Fun social distancing activity ideas for goths

I know 2020 has been challenging in some ways. I wanted to do a blog post on some fun social distancing activities you can do in isolation! My friends and I do have a small pod of the same people we hang with and we are very strict about that. I wouldn't recommend this unless you really trust eachother. Fortunately some of them are my room mates so we share germs and are always around and none of us have gotten sick. I do have a few friends that have been ill with corona but they live in different states and thankfully they have all recovered. I hope this gives you some ideas of fun things to do!

1. Read books

2. Be your own dj make playlists, dance like you are at a goth club. 

3. Online chat rooms with other goths.

4. Online dj groups, dance groups etc.

5. Make DIY sweaters

6. Walk your pets

7. DIY your own masks, clothes!

8. Have a movie marathon

9. Have a bakeoff

10. Have a virtual sleepover listen to some Cure and other fun goth bands that you like

11. Make a cd for your loved one.

12. diy gifts for your friends to send during holidays.

13. Find a new hobby: skating, learning guitar or other instruments etc.

14. Paint!!! draw have fun! 

15. watch a cool music documentary

16. Go to cemeteries have a picnic. Please pick up after yourself and make sure you wash hands.

17. Plan your cosplays for Halloween or just do a fun cosplay

18. Instead of going to beach with too many people go find remote spot to whale watch or dolphin watch.

19. Go to beaches and other fun places more in evenings. Less people usually depending on place.

20. SUPPORT local businesses! Mask up and go shopping if your shops are open or shop online!

I will be screening Hellraiser movies in October for my goth group. I can't wait. It should be fun. I am now the proud owner of at least two pin head shirts. I'm kind of addicted hehe. 

Frugal goth dress

I find quite a few cool gothic style pieces at stores like H&M. You can get a dress there for like ten dollars or less sometimes. I love that store. This lovely dress was about 9 dollars or so. 

Dreary Dearest

Portland is the perfect back drop for dark, gothic photo shoots. Love this city! It is perfectly overcast with a bit of sun and sometimes rain. It has not rained yet but I look forward to rain in the future.

Gothic Lolita Picnic

It was a very nice day today. Friends and I threw a Gothic Lolita picnic. It was a fun time and my husband made gourmet veggie sandwiches for everyone, which got eaten up very quickly! Lovely outfits and fun times. I brought a few gothic beauty magazines for others to read. My friends brought food, drinks and games, than we went to my place after to watch flicks. 

My friend gave us these bracelets as gifts :)

Coffee and Bookstores

I had a small meet up with friends at bookstore and cafe' early this Saturday. We had a lovely time. 

We stopped by candy shop after browsing around and got second iced coffees and chais.

Happy Halloween

This year my love and I went as Jack and Sally. I feel it was the perfect choice for us. My husband is very lanky and tall like Jack and I am pale with the red hair so it suited us well. I have always secretly wanted to be Sally of course. In tribute to brilliant Tim Burton Happy Halloween. I would love to see your costumes if any of you dressed up or plan to dress up. Cheers!
