Call me odd, strange, stupid, freak or any other label......I'll embrace them all.
2 comments Posted by Jess at 11:50 AMSo it seems as of late people have picked up a new hobby, being close minded.
Every single one of us is guilty of judging another person for whatever reason, but some people are just ridiculous. Hate to break it to you but you can't walk on water and the sun does not shine out of your ass!!!!! Not everyone is going to agree with your views, be what you think they should be and conform to what is "normal". I love the differences people have and the fact that "normal" is being redefined everyday. It's hard to be yourself and be vulnerable when you have people telling you your life is wrong. Just keep in mind no one made them judge and jury, so rock on however you express yourself and just be you, you will be loved for it.

My list of quirks, oddities and vulnerabilities:
1. I have an irrational fear of death, especially suffocation.
2. I have seen aliens and no one will ever be able to tell me otherwise. I can not watch them on TV or I will have a panic attack. The movie Signs is my nightmare.
3. I love my friends and family unconditionally. I worry about them constantly and their health. It makes me cry a lot.
4. I hope one day teleportation is a reality, cause I'm a horrible driver. It makes me insecure driving with my friends sometimes.
5. Some days I really, truly hate myself because of my appearance.

6. I don't always like my family. I feel extremely guilty about it, but we just don't see eye to eye
7. I own every color of Sharpie and they have to be in rainbow order.
8. I believe love is the most important thing there is.
9. I view my dog and cat as my children. I have thrown people out of my home to pushing my dog off my couch and slapped a girl for kicking at my cat.

10. I am more comfortable around males than females. Females are too judgemental of one another.
11. I am 29 years old and still don't feel like a grown up.
12. I have moments on major immaturity. Cupcakes always turn into weapons around me.
13. The pin in my neck that allows my head to rotate tilts at an angle, so my head sits kinda funny.
14. I get deja vu alot and sometimes it really scares me. The other night watching " Mob Wives" of all things I had it, from a dream I had 3 years ago. Everything was exactly how I had written it (I keep a dream journal, my shit gets weird sometimes.)
15. I believe in ghosts, but I don't think they are here to harm anyone.
16. Anything booger related will make me dry heave/vomit immediately.
17. Music is a huge thing for me.
18. I have horrible impulse control. My temper gets the better of me alot, but I am working on it and it has improved.
19. I have never lost a game of Scene it.
20. I sleep better when I hear a heartbeat or breathing near me.
21. I could hurt a person before I can hurt an animal.
22. I have supercrazy looking feet and they can punch people.
23. I'm alot stronger than I give myself credit for.
24. I'm a huge dork and love things like bowling, go carts and mini golf.
25. I am a complete film snob. I admit to judging others by the movie collections
26. I am a huge supporter of gay rights. I am not gay myself, but I feel some of the things that are done and said in regards to it being "wrong" are just ludicrous.
So that's me in a nutshell, it's not always fun or pretty but it's honest. Life isn't always bright and beautiful, it's grimy and twisted. But you have to take the good with the bad. I would hate to live in a cookie cutter, picket fence world, give me my dirt and rainbows any day :)

I love summer as much as the next guy, but this summer is kinda sucking the big one so far. It seems to be raining every other day, so when it's drizzling away outside, I have been turning into a TV junkie.
- I have been completely obsessed with True Blood since it premiered back in 2008. Highly entertaining and the cast isn't to hard on the eyes either.
 |
| Would not kick these men out of my bedroom |
- I know I have mentioned it before but 1 Girl 5 Gays still has my heart. I can not get enough of this show. If your not a close minded asshole check it out.
- From the first episode of Sons of Anarchy I was hooked. This show is gritty and sometimes the actions of some characters are horrid, but it really seems to be about the club and family, as twisted as it is.
- Dexter is your run of the mill forensics blood spatter expert also happens to be a serial killer of killers show. It's a laugh riot!!!! Seriously tho, it is a fantastic show with great acting and even better writing.
- I know it's horrible but I love crude, offensive humor. So it's only natural that I love the shit out of It's always sunny in Philadelphia. These characters are the most self centered, dim witted group of so called friends I have ever seen, and I love every tawdry minute of it.
- First off let me say I think Weeds is fabulous but I am less than thrilled with Nancy Botwin. The show is always interesting and entertaining, but I give the supporting characters credit for that. I wanna see what Andy, Doug and Silas are doing, not Nancy. She is an idiot who makes idiot choices and is selfish. But other than that I love the show.
- And lastly, my precious, precious Glee. I put off watching this show till the it came out of DVD, I thought it looks cheesy and didn't like all the hype it received. I was dead wrong. the show is witty, tongue in cheek, touching, funny and flat out awesome.
Well I'm off to light some fireworks and possibly blow my hand off. I strongly encourage you to check out these shows if you already haven't. And If you do and hate them??? Hate mail me.

I love things that look like something familiar, yet are actually completely different. Like a stick bug or a skort (ok, not so much a skort) but you get the idea. Well, this beautiful 4th of July I decided to do some trickery and freak everyone out, but with food. I present to a little thing I like to call:
Cupcake Illusions!!!!!!!
The fourth of July means picnics, patriotism and evil sparklers (step on a hot sparkler wire with bare feet then say they aren't evil!). Since I can't bake patriotism or fireworks (holy bad idea), I went with a picnic theme.

