These are the real problems facing geeky 23 year old women in today's world

I have a problem that I don’t like to admit to people, because they think I’m fucking weird. Either that or they think it’s sexy, but mostly they think it’s weird and I don’t enjoy getting looks that say – ‘why are you spending money on dress-up things when you’re 23?!’ just saying. But in the interest of full disclosure, I have a costuming problem. Call it cosplaying, call it dressing up, call it whatever the fuck you want, but close to half of my closet if full of pieces of clothing that are intended for costuming purposes only. I’m fucking serious about it – my costumes have to look perfect if they’re from a movie, and I typically don’t settle for cheap things when I’m buying materials. &&& I wonder why I’m poor. I know, I know, I know…

I use Halloween as an excuse, but more than that, I use comic cons as my main reason for costuming so much. Do you know how sad I am that I’m not going to New York Comic Con this year – about as sad as I was when I didn’t get that three day pass to Wizard World Philly. I know, I have serious white girl problems that I’m dealing with here, but now where am I going to wear my Slave Leia costume?!? Not to work for Halloween, because I’d probably get fired – although I may bring back Silk Spectre for the occasion. What are they going to say, I’m sorry your shorts are too short? Oh wait, they’ve already done that to me, so I guess it won’t really matter – they should be expecting it, because apparently no one working at Fulton Bank knows what fashion is! Okay okay, but back to the costume rant. I’m seriously, I need a second closet for all of the shit that I have and it needs to be Halloween every other weekend, because when else am I going to wear three different Alice In Wonderland costumes?? (shhh, I like Alice, what can I say?)  

But for real, I need to find somewhere good to go for Halloween this year – last year Manayunk Brewery was okay, but I feel like people were just kind of beat there. So suggestions, please, because I have no friends, and my cats don’t even like me anymore, so my life is pretty much a mess.
