1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

I hate the people who must get in front of everyone else while waiting for the train so they can jump on before the people exiting have even finished getting off. Or the people who push their way to the door of the train to get out first even though everyone else is getting off as well. What makes them think that I don’t want to get off/get on the train any less than they do?

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

I came across a website the other day that had pictures of celebrities with and without makeup. Wow what a difference it was! Some of them are so airbrushed for the cover of Cosmo it almost looks like a different person. The only person who looks very much the same in both with and without makeup pictures is Jessica Simpson who is naturally very beautiful and either doesn’t wear alot of makeup or wears very natural makeup.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

I’ve been feeling a little nauseous these past few days and I’m not sure why. It hasn’t kept me from doing anything and I haven’t actually been physically sick but I would prefer to feel better. I think it could be because I am overtired from my busy weekend and just need to catch up on some rest.

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

My boyfriend’s family just bought a little traditional English pub in rural England where they live and we travelled there for the opening this weekend. There was such alot of work to do and we all helped as much as we could to make the opening night a success. They worked so hard all day on Friday and it seemed at times things would never get finished but it all came together in the end and everyone had a great time.

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

I care very much about my friends and family and would do anything for them.

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

I wish that my idiot roommates would stop having parties until 5am all the time. It would be nice as well if they could stop breaking windows and the toilets every time as well. Oh yeah … and they could probably clean up after themselves … that would be nice too.

The past few days have been wonderful for me! There has been a large increase in traffic coming to this blog which I am surprised and impressed with and I hope it will be able to continue growing. I registered for Digg and that has been where most of my viewers have been coming from so I highly recommend using it yourself.

I’ve also begun a new blog in the hopes of making a little cash. Since this blog is more of a personal and fun blog for me I try to keep ads off of it as much as possible. My new blog, on the other hand, is full of them in the hopes that I will be able to make some cash with affiliate programs, reviews and the like. I am even thinking of starting a 3rd blog dedicated to making money online because alot of the profitable blogs that I have seen recently have that general sort of theme.

To view my new blog and help me out a little please click here girliegeek reviews … and feedback, tips, directions you could give me would be much appreciated as I’d like my chances for success to be as great as possible. Thanks :)

And lastly … I have mentioned on Monday that I would be having a job interview today and I am happy to report that I got the job :D

As I was sifting through various blogs today I came across this lovely gem and I am quite surprised I hadn’t seen it sooner. The newest addition to my Blogroll is

Ms. Latina Renee Enterprise, LLC

I have such a strong desire to try my hand at using the internet and blogging to my advantage. There are so many opportunities these days to do just that and this new find of mine must list a fair percentage of them. I intend to spend the rest of the day studying this blog and trying alot of these things out for myself. I’ve already read through quite a bit and I have a few questions that someone might be able to answer.

1. Should I start a new blog that would be devoted to making money online? This blog would continue to be my more personal outlet … whereas the new blog would be created for profit.

2. How long does it take for a payout?

3. How much would I expect this first payout to be?

4. Should I consider this to be a part time job of sorts? I would expect that I will be spending a significant amount of time with the initial set up of the blog itself and all affiliate accounts. But I am also assuming that regular posting (on the blog iteself and in other areas), and maintenance in general would also be semi time consuming. This is not something I am worried a great deal about because blogging is something I enjoy.

That’s all I can think of off the top of my head … I’m sure that more will come up however this will get the ball rolling for me. Gotta run … I’ve got alot of reading to do!

An unwillingness to forgive simple mistakes. Sometimes people make mistakes. Stupid mistakes. How is it so hard for some people to not see that and forgive? Holding a grudge against someone isn’t nice or healthy for either party.

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

100% money back guarantees … generally they are not.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

I came to England in November hoping to accomplish something, make some money and so on. I am much happier now than I was, I did get one fabulous job and make a tiny bit of cash, however I still feel as though I’ve done a whole lot of nothing so far. I’ve got 2 more months until I have to return to Canada for the summer and a job interview in 2 days … let’s see what I can do.

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

L33tz0r has work very hard on all aspects of the guild so far. Recruitment, raid leading, website and so much more. Good job doll face!

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

I’m quite a good and creative cook when I want to be. It’s all down to time and whether or not I can be bothered to do it haha! But when I do have a desire to make something good, it always turns out better than I expected.

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

I wish that I would get the job on Wednesday so that I’ll have some money to pay the bills!!

I’m a bad little blogger :( March 12, 2007

Oops … it’s been over a week since my last post!! Reason for this being a very busy WoW week. Sad I know but it’s true. L33tz0r, a few friends and I started a raiding guild which has been taking up quite a bit of our time. The setup part of the guild is what is so time consuming … once it’s all done we can relax.

Has been great so far. The guild’s focus is on level 70 end game raiding and our latest victim was Maiden of Virtue in Karazhan. I say “our” but I did not actually partake in this victory because I am currently leveling a shaman because the guild needs one *sigh*. I’m not overly thrilled at the loss of my level 70 DPS warrior but the shaman is fun so far and in 6 days played (in game) I have gotten her to level 42. Not too shabby.

We are still having some trouble getting a Teamspeak going. One of the guild members set one up for us but for some reason it’s not functioning properly. I haven’t actually had a look and tried it myself so I can’t even begin to say what the problem might be.

If you are interested in seeing the guild website it is here —-> Relentless
