h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If ever there was a list of goth websites, this would be in the top five, at least.
This, to me, is the essence of the goth mindset. Nothing pretentious showy or arrogant; just simple, clean, honest, naked and ashamed.

http://postsecret.blogspot.com/
(The premise: Write a secret on a postcard, and send it in to be published anonymously.)

I've seen a similar site before, without the nice artwork. It was /much/ more lighthearted, right up until the one posting which made me depressed for the rest of the day: "I haven't told my family I have cancer and less than three months to live."

If you're feeling particularly vulnerable or easily depressed at the moment, I recommend you don't look at this site until you're feeling stronger, emotionally. It has real potential to sadden.

However, it also has real potential to heal. This is what I cling to, knowing that my depression has now taken almost two-thirds of my life. I have to believe that by looking at the dark side of life I'm not just sticking to what I know, and I don't /like/ being depressed; but instead I'm finding the tools to cope with what life really is, in the same way this website does.

My favourite? "When I worked at the post office as a clerk, I would read postcards as I sorted them. !!!!! Are you guys still doing that?"

Ah great. I tried trawling around the 'net to see if I could find something to improve my mood after the last site, but instead I ended up on a site which was created so that the families of three recent crash victims could have the latest information. One of them is still alive, although as of the last post (26 days ago), still in recovery.

I think I'll go donate blood instead. It's got to be better than this depressing stuff.

www.deadlounge.com I figured I had to advertise it here somewhere so now I have. It's basically just h2g2 with a more gothic theme.

!

....well... i'm sorry to say it but i dont think i'll be clicking on that link any time soon... i've only just finally got my somewhat good mood back. i think i'll cling to that for a while if you done mind...

Well then try this one would be in my top ten ,some great pics and couple of good poems ,seductive rather than destructive

Seductives always good.

I usually don't like poems; but I'll take a look at both of those sites after I'm done on h2g2. Thanks for the links.

Odd. I may have to try that.

I liked the Secrets website, esp the varied artwork, thanks for the link.

Thanks for the links guys!

Aparrantly my blood wasn't good enough for the blood bank this week. Raspberries to them.

Wow I leave these tabs open for far too long before I post.
That was a simulpost with a 20 min time difference.

No worries JEllen42! Glad you liked it.

Type faster. Or significantly slower.

i cant give blood. i'm anemic.

i must confess! i went there anyway... thanks jerms i liked it. secret post cards is a neat idea.

Slower? How would slower help?

! What is "Anemic"?

Anemic means low in iron; when your blood doesn't have enough iron in it to effectively transport oxygen around.
Like me.

Needs to eat his spinach

Actually that explains quite a lot.

You dont get alot of Iron from spinach. You need to eat more red meat and fish.

Im very tanned, I need to stress again so I can go pale and get the naturally depressed look.

Nothing wrong with being tanned. Personally I'd prefer it, if it didn't mean I'd have to spend more time in the sun, and less time in front of the computer.
