Cloaks are great! Everyone looks good in a cloak. I'm wearing a cloak right now.

Yeah she was a witch then a gutter punk. She was like 4'11" and she would growl at people. What I've gathered from Facebook she's a pagan/racist who's obsessed with odinism(?) or whatever it's called. Healthy hobby for a 35 year old. Anyway afaict her life is a poo poo show and her kids are ugly.

did your school have any legit punks? elmer's glue spiked hair that stuck out a foot from their skulls, those weird mudflap things, jackets made from things jackets weren't supposed to be made of?




this guy, basically, only with less poo poo from hot topic because hot topic didn't exist

the last of those dudes graduated after my junior year; made me sad like the 90s had finally died.

there were punks my age and younger when I was in school. graduated in 04

they had really good parties, there was always a fight between two random punk kids

I try to be nice to everyone because really, even if they're weird, wear weird poo poo and smell bad, if they aren't hurting anyone than what's the point of being mean?
that's why I was always kind to Will.
after high school, probably about a year? He confessed his secret love to me over Facebook. I thanked him for his compliment and reminded him that I was (and still am) in a relationship. He had moved out of town so whatever.
One day I'm having lunch with a friend and my partner. we get our seat next to an empty table that someone is clearly sitting at, and who comes back from the washroom? Will. He asks if he can join us, he's there all by himself and we have an empty space. Totally an imposition and none of us want that but we're already sitting right beside him and the entire meal would be awkward to turn him away. So he sits with us and is goony as gently caress the entire meal. My friend and partner were in the middle of saying something when I heard Will remark that me guy and I seemed so happy and perfect (we had just been talking about how we bought our first house, our wedding was only a few weeks away etc) and then said how tragic it'd be if one of us died in a horrible car accident or something uhhh.
So it was a horrible lunch and we lied about where we were going after because he was totally going to try and bum a ride.
That's my trench coat kid story thank you for reading.

hahaha yeah we had some goofball who started out with dracula stuff, then it got more & more elaborate, a pilgrim (like the mayflower kind) and a sumo wrestler with a fat suit and a super realistic jesus with a crown of thorns and ancienty looking sandals he made from like, wood and leather strappy bits, the dean kept tryin to make him knock it off, sending him home and threatening him, finally she tred to make him sign a contract that he wouldn't wear costumes or else he'd be expelled and his parents actually hired a lawyer who sent some kind of nonsense legal threat that the school would be sued if they tried to violate his rights because apparently this was not only free speech but also freedom of religion because he had decided he was some nonsense fake religion that encouraged dressing up like a fuckin pilgrim and his parents happily supported his self exploration and the dean decided it was too much of a headache and he triumphantly came into school the next day dressed up as a cartoon satan with lil horns spirit gummed to his head and a pointy tail and a pitchfork with a doll head skewered on it that was supposed to be the dean, pretty ballsy imho

eventually 9/11 happened and he made a big stink about how amerca deserved it, which wasn't the smartest move at a school filled with the children of nypd and fdny ppl, buncha kids with dead dads beat the poo poo out of him and eventually he just stuck to eyeliner and black nail polish, because I suppose it was easier for some guy to remember "oh that's the mfer I need to kick the poo poo out of" when they spot you wearing a sombrero and poncho and big fake mustache

After high school he became an anarchist and moved to poland and was homeless and destitute, following his facebook posts every few months was pretty cool, pictures of him trying to cook cans of beans out in a junkyard and poo poo, now he's back in America and 30 years old and just enlisted in the navy

No, my school was paranoid of having a mass shooting and anyone wearing a cloak/trench coat would be immediately taken aside by our campus cop.

I just saw a man in his mid-20s dressed in a heavy duster jacket and a wide brim hat, mid-summer, with a plain overstretched tee shirt, lovely faded jeans and nasty old sneakers. It's something nerdy guys do that I never understood, in that they are clearly trying to affect some kind of bad mother fucker look but only commit to it in the most half-assed way possible.

I started reading the first Harry Dresden book on some pretty strong recommends. I was kinda sorta digging the tongue in cheek noir style. Until about like a third of the way through the book the main character describes himself as EXACTLY what the OP has written and I could not even remotely take the book seriously when I realized we were supposed to find this guy the height of bad-assery. I just could not get that kindred spirit fat wizard image out of my head and the main character's aloof behavior and poisonous attitude towards women just became this weird self diagnosed autistic man child's self aggrandizing story about impressing girls until they want him to kiss their boobs and casting spells on bad guys who have NO IDEA WHO THEY ARE MESSING WITH.

There is no way in gently caress I am reading the other 20 or so novels about that cock-smoking turbo-nerd unless Brad Neely does the audio book versions in the voice of Baby Cakes from the Professor Bros./ China IL

EDIT: By the way, I am not claiming superiority on this one. I have made my share of poor clothing choices.

Oh hey, that was me, the guy who wears size small t-shirts deciding that clearly XXL was the size I really needed to wear. I have no idea why. I jutlst did?

We had a robe girl at my school. It was black velour but I guess she didn't have black thread to sew it with because all the seams were red. It fit terribly and was poorly made, from what I remember. She also wore sandals all the time, even in winter.

I had a friend of a friend that would carry a briefcase to school instead of a backpack. All his notepads and stuff he would draw 8s all over, that he would call sideways infinities and somehow tie that into him being "the final solution." If he got bullied he would start rocking back and forth, muttering to himself like he was going "to turn into 8", his alter ego.

I was in some advanced art classes. I basically jumped from a basic art class to AP. As a weird sort of foil, a girl also jumped from basic art to AP with me, and she was basically my opposite. Back then i was struggling to feel anything without drugs or medication, and my art very much came from that place.

She was basically a slender short wood elf. She awas like 4'8, She was very outspoken and aloof in a way that I find irritating.

She DID IN FACT wear a cloak. I had a piece that was... I don't have it anymore so im going off memory but it was a dumb thing where the outside was this sort of tribal type of outsider art using solid black shapes, and that gave way to a honeycomb, and there was a very grotesque and deformed sort of queen bee in the middle aping the style of a cave painting except shittier.

But anyway the composition upset her so badly about half way through my presentation she started crying and she screamed a lecture at me about colony collapse disorder, and I was a little bit stoned since this class was after lunch, so i sort of laughed at her while she went on this tirade, and this made the whole class laugh at her. She ran out of the room crying and never showed up to that class again, turns out she transferrred to the next art class down the list. But yeah anyway I upset my school's cloak wearer so badly they quit art class, and another girl who was way more technically proficient and also kind of a bitch who didn't like her, bought my composition for $100 sight unseen as a token to remember the day that girl got ran out of class.

Terrible story but that's my story about my school's cloak wearing elf girl.
