so I've been reading back issues of QC...

and one of them made me grin, because it explained why I'm not a goth anymore.

Yup. I'm so cool I'm not even goth. I used to be goth, back when it was cool, before the scene got taken over by upstart snot-nosed kids who shop at Hot Topic. Le sigh.*

I can still dance and glare with the best of them, though. Turns out that glaring while dancing is actually a pretty hard habit to break, once you've trained yourself to do it.

Actually, I don't miss the goth scene. The closeness of the community was comfortable, but also pretty confining.

*That's not how I actually feel. I just used to hear a lot of people say stuff like that to explain why they left the scene.

Glaring while dancing....

[brigitte-lin.livejournal.com]

Hah! That explains it! I've been told I glare while I dance repeatedly by an [uncool] idiot who said, "Why you so serious!" Where the hell was she when we were all being cool at Manray? Actually, I picked it up in Montreal in the early '80s. The French women there really could do blase...so naturally I emulated them. Grinning while dancing is something I've not been able to do...eeks!