These little nibbles are so easy to create. I just used a yellow and a chocolate cake mix, canned white frosting, food color and a little creativity.
Bake the cupcakes as the box directs and wait for them to cool.
While they are baking, divide you frosting into 5 bowls and dye red, yellow, green, pink and black.
For the corn:
Using yellow icing in a pastry bag frost the some yellow cakes. Top with buttered popcorn and lemon drop Jelly Belly's. Stick with corn skewers for added cuteness.
Watermelons:
Using either flavor of cupcake, frost the outer edge of the cake with green icing. Next, using a star tip, pipe pink icing to fill the middle. Top with random black icing "seeds".
Burgers:
Slice yellow cakes in half to make buns. Cut the bottom off the chocolate cake for the burger patty.
Pipe green "lettuce" on bottom but, top with chocolate cake, pipe red "ketchup" and yellow "mustard" and top with remaining yellow cake. You can top with sugar to look like sesame seeds, but I forgot.
These are super cute and so simple to make it should be criminal.
A perfect picnic lunch!

My last post let it be known I was on the prowl for bright, almost neon eyeliner for summer. Well, that has not changed in the slightest, but I have had my heart stolen. I love attention getting eye looks, but not if it's due to my eyeliner melting and mascara running. So the combination of a long wear eyeliner in a fantastic color is an answer to my prayers and Jemma Kidd is my angel.
Jemma Kidd Make Up School Define: Stay Put Liner had to have been created in heaven. The name does not lie, it really does stay put. Like 10+ hours in 90 degree heat stay put. It is brilliant. The one I have is in the color Peacock, a deep, rich purple with a slight shimmer. It's dark enough to define but colorful enough to make my gray eyes pop.
I put this liner on at around noon and at midnight it was still going strong. My eyeshadow was long gone, but Peacock would not tap out. With its creamy consistency and easy application I thought the staying power would be lacking, I was completely wrong.

This is my first time using Jemma Kidd cosmetics and I am shocked at how perfect this product is. I will be checking out more items from the Romantic Revolution collection for sure.

The black cats eye is easily one of the most classic looks in make up. One little flick of the liner wand and boom! instant sex appeal. Often worn on screen by bombshells and flirty ingenues, it is purely iconic.
The black is timeless, but I want something more. So I got a few items from Mark cosmetics to try an remedy this situation. First up is Metalliner in Blue Chrome. A bright royal blue with a metallic sheen, this definitely gets your eyes noticed.
Next is another Metalliner in Quick Silver. I have used "silver" liners in the past that were pretty lack luster. They were either silver specks suspended in a clear base or severely lacking in pigmentation. This is not one of those liners. It is a straight up metallic, look at me silver. It reminds me of winter.
Get in Line liner in Deep Aqua is the stand out for me in this group. It is an intense turquoise with a gold shimmer. It reminds me of the saris worn by Indian women. Gorgeous, loving this for summer. The only drawback is it does stain the skin. Even using eye make up remover it sticks around for awhile.
Now, I know this is not a liner but it is an eye product so I'm tossing it in here. Scanda-Lash
in Indiglow has stolen my heart. I love purple hued mascaras, but most turn out being pretty weak. They more towards the plum/ burgundy side of things and that is just not for me. This color however is pure purple bliss. How could you not want to wear this??

I'm still going to keep hunting for a lime green, hot pink and whatever other punch you in your face colors I can come across. Until then I'll be thanking Mark for his wicked products and amazing summer ready eyes. THANKS MARK!!!!!

I have seen bits and pieces of the Swedish version of the film, but never read the books. This trailer has me really interested in them now tho. I'm also loving Trent Reznor's music, Karen O sounds fantastic.
#40 Quit a job I hate
So technically I quit this job almost a year ago, but it was so horrible I merit it list worthy.
Everyone has had one. We have all experienced it. Putting up with one is really a test in how much you can take. I'm talking about the co-worker from hell.
I worked in a pretty high stress setting, helping substance abusing adolescents, but I adored my job. The clients were fantastic and most of my co-workers were really awesome. That is until she blew into the building. We will call her "Snatchface".
Snatchface was under the impression that just because some messed up shit happened in her life, that gave her free reign to treat people like dirt. This woman was so over bearing and just plain nasty mean it took everything I had not to hit her in the face with a stapler.
Swingline of course, they make the biggest impact.
The environment of our work was always kinda chaotic but we managed. The purpose of our job was to help these kids, not treat them like the enemy or like they were at bootcamp. Well Snatchface thought otherwise. She got off on giving these kids a hard time and it made me sick every time it happened. For a year I just kept telling myself I was not going to let her drive me out of a job that I love. Well in the end I had to decide, walk away or face prison for serious assault.
I don't do well in a cage so I walked away. There I things I miss about the job everyday, but my sanity was more important. My hatred of this woman was consuming me and it wasn't healthy. I say hatred because that is the only way to describe it. She is easily the most vile person I have ever come in contact with and I wish nothing but horrible things for her. I know that sounds terrible but I'm being honest. If you have ever had a Snatchface in your life you know what I'm talking about.
I'll stop having my rage stroke now.
