The Moustache Lurks Tonite

booze & drugs... thats how we roll in the shire. look at what a classy fucking bitch i am. blogging with one hand.... sipping fucking merlot with the other. also a little high. we'll see how this goes.

so i got some stuff from target today, with the giftcard from my lovely sister.

domo tee shirt!! im not a huge fan of this whole hipster "moustache" trend of putting fucking staches on everything, but it works on domo because domo is fucking awesome. and i need a domo shirt. he's leaping! and yelling as always AHHHHHHHHHHH!

phone case that is actually probably impractical but its so cute and im getting a new phone tomorrow and i want my phone to have accessories and presents too.

nail polishes! ive been obsessed with nail polishes since i was 13. whenever we would go to elk river i would make my mom stop at maurices so i could get a new nail polish. i was always jealous of my friend jen because no matter how many i got she always had more than me! i was a very covetous child, ive always been a horrible person actually. anyways the obsession has continued and i always have my nails painted a bright or dark color. im always in search of "the new color," some idea i have in my mind and i can rarely find the exact color to match what im envisioning and i have to comparison shop a bunch of brands. its times like that i think i shouldve been an artist because there are so many things in my head im desperate to put out there. anyways i really like these new wet and wild fast dry polishes because of the interesting colors. the one on the bottom i got tonight, im loathe to tell you the name because its really stupid... "everybody loves Redmond." wtf. lets not name colors after terrible tv shows ok?? it looks rather corally in this pic but irl its red orange which is a color family ive been looking at for a while. its not *exactly* what i have in mind, im looking for more tomato-y red but still a touch orangish, but its very close and a super vibrant fun nail color. i got a new topcoat too [also ISO the perfect top coat to make my polish last, i have thin nails that bend so the polish flakes... working up to buying seche vite] so theyre super shiny.

i was at ye olde walsmart last night and they had just put out some awesome military/goth jewellery!! ive got no shame, i buy the cheap walmart shit and i think it looks awesome... yeah it looks a little cheap and teenybopperish but i think i make it work the way i mix it. plus goth shit is just how i roll no matter how cheap it is. and my brain is always like LOOK EARRINGS WITH A BUNCH OF SHIT ON THEM, LETS BUY EM!! im easy to please. i could never be a label whore.

totally dug this super heavy lock with a skull cameo on it. sorry this picture is SO SHITTY, i really hope when i get my new phone it takes better pictures. this one is out of focus all the time and the light always sucks.

 moi in the necklace. wearing my my favorite of my many cardigans [ive been a cardigan girl since 1998], a black and white striped with red jones new york one that i got at savers thrift store for like $9. it was a twinset but the tank it too small for me [DAMMIT, its cute too]. the shirt im wearing under it here looks fucked up because its a sleeveless dress, and yes ive got a bit of fat girl armpit overhang, but dammit i like this dress. its long and tiered, and super comfy cotton. i was wearing it over pants cuz its cold.

i really dig these earrings! super cute! i love skulls with bows. i should really get a girly skull tattoo sometime.

ok... heres another thing i feel fucking terrible about. i bought an ed hardy perfume. i really do abhorr all things ed hardy, as i am a genuinely tattooed person [i guess that makes sense and sounds really elitist... i mean i appriciate the tattoo as an art form, put a lot of thought into my tattoos and dont like things to be generic, and i consider it my "lifestyle" if that doesnt sound too ghey] and i think ed hardy is for posers who want to be "cool" without the commitment. but i guess thats what happens when a subculture goes mainstream, things get commericalized and you get the old school elitists who want to seperate themself from the n00b who can walk in off the street and just buy a tee shirt representing that subculture. its kind of sad but then again it goes hand in hand with public acceptance and its a price to pay for the ability that many [but not all] of us have to have a public service job while tattooed or peirced.

ANYWAYS sorry about the modculture rant... i could talk about that for days, also im high and a tad upset so feeling ranty. anyways i like the design on this bottle and ive been wanting to try an ed hardy fragrance without paying a high price. this travel spray bottle was only $12, compared to the $15 ive been procrastinating paying at Ulta for a roller ball fragrance. i do like the scent, its very fruity, but it smells a lot like the flirt!flirtatious fragrance i got around christmastime. i might go back and buy one of the other ed hardy varieties, they have a few and i wasnt sure the differences and the little bottles werent well labelled... as you can see on the package you cant tell what variety it is, i had to look online to see its Hearts & Daggers. with some checking on Fragrantica it looks like i might like Love & Luck more, some of the notes are pink pepper and bergamont, which is one of my favorite scents. bergamonts such a unique scent, spicy and fruity at the same time, and for some reason very tragically english to me, like the heroines in Waterhouse paintings. uggh im having weird rambling thoughts...

poppy the crazy old mountain hag cat, doin what she does best... lurkin. loomin. sneezing on the back of your neck.

thats all ive got tonight.... interesting events have occurred and that irl shit has called me away. keep it real.

