Scandinavian defense

Try the scandinavian modern- I've played it with great results. Almost always, black has the advantage after the opening, usually in development.
i think its good because it makes white castle on the king side
and the queen can attack later on a diagonal.

None of these make a bad opening good. The queen can 'attack on a diagonal' but white can most certainly defend, consolidating his advantage. Also I'm not sure why you think forcing white to castle kingside is helpful, or what's stopping white from castling queenside in this line
