16.Do you feel confident or comfortable interacting with other Goths or gothy people (online or IRL)? Why or why not? Definitely online.

But, I'm always happy to make new friends!

18.Is there something you wish there was more of in your subculture? I'd wish for more awareness and acceptance. Please, mommy of 3 walking towards me on the sidewalk, don't cross the street to avoid me. And don't scold your child for saying she liked my hair. I'm actually a nice person.

19.Care to share an embarrassing story related to your “darkliness“? When I was about 11, I was just starting to get into the goth subculture, and was just googling "goth makeup". Well, I came across this image of a girl that had drawn barbed wire across her eyes, and decided "YES! That's gonna be my thing!" So, i practiced and practiced, and when the next Monday came, I decided to show off my awesome goth-points at school. Apparently, the teachers didn't like my makeup as much as I did, and sent me to the principals office for "causing a distraction." So the nurse in the office wiped all my makeup off, while i was screaming and crying my eyes out because YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, I AM THE NIGHT! I went back to class makeup-less.

20.How are you at DIY? I LOVE DIY! I cosplay, I'm currently making my own Ren. Fair costume, I make a lot of my own furniture when I can't find anything like what I'm looking for. DIY is easily how I spend 20% of my time.
