Hello

1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
Learn how to stick needles in people - I'm a Chinese Medicine (acupuncture) student and former phlebotomist.

I also, in no particular order, to read, watch movies, video game, smoke, meditate, and play with my cat.


2. Where are you from?
California, the land of sunshine, drought, and gentrification.

3. Who is your favorite author?
I like a lot of different authors. In terms of fiction, I have a lot of Philip K. Dick, Haruki Murakami and Hemmingway on my bookshelf, but I will read just about anything.

4. What are your favorite films?

There are a lot of these - too many to list, really. Some of them include:

Old Boy, Hero, Mad Max: Fury Road, Repo Man, Blade Runner, Total Recall....and anything by the Cohen brothers, especially The Big Lebowski, Fargo and No Country for Old Men.


5. What music do you want played at your wedding?

"Love Song" by The Cure

6. At your funeral?

The Sisters of Mercy cover of "Knocking on Heaven's Door".

7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?

It would be pretty badass to just die while meditating - bonus points for being mummified in lotus position.

8. What kind of casket would you want?

Ideally no casket, I'd prefer to be cremated on a big ol funeral pyre. Even better if it's on a boat

9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?

Black suit, black shirt, black vest, black tie

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?

All of the potential and untapped possibilities of life

11. What's your favorite band?

X-Japan

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
See question #1

13. Why did you join?
Because we're a dying breed, and most people don't even know what a goth is these days.

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

Hi Jiangshi and a warm welcome to You ..

Hahaa isn't it awkward attempting sum up oneself via the answers to questions.
We all had the very same feelings regarding I'm sure; how can our diversity and individuality be expressed? Well, it is a mere toe dip I suppose .. a peek.

I've found every single person here to be a wealth <3
Not great in numbers you understand, for la forum is quiet in traffic.
Ah but it's joyful camaraderie that we share, and now you are one of us

Yeah, it's a little awkward, but I suppose we have to start somewhere.

That suits me just fine, I'd rather have quality over quantity.

Jiangshi,

Was it the will of Yang Qi that brought you back to life,
Or were you possessed by the soul of a Vampire?

I wonder if you died while in deep meditation... Would you even know?
But I would hope for at least a moment of profound enlightenment first.

Hello and Welcome,
Hope you Enjoy.

Both, kind of. A Daoist priest was supposed to re-animate me just long enough so I could be buried in my ancestral plot in Jianyou province, but he drank too much baijiu and screwed it up. Now I aimlessly wander the earth in search of that sweet, sweet Yang Qi...and phat beats.

I don't know. I'd hope for that too.

Greetings and welcome Jiangshi, I seem to remember reading something about you in the Annals of the Seven Sages of The Bamboo Grove or the Records of the Grand Historian by Si Ma Quien ....We are honoured by your presence.
