Hello, my name is "The Count".

Before I start I just want to clear up something about my name.
It is not some lame reference to Dracula, it became my nickname in High school, because I was kind of obsesed with the legend of Count Saint Germain.

1. What do you do?
I'm a student.
My hobbies are reading(mostly history books), cryptography, collecting knives and "Karate".

2. Where are you from?
South Africa.

3. Who is your favorite author?
I don't read allot of story books(apart from some "Reader's Digest"), but my favorite history author is "John Man".

4. What are your favorite films?
I don't really have any favorites, although the last film I watched, that I really liked, was Tim Burton's "Sweeney Tod"

5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
Wedding!?
Uh... "Bad Moon Rising" by "Creedence"
I get chills just thinking about marriage.

6. At your funeral?
Not sure...
"Knocking on Heaven's door", I guess(or "Highway to Hell").

7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Freak tire-swing accident.

8. What kind of casket would you want?
The expensive and fancy kind.

9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
A shirt and pants(optional).

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Snowy, my pet cat.
Mommy says he went to live at a place where he could hunt butterflies and eat fish for eternity.

11. What's your favorite band?
I don't listen to anything gothic really, apart from "The Cure".
Other music I like are, Rush, Deep Purple, Mozart, Nirvanna, Opeth.
(Anything worth listening to, I'll listen to.)

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
Finished with High school, Studying Computational Intelligence (Programming)

13. Why did you join?
I don't really think of myself as gothic. I just came across this site's fiction area some years ago while searching for something to cure my boredom and started reading some posts. Today, for some reason, the site just came to mind again and I decided to join.

14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
Male.

P.S If I make any spelling or grammer mistakes, I apologize. English is my second language

Well I must say I admire your choice of user name, a polymath no doubt. If you only choose one Goth band The Cure is a safe bet.
I like your freak accidental death description, something akin to a Darwin Award death I imagine.

Welcome, don't feed the trolls, and don't take anything here personally, just relax and enjoy the ride.

Thanks for the compliment, but I don't really consider myself a polymath, I merely read a lot.

Anytime I ever see you post that's all I'm going to think of... I'm sorry if I rarely take you seriously man.
