I am a sad olde goth...
I have been out here on The Wire since it was just BBS.(WWIV anyone?). MIDI, floppies and Amigas are still true to my heart. I play the piano, sometimes I even play it well. Attending the University of Alberta for my BFA in Drama-Technical Theatre Production. I create the music for the group "drift frozen", as well as various strange sounds for whoever will pay me. NO I DONT HAVE A FACEBOOK! And if you need to ask my "real" name, then you are not a friend of mine...
Who I'd like to meet: Hearse drivers and lovers, hocus-pocusers, midnight tokers, critical theorists, drama geeks, pretty pretty people and those who love the Glitter Dark.
On candystripe legs the spiderman comes, Softly through the shadow of the evening sun. Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead, Looking for the victim shivering in bed. Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and Suddenly! A movement in the corner of the room! And there is nothing I can when I realize with fright- That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight.
Just because the forsaken FaceBook sees more action these days doesn't mean I don't lurk around these parts ;) Miss you very much - please come visit soon? Edmonton is just not the same without you.
