It's either stuck in the washing machine or you have thrown it out because you have only one sock.
If you are losing socks then just buy 20 pairs of the same sock that way you can always make a pair. being a goth you should use only black socks anyway so there is no room for error.
I am beginning to see your problem, you are a goth, you wear black socks, you have painted your room black and you are unlikely to own a washbasket (wicker being un-goth). You will be unable to see any stray socks because they are black against a black background.
You have two options
1 purple socks
2 Buy a wicker basket spray is black and call it a wikka basket, it will then be acceptable.
No offense meant

There are many theorys for the disappearance of socks, it is one of those facts of life that predates washing machines, and may well go back to when women did the wash in the river. My personal theory is that socks are actually an alien life form, and some of them get to go home sooner than others. In addition to losing socks, I'm convinced that I sometimes get someone else's socks, when there is a slip in the space/time warp field that they travel through. I'm still trying to figure out where the man's wool boot sock came from.

there is actually NO "other sock", it is a psyco-socio myth that socks go missing. This is actually a coping mechanism that humans have developed in evolutionary terms. The belief in the so called missing sock is actually an attempt to control the uncontrollable. In a world of war, extreme poverty, nuclear weapons and hot air ballons we need an inoccuous, safe and stable kind of chaos. So instead of *****ing ourselves over the middle east crises, we become absorbed by our own totally fatuous and fictitious problems

i have 3 odd ones in my drawer... always go in my washing basket in twos...yet come out of the washing machine single...one of life's mysteries.
Think the only way round it is to buy all the same socks....that way when you lose two you can match the other two up to make a pair

Before you wash them next time keep one sock back & see what happens then

The trick is to always buy the same type of socks. That way they all match so it doesn't matter is one escapes back to its home planet when you wash it.

well, the washing machine's gotta eat, hasnt it?! It churns and gurgles washes and spins rinses and drains year in year out...where do you think it gets its energy? Electricity?! One sock per cycle is all it asks to keep it functioning. So there you go.

if i was a sock i would make a great escape, i mean being on someones smelly sweaty foot for hours is a pretty hard life he and his gang are probably watching you right now. remember when you left that beer on the table to answer the door (which you thought were kids ) and your beer went missing ? that was them
