Y'know, I think I'm going to update this thing a bit more often. I don't know why, but for some reason reading another person's blog post (or lately, following people on Twitter) has been leading to me having much more inspiration to actually reach out on the webernets.
I feel like I've become a member of a bigger community.
Thank you, Fabulous Lorraine :3

Passive Income, Shitty Economy, Student Life...
This summer, more than any other summer, is going to be the busiest of my life. And I can honestly say that despite the speedbumps, I do look forward to it.
However, in preparation, I'm under pressure to make a lot of extra funds. I don't necessarily need them, but my family is doing that thing they do ever so well, and that's harping on me. Every day.
But that's not the topic of today's entry. Lately, the economy of the Great Lakes region has been craptastic, and it's remained so for a while. Unfortunately, this means that the job bank for my region only holds maybe a dozen jobs at most, and those go fast. I've heard stories of friends applying for over 100 jobs, and not getting a single phone call.
With the way my summer's going to be, with paperwork, medical visits, office visits and theatrical gigs, there is no point in me getting a job. But I'm not going to be lazy. I've resorted to various methods of passive income, one of them including trading website currency for USD, and small art commissions both on and offline of a website I volunteer for (love working for you, Den. lovelovelovelove it.)
The last of these, despite the doubts I had before, is paid to click advertising and promotional stuff.
In the interest of helping to fund my upcoming exchange to England, I'm going to actually post my referral banners here. Yes, every single website here is a pyramid scheme. However, you do not need to have 3503826205836427216109847 bajillion people sign up as your referees in order for their systems to work. I merely am interested in promoting the places I've learned to trust, and possibly help those of you who also have a crappy jobhunt make a little more cash over the summer.
Every site listed below uses PayPal as a cashout method, so no banking information gets collected from these sites. Be warned, it is not instantaneous. Some payments can take a day or two to process, and longer to accrue. But that shouldn't deter you. If you play the system right, (and I'll be writing about that in my next post ;D), you can make a fair bit in a short time. Anyway, on to the links. Below each one is going to be a brief summary of my favourite features and how their systems work.
Wordlinx - My personal favourite. Free to sign up, and you earn $0.005 or $0.01 per ad click. To get credit, just click the link that says 'remove frame' after the timer's up. There's usually about 8-10 ads per day, so it's not that bad. The minimum payout is $10, but there are bonuses around $3, $6, and $9 that help bring you to the limit quicker. Obviously, the more referrals you have the better, but it's not that hard to make a dollar or two within two to three weeks. Ad time ranges from 15-30 seconds, but I've seen less.
Incentria - Another close favourite. Cashout is at $2, and in order to redeem the credit for an ad, you click on upside down pictures. Minimum timing on the ads is 10 seconds (really not that bad) and then you move on to the next one. Credit ranges from $0.0001 up to about $0.001. Traffic exchanges are also available, and you can use the credit gained from those to promote your referral page and gain signups, or promote your own website into getting views. Another thing; for those of you who get a lot of traffic to begin with, you get $0.0001 for just having someone click on your referral link. You don't have to do anything.
Clicksia - Functions the exact same way as Incentria, so all the instructions above apply. Same values for everything.
PTC50 - A nice little pay-to-click site, providing ads to view, offers to sign up for credit, and traffic exchanging. Minimum cashout is $0.50, and referrals come in handy. They currently have an awesome deal going on where you can buy a guaranteed signup, 2 downline referrals, 500 paid-to-click credits, 500 traffic exchange credits, and 10,000 banner credits for $1 USD. Well worth it, I've bought 6 of them so far. Redemming credit for an ad involves clicking the right number, similar to Incentria and Clicksia. Ad time ranges from 10-30 seconds.
Clickite - Really good, especially with the low cashout value at $0.02. Beware, however, there is a fee for withdrawing. So while cashing out every 2 cents looks like a good idea, a little patience will pay reeeeeally well in the end. There's usually 30-40 ads to click per day, anywhere between $0.0001 and $0.0005 in value. That ads up if you keep up every day. Ad time ranges from 10-30 seconds.
MatrixMails - The banners were annoying, so I decided to not post them in order to save your eyes. You're welcome!
Earn anywhere between $0.005 and $0.01 per ad visited, and there's a timer with a flashing button at the top frame you click to get credit. You can also sign up through them for paid e-mails, which give you between $0.01 and $0.04, as well as sign up offers worth more. E-mail links automatically credit your account after the timer's up, so wait like, a minute while checking other e-mail or reading TFLN and then just close the frame. It's sweet. Ad time is 30 seconds.
PTC Wallet - Shown to me by a friend of mine, and I've gotta say, I like it. $0.10 per click, and a minimum cashout of $100. Takes a while (I've only ever been able to click 7 ads per day), but think of the happy you'll experience when you get that deposit in your PayPal account. Referrals obviously come in handy for this site as well. Ad time is 10 seconds.
Cashium - currently in pre-launch, so no earnings are gained, but if you sign up as a Discoverer you get $0.008 per click and then a certain amount of referral earnings. Cute little place, and there's a forum community right there to help you if you have problems. Viewing ads requires sliding an orange block into a green section of a line. Then the ad gets viewed, and voila! credit. Ad time is about 30 seconds.
That's pretty much it for what I have, so I hope you'll at least check them out, and if you're interested in a small little art commission once I get my Bamboo tablet just pop me a message somehow and we'll talk. ;D
Peace, Love and MarioKart

