You scored as Confused Outsider.
Perhaps you aren’t familiar with the goth subculture or you have some misunderstandings. That’s ok, just keep an open mind and don’t feel pressured to adopt a lifestyle that doesn’t fit you.
Hmmm, not surprising considering every answer was pretty much smack on “disagree”.
You WOULD be the romantic goth. I’m just the “whatever” goth, dying Old Navy tees black and stuff.
You are an ethereal goth… you favor Projekt and Dead Can Dance and have very refined tastes. You like the fine arts and probably prefer red wine to snake bite.
Me too aj, my answers were mostly “disagree.”
I rather thought there should be an option for ‘eh’.
Unfortunately I incautiously admitted to liking cemetaries, so I’m a romantic goth.
And I was always the one standing out conspicuously in goth clubs in blue jeans and an indie band top. Pfff.
Or even ‘eh’?’
Oh pants. Too many apostophes. Gah.
You scored as Perky Goff.
As a former Mortician I’m not sure how to take that…other then to say, if you had to be around death and graves all day long you’d find ways to be perky too.
It’s a survival thing.

Anita, I spent a lot of time near graves too. My grandmother let me drive around cemetaries because she said everyone was dead already! Then she’d have me steal flowers from graves and put them in the church for the living to enjoy. I don’t know if I was trying to be Perky but I do remember trying to hold my breathe running across fresh graves so the ghosts didn’t try to hitch a ride. A survival thing for sure.
Hi Jennifer-
You know at the Cemetery I worked at kids since the 1940’s ( like my Dad for instance ) used to go and practice their driving around the grounds. They even did stories about that in the Seattle Newspapers.
It’s a tradition.
I never did that, however as a kid when it snowed I’d grab my saucer sled hop on a bus to te cemetery and…well, it was fun.
As to grave flowers- hate to say it but I could never bring myself to take anything off the grounds. Wouldn’t want to leave a trail the ghosts could follow :-)
I probably need an exocism! Which is ironic because my grandmother sent me the instructions to do one on my son……. My grandmother was interesting. I was only nine when she had me driivng off with flowers so I didn’t have too much of a choice. The more I whined not to do it the more she laughed. Gosh I miss her!
Cemetaries are wonderful, peaceful places. The birds sing, the dead leaves whoosh around in the breeze, and the flowers remind us of death that leads to life. I love to go and sit there, not so much to visit the graves of people I knew (they aren’t there… just their bodies), but to enjoy the atmosphere of one place where things slow down and stop, no matter how rushed and hurried life gets.
They’re also a great place to make out.
The grounds keepers at the cemetery I worked at her METICULOUS we had no dead leaves blowing around- not unless they were in front of a leaf blower…however-
one night I was leaving one of our outer buildings and the only door I could leave by was jammed shut.
It was jammed shut because two people decided to use the door as a back brace if you get my drift.
So when the door gave way I say in this hoarse voice, ” I’m not dead yet, let me out “….dumb but it made them both scream like little girls.
Funny part is- they were both guys.
True Story.
amm
“I’m not dead yet, let me out“
I am laughing so hard.
You know, that story just keeps on giving and if I knew who those guys were I’d send them thank you cards.
amm
I would send them cards too just for the laugh I got today.
That and the “nice rack” story should so go in a movie.
Welllll…..that sounds like a good idea.
amm
” Let me out I am not dead yet.” what I would give to be so quick witted. Make them scream like girls…… ohh I love it!
Oh shucks that didn’t involve wit, I just wanted them to move so I could get to McDonald’s before they closed for the evening…so it wasn’t my brain that was thinking.
It was my stomach.
Oh I am romantic goth too!
Now you should start to worry.
don’t know if I was trying to be Perky but I do remember trying to hold my breathe running across fresh graves so the ghosts didn’t try to hitch a ride. A survival thing for sure.
Sheesh, thanks for the survival tip!
There are worse things in this world than both being romantic goth, hooked on hard men, and the same Nine Inch Nails song. Like, we could both be getting apology posts from someone named Richard we do not know who is sort of a drama queen and also totally missing the point and apologizing for the wrong things.
Oh. Wait. That is already happening.
Never mind.
I took that whole bleeding quiz and ended up with a “your connection has timed out” message.
Fuck that.
I like cemetaries a lot. I spent half my highschool career hanging out in one, wagging classes. I appreciate them for too many reasons. I’m freaking 35 and have known more goths than I can jam into one sentence before I get bored. Who cares.
Oh, what the hell. Did my last comment go to spam?
Years ago, I read a great book by Peter S. Beagle called “A Fine and Private Place,” and I remember one of the lines from a poem was:
“The grave’s a fine and private place,
But, none, I think, do there embrace.”
If memory serves, the book was about a couple of ghosts who fall in love in a cemetery. I always thought that was a sweet concept.
And let’s not even get me started on MY PARTNER, THE GHOST…
It did but I saved it.
I worked in a Funeral Home and here are few things I REALLY used to think about as I strolled around the grounds ( on roller-blades NOT I’M NOT KIDDING- at breaks and lunch your time is your own and we had these great trails…)
Anyway, if you were a ghost would you haunt a place where embalmed and not embalmed remains ( a set of remains which are YOURS)are wearing plastic undergarments?
Me,I wouldn’t want to romance someone over the grave of someone who was wearing them…but that’s me. I’d consider THAT a mood killer.
Would you haunt a room where dead bodies are being made up for viewing and the living are standing over you and you HAVE to listen to stories about SOME IDIOT ( cough cough )who managed to get a Ramones CD stuck in the CD player in the chapel and how you hope nobody hits CD 5 or we’re all in a lot of trouble or what it was like for her to drive onto a ferry and hold up the line because she couldn’t decide if you should claim one passenger ( expensive ) or claim the dead person because you can save money
Didn’t think so.
I like cemeteries to but if I were a ghost I’d haunt a place like those Catacombs in Italy or the Pyramids in Egypt or the dock down in Seattle where they find floaters on a regular basis.
Just some thoughts.

lol yeah this is sad actually. We could go to the same bar and we’d both eye the roughneck while his successful doctor buddy is sittin’ next to him.
“Abuse me!”
“No! Abuse ME!” lol

Spoken like a woman who’s lived it!

Vanessa, these things aren’t personal.

haha! They probably thought they were being punished!
Do they really find…floaters – on a regular basis in Seattle?
Stiletto
Yes they do- down by the Piers.
Mostly they’re homeless people and that doesn’t make the news in a big way.
Stiletto, share a drink with a small child… floaters are a common occurrence.
Wait… nevermind.
