Thank God my familiy is involved in a community theater group. With my school also being small, I've found I'm about the only Goth.VictorianAndroidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307737533485085015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604527796483114347.post-70199134064407625652011-08-16T19:05:55.834-07:002011-08-16T19:05:55.834-07:00I wish my high school had so many extracurriculars...I wish my high school had so many extracurriculars, my school forces us to fill our electives with extra academics. :(<br /><br />I love estate sales, can you please post a photo of your new dresser and my vote on the paper bats is a "yay."<br /><br />Since I went to a Christian school in 9th grade, I would have been the only Goth if I was a Goth back then. That was when I had a uniform and, trust me, it's not as easy and fun as you think...<br /><br />But once I switched to the ghetto public school, there were a couple Goths but I never became friends with them and all the rest were either hood-rats, bros, punks, geeks or emos. Lots of bros and hood-rats...<br /><br />I love rats. They are so sweet and such cuties. I had a rat named Troy. The only reason to not get a rat is that their life spans are so short.<br /><br />I love the name Edgar. If you get two rats you might consider naming one Prospero, like the prince in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death." It's one of my favorite of his works.Hayleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349902756402469103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604527796483114347.post-44322350392542791812011-08-16T17:29:39.382-07:002011-08-16T17:29:39.382-07:00Thank you both for your comments!
Just to clarify...Thank you both for your comments!<br /><br />Just to clarify... I'm not going to dress "Normal" until I see if there are goths, I just can't start out with lace gloves and fangs and top hats. Those'll come mid October. For some reason, my mother is okay with a corset to school, but NOT lace gloves. Or a parasol.

There's me, who's very outwardly extravagant with my Gothic attire, Courtnii - my bestie, K - other bestie who is a bit goth, and Renae who is the most Goth of us all. She's quiet, doesn't say much, a great artist and has the most beautiful eye makeup. She wears skinny's and lace gloves and the school uniform top. <br /><br />The populace is mainly gangsta/norms, emo's & scenes. The scenes are pretty up themselves for the most part. Everyone sort of mingles though.<br /><br />In year 8 and start of year 9, I was the only "Goth" inclined kid though there were some others that got lumped into the "Wierdo" pile with me. I then moved to a christian school, which is probably what completed my transformation into Gothdom. Funnily it's also where I discovered and became a Pagan. Go figure.<br /><br />You just have to be you at school. What if all the other Goths are Goth Spotting too? If none of you wear your attire, none of you will do it? :/<br />You also don't want to appear as though you jumped bandwagon on the second day. First impression, forever lasting - give it all you Goth. (Haah haah, I'm hilarious.) <br /><br />As for Rats, my brother had them as a kid. They were beautiful, not to stinky ('cept when he FORGOT to clean them). They do require a lot of attention to be kept nice and friendly, so make sure you're willing to and have time to give them A LOT of your company.<br /><br />Edgar is a cute name. They do like friends, but my brother always only had one. That way they had a better relationship with each other. (Get one to start off with)<br /><br />I think they'll listen to whatever you play, just don't play very loud stuff, cause it can frighten them.<br /><br />Solution to the wheel problem? Don't give it a wheel. :)<br /><br />Rats usually live for 2-3 years but one of my brothers was really old... like 9 or something.<br /><br />I had mice, and they were a lot more stinky than the rats. The female rats were nicer (and cleaner) than the males, if I recall.<br /><br />Well... I hope that helps! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481838711814916612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604527796483114347.post-5725250434743452832011-08-16T14:28:21.834-07:002011-08-16T14:28:21.834-07:00I'm the only Goth in my high school. I'm ...I'm the only Goth in my high school. I'm not really ashamed to say that I'm friends with some of the emos and punks (well, make that punk since it's only one dude) but the scene people don't treat me well. Freshmen year can be rough, but I'm going to be a sophomore this year. A lot of sophomores will try to mess with the fresh blood (er, freshmen) but they're mostly just trying to get reactions. And knowing upper classmen is a good thing. Helpful people, usually aren't as bad as sophomores. <br /><br />But I mean .. it really depends on the area and the population and so forth. I live in a progressive large town (or small city, whatever floats your boat) so there is bound to be some "alts." I don't know your case.<br /><br />You'll have to do the research about rats on your own. Don't know too much about them. I've always wanted a pet pig, but I might end up adopting cats when I grow up.Tenebris In Luxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983577121713743072noreply@blogger.com
