One of these days...

I have a question

Why are people joining my Gothic BC community but nobody ever joined vancouvergothic (Nancie's community that has been around a lot longer)? Why does my GothicBC Yahoo group keep attracting members when all the other Van-Goth spin-offs all started around the same time have long since stagnated? Why do people expect things of me? How come everybody has to show me their new camera? How come a rant I wrote for alt.gothic eight years ago still gets over a thousand people reading it each month and I get people mailing me about their research papers on the subject? How come people tag on to my freaking hobbies so readily? Why do people like Reptar, Daryl, and other psychos actually demand to be included in my idle goofing around? I'm not a promoter. I'm not a DJ. I'm just a net.Geek that likes to look at the pretty lights in the club and have a few drinks every once in a while. I mean really, the photographs aren't even a hobby unto themselves, they are tanget of another hobby - I take pictures so I have subject material to paint. I don't even know how I ended up being called goth in the first place. I just like what I like and do what I do and for some unfathomable reason a bunch of people have latched onto some of it - and not even the stuff I like best. What the hell is up with that?

OMG!

OK. So I bought "Lost Souls" the other day. I haven't seen it before, but it was a used DVD (i.e. cheap) and I am a Winona Ryder fan. I've been in a crappy mood so I thought I'd sit and watch it. So as I'm sitting there watching I suddenly see this extremely familiar shot of New York. It's this exact building from this exact point of view. The scene progresses and I recognise the building the scene is being shot in from the inside. It's Michele's building, the building I stayed in. I was not expecting that at all. "Peter Kelson"'s office in the movie is in Michele's building. From the look of it either right beside or diagonally above Michele's apartment. Now, whether the movie turns out to suck or not I am *totally* glad I bought the movie because now I can say, "That's where I crashed my first night of my first trip to New York!"
