Vampire Love: Chumbawamba, Tiramisu and Water Sports

Gothscene Communication Update

I’ve been exchanging emails with Normal Girl over the past few nights; nothing crazy, just small-talk. However, she seems primed and ready for a date. I’ll be in NYC this entire weekend, but I’m pulling for a meeting next week.

I just sent her the message, “So what are the chances of us hanging out next weekend?”

Pretty smooth of me, right?

Sike. That line sucked, but this is gothscene.com – being smooth doesn’t even matter, just like on www.scottbrundage.com.

As I was browsing the site last night, I stumbled upon an incredible feature:

Chat rooms.

Without the confines of a one-on-one chat, I was able to engage multiple undead users at once. Check out the online party that I attended:

chuckblog> “Emo for the common man”
666bloodyroses> hmmm…i dont think you can put…common and emo in the same sentence…

666bloodyroses> *sings* lets all go to the lobby …lets all go to the lobby to get ourselfs a snack!

At this point we moved from the “goth” chat room to the “lobby” chat room.

blackethx> night
chuckblog> It was really great chatting with you guys!
spawn89> bye
motherdarkness> g’night
nesolith> later
chuckblog> Lord Bless!

The chat provided some really great insights on a range of topics:

Chumbawamba was overplayed in Detroit.

The undead enjoy fine italian cuisine and participating in water sports.

I’ve now been mistaken for an 18 year old in both real life and the internet.

A unanimous agreement has been reached among the living and undead: Maroon 5 really blows.

(Sorry Yeti)

Chuckblog loves you more than a 12 hour night of sleep. Come back and tell all your friends!

  1. Hilarious.

    This reminds me of when I was in high school, my mom and I stayed up late every night trying to start a one-on-one cyber chat with people in singles chat rooms, but our cornballin’ got in the way most of the time.

    You should try to up your game and try out some lines to get someone to cyber with you.

    Oh and whatever you do, don’t use the line “Is anyone on their period?”

    On wikipedia I typed “list of death metal bands” and half of these names could be used as descriptors/adjectives in your conversations on gothscene.

  2. Adam Levine will find you and tear out your throat.

  3. I hear that pheromones work well in chat rooms.

  4. okay, i don’t check this shit like its my job or anything, like Gerry doesn’t have the link as a constant g chat post or anything. but if there’s anymore maroon 5 bashing…your getting soooooo unbookmarked.

    ya hurd
