Well, I think I'm going to take some kind of hiatus from this LiveJournal thing. Somewhere in the last half-year I must have forgotten how "second-class" the whole practice of sharing distilled thoughts with strangers is. Better to know them in person, that way you have some measure of recourse to their tribal urges of impropriety and loyalty.

Funny how you can exchange contents of thoughts with someone, and it is as worthless and insubstantial as a fart in the wind. But grope someone in the back of a darkened club, and you'll be writing bad poetry to them for months. We humans are such ridiculous things.

If you folks don't see me around here, it's because I'm hiding in the back of a darkened club.

As long as you don't grope me, you won't get in trouble!

A hiatus? You mean you're leaving your LJ? How can that be, the livejournal is supposed to be like oxygen for the troubled.

In reality I think that most people miss the greater intellect of a post to ask stupid questions, when LJ is supposed to be a format for reaching out to another human being. So I understand entirely why you may want a break...but who's going to ask me for political opinion after you...

Whatever you do, make sure it's what you want to do, but LJ should not be a moral decision or a major point in anyone's life.

Mwee hee hee! Awww, no groping of you. Heh. No, worry not. I was actually speaking symbolically. I almost never go to clubs -- not my thing. I find there are better ways and places to meet people that would fit my personality...

I've just been a schmuck and haven't investigated them in too long. :/

I don't think I'll pull entirely away from LJ ... I thought better of it a few days after posting that ... I just have to make sure I meet people through other means as well...

Yes that does sound best, and I think that clubs scare me, because I never go to one without my bf. The thought of me trying to talk to me and being aggresive towards me is too much, I think that unfortunately, I attract the wrong type of guy, the kind that would scream my name under my window for hours until I came out.

That's why I only go to the Rage, because the crowd there is relatively unfriendly, older goths who leave you alone. I have never had a goth guy come on to me. It's just socially unacceptible in our crowd I think.

Yeah, I imagine so, with your excellent combination of politically adept brains, and "lovely bouncing" breasts (as that guy in Davis said).

Probably guys standing under your window every night, before you broadcast your state of going-steady-ness.

Yeah, relatively unfriendly older goths can be a breath of fresh air. I think it may be a generational thing.

Politically adept brains...is that a virtue or a curse?

Personally, I don't like this "new" goth culture, I can't exactly put my finger on what it is about it, but I must say that I don't agree, I don't really like this over-processed music they seem to be pumping out either.

A friend told me something that I thought to be very true about the scene though, he said that the gothic and or industrial scene (socially and musically) does a dip and a dive every few years. It goes underground and then becomes popular again, and then moves up and out to the surface. It never goes away, just burns and fades and burns again.

I can't wait until it goes into fade mode, where the clubs are discreet, and the people who go there go to interact not to harass.
