"If you're going to go mountain climbing in the woods dressed in goth gear, you better damn well "work it".

This is what I told a friend while hiking - in a dream I had last night.  I have no idea what this strange expression says about my unconscious.  Deep down I wanna be a goth - in the woods?  LOL

Dreams are psychic housecleaning, as far as I can tell. Its work is already done, on the subconscious level. No need to overanalyze. ;)

Good story though.

Uuugh...  I've gone hiking through a park in full on industrial goth drab.  And sophisti-goth.  The first form my buckels and chains latched onto every tree branch and twig possible and the second my lace was completely shredded and my petticoat was brown.

You have no idea how difficult it is to trudge through the brush with fourteen pounds of petticoat, clothing, chains, and boots without sweating off the white face.

You should go goth-a-billy. Goth with a rock-a-billy flare.

Oh geez, that's hilarious, you had me laughing so hard it hurt the abs I worked today T___T

I often times SAY things out loud like that while I'm asleep, my b/f gets to tell me about them the next day.  Very entertaining.

Alex is sleeping behind me, pleading with a plate of beef's tongue to not lick him anymore.  There's a kitty licking his toes.  It's so hard not to laugh aloud for fear of waking him up.

I hate it when you just wake up, but say those weird things to someone that make no sense and then you're like wtf am I talking about.

About the dream, well based on CD's experiences, maybe it's your subconscious telling you that you are too demanding on someone that has a more difficult time doing something :P

The funny thing is, I've never in my life dressed goth or really given goth fashion a second thought. I was already 20 years old when I first saw a goth - or maybe a proto-goth - Winona Ryder in "Beetlejuice". I thought it charming but rather affected for an everyday look. At the time I was doing the whole Miller's Outpost/Chess King long bangs 80s copy-everyone-else look, and eventually moved on to the jeans-and-t-shirt-and-don't-give-a-crap-about -fashion look.

I can't remember much else about the dream, but when I woke up the quote was echoing in my head and it somehow just seemed very funny. I think the goths should organize a big group hike through like Yosemite or something in their most eye-catching duds. The expressions on the faces of the corn-fed tourists at the sight of an army of Addams-Family-visual-kei whatchamacallits tromping through the woods with as you said, buckles and chains snagging on everything would be priceless.

Oh, and if I have gotten anything wrong in the way I refer to the goth subculture, please just ignore it because I really don't care about using the 'correct' terminology in reference to any clothing/fashion fad.

LOL! this post made my day! : D

 cd, you have a bit of Christina Ricci in your looks, so I can see how a goth-like look would really suit you.  I imagine the more weight comes off, the more you resemble her.  Even if it suited me, I'm 38 and would feel ridiculous dressing in any sort of bold fashion.

 There is so much good in this I don't know where to start.

Bravo. 

Haha! Im always talking in my sleep and even in my subconcious I'm food obsessed. I once told my mum 'I loooove peas'. Another time I said 'Diamonds are fabulous'. Most of the time no-ones around to hear me though unfortunately(/fortunately?)!

You know, you're not the first person to compare me to Christina Ricci.  The only way possible I even remotely think I resemble her is that stint she did with self-mutilation.  Otherwise, I just don't see it. :|

My brother once half-sang "Hey Jude" in his sleep.  It was pretty amusing.
