Had no idea what to make the thread title, judge me. So! I made an account a few weeks ago (I think?) but forgot about it, but now that I'm making an introduction, I'll be a little more inclined to come on more frequently. My name is Vincent, most people call me Vinny/Vinnie, but I'm always open to any nickname someone comes up with. I'm twenty-one, and have been out and open since I was fifteen. Right now I am a college student, getting ready to graduate in the next semester or so; I am getting my Liberal Arts out of the way, but I intend on majoring in either social work or hospitality when the time comes. I have been a hooper for almost two years now, and also make and sell my own hoops, though I never been to a music festival, let alone a real concert (if we're not including being at the 2002 SummerJam and leaving a half-hour into the start of the show.) I am a writer by trade, and mostly write short-stories, memoirs, and poetry. I also frequently write meditations; I am an indie INFJ Existentialist with a love for philosophy and humanity...and I also really love cats (have three of my own, along with five dogs and maybe 20% of Old McDonald's farm. :lol I decided to join EmptyClosets because I've had some specific questions and circumstances that I couldn't find the answers/advice for, and I enjoy online forums and connecting with/helping people from all walks of life. So hello! I'm looking forward to getting acquainted and making some new friends! (!)
Hi Vinnie, love your name! May I ask, what is a hooper? It sounds rather American to me, so that's probably why I have not the slightest idea of what it is (I'm in England!) That's brilliant you are a writer, I am too. It's such a great hobby Anyway, welcome, and I hope you find the answers you've been looking for!
Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone! @RAWR, a hooper is someone who dances with a hula-hoop! I'm not sure if it's become a thing over in the UK, but it's blown up here within the last year or so! (!) Woohoo! I love meeting more writers! Such a liberating passion! (*hug*)
