Hello everyone, from skarla.marxxx!

Good afternoon! Pleased to 'meet' you all, and thanks for having me.

1. What do you do?
I am a student at a community college, completing my major coursework and transfer curriculum. I plan on transferring to Cal State University Los Angeles in California, USA, where I will major in art with a concentration in fashion and an emphasis in fashion design. My studies take up a lot of my time, but I also like to read, watch movies, sew, do anything creative or artistic, and I also devote an hour a day to working out, as I am on a weight loss journey.

2. Where are you from?
I am from the Central Coast of California, USA. It is located right between San Francisco and Los Angeles, but is drastically different than either. The city in which I live, and was born and raised is Santa Maria, CA. There is no goth community out here, which leaves me searching for fellow others.

3. Who is your favorite author?
Ah, now that is a decidedly difficult question! But atm, I'd say Anne Rice. I read multiple books at a time in rotation, and one of the ones I'm currently reading is The Vampire Armand. I'm in love with The Vampire Chronicles. I would totally be a vampire, if I could, and I do think I've the stamina for it.

4. What are your favorite films?
I love David Lynch, Guillermo Del Toro, David Fincher, Darron Arronofsky, Tim Burton, Stanley Kubric, George A. Romero...horror, artsy, indie, animated. I'm a huge fan of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. I also like the classic monster movies in black and white, like Murnau's 1922 Nosferatu.

5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
Hmmm....I never thought I'd get married. It never seems to last, but I'll play along...Type O Negative's "Love You to Death", or Siouxsie and Morrissey's "Interlude". Maybe Ex Voto's "I'll wait forever for you".

6. At your funeral?
Dead Can Dance- "Persephone (The Gathering of the Flowers)"

7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Without destruction to my corpse. I'm quite vain, so I want to leave behind a good looking corpse, for an open casket, of course. I want people to have the memory of beauty in death.

8. What kind of casket would you want?
Something elegant. Perhaps shiny black with silver accents. No religious ANYTHING, UNLESS it is symbolic of Satanism. Satin lining, not sure on the color. Perhaps stark white so my black hair will contrast against it better.

9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
Ugh, My wardrobe is SADLY lacking at present. I've amassed a TON of shoes, purses, accessories, stripey tights, stompy and witchy boots, but I'm still losing a ton of weight at too rapid a pace to afford clothes as I drop sizes. My plan is to have an unveiling once I reach my goal weight! ^_^ Presently, my favorite outfit is a long black crushed velvet skirt with black velvet maryjanes and a long black knit top with long black lace sleeves. I adorn it with raven silhouette jewelry and a black flower crown with small black roses.

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Not having to do adult things, like cleaning, worrying about money. I miss having time to just PLAY.

11. What's your favorite band?
Trite as it may seem, if only for my vast knowledge of their body of work, I'd have to say The Cure. I love Robert Smith's collaborations with Steve Severin in The Glove. Japanese Whispers, The Top, Pornography and all the other classics...I could never do without them.

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I'm at a 2 year college transferring to University to obtain a Bachelors in Art with an emphasis on fashion design.

13. Why did you join?
Even though I'm a proud lone wolf, I found it rather isolating to be without those with common interest and of like mind. Thus, I am here to meet people.

14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
I am a lady, by birth and choice.
