I'd like to meet:
Misfits, bastard children, anyone proud to be ugly, people who hate society, who play with dead things or think bones are pretty, poets, drunks, vagabonds, scum of the earth, Baudelaire, 40 thieves, pirates, freaks, geeks, fire breathers, dead hookers, whitechapel fiends, opium sots, dirty dirty whores, porn queens, anyone who takes pride in inspiring disgust from the work-a-day shit-eaters of the world. The fucking uglier you are, the better I'll like you (because I shouldn't be the only one proud of their ugliness).
Since I seem to be getting added by random people, I'm gonna make this really clear. If you say brilliant things like "I'm into real punk. Not that Good Charlotte shit, I like old school like Offspring and Green Day!!" not only will I not add you, I'll probably send you a message through this laughing in your face. If you're offended by disgusting jokes about back-alley abortions and necrophilia and the like, don't add me. I make a lot off upsetting remarks, and I don't want to hear your fucking whining. I hate. A LOT. Not "I hate you," or "I hate people who..." I just hate. It's pretty much a full-time job. Yet, if yer not an ass, I'll be the best friend you could have, and go to any length for you. Go figure...
Finally, if you sound like someone who has never had an intelligent thought in yer skull, piss off. This means not only the yuppie brats on here looking to add some "freaks" to their friends list because they want to seem open to "alternative lifestyles" or what the fuck ever (I didn't deal with that shit in high school a decade ago, and I don't give a fuck about you now). This also means anyone who "cannto tyype," likes to seem "ReEeElLy KeWl WiTh ThEyRe ShIfT KeY ToUrEtTeS" bullshit (god, typing that almost gave me a fucking aneurysm), and anyone who wants to tell me how "bitchin" Taproot, Sevendust, Syndrome of a Down, Twiztid, ICP, or any of this nu-metal bullshit you idiots are now trying to call "goth" is. I have no problem with people having differences in musical tastes from me, but don't try to tell me Linkin Park "really defines new goth." It's the soundtrack to fucking Livejournal. Get over it.
Oh, yeah, and if yer female and looking to be my friend so you can wait for my girlfriend to leave, or to try being cute and flirt with me behind her back? Fuck the hell off. Yer barking up the wrong fuckin' tree, and you couldn't hold a candle to how well she treats me...
Are we clear? Good. Now send me pictures of dead girls and vomit.

Books:
Oh, fucking god, where do I start? I love books. Like, getting an erection when I think of old, out of the way libraries and used book stores. I love the smell of old pulp novels.
Lately, I've been devouring (literally) these:
Red Hat Linux Networking and System Administration by Terry Collings and Kurt Wall
Invitation to a Beheading by Vladimir Nabokov. A bit slower than Lolita, but still interesting. More and more, he reminds me of Albert Camus. Particularly if you read Camus' The Stranger and then read this.
The VMS Users Guide by James F. Peters III & Patrick J. Holmay
Problem-Solving & Program Design in C by Jeri R. Hanly & Elliot B. Koffman
Dead Souls by Nicolai Gogol
The Art of Deception by Kevin Mitnick. Further proof that hackers are, by and large, self-important when writing about their or others' exploits. Still well-written, and he omits just enough to give you a good idea of the cleverness of his subjects, but not detailed instructions to recreate their exploits.
And oddly enough, I finally read Long Hard Road Out of Hell by Marilyn Manson, confirming my belief that he's a mediocre story-teller, and not that shocking of a person. It was entertaining to read for the whole day it took me......
Some of my favorite authors include: Lovecraft, Yukio Mishima, Baudelaire, Jack Chick (fucking hilarious stuff), Briam Lumley, Clive Barker, H.G. Wells, Dostoyevski, Goethe, Cuck Palainchuck, Neil Gaiman, Henry Rollins, Diane DiMassa, Neal Stephenson, Ray Bradbury, Jane Yolen, Dave Sim, Rosbert Asprin, Terry Pratchet, William Gibson, R. E. Howard, and the guy who writes the Haynes repair manuals.
Heroes:
