I'm a Goth by choice. I think I've always been one, but never knew it until I found others like me. Emo scene kids keep getting mistaken for Goths, and it ticks me off.

I'm pretty much the same as the 1Q and I'm not religious. I have christian beliefs but have never claimed a religion. You don't have to be religious to be yourself, it's not hard to do. I personally am scared to death of needles so piercings and tattoos don't happen. Jewelery of any kind gets in my way and I use words that can easily be found in any dictionary. Lastly I'm straight. I've never followed a beaten path for the sake of making friends. Granted I have 1 person that I would claim as a REAL friend but I'd rather have his friendship than 100 friends that I accrued as anything that I'm not. The only person in life that you can truly make happy and be completely honest with is yourself. So get to happy making.
