Getting paid (or laid) online

Sidenote: Google adsense does pay! I've gotten a dollar and change transferred into my account already. Some sites with high traffic make a sizable income on this kind of thing. Now, if I could get paid to rewrite some of the ads, perhaps more people would check them out....

I may rearrange a few things coz I opened my blog today and saw an ad for dating Kenyan women who are 'desperate' for companionship (I won't even start...), then underneath was the blurb 'About me.' I find it kind of funny =) but I'd like to state for the record that there's no correlation between the two. There's something for everyone online. Personally, I'm looking to get paid, not laid.

Countdown: 5 days

Study, study, study....

I'm supposed to be working on papers right now, but I just had to take a quick break. I haven't hang out in blogland for a while because reading one interesting post always leads to 5 more. And I'm rather opinionated so it's hard to resist sharing my views. Every now and then I go back and read my old posts and people's replies. Sometimes I laugh but other times I think about deleting posts--especially the depressing ones. Haven't done it yet. Even though I'm anonymous, I can't resist but get a little self-conscious. Sometimes, I wonder what people who read my stuff think of me. Isn't it natural to portray the best of ourselves to the world? But then this is my space to express myself however I see fit. And having the cloak of anonymity is reassuring, kinda like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak. Yet, I did set some ground rules for myself--because I believe boundaries are important(think of "good fences make good neighbors")--I will not share information shared in confidence, go into details about work or family or personal relationships out of respect.

I can ramble on forever so I'd better go back to my paper. I'm on a 10 day countdown to the end of the sem =)