Gumdrops for the Troops

Craperella. i have been sleeping at the most awkard times lately, like 9pm to 7am. what the fuck time is that to sleep? it goes against my nocturnal nature. so now im trying to write a blog about absolutely nothing.

in a fit of weirdness i shaved off two-thirds of my hair, and since it is currently four below im in need of way more hats. big hats. ridiculous hats. uber warm hats.

its a hoodie scarf hat! my mom got me this sweet little knit number for xmas.



and it has pompoms! poms have long been my obsession, ever since i found a scarf with huge white poms on the ends at Rue21, held them up to my ex boyfriends face and yelled "ITS INUYASHAS BALLS!!!" they still reminds me of fuzzy testes, in the most awesome way [now is probably a good time to clarify that i am NOT a furry].



of course i am never satisfied with just ONE new thing, so i went and bought my first totally bitchin trapper hat. for the last few years ive been on the fence about whether i want to buy one, and have been searching for one with a decidedly non-woodsy motif. and haha! hearts! i love me some hearts.



super cute, ne? i literally put it on the second i left Target [GIRLCRACK!], which ugh, im totally kicking myself over.... ok so i come up to the checkout with my basket of dollar zone stuffed animals and post its [GIRAFFE and ROBOT post its btw... target has taken a page right out of my brain and made lots of their vday stuff robot themed!! i need to put my tinfoil hat on], lint rollers and other shit i had to buy to make myself feel better for not finding Dollhouse season 1, and my gorgeous hat. the girl scanned everything, got to the hat at the bottom and said "is this yours?" and im like yessss... its in my basket, no? and shes like, are you buying it or is it your hat? and LIKE AN IDIOT I WAS LIKE "OH, IM BUYING IT." yes, i am too dumb to snag a free hat. quick on my feet, im not. but oh well, not like it wasnt worth whatever i paid for it.



kyooot. yes, i am vain and enjoy takin pictures of myself. the coat is from target also, about two years ago, and its one of my favorites. the brooch/medal is also from target, i got a bunch of them for like $2 on clearance and i love the way they make my coats look all fancy. also pictured somewhere in there is an iggy pop pin ive had FOREVER and treasure. i think i got it at urban outfitters when i was a little velvet goldminer in high school.



random: so on my street they tore out the Hooters and are almost done building st clouds first White Castle! im excited and a little afraid!! excited about more drunk drive thru options... afraid because Jackie, my best face-cramming buddy and burger addict, refuses to eat there with me for fear/pooping reasons. bad omen??? but you know i give everything a fair shot, so i am excited to try it... in fact i need to do a new burger tour and hit the Five Guys and the mysterious Best Burger Ever.

so the point of my story is that my friend Lynn made an amusing FB post noting that while the White Castle is fully built and looks almost done inside, they have yet to take down the Hooters sign. says Lynn: "I think it's going to be some sort of hybrid... White Hooters... Or Hooter Castle." i like white hooters as thats what i have and theyre quite lovely, and ive enjoyed quite a few white hooters in my day... but its not very inclusive. i do enjoy other types of hooters. all of which im guessing would be found at the HOOTER CASTLE, a magical place where all our dreams come true!!

now im going to be kind of disappointed when they just serve burgers.

im quite tempted to turn this into a foodblog post, as ive pretty much given up on my Nom Mitten blog. heres some foodie-type things.



i had the privelege of spending much of christmas day hanging out with my cousins 10 year old son Casey, who proudly showed me this totally fucking amazing gingerbread house he made. it was initally just a regular boring old gingerbread house, but part of the roof collapsed and the little fucking genius got out his army men and made it into this awesome fort under attack or something.



according to Caseys explaination, theres a gingerbread man inside and theyre trying to rescue him from terrorists.



i told him i was sending it to my friends and he wanted me to ask them what they thought of it on a scale of 1-10. my boo Luke confirmed that this gingerbread hovel goes up to 11. Casey also wanted me to post it on youtube [though its just pictures...?] and wanted to know "if the troops would like it." OMFG kids are the best. normally im like GAH CHILDREN but ive found i get along well with 3 year old girls [we both like kitties and food] and 10 year old boys [we both like blood and guts and superheroes]. 



ok i think ill spare you the pics of the fajitas i got from La Casita that came with a mysterious green sauce. maybe i will reactivate the foodblog. you know i love to talk about the shit i eat.

now for Good News!Bad News.



good news is one of my all time best boos Jackie is moving in with me sometime this month! i am super duper excited. it'll save both of us some money but the best part is we're going to have a super pimp pad and we're going to have some much fun! geeking out in our little mini-LAN area, sharing our wealth of movies and geeky tv shows, and of course eating lots of weird shit together. oh and hanging out with her insane cats, Oscar and Poppy. Oscar is a big gay retard and Poppy is a crazy old mountain hag cat. stay tuned for hijinks!

bad news is my other best boo Amy B's dad is in the hospital on life support for liver failure :'( my boo and i have had a great year reconnecting after not speaking for a while and it breaks my heart to see this happening to her. especially after Jackie just went through losing her dad this fall. why do bad things keep happening to my friends???? I HATE IT!! i wish there was something i can do. so everybody keep amy and her family in your prayers, even if you are a pagan heathen like me. LOVE YOU TOO MUCH, HUGS MY BESTICLE.

sorry to end on such a downer note. heres a parrot pouring creamer to make you feel better.

love you truly,

Jesika Lin
