     Well let's see what's been going on with me.  I got sick Monday while I was trying to watch a new episode of Sleepy Hollow. :(  For that reason I ended up missing the end of the show.  Luckily, I was able to catch it again on demand last night.  I've been feeling sort of crappy since then.  Today is the first day that I actually feel okay.  Tuesday I ended up sleeping most of the day.  

 
    A band I used to like years ago called Finch released a new album this week.  I really haven't gotten the chance to listen to it due to me having a headache for the past 2 days, but I'm going to make it a point to listen to it.  I've liked these guys since their first album "What it is to burn", and I even have their band shirt to prove it.  Looking at a lot of my old band tees I realized I really do listen to a lot of music.  Maybe I'll post pictures of them when I get the chance.  I also need to post pictures of my room.  I mostly have band posters up, but one of them is really awesome cause it's autographed.  I'm also kind of a neat freak.  My cousin came into my room a few days ago and she was like "Ashley, you're room is too neat."  and I was like "Yeah, what can I say?  I don't like clutter everywhere."  She kind of went whatever and walked out...lol.  She's the complete opposite of me so she's very messy.  Not to mention she has 3 kids so that makes the messiness even more-so lol.  
I found out Nightwish is coming to my city in 2015 around May.  I want to try to go since they have Delain opening for them whom I also really like.  I've been trying to figure out how to convince my friend to go since she always bails on me.  I've been using the guilt trip method lately because she promised me she would be a better friend after not being able to go to Akon this year.  

 
     As for other things I've been reading a lot lately.  I started reading Morrissey's autobiography recently, and it's really interesting.  Honestly I'm not too fond of him as a person, but I really like The Smiths so it was interesting to hear about what happened with them from his perspective.  I also read a book called "That Freak Kid" which ended up being pretty good.  I thought the plot was really better than I expected, and most of the characters had a lot of depth.  I hated that guy Devin though, he was such an asshole...lol.  I thought some parts of it were cliche especially about Jack being a somewhat stereotypical goth kid.  Although the music he liked wasn't really goth music tbh, but what can you do?  Apparently the guy was obsessed with Marilyn Manson.  :/  Manson isn't really gothic music, more-like industrial metal but I digress.  A lot of goths like him, but he's definitely not what I would consider him the type of music most goths listen to, but then again we're not all the same.  Many goths just like his aesthetic mostly.  I think that stereotype started after the whole Columbine thing also.  Because according to society goths are usually "violent, angsty, dangerous, school shooters, etc."  and Manson's antics don't exactly help get rid of that stereotype.  I'd also like to point out that I tried to get into his music, because in high-school I had a lot of friends who were into him.  I never could though, even now.  I've always been more of Nine Inch Nails fan.

About

I'm a 32 year old woman. I'm an artist, and I'm into the Gothic subculture. Things that I enjoy include but are not limited to 80's Music, Reading, Drawing, Animation, Playing bass guitar, Gothic rock, indie music, horror films, anime, comics, video games, and sci-fi novels. I don't know what I'd do without music, and art. I listen to Siouxsie and the Banshees way more than I should.
