I hate not having a job.
Wait, clarification. I hate not having a source of income (which ties into my lack of a job).
I apply and apply and apply (and then get rejected, rejected, rejected for having too much experience or too little experience). It’s the catch 22 as no one wants to pay more for someone overqualified or they don’t want to take the time to train/risk the energy with someone underqualified (or maybe they just didn’t like me as an applicant)
I shouldn’t complain, I haven’t been at this whole job hunt thing for very long and I know there are people who have gone long stretches of times sans stable income and work, but still.
Right now, I wish I could just stay in bed, watch a couple reruns of Supernatural, watch a bit of the Olympics, and then check my email to find I’ve been offered an amazing job with fabulous benefits (*sigh* and while I’m dreaming, I could also go for a huge tub of ice cream where I tone muscle and drop fat).
/end whine. Off to keep searching for a proper job…

Childhood Redux
I feel like I’m nine years old right now.
Which is strange considering I just drove myself home after dark while: not using my hands to steer, texting, changing the songs on my ipod. Also because I am now legally an “adult.”
But honestly. I don’t think I’ve grown up very much.
Maybe this whole being an adult thing has made me want to stay a kid.
I want to retain my childhood for as long as possible, so I keep doing things that I did when I was little.
I’m playing Pokemon.
I’m watching Disney movies.
I’m eating Chef Boyardee for dinner.
I’m reliving my childhood ten years after it happened.
Maybe it’s the fear and the uncertainty of the future.
That could be driving me to want to go back to when things were simple and easy.
Or maybe it’s just that I need some time to be a kid again without all of the pressure of adulthood.
I’m not quite sure.
But am I ever?
Hopefully I’ll figure myself out sooner or later.
Maybe then I can get a grip on things.
But for now,
I’m going to be a kid.
I’m going to act the way I want and do the things I want because as an adult, I can make my own decisions.
I’m just deciding to be a kid for a little while longer.

Evolving:Me
Haunting childhood illusions.For me not a single day goes by without thinking about them.As much as I enjoy my independence and the responsibilities that comes along with the adulthood,I miss the child in me.The more and more I am exposed to this unfair life,I strongly yearn for my lost innocence.
The most daunting realization is about the “mortality” factor that’s hidden in everything ranging from relationships to our human bodies ,its hard and yet I strive to accept and make peace with it.But then its heart wrenching to erase the “fairy land” I had drawn within, where no one had a reason to cry.
For a kid, love is all about – a warm smile,a gentle hug (also may be along with a “Cadbury’s Dairy Milk” bar).Believed that there is no barrier in giving/receiving love. Then the “knowledge” about how complicated the human minds can get with respect to religion,caste,social status and geographical boundaries – made me aware that “love” is not as simple as it sounds.I have also turned to be a careful person and gauge people in all possible scales as taught.But,there are times when I simply wanted to trust people in spite of all my creeping doubts,I think about about my gone ignorance.
when I was eight,the day, when I came to know about my playmate’s mother’s death at our native town ,was shattered,cared and cried for the uncertainty that lingered in my friend’s future.Over years as my horizon increased,I developed indifference and also lost track of my friend.when the news channels show children/women weeping or when I read about bombings and killings,I shamelessly change the channel or skip the news.When did I drop my concern over others turbulent lives?May be when I was told that, I am too “dramatic” and have to “move on”.
Those days when I accompanied my grandma to the nearest temple at least 2 times a day ,she fed me with all beliefs of vaishnavism.I did believe that “God”-a superman is up there who is watching us all down here and I did believe that he would come down to kill the demons.
Also assumed that honest,sincere,hardworking and loving people will never be tested.The superman is yet to show up.Now,I re-hear those superman stories when mom tells my niece,but I am not stopping my mom!.I am convinced with the “rational” me ,but I do miss the “spiritual blindness” in me which fantasized the superman and never had any questions about his powers.
With all the resilience I have developed I do search for the last bit of naivety left in me to dance in my dreams as a child.Nowhere to be found,because I am a “grown-up” as the world expects…

Buying Adult Toys Discreetly Is Easier Than Ever
If you’ve never tried out adult toys or special lingerie before, chances are that you’re a bit reticent due to feeling awkward or embarrassed. This is perfectly natural; most women feel the same way. This phenomenon is largely behind the meteoric rise in popularity of adult party plans. Such get togethers are wonderful ways to dip your toe into the world of adult toys – without having to take the entire plunge.
Want To Give It A Try? Attend A Lingerie Party
Chances are, you know at least a few people who have attended a lingerie or adult toy party at one time or another. In fact, you may even already know somebody who attends them regularly. As popular as they have become, it’s certainly not difficult finding one to attend. Why have they become so popular, though? Mostly because they allow a group of women to hang out and socialise, while having the opportunity to check out different types of lingerie and sex toys. The party atmosphere of these events make them perfect for those who have never really experienced such things before.
Check Out The Merchandise In Person
If you’ve never tried out a sex toy or tried on sexy lingerie before, ordering such things online can be problematic. After all, you really don’t have much of an idea about what to expect "in real life." At an adult toy party, though, you can see these items firsthand in order to gain a better feeling and understanding for what they are all about. Sitting amid a group of like-minded – and giggling – women can remove the awkwardness of the situation, allowing you to let loose and really familiarise yourself with such products.
Too Shy To Order Them In Person? No Problem!
As much fun as it may be to pass around various products during an adult toy or lingerie party, when it comes time to place an order some women draw the line and won’t do it. The embarrassment and reticence kick back in, and women end up leaving such parties empty-handed. If this sounds familiar, never fear: You can have your cake and eat it, too, by ordering the things that you liked the best online.
One of the most popular ways that many women obtain their sex toys and their lingerie is by attending parties, then ordering what they want upon returning home. This way, you don’t have to place an order with the hostess in front of all of your friends. Instead, you can get home, log on to a reputable website,
and pick out precisely what you want without a single other person having to know about it. In a few days, your merchandise will arrive on your doorstep; discreet packaging will prevent others from having a clue about what’s inside the carton.
Expand Your Horizons Today!
It’s easy to see why lingerie and sex toys have become so popular these days. Such products can breathe new excitement and life into a floundering relationship, or can simple add a bit of spice to a strong one. The embarrassment of using such products can be mitigated by attending a fun party and by ordering what you need from the comfort of your own home. If you’re curious, there’s absolutely no reason not to try them out today.
