IL* : secret gothy cult???

il* is a cult, i tell you! i saw it in my dream!

oh....you don't believe me? here:

in this dream, i was walking down the street, with a friend of mine, a girl. we were in the french quarter, on some super-seedy edge that didn't even have any shops, or houses, just run down buildings. there was a cult, some gothy weirdo incense burning jim morrison listening cult, through a doorway in the alleyway. my friend knew about this, even though she was so geeky, and it was a very secret cult. so we went in. and instead of kicking us out, the ringleader, a tall and lanky man, invited us in. there were all sorts of people lying about, all stereoptypical gothy types. looking bored and 'discussing' things.

he was pulling nametags out of a hat, because to join, you had to take on a new name. for me, he pulled out one that said 'rainy.' i protested, because i wanted to keep my own, but he threatened to kick us out.

so we were in the cult now, and my name was rainy. and some sweet girl came up to me and took me under her wing. she made sure i was wearing the right socks, because if you wore the wrong ones, something horrible would happen to you, even though the cult leaders wouldn't tell you that was one of the rules. it turned out that she used to be rainy, but now she had some new name.

she showed me where the secret alcohol fridge was, and poured me a glass of tanqueray and ice, which i drank quickly, even though it tasted like water.

and then i woke up.

i've discovered your secret, il*...

We, uh, you, uh, we have a secret alcohol fridge? Damn you, how much do I have to post before you let me know these things?! *weeps*

― Rebecca, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

PS When I find the fridge I will be searching for VODKA and ARCHERS and I will definitely not be constructing a snakebite and black, so don't call me gothy. It's not even possible to be gothy with this hair colour, anyway. Slander!

― Rebecca, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have been in the secret alchol fridge today. It contained lots of Timothy Taylors Landlord which I merrily partook of. Yes.

― RickyT, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Which also isn't a goth drink.

Yes, Brian and I are all being all goth with each other RIGHT NOW! We're going to kidnap you tonight and dress you all in black.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

but....but....but....i have to go to the airport tomorrow!

may i please reschedule this kidnapping for the next evening?

― nancy b., Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah, Kodanshi, do you have any idea how much FEAR fills my tiny hypercaffeinated heart when I see a large gap in one of your posts and learn that it's waiting for a 60k jpeg on a domain whose name nearly contains the word "semen" to load? I certainly need that alcohol fridge now.

― Rebecca, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh FINE. Hey wait, I have to be at the airport tomorrow too. I will kidnap you THERE. ;-) Seriously, I'll be hanging around waiting for a connecting flight to Phoenix leaving at 11:30 am or so on America West, so if you want to track me down and laugh at me, feel free. I won't run and cry. Too much.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nancy, you should definitely meet up with Ned Raggett! He is actually a corduroy teddy bear!

― rainy, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Aw. *blush blush*

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

become hippies

isn't this one of those "vector of the totality"/matter meets anti- matter type deals? i'd rather be goff than hippy. if that's a choice. eesh. (although i know i have at least one blood bruvver around here who also a has a strange fanciable attraction to thee children ov thee night.)

i miss my crazy gurl. holidays suck my ass.

― jess, Monday, 17 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

awwwwh geeez. ::blushes::

hmmmm. and i don't seem to have been kidnapped. damn.

i also did not check the board in time, and completely missed my oppurtunity to meet sir ned. sillier still, because i was wandering around the airport bored out of my wits, at that exact time. it would've been a quite nice time for a courdoroy teddy bear picnic. geez meneez.

i also second this motion preferring all that is gothy to all that is hippy. yes sir.

What would a hippy crossed with a goth look like? What would they be called? A Hipoth?

― james, Monday, 17 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A guppy. I'd rather be a hippy though.

That sock thing cracks me up. NO WHITE SOCKS!

― Maria, Monday, 17 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A hippie crossed with a goth = W ayne Hussey, 1987. Or this image if you like.

To Nancy = aw, mutual regard. :-)

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 17 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

>>What would a hippy crossed with a goth look like? What would they be called? A Hipoth?

Even I am a wearing a blue and white stripey top. I do however know one person who went out CLAD in black leathers and CAPE to a barbequeue. He is a new nutter on the scene it is almost a shame I will never have got to know the INSANE CRAZY FULE before he melts away into the soil of this world...

I like that nancy spelled it "il*" as though we were the secret unspellable name of G-d.

― Rock Hardy, Saturday, 5 January 2008 20:39 (seventeen years ago)

i thought she was google-proofing.

― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Saturday, 5 January 2008 21:55 (seventeen years ago)

Naw, if she'd spelled it out, her face would have melted like that dude in "Raiders."
