This is the answer to your question 7 at me:

Well I first saw them on the screens at Organix, then a couple of my friends showed me this program called Ultra Fractal and I was really surprised to learn how easy it was to use. I wanted a visual creative outlet, and I like it. And I just love how it's a drawing of MATH! It's psychedelic in its geekiness...which on my best days, I would attribute to myself. *snicker*

Fuck Paul, I *AM* the Walrus.

Answer to #7: Way *waaay* back in 1992 when I was going to SFU I found a usenet newsgroup that had just been started called alt.gothic. I used to read it a lot, but around 1994 or so started getting tired of the repetition of certain threads and the increacingly bad signal-to-noise ratio. I wasn't the only one. Some spin-off groups formed, like alt.gothic.fashion. In 1998 a few of us from Vancouver on alt.gothic.fashion decided to get together for a shopping trip in town. opium started up Van-Goth on oneList.com so we could work out the details of our local shopping trip without the entire newsgroup having to read about something of only local interest. After the shopping trip she kept the list going and a people on the list would occasionally get together for things like brunch at the Whip or arrange meeting up at the clubs. After a while I thought I would put together a website to go with the mailing list. At the time .com registrations were expensive and .ca domains were free, but you could only register on the provincial level (i.e. .bc.ca) unless you could proove you had offices in more than one province. I thought gothic.bc.ca made more sense than vangoth.bc.ca so that's what I registered. One of the other people on the list said they were going to help me build the site but never did, so it pretty much sat there with next to nothing on it for about a year. Then along came Convergence 6 in Seattle in May of 2000 and I had a bunch of pictures from that to share so I wrote a little photo gallery database. A few months later I bought my first digital camera and started taking pictures in the clubs of people I wanted to make paintings of, and since I had the domain and the photo gallery database ready to go I started posting them to share with the couple dozen people on the mailing list. The first local pictures went up on the site in October 2000. I was living alone and working from home so going out frequently was necessary to maintaining my sanity, and the more I went out the more pictures there were to post. Over time more and more people came to look at the pictures and I got more into making photographs as an end-unto-themselves rather than just snapshots and painting references. The site is, always was, and remains, a hobby -- but at this point a hobby that has gotten a bit out of hand and has a regular monthly audience of about 10,000 people.

It nothing personal, just that I had NO interest in men and was still extremely fucked up.... Hah!
