Hi there!  I met a few folks at the Pop Up Goth Night memorial event for Troy last Friday.  Sadly I did not know Troy, but I saw the event on Facebook and wanted to support the fundraiser. I’m still trying to figure out this website.  I am a 40+ goth living in Westland.  I’m married and have a wonderful little girl.  I enjoy sewing, gardening, rock & mineral collecting, camping, hiking and dancing to dark music.  I spend most of my time on the dance floor when I go to goth bars.  I am a semi-regular at Small’s these days.  I would love to get more involved in meet ups outside of the goth bar, such as picnics, museum visits, going to the movies, etc.

Not sure how to answer the form, I’m still trying to figure this website out.  Answers below.

 Current location: Westland, MI;

Where From: moved a lot as a kid, but graduated from Wear Bloomfield;

Gender: female (she/her);

Work: geologist at an engineering firm;

School: bachelors from Eastern Michigan, masters from Bowling Green (ohio);

Kids : 1 girl (8 years old as of 2023);

Married: yes, since 2010;

Hobbies: sewing, gardening, rock and mineral collection, camping, hiking, biking, and dancing to dark music.   
 

I am old enough to get into City Club (40+)  although I prefer Small’s in Hamtramck. :) 

As to my DGN name…. I’m so bad at coming up with clever handles…. I’m a scientist and I’m a goth and my name is Megan…. Not very original. 
 

I learned about DGN at a memorial event for Troy.  T0RN ASUNDER invited me to the webpage (thanks Mike!)

 

photo for funsies.  I can’t figure out how to compress a photo to use as my profile picture

You shouldn't need to compress it, unless you mean crop.  If that's the case MS Paint (or whatever they call it now) should work fine.  You can also try Pant.net which has a free version (closed source though) and The GIMP which is completely free (both as in freedom and as in beer.)  Or I can do it for you.  In fact I'm going to.  I left the hair in, but I can crop it to just the face if you'd prefer that.  This took me literally like 30 seconds.

To set it as your profile photo, at the very top of the page on the left click the down arrow next to your name and select "Profile".  Then click the little round icon on the large avatar placeholder on the left.

Yep, that’s my favorite place to be :)

There's a chance we've met if you do Smalls, I've been a regular guest dj there since 2015 (aka, one of them takes a night off I fill in) and am there with my wife Marci pretty regularly even when not spinning :)

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
