I love the summer solstice mostly because it means shorter days! And I agree with you Angel Spun, about looking forward to the halloween decorations. For years, until black nail polish became... trendy *shudder* halloween was the time I stocked up for the year. Heh. If you want black Ironwork and REAL spiderwebs, You should come visit Louisiana. My guy's shop has been declared "too goth for me" by one of Baton Rouge's palest night walkers.  Mostly the black paint dust, clinging to the cobweb (there used to be more, but over the years I gather they've ... grown together... so now it's a cobweb shaped ceiling) and the massive gate they were working on at the time with old new orleans style scrollwork. I've seen pictures. It was pretty.  Anyway though, I'm a spring/fall person. warm, but not hot. cool, but not cold. less mosquitos. And no June Bugs. I think the local june bugs are trying to eat my eyeballs. I've been getting dive bombed by them for three days straight, and they're all going for the eyes. /tangent. Sorry. I admire morning people... the world is so much prettier right when the sun is coming up. Unfortunately for me, the only way I see the world when the sun is just coming up, is right before bed. (not my fault, by the way. P. can't sleep well at night, and when he doesn't sleep, I can't sleep(pointy elbows), so we both end up giving up, going out to the shop, and coming in around 7 or so in the morning)

He owns the domain where he's planning on putting a website... but he hasn't gotten around to it yet. (he's had the domain for about four years.) Actually, two domains. One that's for conventional iron work like gates, balconies, etc., and one for more art related things(art metal, and possibly metal music).  I can send/post pictures, though, if you want. 

I guess you've got a point about better quality nail polish coming out, but... around the time that it became a mall rat trend, and I actually got accused of trying to copy THEM... I was like, screw this.
Bats, I like bats. And not just for the gothy, vampiry air. Bats eat mosquitos. Bats are my friends! Down here, it's so hot and humid from April on, that any sort of sleeve is impossible. And it sucks, because I'm anti-shorts, and don't want to get bug bites in... uncomfortable places from wearing long skirts, so i'm stuck in jeans all year. Early in the morning, though, when the sun is first rising over the bamboo-ish stuff in the front yard, and everything is dewy and misty... it almost makes up for the summer heat later in the day. (if we had central air conditioning, it would indeed make up for it. but we don't.  )

Nowadays, my look is.. not one. I'm equally likely to be found in jeans and an avenged sevenfold t-shirt; black satin skirt with lace insets, black haltertop, and of course, the black lace overshirt; a flowy black velvet ren-fantasy dress with blue lace sleeves and a chain mail belt; or a green tye died velvet halter dress and brown crocheted vest. (simply an example of my four favorite outfits) *shrugs* I don't fit in with any one style, and that's how I like it.  I seem to have left my good black polish in missouri, so I am usually to be found with dark purple or green.  I haven't really recieved any negative comments since I was in high school. I think once I got out of populations where a childish petulancy is firmly bolted in place at the forefront of the personality, I became far more accepted. Or maybe I just live close enough to New Orleans (about 60 or so miles) that the people here are used to weirdos and freaks.
