You need some giant emo goth graphic to go here too.

Dripping blood, chains, NIN lyrics, you know the deal. Get to work.

How about a giant hand flipping the bird? I love those.

Or a unicorn flying over a rainbow.

OOH: a goth unicorn flying over a black rainbow while flipping the bird!

You're totally hired. I want the unicorn to be angry-looking, and make sure there's blood dripping from self-inflicted wounds too. Or you could, like, dull the end of the horn.

And could we put the words, "I just want to be understood" in faint gray text on the black rainbow?

Blood dripping from self-inflicted wounds? Dude, don't mess with me, I got goth street cred. The unicorn would have one tear, and it would be a drop of blood. It would be the only color in the image, thus focusing the viewer's attention on the symbolized pathos.

I like your copy, but it carries a glimmer of hope that is really uncharacteristic of the genre, but not quite ironic enough to be intentionally paradigm-shifting. We need to really capture the ennui with something along these lines:

- "No one understands ... the suicide of my soul ..."

- "I will always be ... the death of my dreams ..."

- "To know me ... is to know the sorrow of eternity ..."

The font, of course, should be either a curly script or old english, and barely legible.

You = meetup tonight?

Me = still a maybe.

wtf you mean 'maybe'??

i'm bringing my honey, and everything!

I vote for a pic of the band "Hansen" with some flowery script that reads something like, "I love my friends".

I'm not sure which fits my personality more... hansen or goth. hmmmm... tough choice.

You know, the single blood-tear was actually the first thought that came to mind. Get out of my head.

How about, "I used to be ... something more than me ... Mariotta rides alone ... once again ..."

Or perhaps, "One more push... toward... the brink of my soul...."

Oooh ooh! Maybe just, "Death is more a friend to me than I am to myself..."

Alternately, we could go a different direction: "STAY OUT, BITCHES."

Somehow I think none of these brilliant ideas will actually be put into practice. :(

Pfft. You give up hope as easily as those we are mocking.

"Hope ... is as illusory as your Soul ...

my Pain ... is my only Truth."

Ooh. I like that second one, but like this:

"YOU... are my pain. YOU... are my Truth...."

lol, you are way too good at this

What can I say? I'm a visionary.

*snort*

I'm working on it, but nothing along the lines of what you silly kids are describing

Silence, woman. We are creating here.

ohhhhh... no... you... didn't...

now I'll turn all emo and write bad poetry and die my hair black. Maybe I'll even eat an entire pizza then complain about how fat I am.

ooooh i want in on the pizza!!


lets add a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's too!

okay, then we have to look in the mirror, poke at our bellies and cry about how we've gained 20 pounds through NO FAULT OF OUR OWN!! LIFE IS SO UNFAIR!!!! now gimmie that donut.

I prefer Linkin' Park to NIN ...

heh, nice icon

Why thank you :D
