I'm wearing a black tee-shirt now, so...
2. Wears band and/or rock t-shirts.
Hmm. I have a few band tee-shirts, normally pretty vintage, so...
3. Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nailpolish.
Only for special customers
4. Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include: reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other Satanic worshipping symbols.
I have a silver bangle on right now...
5. Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos.
Ha! Guilty on both counts.
6. Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music. (Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)
Fine, actually not me. Crap music anyway.
7. Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically.
HA! So guilty. 70% of people I'd call friends are eccentric. Mostly because they're sort of hipsters.
8. Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.
Fine, not me either.
9. Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan.
HA! No but I can see why that would make you think someone's a goth...
10. Takes drugs.
Well...
11. Drinks alcohol.
WHAT?
12. Is suicidal and/or depressed.
That's just sweeping.
13. Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation. (This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local mental health center.)
Fine, not me.
14. Complains of boredom.
Oh I must be so Gothic because I'm bored.
15. Sleeps too excessively or too little.
Ouch... Sunday mornings?
16. Is excessively awake during the night.
Friday nights?
17. Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light. (This pertains to vampires promoting the idea that His light is of no use.)
Fine, not me. I love that sunny thing.
18. Demands an unusual amount of privacy.
If you catch me at a delicate moment...
19. Spends large amounts of time alone.
Fine, I actually need other humans, so not me.
20. Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your child may speak to evil sprits through meditation.)
That's just dumb. I'll request you to shut the feth up if I'm trying to sleep, not very gothic of me.
21. Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult.
HAHAHAHA. Oh god.
22. Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and elders are but a few examples of this.
Fine, not really me.
23. Misbehaves at school.
Ooo, naughty
24. Misbehaves at home.
I am a very naughty boy.
25. Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of this.
HAHA Count Dracula cereal? Numnumnum human souls.
26. Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood. (Vampires believe this is how to attain Satan. This act is very dangerous and should be stopped immediately.)
Well if I'm bleeding, I might staunch it by sucking it but I don't enjoy it...
27. Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)
Uhoh, that's me going to Hell. Too much Military Channel! Curses.

Drat, I must be a Goth. Damn you Fallout 3!

Buddhism? Are you being serious?!
36. Wears pins, stickers or anything else that contains these various phrases: "I'm so gothic, I'm dead", "woe is me", "I'm a goth".
Fine.
37. Claims to be a goth.
What? That's telling enough, surely.
26/37
Hell yeah.
(I mean that in both senses.)
