've been to places that I wouldn't get in, and the kinds of places I like wouldn't really care if you know who it is. There's a post-entry test obviously....

Pssht! Party-pooper. Goth points are silly-fun times. The only thing that'd make them better is if you got to trade them in for prizes.
