Ten Reasons Why I'm Not...

Gnimmel reinforces your stereotypes

In response to certain accusations

...A Goth

1. I'm not wearing black. (trust me...)
2. My hair isn't, and never has been, black.
3. No eyeliner.
4. I like sunshine...
5. ...and generally end up browner at the end of the summer than at the start.
6. "Some of my best friends are goths"
7. A languid love for lilies does not blight me. Or something like that.
8. I don't write poetry...
9. ...or bounce up and down enthusiastically on any sort of dance floor at all.
10. Pink is nice...

...A Thesp

1. I have never been to an audition with the listings section of 'Varsity' anywhere near me.
2. I'm not wearing black. Trust me.
3. I have never deliberately attended a cast party in the ADC bar
4. In fact, my starring moment at the ADC was as an extra prostitute.
5. I have never deliberately called anyone 'lovie', not even in an ironic, post-modern kind of way.
6. "Some of my best friends are thesps"
7. When asked to improvise dramatic speeches, I go 'meep'...
8. ... rather than producing a shining gem of dramatic excellence.
9. Also I have this worrying tendency not to get cast in anything.
10. So if you happen to be looking for a non-thesp with lots of free time for your show...

...A Geek

1. Actually, this one is easy. I don't program in C.
2. I don't program in C, dammit!
3. Also I've never had my own computer...
4. ...so I've never installed Linux on my own computer...
5. ...which means I can't be a geek. So there.
6. "Some of my best friends are geeks"
7. There's nothing more you need to know.
8. That's the end of this list.
9. So go away.
10. Please?
11. (later) um, actually much of the above is no longer true. But I don't program in C. So there. Also I have breasts.
