Hey, that's funny! I work with jerks like that!!!

That's great!!!

PRICELESS!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!

"Thought about becoming a witch, so I tried that for a spell."

Hoozah!!!

I'll get you, my pretty! And your little dog, too!!!

Oh, and I used to be in 4-H and so was my mom! In fact, she spent her honeymoon with my father in a tent at the county fair because she had a 4-H project being judged the next day!

SO TRUE!!!!!

I was on the phone with my mom a few weeks ago as she was driving to work and she told me "only in Iowa will ya find ten porta-potties in the middle of a cornfield!" I guess what's even funnier is that I lost my virginity in the middle of a cornfield!

Why Mommy's "Friend" Isn't Your Uncle

Gypsy, you have NO idea!

Myr,

Hey, man! It's nice to finally find one of my own kind around here! So, you practice Celtic witchcraft? I do Italian- Roman and Greek. Take it from me, don't hide your path. Remember that the Goddess is with you and you have nothing to fear. If a relationship is not meant to be, it's not meant to be. Don't hide your path from anyone just so they don't get "scared". Feel free to message me if you like. I really didn't think there were any other Pagans around here!

Thank you for the wonderful comment, iam4u. It makes me feel a lot better to hear support like that. Today has been one of my "up" days.

There are days when I feel like just balling up in a blanket and sleeping until I feel better. On those days, I just want someone to bring me some ice cream and tell me what they're going through. I'll admit that I am self-absorbed a great deal of the time, but that doesn't mean I don't care about those around me. In fact, I've sacrificed a lot for those I've cared about. It's come back to bite me in the end, but I'm still alive. The way I see my life is that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I want to be self-sufficient. My current boyfriend has been wanting to help me financially, but that's not what I want. I want to help myself and help other people. I know my healing has to come from the inside. I'm always there for my friens when they need me- no matter if I'm having a "high" or "low" day. It also helps to have a good piece of literature by me at all times to help me clear negative thoughts. Yay for Edgar Allen Poe!

Depression is a mental illness that people like myself cannot help. There is a chemical imbalance in the brain that many medications just do not fix. I have not tried medication for personal reasons- and, quite frankly, I don't believe they would help. I went through problems in my past relationship merely because my fiance' at the time thought it was something I could just snap out of. Believe me, I wish it were that easy! I've had many issues with my parents and I have both highs and lows. It's difficult finding someone who can be there for me through both. I understand that it's a lot of work, but there's something everyone here should realize. When someone is going through depression, they do not want you to be your savior. In fact, we don't even want your sympathy! Like everyone else, we just want to be loved while we fight our inner demons. I've gone through multiple suicide attempts. Luckily, I have a wonderful man now who has stuck with me through my highs and lows and I've finally been able to trust that there is someone out there who won't leave me.

This is a song written by Voltaire, but I figured it would belong here since it's written as a joke. Voltaire is a Gothic singer (one of my favs) and all of his stuff is just funny. When reading this, put it to the song from The Wizard of Oz.

"I'd be thinner, I'd be taller
Go clubbing in my collar
With skin pale as a moth
Dressed in black, I'd go creepin'
While the normal folk are sleepin'
If I only were a Goth
With my hair up, I'd look fancy
Like Siouxsie and the Banshees
With silk or velvet cloth
Dressed in boots, never sandals
And the room would be lit with candles
If I only were a Goth

Yes I'd wanna die
From the bottom of my heart impure
Would I like another clove? Well, sure
And after that, we'll go listen to The Cure

I'd pretend to be a vampire
Like in stories 'round the campfire
I'd suck your bloody froth
Yes the thing I'd be best at
Is impersonating Lestat
If I only were a Goth

In my casket purse I'm toutin'
Einsturzende Neubauten
And pagan hymns to Thoth
Yes the world would be depressing
Over death I'd be obsessing
And this corpse that I'm undressing
Would be sexier, I'm guessing
With my diet I'd get scurvy
And I'd worship Peter Murphy
If I only were a Goth"

My roomate and I drive around singing this all the time.
