My name is Michael. My interests include reading, art, dance, poetry, song writing, the occult and the metaphysical. I have special attractions to history, the past, science, and learning. I call myself the Plague Doctor, because I have always been fascinated by the historical figure of the Plague Doctor: Someone who dedicates their all, and is forever cursed with living in solitude; seeing all die, and beind th "final friend" to some. I often sacrifice my own pleasures to see others happy. Its a double edged sword at times. I love Darkwave music, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sopor Aeternus. I am not sure what exactly makes a GOTH --- but I am attracted to the darker aspect of humanity at times. Dark isnt necessarily BAD as some people put it. We all have sides to our nature, and I feel that its only natural to want to be what one wants to be and WHAT ONE IS. i am more "goth" on the inside than out. I am not about to put on black lipstick to fit in to this site. I am here because of Goth is where my attractions lie, but I do not feel the need to dress a certain way to attract an AlternaGuy. I call them AlternaGuys because Its all encompassing! I enjoy my eyeliner and black clothing, though. I like to express multiple sides of myself. BUT my main attraction leans toward those who lead an alternative lifestyle. Piercings, tats, bod mod...things of the sort. lets talk!
