Things that are annoying me, part?

 So my daughter's boyfriend told her in text that she isn't Goth. Apparently you have to have lots of piercings and long crazy hair and wear lots of eyeliner and listen to heavy, crazy rock music. I am a little peeved to say the least. I keep trying to tell her to just tell him he doesn't get to define her or tell her what Goth is, but she has homework to finish so that conversation is going to have to wait.

I honestly think the kid is just being foolish with words but he needs to be educated.

And now there is Health Goth if the internet is to be believed!

Well, that is interesting. I have no problem with it but I do wonder at the lengths people will go to cling to labels. I've known many goths who took extra care in exercise and eating right who never felt the need to label themselves as anything beyond goth.

That does sound a bit odd...
