Welcome, twink! California rocks! My in-laws live out there. I am in Tennessee, and while there are a fair (but small) amount of goths here, I still tend to get strange looks from the general public depending on where I am and how dressed up I am. And yeah, the weather here is awful. It has been bright & sunny every day for the last few days and I'm already dreaming of Fall again. Ugh.
It's never too late to be yourself, I say! I have always been drawn to and fascinated by darker things, but it wasn't until the last couple of years or so that I let that show outwardly b/c I was always so afraid of not fitting in. Then I realized I didn't give a crap anymore. I wear what I wear because I have fun with it & can express myself more.
Anyway, welcome to the dark side!
