hi everyone

I’m new here and hoping to make some friends and talk to some cool people. my username is possibility (there is a weird story behind why), so u can call me that, or M.

I like sewing, goth music and goth and alt fashion. I also love circuses and want to perform in one at some point (maybe if my a-levels go badly, lol)

hopefully there’s lots of people here who are looking to talk to new people, bc i also really love being around people and am always happy to listen to a rant about someone’s interests. I’ve found staying close to people difficult recently, so I’m pretty worries about the summer holidays since most of my friends are bad at staying in contact and organising meet-ups and i cope really badly alone

    Hi @Possibility0
    Great to have you here!
    You're definitely in the right place for a chat.
    Circus performing sounds interesting, I always loved going to see them when i was younger and thought doing the trapeze would be so cool.
    What would your circus act be?

    Hiya @Possibility0 welcome to the mix. As a fellow alt/goth appreciator (fellow elder goth/emo here), it's so cool to meet someone with similar interests. Eventhough I don't really do much sewing, I tend to do a lot of crochet and knitting but I would love to expand on learning how to sew and eventually make my own clothes. Also I love circuses as well they are so cool aren't they?. I'm a big fan of flamethrowing (though I'd probably be way too nervous to have a go lol 😂). I got like a circus colouring book which I need to also colour in at some point too. Also, I wonder what your favourite song is or favourite band/musician, I've been listening (had to correct my spelling then 🤣) to Type O Negative and also a lot of alt rock grunge ish music though I do love Bauhaus as well.

    I hope you are doing well this week.

    Big hugs,

    aaa I’ve been really bad at replying to messages recently and so many ppl have sent lovely things.

    in response to a few of them: my circus act is aerial silks and I’m planning to learn hoop (and juggling though currently i mostly just drop the balls😂)

    I’ve only really gotten into goth music in the last year or so, before that I just liked the aesthetic as a way of looking nice without feeling like i had to follow trends or would be closely criticised because it wasn’t mainstream. So mostly I’ve listened to the original goth bands. I love Siousxie and the banshees, bauhaus and sisters of mercy. I’d also like to find some good modern goth bands so @Amy22 I’d love to hear of any you have -I’ll also need to Type O Negative. It’s so cool to meet another goth who knows about this stuff

    Hopefully I’ll actually get into some of the discussion rooms this week. ty again for all the lovely commenrs

    That's so cool that your doing aerial, I wish I could do that but knowing me I would fall lol. The goth aesthetic is so interesting and amazing plus all of the different sub cultures and genres are cool too. I have listened to quite a bit of Siouxsie and the Banshees and Bahaus I love their song "Bela Lugosi" it's a great tune. I also heard Strawberry Switchblade are quite good too. I tend to navigate towards more grunge/emo/goth music as I'm technically in the alt scene ish.

    Hopefully I can join the discussion chats too as well when I'm not too busy.

    Hello M!

    Nice to meet you! Nice to meet a fellow Circus enjoyer! and the goth aesthetic? it sounds pretty interesting! I don't really listen to Goth music, but I've heard from a friend that the music is something I'd enjoy what songs would you recommend? Funny story, I've been called goth many times before because of the way I look and sound sometimes, even if it was unintentional, so in a way I guess I'm goth too in a way lol

    Don't sell yourself short! I'm sure your A levels will go well if you study hard enough you've got this! I feel ya though, I cope really bad alone too so if you ever want to talk when you feel alone, I'm here, I'm not on much, but I'll respond when I can!

    Hope you enjoy your time on our wonderful community, as the folks on here are really wonderful from the people I've met so far

    Take care
