Now, why would anyone want to 'Categorize' themselves?

What I wear on the outside is an expression of who and what I am on the inside...I would NEVER want to be 'trendy' and I haven't a clue what the word 'fashion' means (which is obvious to anyone who knows me)...If I like something, I'll wear it, if I don't, I won't, no matter what anyone/everyone else is or isn't wearing...

@Urge...I'm basically a jeans and T-shirt person as well, mine just tend to be black because that's the color that I like the most...Just as you may choose to wear blue more than another color...I wear my 'accessories' just as someone else may wear jewelry...It's just something that I like, it doesn't matter to me if anyone else likes it...I dress for myself, and ONLY myself...

Ive been called Goth, Vampire, Witch, Freak, Crazy, Devil Worshipper, Scary, even BIKER (if you can believe that), and some not so nice things, as well...But, I am just ME. I dont fit into any box. The only thing close to a label that I will accept is 'different'...

I suppose that I can accept 'Scorpio' as a label, its pretty much the only thing that really suits me, although I have to admit 'vampire' comes close for many reasons, but probably none of the reasons you may think...Mostly just because I am pale, I have pointy teeth, I'm a night person, and I avoid the sun like the plague, simply because it doesn't agree with me, NOT because I am trying to BE a vampire...It burns my skin, makes me swell, blister and peel, it also hurts my eyes,which gives me headaches, and I simply have no energy in the daytime, it really feels like the sun drains me...I'm really hyper at night, though...People also call me a vampire when I tell them how old I am, and anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that I really haven't changed much since I was 20...I still dress, act, speak, think, feel and sound the same way as I always have...Of course I don't LOOK exactly the same, but pretty damned close...People who haven't seen me in YEARS, always say, "Wow, you haven't changed at all"...Well, they probably wouldn't say that NOW with my hair all cut off and dyed black, but always before...Yeah, I'm pretty boring...

nicely said i've been called a bunch of dumb shit too for the way i dress i've had people call me a fag just because i have long hair. and everybody that does that kinda shit is justa asshole that needs to stop and think about how stupid it is to judge somebody by what they wear or how they wear their hair or anything else.
