Halloween

So yet again I need everyone's advice. I'm trying to plan out my halloween outfit. I'm dressing up with 2 other girls. Of course, a Halloween has to be sexy and since there is no school the next day, we can be wild! Haha! Of course if you have other ideas, just tell me on a comment.

A. The girls from Fanta. Like each of us wear a differant color from those commercials.

B. The doublemint twins +1- If you remember those commercials too. Like a green polo and a green miniskit with a white headband.

C. One of us is a policegirl and the other 2 are criminals.

...

So looking at the presidential poll I put up, it seems like McCain and Obama are super close. Obama has 4 votes and McCain has 3 votes. That's interesting, but I feel like this might actually be a good representaion of what the final polls will say. But who knows?

Heres a random Link:

Au Pair-ism

I was talking to my dad about how I love kids and how it would be soooo cool to be a nanny or something like that. He told me that there are these people called au pairs, and how I would probably like it. So you might already know about what they are, but I hadn't so whatever.

I love traveling, but I haven't been able to do a lot of it because it's so expensive! I'm also fascinated by how people from other cultures are so different. I also love kids.

So an au pair goes to a families' house, usually in another country. Then you stay for a short or long time. They pay you and give you food/housing. It sounds like a great gig, because you can see how ACTUAL life is instead of just hitting up the museums and other landmarks.

For the family, it's cool because instead of paying for some regular nanny, you get a foreign person, who can "culture" their children. A lot of people from non-english-speaking places want english-speaking nannies to speak english to their kids. Just imagine: the fact that you can read this blog can make you lotsa money and room and board.

So I'll definitely do that sometime.

Pretty simple but I'm interested

Just answer the question. If you pick other, write a comment. I just want to see what my readers actually think about these candidates. If you can't vote or you aren't from the USA, vote on who you would vote for if you could.

Breakfast at Tiffany's w/ Clara

So if you've actually read my previous posts, I wrote about how a one of my supposed friends who turned on me when she found me making out with her boyfriend. In any normal situation, this would be understandable. But HE didn't tell me he had a girlfriend, I honestly didn't know.

So anyways, we go to this breakfast place for quiches and tea to sort things out. I mean, it really wasn't my fault. I honestly did not know.

She initiated this meeting. I guess she and her boyfriend broke up because of some other stupid reason. So we go out to eat. It was going really well, we started talking small talk and getting more comfortable. Finally, as we are eating, she puts her fork down and was like "So why did you make out with my boyfriend" in a suprising loud tone. IT was pretty awkward

Heres how the conversation went.

Me: "I thought he was cute and he didn't tell me he had a girlfriend."

Clara: "How would you not know about him. I told you about him!"

Me: "No you didn't!"

Clara: "Yes I did! I have like 40 pictures of him and me together on facebook"

Me: "Sorry I don't facebook stalk you! Get over yourself"

Clara: "You're just a slut!"

After that, I left. I'm not a super aggressive person, but I seriously wanted to punch the girl in the face. I threw 5 bucks on the table and walked out. I'm still fuming. I feel like this friendship can not be recovered, which makes me sad. I mean, boys are like playthings, why not just share?

I'm sick :(

So I stayed home today from school because I'm super sick. I must have gotten some kind of flu because I'm super stuffy and gross. I guess its because yesterday night, my rich friend Elise had a pool party because her family is going to close it for the winter. It was really cold, and despite some flirty bearhugs to keep me warm from her hot younger brother (only one year younger- not creepy), I think I got sick.

But the positive is that her hot younger brother Will feels "responsible" and after school he's gonna come over and nurse me back to health. Haha, pretty much hes going to heat up some canned soup for me.

How to be flirty on facebook

So this post is geared toward people who have facebooks, but these same ideas can be expanded into other things like myspace, aim, and other forms of internet connections.

1. Friend request him. (duh!)If you have talked to him before, this is just an obvious step. The only time not to do this is if you haven't met him yet.

WHile it's cool to friend request random guys who you think are cute, DON'T do this with people you might actually meet. This is INCREDIBLY awkward.

2. Don't poke. Yeah, I know, poking is supposed to be flirty. Unless someone pokes you first, don't poke someone. It's kind of annoying and pretty weird. NOT how you want to flirt.

3. Post on his wall. Not something like "hey. whats up?" Thats easily forgettable and you might not get a response back. Ask some kind of question or if you have hung out just say "last night was sooooo fun. I can't believe you skinny dipped in that fountain!" (or whatever).

PS- Go by the 2 post rule. If you post one thing, and then another and he doesn't respond, don't post any more. Unless he doesn't go on facebook a lot. Then make it 3. You don't want to look desperate though.

4. Don't invite him to stupid groups (anything involving numbers or stupid stuff) Unless its taper made for him or whatever. Actually don't invite him to anything. You don't want him to think you're super annoying.

5. Overall don't be easy to get. Give shorter answers over longer answers. On wall posts, don't post for at least 8 hours unless its a pressing issue. If it's instant messeging, count to 10 to respond. Don't use perfect grammar/spelling/punctuation. Just make it informal and light. No deep conversations.

