Okay, I'm up now. These are great questions, Sleazy! Much more interesting than most interviews I do. Thanks so much. You are awesome!
1. Are you a Goth cause you were abused as a child?
I think of myself as Gothic, but that is only a small part of who I am as a well-rounded person. Unless one considers moving often abuse, I was definitely not abused as a child. The only time my parents ever even spanked me was once when I hit my brother. I never did that again. And I still wrote very very tortured and very very bad poetry about love and friendship when I was fourteen.
2. What's the deal with all this counter culture crap?
I think of counterculture as an easy catchall phrase for the various seeker subcultures I am into. It encompasses Gothic, punk, metal, fandom, etc. The original issues of Blue Blood magazine in print all bore what looked like the PMRC stickers for music, only it read COUNTERCULTURE EROTICA EXPLICIT LYRICS. For me, it is about always seeking excitement and passion and a different perspective.
