There are also a lot of extant fashion blogs, and I don't want to be repeating what others are doing already.The HouseCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783576090040274742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-6275566147173923852012-07-14T10:14:24.291-07:002012-07-14T10:14:24.291-07:00You should be true to who you are and write as you...You should be true to who you are and write as you see fit, and I'm sorry if i upset people but have learned from experience people either take you as you are or not at all.

Raven ends up doing more gardening than I do (and insists he kills everything he tries to grow, despite a very green pile of evidence to the contrary...) And I spend more time helping with landscaping, invasive species limitation and other outdoorsy, plantsy stuff for various environmental groups than I do sorting out my own garden O.o <br /><br />My recipes start off as making it up as I go along or out of a recipe book and then get refined to how I like them. I failed home economics at school so I'm not sure how reliable a source I am, but people seem to enjoy what I cook/bake/make. Maybe my cooking is actually awful, I've just got used to it, and everyone else is humouring me. <br /><br />I also just end up posting pictures of cemeteries... and churches, and pretty non-religious buildings, and anything else that stays still long enough for me to point a camera at it.The HouseCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783576090040274742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-71402199080223216402012-07-13T05:24:47.413-07:002012-07-13T05:24:47.413-07:00Outfit posts are easy for me to do, in one respect...Outfit posts are easy for me to do, in one respect. It's just writing about my clothes. The effort is when Raven and I collaborate on illustrating them. He photographs, I style and model. Raven does the hard bit! Personally, it feels a little narcissistic of me, and anyway, there's a lot more I like about Goth than just clothes, and I miss talking about buildings and paintings and all the things that drew me into the subculture.The HouseCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783576090040274742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-65261976349225192452012-07-13T05:16:55.189-07:002012-07-13T05:16:55.189-07:00I think I'm going to limit myself to 2 fashion...I think I'm going to limit myself to 2 fashion posts per month, and then try and have something music related each Monday, and something art history related every Thursday and something photography related on Fridays. This will a) encourage me to do the sorts of blogs where I have to double-check my facts and find pictures that are public domain (checking the latter can be time consuming) as this sort of blogging requires more effort and therefore can fall by the wayside slightly. <br /><br />If I do a weekly band showcase, I should also spread a bit of information about Goth-ish (not just Goth, but Coldwave, Deathrock, Darkwave, etc.) bands that are slightly less known about. I'd like to think all Goths know about Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure etc. - the stuff that gets played at pretty much every Goth club night on the planet. More than those bands made that sort of music, and while some of them were mostly imitative and not so good, others are quite enjoyable. I'm also thinking of every now and again finding songs that are not Goth in genre, but might be Goth-friendly, e.g all the various versions of "Paint it Black" or maybe things like "Cemeteries of London" by Coldplay - it's got arches, witches, ghosts and God talking in his garden... I'm sure that's got to be Gothic even if it isn't Goth.The HouseCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783576090040274742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-11515039241667985692012-07-11T17:57:58.743-07:002012-07-11T17:57:58.743-07:00Yeah, it can be kind of tricky to write by what...Yeah, it can be kind of tricky to write by what's popular... the comedy posts over at http://emporiumgothica.blogspot.com are what seemed to get the best hits and responses, yet it's hard to come up with that every day. Still, if you don't blog what you like then you tend to neglect the blog and soon it dies off.Talia Felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798780272848599312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-85501882311570497622012-07-11T13:34:17.305-07:002012-07-11T13:34:17.305-07:00I feel that it's your blog and you need to do ...I feel that it's your blog and you need to do with it whatever you find appropriate. Changing the blog's content somewhat certainly won't offend me, but as always, either I'm interested in the subject matter or I'm not. Articles on bands, music, art history and opinion sound interesting to me. I'm looking forward to reading them.Nightwindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148270720593016700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-9330695662349636792012-07-10T06:03:54.230-07:002012-07-10T06:03:54.230-07:00I know what you mean.

My blog is all over the place content wise, been a qualified chef and horticulturist I should blog more recipes and gardening things, but I just post pics of cemeteries. I love your blog anyway.App'yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362947303988103823noreply@blogger.com
