I go gothing because:

1. Scaring people is fun.
   
2. It's the perfect chance to wear gorgeous clothes I can't wear any other time of the week because of point one. And I do mean gorgeous clothes. I love my goffing clothes.
   
3. Other people wear even more gorgeous clothes and looking is not indicative of any sort of desire to pick up. In fact, the normal mating rituals do not apply.
   
4. The music is loud, fun and good.
   
5. You can dance. Really dance. Dance like you only dance in your room with all the doors locked.
