Hello there, rotten, cursed, and macabre loving people of the world. It's September, and for every goth-veering person, you know what that means. We've been consumed with excitement for over a week now, all in anticipation for the changing season, colder weather, the banishment of the heating sun, and to celebrate a beloved holiday, Halloween. It's not all about Halloween; it's more about the excuse to be gothic, wear black, listen to sad music, and write with a quill by candlelight and no one can judge us for it.

Maybe you're an organ playing, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in your long, lace, white nightgown type of goth. Or maybe you're a chains and black platform boots at the local metal bar type of goth, or maybe you actually don't even wear black, because every good goth knows it's not about what you wear. Goth is a personality type. If you keep your decayed flowers around just for aesthetics, maybe you should get yourself checked out at the goth doctor (he's a crow, by the way).
