Subject: insert clever subject line here [intro - semi-long]

What with the recent splurge in intros and re-intros (and re-re-intros, give
or take), I've decided, probably to the chagrin of all of you - [read: "damn
it all, not a-bloody-nother one!"], to peek out of my over a year long
lurking shell ever so briefly to wallow in
the oohs and ahhs of self-absorbed babble. I have a bit of a problem with
parenthesis, you'll notice. Bear with me, this could get long.
So, the basics. My name's Danyell (sorry, no fancy and sho' shpookay alias'
[1]), I live in Bensonhurst - Brooklyn, born and raised - and I'm the wee
tender age of 18 (Gemini, Leo rising, for all the other astrology freaks out
there). I graduated City-As HS in February (after a horrific
freshman/sophmore period of two years at Shawshank...er, Brooklyn Tech), was
on brief hiatus in the hellish tropics of No Name Suburbia, Florida for the
duration of March and April and have since been working for slave wages at
Toys R Us as a means to support my preparative alcoholism and addiction to
clubbing while I try to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my
life. I've been out and about around the scene since I was around 15 - a fake
ID is indeed a many splendored thing - and could usually be found then at The
Bank (surprise, surprise). Currently, I usually haunt Albion and Absolution,
although I'm looking forward to eventually checking out Interzone, Addiction
and The Headless Waltz.
Other basics: I'm of Irish/Italian descent, 5'11" sans boots, and of a
rather...intimidating build >clears throat<. I have long black
hair (about 3/4 of the way down my back) , brown eyes, and a
slightly olive skin tone that no amount of make-up could conceivably cover
without me coming off looking like an estranged member of the Insane Clown
Posse. My clothes tend to lean toward...on second thought, they don't lean
toward anything. I sample the many facets of goth style: Victorian,
Edwardian, fetish (when I'm feeling especially venturous), and so on and so
forth. The only non-variable is the color - yes, you guessed it, black.
(again, surprise, surprise)
Pandemonium & Media (multi and other): Musically, I want to say I have
eclectic tastes, but I'm cha-cha-cha'ing on the line of one too many cliche's
as it is, so I'll just say my taste is...well-rounded. Some favorites include
the almost goes without saying - The Cure (for whomever mentioned they have a
soft-spot for WMS, you're not alone *ducks as well*) , Depeche Mode, Sisters
of Mercy (sans Vision Thing..all I have to say is...HUH?), and Bauhaus, along
with The Cruxshadows, Wolfsheim, Faith & The Muse, Dead Can Dance, Tori Amos,
Mesh, Danny Elfman, Cranes, Jefferson Airplane, Voltaire, Ani DiFranco, Liz
Phair, Toy Dolls, Dead Kennedys, Pink Floyd, Clan of Xymox, Fictional (and
side project Ravenous - I'm looking for absolutely anything by them, if
someone could help me out, it'd be -much- appreciated), Beborn Beton,
Siouxsie...I could go on, but I think you get the picture.
Movies: absolutely anything by Tim Burton, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,
Hurly Burly, A Clockwork Orange, The Princess Bride, Labyrinth (David Bowie
in spandex....drool), The Ref, Clerks, The Breakfast Club, Star Wars (the
trilogy - Episode One was almost offensive), Velvet Goldmine...and so on and
so forth.
I might also mention I'm a bit of a comedy fanatic. I'm obsessed with the
British improv show Whose Line is It Anyway? (the new Americanized version on
ABC Thursdays pales mightily in comparison). A few comics that I practically
emulate: Dennis Leary, Eddie Izzard, Greg Proops (September 1st at
Caroline's...have I died and gone to the promised land?), Janene Garafolo,
Jim Sweeney, Paul Merton and Tony Slattery...to name a few.
Well, this has gone on longer than I intended. To those that are still awake,
that's me in a nutshell - an appropriate receptacle. I'm not entirely sure
how much I'll have to contribute to the threads, but at least I have the big
scary intro out of the way.
