Halloween Costumes: A slut for every season

"Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."
~Lindsay Lohan, Mean Girls

So I totally live by this rule. I am hardly a slutty girl, so i have a lot of fun being a total sex-pot on Halloween. In past years i have been Alice in Wonderland, Tinkerbell, and a Cat (multiple times). This year i decided on Navy Sailor (see costume on right). I think the costume is adorable but its a little bit big on me which is fine, that way i don't have to worry about my boobs falling out (which i probably will do anyways). Now I just have to find something to do for Halloween.

The Dreaded Job Hunt

So circumstances in my life have forced me back onto the job market. My graduate assistantship for last year was only a one-year grant contract. So even if my boss wanted to hire me again, she doesn't have the funds to do it. I was hoping to get a GA position with my department but due to budget cuts there they weren't able to offer me a position.

So i've known i needed a job since august (technically before then) but i hate job hunting. It's just the repetitiveness of it that makes me crazy. Plus, why is it when i ask if a place is hiring i get a 5 minute diatribe on it. It's a yes or no question, or a maybe (we're taking applications).

But having put it off for 2+ months I finally got started job hunting today by hitting up the local mall. I don't need a full-time job so i will work doing just about anything for money at this point. So i put in 6 applications today and will probably put in another 4-6 the rest of the week. Job hunting is a numbers game. It may take 50 applications to get 1 job, and it may only take 4. But you don't know until you try. Kinda like it took Elmer Fudd 500+ times to get that silly rabbit.

Luckily, a lot of stores are hiring seasonal people for Christmas, so maybe i'll get lucky and get hired on for that and they will just keep me. Otherwise i'm going to keep singing "Kill the Wabbit, Kill the Wabbit."

Maybe This Time...

So I don't talk about my love life a lot. This is mostly because there is a lack of anything happening with it. I am so wrapped in Grad School most of them time I forget that i am allowed to have a love life. That on top of the fact that I don't meet a lot of guys that i am interested in, or are interested in me. For years its been part of my self-esteem issue. I have never thought i was very pretty and slightly chubby. But recently i lost 12 pounds and found a few new guy friends who remind me every day that i am in fact- hot (although, sometimes i don't believe them).

But very recently i met a guy who i fell for, and i tried to talk myself out of it like a dozen times (a sure sign I like a guy). I mean he's funny, smart, cute, religious, loves his family, loves sports. I mean he's just about everything i'm looking for. And on top of it, I just love being around him. I always have so much more fun when he's around. And the feeling seemed to be mutual, I have never had a guy flirt with me that hard that quickly.

Then he dropped the "I'm Not Ready For A Relationship Card" on me.

Now for people who don't know, 90% of the time a guy uses that line what he really means is:

"I think you're hot and I'll sleep with you, but i am never going to date you. Its not that I'm not ready for a relationship, I just don't want one with you."

So needless to say i was kind of insulted. I have had that line used on me many times in the past, and i fell for it all of once before realizing what was going on. But after actually talk with this guy (a couple days later, when i was less pissed), I realized he was actually being sincere. While he may or may not want a relationship with me (who knows?), he actually is going through an existential crisis right now. He doesn't know what hes doing with his life and he's thinking about leaving the state. So while i want to be mad at him. I really can't be. Plus he's such a good friend, and i love being around him, so I'd hate to lose him. But I'm not going to be sleeping with him either.
