When asked Pirate or Ninja,
I said Ninja…
But… I ended up getting a pirate costume for halloween. 
Getting a black petticoat instead of the pink one because they ran out.
The hat and undies come with.
even bought teh matching socks.
The costume below was the one I was originally going to get..
But upon trying it, as cute as it looked on me,
it was too constrictive because the dress is made out of non-stretch material
and probably would be uncomfortable if worn a whole night.
I feel like I’m being a hypocrite for not choosing the more ‘ninjaesque’ costume
So, I guess the question is..
Pirate, or Ninja?
Oh yeah, and any suggestions for a matching costume for my boyfriend?
Things we’ve thought of: ninja, jack sparrow, peter pan, hugh heffner, naruto characters [i vote kakashi]

“No offense,
but you look like a high-school student”
A first year said to me this morning… In otherwords, I look like a high school student to an 18 year old. I’m 23. Apparently these young kids all think I’m younger than they are.
…The question is, should I be happy or upset about this? Obviously, the kid was afraid of offending me, but personally, the comment put me in a pretty good mood.
=] I can’t wait until I’m 40 and someone says to me, “No offense, but you look like you’re in college”.
Getting Old
Haha. Speaking of getting old, I found a wrinkle on my face the other day and FREAKED OUT.
Only, turns out it was because I had slept the wrong way. It disappeared by the night.
Quasai recent prom picture of me and a friend [Derek].
The guy in the red in the background is my
boyfriend.
Don’t know why I was at the prom with Derek.
Do I really look like a high school kid???
And why am I still taking prom pictures?!
At 23, is it better to look too young for my age or older than my age?
At my last interview, my interviewer couldn’t look past my age even though I have about 10 years of experience in my field. However, should I really look forward to the day when I stop getting carded?
Do people generally mistake you for being older or younger than you actually are?

Self-evaluation:
It’s amazing how many people don’t ever really think about who they are as a person. And it’s amazing how many people can go through life with such a warped view of themselves.
I wonder if my view of myself is warped?
If so, I’m hoping I think of myself as a lot worse than I actually am. That way, I can’t be a disappointment to myself.
Bullying continued
As a follow up to yesterday, my middleschool/highschool friend commented this:
Proof positive that I’m not the only one who still remembers.
Some people have thanked me for introducing them to artists I like, so I decided to try out this Xanga Audio thing.
Do you think you view yourself as worse than, or better than you actually are?
In which way would you rather see yourself, if you had to choose one?

Question:
If a childhood bully tries to make nice to you, are you the smaller man if you avoid them?
Am I being childish by not wanting to reconcile with someone who made my life miserable so long ago?
After all, it HAS been about 10 years… Still, should my tormentors of the past have any claim to my life at all?

Dear Mr. Creepy Bum Man,
You: Creepy bum with a cardboard sign.
Me: Driving home from work, waiting at a red light.
It would have been enough for you to walk by me with your cardboard sign begging for money. Which, by the way, is highly misguided. NO ONE is going to give you money when you have a sign that says “VIET NAM VET” in Little Saigon. TRUST me on this one. I’m Vietnamese.
No, you didn’t stop there… You decided to not only walk to my car and stare into it while I was looking away… But decided to get off the sidewalk and hold your sign up to my window while saying something unintelligible at me through the window.
Maybe I looked like I couldn’t see the sign when you held it 5 feet further away. ON THE CURB.
Well, I just got home Mr. Creepy Bum Man, and I realized. Maybe I was wrong about you and should give you a second chance. I’m sure you have some great stories about ‘Nam, and are actually very well groomed under that smelly grimy-looking exterior.
So, next time you decide to walk up to my car, why don’t you just hop in and go for a ride with me! I welcome you Mr. Creepy Bum Man… We can have dinner and a movie even.
It’ll be fun.
BTW, remind me to lock my car doors from now on.
=D share your creepy stories!

I’m nicer to people I don’t like
and meaner to the people I do like…
Have
you ever noticed that it’s a lot easier to say really mean/nasty things
[in jest] to the people you love? And yet, it’s really hard to be that
same funny bitch to people you don’t like?
I attribute this phenomenon [at least my case] to two main reasons:
- If
I don’t really care about them, I probably don’t know them, this can be
dangerous I can’t tell if they’ll take me seriously. Some people are
really sensitive.
- If I say something mean, I might really mean it… in a mean way. [I said mean 3.. no, 4 times!]
Which, you know, kind of sucks for the people I DO love, because I can be a complete ass sometimes.
So I guess in this world of contradictions….
- If I’m nice to you, I probably don’t know you well enough.
- If I’m nice to you, I might not like you very much.
- If I’m ridiculously nice to you, I might not like you that much and am overcompensating.
- If I’m a bitch to you, you might be one of my best friends.
- If I’m a bitch to you, I might not like you that much.
To
be honest, I consider myself a person that likes pretty much everyone,
but that list makes it seem as if I dislike people more than I like
them. Not true. #1 is probably the way I approach most people.
So, here’s a question:
Is it fake to be nice to people you’re not sure you really like because you don’t want to cause waves?
Not
being nice to try to get ahead or gain anything — or even so that you
can make fun of them behind their backs, but just playing nice because
you don’t want to deal with the drama that would ensue if you decided
to speak your mind?
Or is it just as bad as the Plastics in Mean Girls?

Feeling Charitable? Donate!
JDRF: Junior Diabetes Research Foundation International
//EDIT: I will now also be walking in this walk! I’m going under my friend’s name, so if you want to walk with us let me know!!
A friend of mine is walking in the Walk to Cure Diabetes and asked me to promote her donation site! I know I ask you guys to donate and/or help me in these things often, but I’m a complete sucker for a good cause.
Click here to help find a cure for Diabetes!
If you can’t donate, copy paste this link to your site and have people pass it on!
Even if you can only spare 5 dollars, 10 dollars, do your good deed of the day!
A lot of people I know are affected by Diabetes, whether from their parents or if they have it themselves. It’s even more devastating when it occurs in children.
If you can’t donate, I don’t think it’s much to just copy the link and spread the word! Plus, won’t it make you feel a little good about yourself?
Let me know if you put up the link or donate! I’ll try to put up a list of people who participate
