Name: Michael (he/him)
Age: 48
Kids: Single Dad (of a non-binary neurodivergent teenager)
Location: Southwest USA

INTERESTS: Goth Rock, Darkwave, Industrial, hardcore Punk, New Wave, Thrash Metal, collecting vinyl, playing guitar & drums, being an awesome dad, road trips, abandoned places, educating myself, nonviolent protests, history, reading memoirs, horror films, dark humor, & running a non-profit. 

ABOUT ME: Ex-Christian cult member who's now against organized religion. I think Trump is disgusting and his sheep has made this country into a joke.  I enjoy monthly road trips to various places and I travel quite a bit. I run the local affiliate of a large non-profit thrift store and I play guitar daily as a hobby.  I am currently doing the RV life thing, but actively looking into property or a reasonable house.  I moved to Arizona two years ago after living many years in San Diego, which I miss dearly.  I am a single parent with a 14 year old son.  Open-minded liberal, lgbtq+ friendly, artist, and lacking many friends.

After recently walking away from livejournal, I am now seeking a community of awesome people here on DW. Interested?  Add me.

Music of the dark persuasion, grim-humoured and with a visceral twang, hello there! May I add you? My profile is a bit dusty and I still haven’t gotten around to posting that sticky, but hey. Days are only so long.

Hi. You sound great, I'm adding you!

[howsmyenglish]

Heeey, and look there, I've already added you some years ago. Didn't recognize your username right away, but thought this sounded familiar :D welcome back!

Hi from a fellow ex-Christian who hates Trump. I'm a trans guy, neurodivergent, and I do indeed like spooky shit, art and dark music.

Though I very rarely if ever talk about religion or politics here, I agree with you on both of those. I've wanted to do the RV life, it fascinates me, and is quite the contrast of my life on a 1800s farm. I'm also in my 40s, a sucker for decent dark humor and good memiors, and live in a 200+ year old house that had been abandoned for 30 years when I bought it. Add if ya'd like 😎

hello

[ihavenoarms]

hello adding you can see my sticky post for more take care

[pshaw_raven]

You sound interesting.
40s agender person here, I also don't post a ton about religion or politics, but I most definitely hate Drumpf and what he and his ilk have done to this country. And dealing with what I'm just now realizing was a fundamentalist upbringing. (I can be kind of slow on the draw.)

I listen to just about any kind of music out there, recently "dark academia," classical, and a lot of offbeat Americana and dark country. My musical tastes are all over the place.

I could read about that. *subs*

It looks like we might have some similar interests. Adding you.

I don't have a big About Me post done up yet, but I'll add some stuff below.

My posts are pretty basic, in all honesty. *lol*

I do loath tRump and all he is and am agnostic at best. So there is that.
I am estranged/have a very strained relationship with a lot of my family (for various reasons, but the most recent is their weird worship like love of the tRump monster), and so I don't really post about them much.
I do have some issues and anxieties that make it hard for me to be around people sometimes, but I try to interact as much as I can.

I do a lot of DIY around our place when I can, and love to plant things and watch them grow, and do different crafting projects.

We seem to like some of the same movies and tv. Although I'll be the first to admit that I lean toward watching WhatCulture Horror recaps instead of full horror films these days because the full films stick with me for far too long otherwise.😒

1) if your kid is nonbinary, they might not want to be called 'son'.

2) i also used to live in a christian cult and am now an atheist. So, uh, yeah. Im going to add you lol

[33rpm]

Yeah, I know my kid and I call him as he wishes to be called. If that changes next week, so will I.

[frenzy]

super sorry. i know you know your kid best. i tried to temper it with 'maybe' but it came out aggressive/wrong.

Added you! I am mid-40s, live in Seattle, love dark music, and looking to connect with interesting, like-minded/musical folks here.