6. Always be the first one to leave. While instant messeging, say I have to go to dinner or even better, say that you have other plans. Make HIM work for you.

The Jonas Brothers

Yes, they are very attractive young men. Yes, they are talented. But I just don't understand their ridiculously strong appeal that has captured the hearts of pretty much all of my girl friends. 

I know I might get some crazy 12-year-0ld superfans give me a hard time about this article, but enough is enough. I need to put out my personal view on them.

First of all, the girls who are in love with them are generally about 8-17 years old. While baby-sitting some 11 year olds, I found out that they all knew every aspect of these guys' lives! I mean really, these guys are 15, 17 (idk about that one) and like 25. They probably aren't going to be as nice as the machine that created them wants you to think. 

I mean, other than him being hot, Joe Jonas, (the middle one in the pictures), just looks like a douche to me. I mean hes rich, famous, and has thousands of preteen girls throwing themselves at him. Do you really think he's a genuine, kind person just because in the annoyingly bright preteen magazines he gushes about true love and being nice? 

I do find them very attractive, but is it worth all the hype. I mean, girls are going CRAZY over them. It's kind of weird to think about the people behind them who are basically making 15-year-olds try to be sexy. 

Crush of the Day: Jeremy Sumpter

So does anyone else remember when they remade Peter Pan with real people in 2003? I was a tween back then and I had a total crush on the kid who played peter pan. But as I got older I guess I just kind of forgot about him; he hasn't exactly done much since.

But the great thing about tweens is soon they turn into teens, and I guess I didn't realize that while aged, so did Jeremy Sumpter. Now he's super hot!

How to do a cute side braid

So here's a new trendy hair-do that I was first pretty heisitant about, but now i think its doable: the braid.

With braids you have to be careful. Don't use coloured hair scrunchies or anything like that. I GUESS you could tie it with ribbon, but I'd recommend buying some really small black or clear ones.

Unless you are wearing an athletic outfit and are going for an athletic look, i think the double braid is a good thing to avoid. But wearing a pretty side braid is actually cute.

Here's apicture of Lauren Conrad, I really do like how she wears her hair. She always has nice hairstyles. 

So you want to part your hair on the side and start a french braid all the way to the other side. If you don't know how to french braid, I'd recommend looking online because I def. can't explain it very well. I think the side braid looks best if you put it up in a lowish ponytail, but you can wear it down if you wear it wavy.

Try it tomorrow! Just make sure to keep it pretty!

So its been a couple days

Sorry, I haven't forgotten about this blog, I'm just a little sick right now.

Why are we so easy on guys?

So a couple of days ago I hung out with an old friend at her house party. I met some of her friend, one's name was Clara and I had met her previously. We got along really well, we would facebook each other a lot.

But this night was differant. There were a couple of really cute guys plus the other girls. It was slightly awkward because I didn't know most of the people, but as the beers started flowing everyone got more comfortable. 

I drank in moderation, but some people got piss-drunk. My friend and all of her friends decided to take a walk. The only person left at her house was this really cute guy. He wasn't drinking excessively because he had acid reflux or something weird with his stomach. 

We pop in a movie and start to watch it. But he was REALLY cute so we start cuddling. Then I said the worst pickup line or whatever, but it totally worked. I was like "If I kissed you right now, your stomach wouldn't freak out right?". We start making out on my friends sofa right there. 

We hear everyone get back. But we were buzzed so we kept on making out. As soon as the friends come into the room I hear Clara yell, "Alicia! What the fuck are you doing!?!". The cute guy, whose name is Roger, pulls away and is like "Shit". Clara comes over pushes me and grabs Roger and takes him upstairs, where I guess she scolded him and then had sex with him. 

Now I get about 2 honesty box messages a day calling me a slut or a whore. Really? I wonder who that could be? Clara must think I'm pretty stupid to not figure that out.

This leads me to think, why are people so easy on guys. Now I'm a "slut", but Roger is still OK. Clara and Roger are still dating, while Clara full-out hates me. I know I initiated the kiss, but how was I supposed to know they were dating. Honestly, I blame the whole thing on Roger, he didn't tell me, but I get all the shit for it.

Post Secret of the day

Sorry its been so long since I've posted. Remember to still vote for your favorite outfit for me to wear!

So I have an honesty box on my facebook too. While I've gotten some really hurtful things, I do really like them. Once someone posted "when you wear too much eye makeup, by lunch it has spread across your face."

THANK YOU! I guess when I flirt and stuff in class I somehow smudge my makeup.

Help me choose an outfit!

So a guy who I went out with for about a week, but now we are friends with benefits, asked me to go to this fancy benefit for his father's company. So I have to wear something perfect and classy but still sexy because there will be other cute guys there too. I have some options.

Here are the dress choices. The benefit thing has to do with nordstroms and so that's the unofficial dress code.

I also have jewelry. Remember I have brown-blonde hair, blue eyes, and I'm pretty tan. So either vote or comment. In case you didn't notice, I labeled each shoe and dress.
