Alternative Lifestyle choices.
 

I don't... own any non-black clothing. >_>

I used to wear a trench coat, but I eventually got sick of security guards staring at me. :p

But, yeah, I wear lots of typically "gothic" clothing, I'm rather fond of Demonia boots. I'd paint my nails black, but the last time I tried that my dad threatened to evict me. :p

I used to dye my hair black, but the medication I'm on now makes my hair very prone to breaking and falling out, so I stopped out of not wanting to damage it.

Well, he doesn't approve of long hair, pendants, gloves, rings on every finger, multiple wristbands, etc, either, but it's the nail polish that's the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. :p

Well, he's relatively, um, traditional when it comes to such things.

Does it make it clearer if I note that I'm male?

-thinks about a certain all-black-plus-silver outfit some time ago-

It's not even close to being eccentric in terms of what normal people wear, but my school's pretty conservative, so...

...yeah, my counselor raised an eyebrow and called it "edgy".

Suze, in my school, guys can't grow out their hair past a polo shirt collar >.>

I'm guessing a private school with all sorts of pretentious regulations and a tuition to match.

How close am I, Espy? :p

A Catholic private school with all sorts of pretentious regulations and a tuition to match.

EDIT: Just realized I'm wearing the same shirt and pants, minus the accessories.

I can't believe how closed mind some people are. Who cares what people want to wear? If it makes them comfortable, and they want to wear it, then let them ; ___ ;
My Mum is getting used to me doing more of what I want to do - but certain things she puts her foot down on; e.g. I'm not allowed to dye my hair blue (which is dumb, because she's letting me dye in lilac later trololol) and I'm not allowed to get my lip pierced, yet I'm allowed to get my nose pierced. She's weird on really silly things like that. She gets upset when I wear too much black or grey, or don't buy enough colours.
But then she's a lot more accepting than most parents, soo I'm not too concerned. o.o


@Espy;
Oh god, Catholic schools. *shudder*

TBH, I'd wear a black trenchcoat...or any dark-colored trechcoat...if my height'd permit it. I've always wanted a trenchcoat. -sobs-

...Screw the weather. I'm gonna have to steal Suze's not-worn trenchcoat...although I'm sure he's way, way taller than me.

Actually, my friends kind of forced me into another friend's trenchcoat. That was interesting...I looked rather like Xion from KH.

When I was younger (when I and others thought I was a boy) I'd still play with dolls and wear fingernail polish. Stopped for a while thanks to peer pressure but of course now I live as a girl so...I really can't accept that people don't want to see that everyone has different wants and desires. Of course rejection by family makes things the worst :/

Why not get like a 3/4s coat then, Espy?

Or was that just hypothetical musing? :p

I think Espy would look great in a trenchcoat. Just saying.

I'd say that a lot of people are too concerned with appearances.

Edit: Aww, sorry to hear that MayChan. Weather interferes with methods of dress too much sometimes.

Because I already have one that my mom bought for me and that I absolutely refuse to wear until I go to Carnegie because...uh...

...

Have you seen the fit on women's coats?! -hurls- Auuuugh. Why can't I just get straight, not-sightly-form-fitting clothes? -growls- I'd much, MUCH rather wear a guy's dress shirt than a girl's; not everyone has boobs that fill the whole damn shirt.

I rarely ever wear shorts. When I do, it's baggy knee-length shorts plus a black short-sleeved hoodie.

...Those shorts are actually from my highschool and not supposed to be loose and baggy.

Oh yes Espy... -glares at form fitted shirts-

While they look nice if your form matches it, otherwise it just looks silly. I have one shirt that was given to me that I can't wear because my torso is too long...and the tighter part that's supposed to go under the breasts is about in the middle of mine x.x

On my usual summer days, I'm wearing long black pants and a baggy t-shirt, most likely my AC shirt.

I love having an alternative lifestyle. It makes me unique and who I am whether it's personality or the look on the outside.

I'm an anime lover I buy the stuff that people goes "why?" like my anime badges and artworks people have made for me. I go to cons as a hangout way where I can meet my friends instead of going to the mall.

When I go to work I always have my "My little pony: friendship is Magic" Rarity badge on my panic button and kids love it. I'm known in my workplace and costumers in my store as me having blood red hair and I love it (other than the bleeding part in the shower).

sorry for my Alternative lifestyle rant *slowly walks away in embarrassment*

Echo-chan you are a brave soul for keeping the blood red hair. I had fire engine red for 4 or 5 months and to this day my bathtub still has red spots (I even used color removers and bleach QQ).

and on the clothing discussion: me in shorts. uhg. eeewe. thay make me so uncomfortable. and I have the Opposite problems with shirts Espy...I would wear a large but the melons stretch my shirts out to almost a XXL I have to get any shirt that doesn't stretch tailored. It is really dumb.

And when it comes to weather. I am petrified of the sun. It fatigues me really bad (I have various blood problems that I don't want to go into detail about) but the sun on my skin practically maked my blood boil. but thats ok the boyfriend buys me parcels owo

Parcels are awesome! I couldn't pull one off but for fun I'd like to stroll downtown with one hehe

I'm not brave enough to do alternative stuff like the gothic style, which I think looks cool. Actually not brave enough for a lot of things. I grew up pretty conservative and even though the household is no longer so traditionally strict I'm stuck in those ways pretty much. At least when I have kids (maybe) I'll be understanding...I hope.