Bwahahahaha.
I'm everywhere lately, it would seem.
~Dexie
And now, I can be found on Google.
Just search the words "Poindextra" and "Honesty".
I dare you.
Anyway, it's been a while, I'm sorry. Stuff is happening, and things....I'M GOING TO ENGLAND OMG YAY.
Beyond that, um....I'm also now a part of The Infection, and apparently they like me. So woot. I plan on posting there sometime soon, if they allow me the honour to do so.
I plan on getting my dA back up and running.
Website's going quite well for just over a month old, go my little baby. < 3
Basically, I'm on my way to becoming famous.
AND IT FEELS GREAT.

Sigh
Don't you hate it when your gaming experience is ruined by people not shutting the fuck up while you're trying very hard to finish the game?
I do.
13 years after its release, I finally beat Final Fantasy VII after playing it for the first time ever (well second, if you consider the brief amount of time I spent playing it on my friend's PS2 before I got my own copy for the PSP, but the amount of plot I saw was negligible at best). But during almost the entire final cut scene, people decided it'd be cool to talk about trivia and tidbits while I'm trying to enjoy the music and immerse myself in that world.
And I love doing that. I love throwing myself completely into another world while the events of the cinema scenes unfold. It's amazing to me. And free.
But if people are talking, then I can't fully immerse myself because part of the reality I have to live in is still present. And it sucks.
I just wanted to say that. I think I'm going to finish games solo from now on, just to avoid bitching at people.
Peace, Love, and MarioKart

Femi-what?
Women in the current Western society are stupid.
No, really. They still bitch about women not having enough rights. Rights to do this, rights to do that. I don't think there's any more rights we can have without beginning to marginalise men more than they already are.
Don't get your panties in a bunch, bitches. I'm not saying YOU have to go back to being a subservient housewife who makes the bacon your man brings home. But if I want to do that, which I do, you better not dare get your knickers and underwire in a knot over it.
Feminism in the beginning was brilliant. We want to vote. We want to make decisions about our homes, and our children. We want the same pay, and the same job opportunities. See, those are ideals I can get behind. But that does not make me a feminist. Today, you see women going "OH MY GOD I HAVE TO DO SO MUCH SHIT TO LOOK PRETTY FOR MEN FUCKMYLIFE".
No, you don't.
You WANT to do so much shit to look pretty for the men in your life, but you're bitching because it's a lot of effort, expensive, and will wind you up in no better shape than you were before. If an employer doesn't hire you because you look like a slob, then it's not lawsuit-worthy. If a guy tells you you're not pretty enough, dump his ass and go back on the market for a lover. Don't bitch and complain that the media tells you you SHOULD behave/look/dress a certain way.
And before you even say the words 'Domestic Violence', let it be known that men have it so much worse. If a guy is being beat up by his abusive, adulterous wife, he's the one that gets in shit. If he gets a divorce from said abusive, adulterous wife, he also gets in shit. Because the women in this society will tell him that no matter what, he deserved it. And the judicial system is moving that way too. It's sad.
Men today have a ridiculous double standard thrown at them. If they're not having sex with every woman they meet, they're not manly enough. If they decide they want to save themselves, they're inexperienced and juvenile. Fuck that shit, I'd rather have my fiance tell me that I'm the only one he's with and cares about than know that he's fucking around. If women have to be so fucking pure and innocent, why do men have to be the exact damn opposite?
On behalf of my gender, guys, I'm sorry. We fucked up. I'll admit that so that the broomstick bitches in this world don't have to.

Sleeeeepyyyy~
Hee, Blogger kept me signed in. YAY.
So it's 4 am, and I'm still awake with a laptop on my legs. So what do I do? I write in my blog!
For some reason this kind of thing is entertaining to me. I sometimes get fun little ideas and think to myself "I want to write in my blog!"
But then by the time I get here I forget about it. I'm cool like that.
It's not even so much that I want internet popularity (I already have that from volunteer work on a massive message board), or want my views to be seen by EVERYONE EVERYWHERE (it's too much of a hassle and requires more extroversion than I know exists), I just like babbling somewhere.
But keeping diaries in OpenOffice isn't quite the same thing.
So I do this. And my random thoughts and babblings wind up in Google's cache for all to see. Yayyyyy~
It's not like I say anything incriminating. I'm not a closed book, and if anything I'm as close to a nun as a person could be without being catholic...Catholic? Am I supposed to capitalise the C?
Ooh, San Antonio's on TV. I went there :3
Yes, this is what my brain does when I'm tired. Shush.
What the crap is that bicycle/hang-glider/parasail lookin' thing? TV's showing me weird things again.
Oh, who here LOVED the opening ceremony of the Olympics? I did. Silly cauldron not deploying properly. Otherwise, that was some fantastic scenery.
The fish live. There are still five of them. I should change the water tomorrow.
....Today.
I think I'm done for now.
Peace, Love, and MarioKart.

