D.I.Y! Y? Because we want to!

So here's something you might not know about me. I heart crafts.  I like psychotically love crafts.  I'm one of those obnoxious people that looks at stuff in trendy stores, rolls my eyes and says "I could make that myself".

I know, it's super gross.  But, if you're completely honest, don't you secretly want to scoff at things in Urban Outfitters too?  Thought so!

Well welcome to an ALL DIY LINKS! Time to make your friends jealous and/or make people a bunch of gifts that they will graciously pretend they like because you made it so they have to (oh the power we DIY'ers have)

Let's start this off with a woman who is my personal style hero: Paloma Faith! Faith's music is amazing and her style is so balls to the wall bizarre that I've wrecked many a glue gun trying to make my own versions. (What Renee Made)

Boop! Here Comes Monday Again

Well, this is odd, but kinda neat, too, if you're a fan of "Parks and Recreation."  Nick Offerman is putting his famous mustache up for auction for charity.  That's right, you can own Ron Swanson's actual mustache!  (Vulture)

On Friday, I shared with you a video of Lauren Conrad hacking apart some books to make a stylish box.  The books she destroyed were from the popular "Series of Unfortunate Events" line by Lemony Snicket.  Here, Mr. Snicket himself responds to Conrad's horrific actions.  Well played, sir.  Well played.  (Slate)

Can't Think, Cuteness Has Melted My Brain

I can't even think clearly enough right now to write anything, because that photo of Baby Goose and that puppy is so ridiculously adorable. I need a minute.

Oh, forget it, just enjoy the links while I sit and giggle at the expressions on their faces.

Wondrous internet, you have blessed us with your endless bounty of Ryan Gosling memes.  In case you missed them, The Daily Beast has rounded up the 10 Best Gosling memes.  (The Daily Beast)

Yep, that's Ryan Gosling in pancake form.  It's amazing what will appear when you type "Sexy Man Pancakes" into a Google image search.  Ahem, please enjoy your Thursday links, won't you?

I howled from the beginning of this series of Robert Downey Jr. pinups photos to the end.  You will, too.  I just know it.  (Octupus' Garden)

It doesn't matter how lame your party is if you've got mad photoshop skillz.  (Holiday Party 2011 - imgur)

Nicolas Cage makes movies.  Lots and lots of movies.  One blogger decided to rank Cage's movies, from best to worst, using a few choice statistics.  Check out the results.  (HubPages)

We're Baaaaack! You Know You Missed Us

You may have noticed yesterday that most of the internet was blacked out, including us, to protest SOPA and PIPA. Probably the best blackout page was this one by The Oatmeal. (The Oatmeal)

It seems that yesterday's blackouts either coincided with or caused 18 new senators to oppose SOPA and PIPA. (Business Insider)

I've never had Pinkberry, but I saw that commercial for some credit card that the owners did. Now I'll probably never have Pinkberry, pending the innocence or guilt of charges he beat someone with a tire iron over a tattoo. (Los Angeles Times)

Sweet Lord, the severed head, hands and feet of a possibly Armenian man were found near the Hollywood sign. (The Hollywood Reporter)

Hump Day List: Some Men That We Would Do Just Really Filthy Things To

Pinky and The Ladies of Hot Ink

Perhaps you had gleaned this little factoid from my bio on the contributor page, but I really like John Krasinski. A LOT. I have a difficult time watching episodes of The Office where people are mean to Jim, because Krasinski's sad face just breaks my insane little heart.

I have had a crush on Krasinski ever since I watched my first episode of The Office, which happened to be "Christmas Party". I immediately set about watching more episodes and bought all of the seasons until recently.

I don't want to talk about it. Ahem.

I would likely follow that man wherever he wanted me to go. You know, in a purely Freebie List, hypothetical, actually-I'm-totally-serious way. Is it his sense of humor? Yes. That body? Holy Godtopussy, YES. He is sexy. So sexy to me. I would do just wonderful, terrible things with that man. He is my number one (and sometimes number five) on my Freebie List. Always.

But what about some of the other Ladies here? Who really melts their panties?

Hot Links: I Love Ryan Gosling More Than You Do

Kolby

Good afternoon, friends.  I could start off today's links by gushing over how incredibly crazetacular last night's episode of Revenge was, but instead I'll gush over my future husband (not yours), Ryan Gosling.  Look at him.  JUST LOOK AT HIM.

Sometimes, I can't even handle those eyes, which is why I'm ever so grateful to friend and commenter Katie for bringing this particular link to my attention today.  Read it and probably weep. (HelloGiggles)

I just stumbled upon this website, and to say I'm intrigued by its potential would be the understatement of the year.  Yeah, we're only four days in, but still...The emmereffing Storyverse???  Sign me up.  (Small Demons)

It's been a long time since I've had to take a test, but I remember blanking on my share of answers, especially on Calculus exams.  I wish I had been as creative as these fools.  (Voiceable)

Pinky's Brain Has Broken: Enjoy These Pictures of Hot Men

Pinky McLadybits

You know what I like? Besides that. Well, yeah but not what I was thinking of this time. I like pictures of stuff. So, here are photos of the men that make the Ladies of Hot Ink tingly. In a good way.

Hot Links: Tits...and an Ass

Kolby

Apparently any ol' douchebag with oily hair and a Kardashian meal ticket can be a dad....twice. Congratulations, world!!!

Rest in peace, Patrice O'Neal. You made me laugh, and not just on those VH1 nostlagia specials (though I really do love the 80s).

If you're having trouble finding that perfect toy for the youngster in your life, or if you truly enjoy punching out enemy shoppers because you just have to purchase the MOST popular gift, then Squidoo has got the list for you.

Turns out some electric cars may catch fire if you're not careful with how much electricity you inject into their batteries. Anyone else feel like making out with a gas pump right now?
