Actually, its because I was homeschooled last year and have to meet the counselor separately to choose my electives. At least I have a bit of time to grow/dye my hair (its a weird color now). My electives shall be...

Well, that filled a stereotype! *Checks "Artistic" off Cliche list*
When my mom was at my brother's registration, she said she saw some "Black clad sullen looking kids" (Then did an offensive "Goth" impression, which looked like a depressed bird. Don't ask.) This is why I'm a bit upset about not going on the normal day. I WANT TO GO GOTH SPOTTING IN THE FRESHMEN GROUP! It will help me establish what I can wear to school (Parental unit will not let me wear black lace gloves or a lot of fun things until I see what its like or something.)
Also, my room is getting cleaner by the day. I has a new dresser (from an estate sale. $75, decent size, HUGE mirror, good quality materials.) and I'm deciding on decorations. Black construction paper bats glue dotted on the walls, yay or nay?
I also need some plain black skirts before school... They are like nowhere to he found. Ugh, why can't my school just have a uniform? It would save so much time.
I have a question to my elder goths; In ninth grade (Age around 14 normally, I think.) how many goths were in your school? I'm trying to figure out if I'll be the only
And a question to anyone: Do rats make good pets? Do they smell bad? Do they require a ton of attention? Is Edgar a good name for a rat? What if I got Edgar a little rat friend? Do they like to listen to Emilie Autumn? Are they as annoying as hamsters? (I had a hamster... It ran on its wheel the minute I started to fall asleep. Evil thing.) I had a rat before (His name was Romeo), but I was like 9 and didn't really like it. Somehow it died, I don't know how. (Maybe the window was left open in the winter? That's what killed a few of our birds.) What should Edgar's rat friend be named? (I'm thinking Toulouse, but that was what I wanted to name a pygmy goat...)
