First off, feel free to start interviewing now. Most places have a 1-2 month lag time between initial contact and the day you start the job.
Second, don't feel obligated to take the first job offer you get unless you're ok with drifting from job to job like some people are. It's better to have some focus about your career and doing what you enjoy. If they offer and you honestly don't think it's a good fit keep looking.
I have done this on a limited basis, but everyone wants me to start now and wants to pay me crap. I understand that I will have to start lower because of my lack of experience, but on the other hand, I didn't go to school (and pay for school) to start working for $9/hr from some small company. I have had multiple companies try to hire me on for less than I would make working at McD's - all because they are going to be 'paying me with experience'.
I think this sentiment is where you second note comes to play: I am not going to take these jobs :) I guess I will do what I've been doing and just keep my feelers out until the right thing comes along.
