Signs you're a gothic

This is (apparently) a newsletter that St. Mary's church in Colorado Springs sent out this week:

If Your Child is a Gothic, Reform Through the Lord! )

-Frequently wears black clothing.
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically.
-Spends large amounts of time alone.
-Requests time alone and quietness.

Am I wrong in saying that all of these are qualities that are also possessed by, um, priests? And other men of the cloth or clergy? Hm.

Here's me:

-Frequently wears black clothing.
-Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include: reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other Satanic worshipping symbols.
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically.
-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.
-Drinks alcohol.
-Complains of boredom. (Note: This one would have to be my personal favorite for "Goth Signifier", because please - try "Teen signifier". "Signs your teenager may be a teenager! Read the horrific truth inside that Satan doesn't want you to know!")
-Sleeps too excessively or too little.
-Is excessively awake during the night.
-Spends large amounts of time alone.
-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult.
-Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of this. (Okay, it's Count CHOCula, and furthermore, IT'S CEREAL)
-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)
-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer. (*waves*)
-Dances to music in a provocative or sexual manner.
-Expresses an interest in sex.
-Claims to be a goth.

I stuck that last one on there because, looking at the list, I clearly am the gothiest goth that ever gothed.
