Smooth Operator
There is nothing more annoying than a smooth operator.
"Oh hello there. You're looking beautiful today." -says while checking the girl out- *insert eye roll here*
What I mean by "smooth operator", is the type of guy that knows how to "talk" to a girl (basically into anything) through ways of manipulation. And we've all come across those types of guys, right?
I've had my experience with men like this and can spot them out of the crowd quick. Their smooth-talk (now) doesn't phase me a bit and the only response they receive from me is some sort of sarcastic comeback.
Why am I bringing this up?
Because I am currently witnessing someone I LOVE falling into the trap of one of these smooth operators! There is nothing more irritating than standing on the sidelines while you watch your friend/family member/loved one fall to some bastard's grip.
I wish I could just grab her by the shoulders and say, "SNAP OUT OF IT! HE'S USING YOU!" But it's not my place to do so. Then my wild side wants to hunt this guy down, grab him by the balls, and threaten him to back off. But of course there's something called the law, boundaries, whatever! Pfffft.
I've always been one of those over-protective friends. I tend to have a caring nature. Plus! I was a victim once to a manipulator and was easily swayed by his candy-coated words. They're a dangerous sort of man and a girl has GOT to be observant and more aware! They present themselves in these pretty packages, somehow sharing interests in everything you are, when their underline motive is never anything good.
I hate being a female.

Love yourself!
Self-esteem can really sink down the crap hole at times for all of us, right?
And that's understandable! We hit our lows just as we hit our highs. Although what concerns me are people who are so low in their opinion of themselves, that they ultimately allow that low self-esteem to run their lives!
There's a young girl I work with, beautiful girl too. Blonde, light cat-shaped eyes, nice body shape, not much to complain about looks wise! Her self-esteem is so incredibly low, she feels the need to compete with any female she feels "threatened" by (either she feels they're prettier than her or more of an intellectual).
It saddens me because she has such potential! She's not only physically attractive, but she also has great intellect! I had to blog about this, because it's extremely disconcerting when you know someone who you genuinely like, but also can't stand. One day I would just like to walk into work, see her, and not feel like I'm being sized up or feel like I'm being lied to. (She's a habitual liar...another sad way of her seeking attention.)
If I talk to a male costumer, she's on my heels trying to win over his attention. (And very boisterous about it too! Using feminine wiles to gain...) In all honesty, I really couldn't care less. She can have them all! And the sad part is, men fall for it. Do they sincerely believe she's interested? Of course not. She wants to hear those, "You're so pretty! You're so sexy!" because it boosts whatever is left of her confidence.
No girl or guy should ever let their self-esteem effect their behavior. Because in the end, it ultimately effects relationships. I felt like I could have had a good friendship with her (she's a nerd just like me!) but that underline competition she has set up will never die and I can't stomach being involved.
Love yourself.
No one should ever have to rely on others for that. Every day look into the mirror and say, "I'm beautiful", "I'm successful", whatever it may be that brings up your self-esteem. Even if you don't believe it at first, you eventually will. Every single person is uniquely beautiful in their own ways.
Respect yourself. One should NEVER bring themselves down to a level that requires them to degrade themselves for praise.
For the time being, I will continue ignoring her attempts to draw me into future competitions with men. It's time I walk away and say goodbye to a once possible good friendship.

I attract douchebags
I always have and it seems I always will.
Guys complain a lot regarding girls going after the douchebags and dating crappy men that eventually hurt them in the end. And you know, I can't really blame them for feeling that way because let's face it...it happens a lot!
But what about us nice girls that would LOVE for a good guy to come on to us? I can't vouch for every girl out there, but I don't normally get good guys asking me out or showing a romantic interest. Which is sad in the end, because I've grown skeptical towards every guy looking for a date with me. 99% of the time, the guy turns out to be a douchebag looking for a cheap date or a one night stand. Now I just find it hard to believe it when a guy says, "You look beautiful." My initial thought response? "Nice try, keep walking." or "What do you want now?"
The sad part is, I might eventually turn away a good guy in fear he's using me for something because I'll become that mistrusting.
Unlike other girls, I won't give into the douchebags. I can spot one instantly on contact and he better not even try with me. So I remain single and I'm hoping that won't be a permanent thing. Cats can only fulfill so much in ones life! xD I don't want to become lonely...or a crazy cat lady. (I think that part might be too late...)
If you're a nice guy and reading this...and you have given up hope on finding a decent girl that isn't dating a douchebag, please don't. Because us girls are out there and we are looking/hoping you'll come along.
But think like a "douchebag"...he's aggressive, persistent, and won't give up till he gets what he wants. You have to be like that. Women aren't hard to understand. Sure we're different, because of personalities, but think of Edward from Twilight or Thor with Jane Foster. They fight for their woman, they protect her, and they ultimately love her. That's all women want. Not a shining knight, but a lover, supporter, and a friend. We want someone who will listen to us and care enough to make her the center of his world.

Comic Con 2013!
So, I don't know everything regarding this, but I do have some information about pre-registration for 2013.
It used to be set up with people lining up each year and spending half of the convention time waiting in line for tickets for next year. Seems like a big waste of time right? Well thank GOODNESS that was noticed so all pre-registration for 2013 will be exclusively online only. (So no one had to wait in a line this year.) whew!
Those attendees who get to pre-register for 2013 are only able to purchase up to 3 badges...and they can't purchase badges for anyone who DIDN'T get to go for 2012. Kind of sucks, huh? But I suppose it's fair.
How this is going to work is, everyone who went this year (whether they purchased a four day badge or a single day badge ONLY) will receive an email in August 2012 from Comic Con regarding a date when pre-registration begins. Another email will get sent out at a later date for others to sign up for Comic Con2013.I'm sure there is a lot more detailed information on their website and a contact number in case you have further questions that I can't answer.
If you need additional info or anything else regarding Comic Con, hit me up! whoot whoot! ;)

Never skinny, always curvy!
What's in? Ultra thin women! What am I? Definitely not one of them! I've always been curvy and I've accepted that years ago. I'll never reach a size 4 pants, unless you lock me in solitude or sew my mouth shut. But regardless, I do love maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Meaning, I enjoy eating the right types of foods! I better ....considering my future career relies on me telling OTHERS how to eat.
Now I have a weakness for sweet things....especially chocolate! O.o and I've been doing really great as far as keeping away from it. But I go into work and look what I find sitting on a table begging for my attention...
Small packets of candy in a bucket.....my mind is saying don't you freaken dare Lori walk away! My belly is saying, FEED ME!
And oh I walk away all right, feeling like a champ....until I open the fridge and see a box of pizza inside. Guess what I had for breakfast today?
Butt, thighs...we are bffs.

Introduction
Don't know who the heck I am? Check me out on YouTube!
Otherwise, stick around my blog and keep an eye out for awesome updates! My videos center around me just vlogging, acting incredibly stupid, doing some sort of review on some sort of nerdy subject, and occasionally tutorials on costume making/makeup ideas. I'm not the type that enjoys hearing herself talk or typing long ass novels while not responding to anyone out there who comments. So feel free to drop me a line, I will respond back as soon as I can, unless abducted by aliens or got side tracked by something shiny.
-- Love Lori
