Gothic Samurai Pt 1

In case you hadn't guessed, I have been on holiday. In order to facillitate actually having a holiday, I have barely touched a computer in 2 whole weeks. I could have but then it wouldn't have been a holiday would it?

To enjoy the feeling of being a person on holiday, I adopted the persona of Katsumoto from The Last Samurai - a rather dignified stance but capable of chopping idiots into small pieces if provoked.

I encountered no issues at airports at all (which is very unusual for a Goth) - even the security people were more than helpful as I stood patiently waiting for the 'muppets with gold coloured shite from Argos' to walk backwards and forwards through security checkpoints.

I remained calm and dignified and presently, the very helpful staff opened another lane and beckoned me forward.

An irate 'bizzy-man' ran in front of me but I stayed where I was until asked to walk forward. As I passed through, without issue, the security guard wished me a good trip and I watched 'bizzy-man' getting escorted into the 'touchy' place behind curtains.

The flight was lovely and we didn't crash into any immovable objects - even gravity was having a day off.

We walked patiently to passport control and proceeded to the luggage carousel. Our bags arrived as we approached.

A smooth trip from the airport to our 'home' for the next two weeks was peaceful and upon arrival we were greeted with genuine affection.

Within minutes of arrival however, a conversation occurred that was to be repeated several times - but that's ok.

Family Member - "My computer is not working"
Goth - "You're probably not using it right then"
FM - "But you can fix it right?"
Goth - "I could, but I'm on holiday"
*walks away and turns briefly to say, in a heavy Japanese accent*
"This was a good conversation"

Addicted to Sex

According to this article on the BBC, it is perfectly reasonable to be Addicted to Sex. I suppose that is a reasonable assumption Not that I'm saying that I am - that would be a most foolish brag for a famous virgin like myself. Anyway, it got me thinking about other addictions that one might suffer from, and by this I'm not talking about the obvious ones like chocolate, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes or gambling.

I immediately started thinking of what addiction might be a tad more unusual. So here is my starter list of ten strange addictions and no, they are not in evidence in Goth World. Feel free to suggest your own:-

1) - Wearing a nappy as a grown person
2) - Stroking or licking cows
3) - Taking a piss in swimming pools
4) - Golf
5) - Vegetarianism
6) - Getting spanked
7) - Watching soap operas
8) - Sleeping with your pet
9) - Going to a gym
10) - Bingo

Funny old world isn't it.
