Coolness

I'm bagging up a laptop, and I hear someone say "Skinny Puppy" behind me. I turn and it's our Oracle admin. A very normal looking woman. She noticed the shirt I was wearing. "Memories," she said in a sing song voice.
"Good ones?" I asked.
"Oh, yes. Good ones."

One of the mail admis listens to New Order and Midnight Oil during the day.
The network admin saw my Henry's Dream album and nodded in approval. He also used to listen to Front 242 back in the day.

All of them are not Goth looking in the slightest.

People do surprise you.

I once scored mad interview points for liking Front 242. Too bad the company had no health insurance benefits.

yeah, sometimes I forget we're not the only ones out there who listen to new wave and industrial :).

You know, I often have the opposite surprise - I'll meet someone at a goth club and find out they're not a total fake and/or lame-o, or they don't have an ego the size of Mars with zippo to back it up. To me, that's one of the best surprises of all!
