Gothic (or goth) is a very obscure and often dangerous culture that young teenagers are prone to participating in.

claims to be the Anti-Christ and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)Associates with other people that dress, act, or speak eccentrically
Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities such as the Bible, prayer, church, or sportsShows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft, or anything else that involves Satan

Pff. Don't put yourself down like that. 
You can make clothes to fit your size. If you don't know how, it should be pretty easy to learn considering you work at Michaels which probably has instruction books on that all over the place. (in one general area. )

Actually, we don't carry sewing books. Just knitting, crochet, quilting and cross stitch.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java the thoughts aquire speed, the teeth acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Xyrra had this to say about Reading Rainbow:
So according to this, I should burst into flames upon entering a church!
that makes two of us
Wears band and/or rock t-shirts They don't come in V-neck.
Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick, or nailpolish No can do. Allergies.
Wears any odd silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include: reversed
crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other Satanic worshipping symbols No.
Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos No.
Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music (Marilyn Manson
claims to be the Anti-Christ and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.) Evanescence.
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 Bingo!
Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft, or anything else that involves Satan Probably. Though I usually just make it up as I go along.
Takes drugs Do prescriptions count?
Drinks alcohol No. Don't they do this in church, y'know, with wine?
Is suicidal and/or depressed Sometimes.
Cuts, burns, or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation. (This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local mental health center.) Nope.
Complains of boredom Not so much lately, but sometimes.
Sleeps to excessively or too little This is every person over the age of fourteen. And every person under the age of eighteen. And a few other people too.
Is excessively awake during the night. No can do. Job.
Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light (this pertains to vampires
promoting the idea that His light is of no use) Yeah, well, it's blinding.
Demands unusual amount of privacy Define unusual.
Spends large amounts of time alone Wait, who has large amounts of time?
Requests time alone and quietness (this is so that your child may speak to evil spirits) My freshman year roommate did this. The only music he ever listened to was church hymns. Personally I'm fine with noise unless I have a migrane.
Insists on spending time with friends unaccompanied by an adult My friends *are* adults.
Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns, and elders are but a few examples of this Disregarding them is probably more productive than holding extended arguments with them about the history of paper.
Misbehaves at school Not my thing. And I graduated already.
Misbehaves at home Hmm. Not really.
Eats excessively or too little My doctor told me to do this. I disregarded him.
Eats goth-related foods. Count Chocula cereal is an example of this I eat one bowl of cereal a month, and it's usually Wheaties.
Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood (vampires believe this is how to attain Satan. This act is very dangerous and should be stopped immediately) No thanks.
Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources (ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch) So they'd rather I watch black sitcoms and Jerry Springer than the History Channel or Animal Planet. Gotcha. Screw them.
Plays video games that contain violence or role-playing nature YES!
Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer Most indubitably.
Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music No. I do not desire whiplash.
Dances in a provocative manner I wish.
Is homosexual and/or bisexual No, though I wouldn't mind if I was.
Pursues dangerous cult religious. Such include: Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism, and Buddhism So... any religion that doesn't kill people in the name of religion. And does this mean making my own religion is acceptable?
Wears pins, stickers, or anything else that contains these various phrases: Im so gothic, Im dead, woe is me, Im a goth Nope.
Claims to be a goth Nope. `Doc fucked around with this message on 01-13-2005 at 09:24 AM.
