Goths in school...

[kimaru]

The people at my new school aren't rude to me and they don't hate me...they just kinda pretend I don't exist...I haven't had to say a word in a week, I would try to talk to people in the first week but they didn't answer me...

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

Well, my school is a bunch of emo people , so people are shocked to see an actual goth. Couple people asked me if I was gothic, and if so, why wasn't I wearing black nail polish? No one really talks to me much though, I guess because they think I'm no different from the emo kids, even though I'm much too bouncy and hyper most to be considered so.

...edward scissorhands pwns!

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

I love Edward Scissorhands. Though Sally and Emily from NBC and Corpse Bride are pretty cool too.

[Angels&Absinthe]

Edward Scissorhands & Corpse Bride made me cry! I still love them though.
Hmm. . . my friends are all strange like me except one. Well, she's really strange but not in a 'goth' way, or whatever. She doesn't avoid me on civvies day even if I dress fun, but I know she's embarrassed haha. I also know she'd beat up people who made fun of me though. So I know she loves me.

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

It's always nice to have people that will watch your back. And someone else that cries when watching those movies!

[Angels&Absinthe]

It's true! True friends support you, no matter how embarassing they think you are! Really though, she's crazy too, just in a different way.
I think I'm lucky at my school though because I've got my group of friends who stick with me, so even if people were more agressively offended at the way I dress or act, I wouldn't be all alone or anything. People really don't care that much at my school though. I mean, they catcall and talk behind your back, but they don't DO anything.

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

I had people today talking about my velvet skirt. I only caught little bits, but I heard, "I think it's velvet," and the other girl said, "Oh, that is way too much. That is sooo over the top." It's kind of like, I'll worry about what I wear, and you worry about you. I mean, what's their place to say that my clothes are over the top? It was so pretty though. Really vivid purple. I've gotten catcalls once or twice, but many people don't care

[Angels&Absinthe]

oooh velvet. Sounds gorgeous. I admit, I love velvet but I'm sort of undecided on wearing it. I don't know why. I am getting this velvet corset jacket though and I'm very excited Hopefully, it'll be here in time for civvies. Do you have a uniform? Or fun clothes everyday?

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

I get fun clothes everyday. I don't expect that for much longer though. Velvet's so beautiful though, and I wear whatever I please, regardless of what people say. I have an ankle length skirt that is so much fun to wear. Kind of hard to negotiate the stairs in the school wearing it though.

[Angels&Absinthe]

Haha, I'm sure it's worth it. Is it one of the ones that flairs out when you twirl? And hey, I was wrong! For my birthday, my friend bough tme this amazing ankle length skirt thats black with velvet around the tiers. It's very pretty, but i've only had the chance to wear it once

You're lucky! Actually, though, I can't imagine what I'd do if I had to have something pretty to wear everyday. I'd be dead broke. Who'd have thought uniforms would have an upside? I'm a lot richer with them.

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

I am extremely broke. I just spent 100 bucks on fabric and thrift stores. Oh and i got some stuff at Target. But I look pretty, so that's always an upside.

[Breathless Horror]

The new thing at my school is for the ignorant gangster kids to tell me not to wear something, then follow it up with "I don't care about the rest, just don't wear ______" as if they were being generous or something. I'll wear my fedora if I damn well please thank you. I don't understand how they expect me to not be annoyed when THEY would shit if I told them "Don't listen to rap, I don't care if you listen to anything else, just stop listening to rap". Grrrr....

[Angels&Absinthe]

uuugh DIY, huh? Lucky you. I tried sewing awhile ago. All I can say is not my thing. I was horrible and it was depressing because I really wanted to make myself this pretty corset-style shirt. But maybe I'll try again one day. My nana could teach me maybe, but even though she knows how, she hates it too haha

And telling you what to wear? Wow. That would make me do the opposite. . . Besides fedora's are nice! I'm getting my friend one for Christmas. She's a hat person. Really, though, as if they have any say.

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

Fedoras are cool. I'm currently making a corset style shirt, and it's going great, but I haven't gotten to the boning yet :P I find it relaxing. Sometimes. When everything's going right, I find it relaxing, lol.

[Angels&Absinthe]

lol I don't think sewing could ever be relaxing for me. I'd be too busy concentrating on not stabbing myself. But who knows, maybe I just need lessons. I'd take classes, but I'm already doing too much extracurricular crap this year. Which is weird because people stress me out.

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

Only thing I do is an afterschool art studio. Then I get home and look bored. Then I sew.

[Angels&Absinthe]

Haha enjoy the boredom. I'm aiming for more that one scholarship for Uni so I have to be involved in things. I'm in... 9 or 10 extracurricular things at least. I was going to join our environmental club too, but its on Tuesday and thats when I tutor. It wouldnt be so bad but all scholarships want 'leadership' so in our school all leadership things involve religion, so if I reveal my non-catholicism, voila, there go my oppurtunities. Haha, the Religion teacher loves me though.

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

I probably should study, but I'm so tired of school, I don't want to do anything school related once I get home. That's why I do it at lunch!

[Angels&Absinthe]

Haha, I'm actually (procrastinating) doing my homework right now. I'm doing a comparitive critical analysis on the concept of evil in an essay & in Genesis 3 It's due tomorrow, first period

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

Wow. The most homework I ever get is in Chemistry, and I do that in my lunch period. I despise that class with deep passion.

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

He told us today that on top of our labs, we also have to do vocabulary.

[Angels&Absinthe]

God, I can't wait to drop Science. I'm just doing general this year because I need one more credit more it, but you really can't imagine how much I hate it. It brought down by average 4% last year

Catholic school huh? Me too. Allow me to express my deepest sympathies. Someone actually told me that since "god is the only way to love" and I don't believe in god, then I am incapable of love. That's one thing the Americans have down, the whole no religion in the schools is a DAMN good idea.

[Angels&Absinthe]

Incapable of love, huh? My school doesn't go that far. We actually have many religions in our school now, since it would be discriminatory to deny other religions, but of course, the Catholic values are stressed and we have mass and religion class etc. Our religion classes are very openminded though, if thats what happens in other places! I don't mind Catholics as long as they arent fanatics. This one girl (who totally digusted me) told me not to say 'Lucifer' (I was telling someone how the name meant 'enlightened', and isn't it strange that the bible always seems to portray knowledge negatively). The teachers I've had haven't been too rabid though. Then again, they think I'm Catholic too.