Just Let Me Have This One.
I'm warning you now, this is going to be emo.
I feel like I'm slowly spiralling back into my own head, and falling face first into a pit of mortality. Everytime I think about someone I love or care about, one of the next immediate things in my mind is the sight of them dying. Or just the thought of them dying.
I miss my mom.
I miss my cat.
I miss my grandfather.
I have thought, and deeply considered quite a few times, just ending my life. It's so tempting. Having these nightmares and visions in my head, the blackouts, the lack of focus....I just want to leave this place.
I feel empty. Like I'm just floating on a sea of air. Dark air. I feel guilty all the time. For everything. For breathing, taking up space. Eating food. Wearing clothing.
Something is keeping me here, and it's stronger than my willpower. Sometimes, I'm not sure if I should be grateful for that or not.

Stupidity in Public....and getting away with it
There is a FANTASTIC advantage to being a drama student.
My Nature of Theatre class raided the student centre commons, and all in one fell swoop we froze in place, doing our own thing. People reacted in so many different ways, between freaking out, laughing, throwing paper at the friends of theirs that were frozen in place, and poking the frozen kids.
It was an exercise like that that makes this programme so damn awesome, to me. Because yes, science is cool. In fact, I think it's badass. But it's not for everyone. And all of the science students that are my friends think that me doing what I'm doing is equally hard, because of the amount of reading, physical work, and intuitive thinking that needs to be done.
Also, so many darn papers.
But still, learning about Dramatic Art is a wicked cool thing, because it's almost like it's a part of the framework for life itself.
One of the nifty things that the exercise did was make people think about what was going on in their own lives, because suddenly as they're all moving here are these kids that are stopped right in the middle of the room.
I guess basically what I'm trying to say is that Dramatic Art is useful on more than just an entertainment level. It can also affect people psychologically, philosophically, and even physically. Think about it.

Returning to Productivity
I deleted my facebook account last night.
I decided that the site does me more harm than good, because I find myself spying on people that I haven't spoken to in years, just so I can find out what's been going on in their life.
That's just creepy. So I'm stopping myself.
Not only that, I realised that the damn site just causes more drama than I can handle in my life right now, so I'm quitting while I'm ahead so that I don't end up making my life worse.
Getting rid of my facebook account was the first step I decided to make in trying to make my life better, and sort of ease the pressure of social networking from me while I recover from things I need to recover from. That way, I can just quiet down, talk to the people who help me the most, and stop worrying about other people's feelings about me.
That, and if I want to get a job they can't invade that privacy, because it no longer exists.
Furthermore, I couldn't help but laugh hysterically at how desperately Facebook clings to people. When I went to deactivate my account, the website shot straight for my guilt complex and asked "Are you sure you want to leave? All your friends will miss you." And proceeded to list 4 or 5 people's names followed by "will miss you."
Then, there's a list of reasons why you're leaving facebook that you can choose from.
Each and every single one has a pitiful response in order to attempt to keep you here.
Fucking.hilarious.
Suffice it to say, I want to keep quiet and lay low for a while, and getting rid of 155 people's ability to spy on me is probably one of the best steps to take first.
Power to anyone else who gives up that ghost with me.
Peace, Love, and MarioKart

Not only that, I realised that the damn site just causes more drama than I can handle in my life right now, so I'm quitting while I'm ahead so that I don't end up making my life worse.
Getting rid of my facebook account was the first step I decided to make in trying to make my life better, and sort of ease the pressure of social networking from me while I recover from things I need to recover from. That way, I can just quiet down, talk to the people who help me the most, and stop worrying about other people's feelings about me.
That, and if I want to get a job they can't invade that privacy, because it no longer exists.
Furthermore, I couldn't help but laugh hysterically at how desperately Facebook clings to people. When I went to deactivate my account, the website shot straight for my guilt complex and asked "Are you sure you want to leave? All your friends will miss you." And proceeded to list 4 or 5 people's names followed by "will miss you."
Then, there's a list of reasons why you're leaving facebook that you can choose from.
Each and every single one has a pitiful response in order to attempt to keep you here.
Fucking.hilarious.
Suffice it to say, I want to keep quiet and lay low for a while, and getting rid of 155 people's ability to spy on me is probably one of the best steps to take first.
Power to anyone else who gives up that ghost with me.
Peace, Love, and MarioKart
