> Remember the band that called me a "lonely wannabe poser with no

did

into

> I recently emailed the band and apologized for the actions of my

to

> Until they told me the following on a public forum:

> "We have saved every email and message you have sent to Nikki. We

"stalking"

> Their "influences" are as follows:

> Self Destructive Behavior
> Sensory Deprivation
> Transhumanism
> Chaos Magick
> Traumatic Childhood Experiences
> Abusive Relationships
> Bi-Polar Depression
> Insomnia
> Aleister Crowley
> Panic Disorder

> Clive Barker
> The Black Arts
> Robert Anton Wilson
> Discordia
> Genesis P Orridge
> Timothy Leary
> HR Giger
> Tentacle Rape
> Smoking crack while worshiping the Dark Lord

> I'm also curious how much they actually know about chaos magick.
> I'm not sure wearing a TOPY necklace counts as much of anything
but

to
