My little story for your amusement

I guess I should not totally class myself as a goth, although I go to the goth club in my erea every chance I get, I am much closer to the Vampire realm.

I started studying vampires when I was too young to pronounce the word, and by the time I hit elementary school and could read well I knew enough to write a book. It was funny because my mother hated my tendencies and said Satan was taking over my mind. With her he'd have had competition.

I've always had a passion for cemeteries, old houses, and I've driven antique cars almost exclusively. I drive a 59 Ford right now, that is actually gothed up quite nicely.

In recent years I took on making props and selling them and with the use of a set of hearses (a 1966 and a 1981 I affectionately call Silvie since it is silver) I set up a casket based photo set at attractions in the fall and sell props there.

My neighbors went bananas when I moved in, two hearses in the yard, caskets in the house, skeletons everywhere and loud music (Midnight Syndicate is my top choice for that) playing on a PA. A family walking downt he road became scared and ran when I came out, in my dark angel shirt, and long overcoat. It amused the @ out of me, sorry, but it did.

I've been stared at, ridiculed, and told how immature I am, too old to act like some teenage kid in rebellion. I reply thanks for noticing, because it's the immature ones with a streak of childishness that make the world a more fun, better place.

Besides, as long as fat bald men who look like bean bag chairs can consider themselves attractive, I should be free to walk the earth. Have I slept in a casket? Oh yeah, at first for the laugh it gave me, but since refurbing it for photos, I find it to be very comfortable.

I hope my little short bio gives you a chuckle, because good humor is what it is all about. Oh, if you read this and want to have a really cool vampire look, might I suggest Shrine of Hollywood. They are pricey, but my black overcoat is awesome to look at. barnabus isn't my name of course, but since most of the vampire community picks a name, I like the one reminiscent of the fictional character fromt he sixties, with haunting music that my mother used to play all the time on her sane days.

Cheers:):)

Have fun.
