Drinking: Celebrity Juice

One of my guilty pleasures is definitely celebrity gossip and keeping up with their lives. Truthfully, I really wouldn’t give a rat’s ass, and I certainly wouldn’t recognize half of the celebs in the spotlight had I not discovered the beauty that is perez hilton.

My daily reads:

I think celebrities are a strange breed of being because WHAT IS WITH all the skeletons that roam the streets of Hollywood? I just don’t understand what gets in their heads, which I think I do believe it really is a mental issue because food tastes good. Anyone that can deny it enough to look like Nichole Richie has some serious issues. And I actually like the girl. What I know of her anyway.

I just don’t get it. Celebrities are weird, but they sure are fun to read about… mostly cos they make me feel good about myself.

Last night Paul, Kristen, Jake and I all piled up into Paul’s cousin’s car and went bowling. Lesley ended up showing up as well which always guarantees a good time. I’m pretty indifferent about bowling. Sometimes I hate it and sometimes I love it.

My grandparents were big bowlers and for that reason I hate it. They used to drag my brother and I to the very bowling alley we were at last night a few times a week. We would be stuck there until at least 2 or 3 am, and if I remember correctly I was in third or fourth grade. My grandfather would give us 2 dollars apiece to play games with and my brother usually spent his way before I did mine. He would play games in the “gameroom” and I usually bought candy or a coke… and tried to make my food last as long as possible.

The bowling alley wasn’t anything near what it used to be, not that it was originally much… but it seemed a lot livlier back then. The eating area where Eric and I used to sleep after we were broke and bored has been turned into some sort of kitchen area to make food that they don’t even serve.

An image that has been burned into my brain is being able to look out at the lanes and see my ugly, gargantuan, bitch of a grandmother watching us from across the bowling alley. I really, really hated her.

No… really.

It couldn’t get any sweeter

I’ve been blogging and writing on the internet for quite some time now and have always hoped that there would be a way to make a little extra money from the comfort of my own home.

Payperpost is a website that lets advertisers advertise on blogs by paying bloggers to write about their companies, products, or services. I can earn money from just about anywhere as long as I have a computer near by, and frankly that is almost always.

I’ve mentioned previously that I was very hesitant to join Payperpost, but I am glad I did. I’ve been signed up for a little over a month and to date I’ve received roughly $60 (with other payments underway). I think it is a great way to bring in a little money through your blog.

I think payperpost is something everyone should take advantage of.  Whether you blog a little or a lot, I feel payperpost is super rewarding. If only payperpost had been around back in the day!

The website itself is easy to navigate and totally makes sense. I was worried I would have a hard time catching on to the rules and the concept itself, but it all makes so much sense.
In conclusion I love payperpost because it is a legitimate, fair, and easy way to blog for earnings that are transferred straight into your paypal account.

Coffee in my pocket

I feel exhausted today. And really jittery, like I don’t know what to do with myself. I just ate lunch and I was hoping it would make me feel better, but not even halfway into it, I started to feel sick. So I stopped eating. I don’t know if it’s just my nerves or that No Doz. I took this morning. No, seriously.

It’s Wednesday and I think that means the Real World Las Vegas reunion comes on. Along with some stuff from Real World Denver. Yes, I admit, I actually enjoy this show. It’s about the only thing on MTV I watch anymore. Come to think of it the Real World has been the only show that I’ve had to see each week. I managed to catch every episode of the Real World Denver until the very last two episodes. How ridiculous is that? Oh well, not the end of the world.

I need TiVo.

PPP: greatest idea ever.

Payperpost is a word of mouth marketing website where advertisers pay bloggers to write about things such as companies, websites, products, etc. Bloggers actually get paid for doing something they enjoy.

It was hard for me to decide whether or not I wanted to join Payperpost, but I eventually went with it, gave it a little spin and sure enough, this weekend after a short trip I came home to my first set of payments (I managed to get $50 to date just testing it out…). That being said, I’ve decided that I am THRILLED with PPP.

Recently a new version of Payperpost, PPP Direct was released where advertisers contact bloggers about opportunities — cutting out the middleman previously needed to earn money for blogging. A 10% service fee is charged including PayPal fees while other sites like ReviewMe charge over 50%.

PPP Direct even has a convienent widget so that advertisers can easily pay with a credit card, avoiding long transaction times. Bloggers benefit as well considering all it takes is a widget… and I love widgets.

With PPP Direct your transactions are secure and every offer will show up in your year end tax statement from Payperpost.

I do not expect to make heaps of money through PPP because unless my google page rank skyrockets anytime soon, that would be a whole lot of blogging. I don’t think I’d like to get paid to burnout. No, thanks. I am happy though, and very excited. Every little bit helps. ☺
