My first stop, I suppose
So, here it goes. Hello. My name is Aeryn... and I am a goth at my core, but it's always hidden behind something. My life has always been dramatic and called for black, but it wasn't until my twenties that I started developing some sort of personality or personal style. I'm only at 23 but that feels like a million years ago. I hope this feels a bit... worth your time to read.
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I actually don't have a job at the moment. I have a chronic illness that renders me bed bound some days and it's too unpredictable for me to be employed. Hopefully that will change in the next few months but we'll see. I was in an IT helpdesk position before that, but I will never go back there and you can't make me. Please.
I'm into photography, and do a lot of hair and makeup. I do extensions and synthetic dreads, and fucking love to play around with colour. I collect dolls, play video games, and I read everything I can get my hands on, though I hadn't read for years before now. I'm only just getting back into the habit. I also write occasionally but I find it difficult to write out what's in my head without being disappointed.
2. Where are you from?
I grew up in country Australia, where everything weird was stared at, and that was fucking wicked. I moved to Melbourne after a brief stint in Canberra and am unfortunately, due to my previously mentioned illness, living in Adelaide with my boyfriend and my family, which is lovely but not ideal.
3. Who is your favorite author?
This is a really hard question, as I liked certain books and hate others from the same person. I love Jules Verne and my favourite book is Journey to the Center of the Earth, followed closely by William Goldman and The Princess Bride. Stephen King, Neil Gaiman
4. What are your favorite films?
The Princess Bride, The Little Mermaid, The Secret of Kells, Back to the Future, The Goonies, Stand by Me. I don't really know, I tend to have different favourite movies depending on the day.
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
David Bowie.
6. At your funeral?
Tool.
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Well... ideally it'd be in a mental institution, chained up and drugged to all fuckery and making up stories related to my death beforehand, to scare everyone. If we're talking reality, it'd be next to my beau, calmly and quietly. Dressed exquisitely.
8. What kind of casket would you want?
I want to be cremated and put into some kind of ceramic tile that reads 'Here lies Aeryn, somewhatly'
I feel enough of a waste of space already, I'd hate to be one in death too. A nice little tile would be good, they could hang me on a wall or plaster me into a bathroom or a water feature.
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
I don't dress the same every day and so I have a million different 'favourite' outfits. I can't pick one because I have way too many moods and daily flavours. I love mary janes and dresses. Anything with cotton lace, or flocked velvet I also fucking love coloured contact lenses. I wear them every day, and I wish there were more available in my prescription, but there aren't and I just go out half blind with shiny eyes. I dress normally with a bit of weird, I'm a bit too shy to go all out unless it's a special occasion, in which I will go all out. Mostly black or grey, colour confuses me with clothes.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Blissful ignorance.
11. What's your favorite band?
My music taste is probably the one thing I feel completely unable to be judged upon. I have way too varied of a taste, I just love music and give not the slightest fuck to how people see me concerning it. I can never pick one, blah.
I have a childhood adoration for Matthew Good that will never die. Other than him: Mogwai, Buck Tick, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Hole, Perfume, Bjork, Vaux, Pavement, The Flaming Lips, The Birthday Massacre, David Bowie, Clint Mansell, Billie Holiday, Radiohead, Deftones, System of a Down, Lily Allen, Pink Floyd, Rasputina, Jon Hopkins. I missed so many and I feel bad that I can't remember them all.
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I finished high school, had a brief stint in fashion that gave me a certification as a machinist (the sewing kind, not the insomniac Christian Bale kind) but I've pretty much flown away from that like a duck from a hunter. I want to be a hair colourist, and a makeup artist. Maybe, we'll see how it goes. I like to be damn good at what I do and I get a bit insane about not being good enough for the industry. At 23 I feel too old to start learning professionally, which is a bit sad.
13. Why did you join?
I've been stalking the forums for years and thought I should create and account if I ever needed to post.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Female, of the girly sort.
Thanks for reading :}
