I'm going to police your confession now. I'm pretty sure that reading Sandman in its entirety fully qualifies you to cosplay as Death, even if you'd largely forgotten it by the time you did so. I hope my mansplaining to you the invalidity of your self-invalidation helps.

Also don't forget how, besides kindergothen and baby bats, the goths complain about perkygoths, mostly meaning girls who model their style on Death of the Endless!

Whew! I feel so much better now. ;)

I had forgotten about the whole mopeygoths versus perkygoths thing, as I am a broke-ass goth who cannot afford to do scene things very often.

ETA: Sorry, this is still the OP; I forgot I was signed in to my other account.

Your poll is missing the option of "You can be a geek if you want to be a geek." ;)

But then everyone will want to be a geek! And we will be popular! And then we will no longer be able to base our entire sense of self-worth on how everyone Is Just Jealous 'Cos We're Smarter Than They Are! AND THEN HOW WILL I FEEL SUPERIOR

PS I just finished Days of Blood and Starlight and I am all like IS THE NEXT BOOK OUT YET OMG *dead* Have you read it yet?

I'm working my way through it reeeaaaally slowly. I had to reread Daughter of Smoke & Bone first because I couldn't remember who anyone was >

[agentclaudia.livejournal.com]

Haha I should probably have done that.

I went to a costume party dressed as Black Widow. I did not know much about her (except that she kicked ass in Iron Man 2 and the Avengers) so I brought a fake KGB ID card, just in case.

Nobody knew who I was.

So was it not a nerd costume party or was it a costume party entirely for ~le fake nerds~?

*could probably not tell the difference between Black Widow and Catwoman without being explicitly told*

[cat-eats-apple.livejournal.com]

LOL. It was a party for ~normal~ people but everybody's costume had to start with a "B" so obviously I couldn't have been Catwoman! xD

That is the weirdest fuckin' theme for a costume party. I like it. :)
