Happy Halloween! I guess.

Halloween is supposed to be the American Holiday where everyone dresses up as someone they want to be, can't ever be, or want to make fun of, or as something to scare everyone else with. This holiday though I've noticed is meant more for children. If I were to walk door to door dressed as a princess or a witch begging for candy, I'd get some weird looks and be told that the candy was destine for children. So, in order to hold on to the magic of Halloween, adults throw costume parties.

I guess if I were invited to one of these costume parties... that might be fun, but I have no clue what I am doing tonight. I think that I'm hanging out with my boyfriend, and we might be going to a Halloween party, but otherwise our plans don't go any further than being in each other's presence. Things have gotten so complicated as an adult. As a kid, you always know that you are dressing up and going to get tons of candy and will spend the rest of the night dividing it amongst your monster and princess friends. When you're older and you're "free" it's so much more confusing. Of course, I definitely don't want to be a kid again. I just want being an adult to be simpler...

I would also like to publish my novels, be known as the next J.K. Rowling, become a millionaire, make my books into movies, and buy a whole new wonderful indie wardrobe...

Yeah... wish me luck.

I got a job :]

So I've been basically chewed out every other day for not living up to the true standards of adulthood, since I've been 18 for about 5 months. Although I go to a community college, I didn't pay for it. I don't have a license. I still live at home and it didn't seem like that was going to change any time soon. I'm still deciding what career path I want to choose. And, most importantly, I didn't have a job. The needing a job being the most important because money is the start of everything.

Well, guess what bitches! I have a job. After all those applications, and being turned down left and right, even by McDonalds!!! I got a REAL job, and it's my FIRST real job besides doing random temp and intern work. I work as a sales associate at Forever 21!! Which happens to be one of my favorite stores. I don't start till later this week, but damn am I excited. I already made friends with two of my coworkers who were hired and did orientation with me on the same day. They are Khina and Nikki.

One thing I'm most excited about is that besides paying rent to my parents which gives my room to me officially, I get to go SHOPPING! God, I miss shopping. I miss setting trends and being complimented on my outfits, but my wardrobe is so blehhh that it's a rare occasion if I do. Great, now I sound like some vain bimbo, but you see to me, fashion is an artform. What you wear is your personality, and if it isn't then you need to change. Fashion is the best way to get a good first impression in, and I have a feeling my interview outfit and my passion for Forever 21 was what got me the job, so you could say fashion saved the day.

I still have a lot more things on my to-do list of being an adult: get my driver's license, move out, think of a career path. Now that I work at Fo21 though I'm thinking maybe I will just work my way up into the fashion world. That way I'll be able to get money while writing my books on the side.

Oh, for those who don't know me, I'm an aspiring novelist. The best compliment I've had in a while was from my coworker Nikki after I told them I was a writer, she said, "You look like one, I was kind of guessing you would be one." It was definitely an awesome moment.

Another thing about being an adult is that I've been told I "need a life." Which, now that I have a job, maybe that will happen. I could never go anywher, because I could never afford it. I can also afford doing fun stuff with my boyfriend Michael. We're always so damn bored because there is nothing to do in our town that doesn't cost money, but now that we both have jobs (his is at Blockbuster :]) we can go do stuff!

Anywho, I have to go get my school ID... lol another adult-like thing I probably should have done a LOT sooner. I'm off being an adult! See ya!
