I logged in with my old paypal login and pass, just to see what I could see. According to pay pal, 2phatgeeks suggested pricing to advertisers to pay us to: put a link up? $1 To put a link up and 100 words? $1.50. To write 200 words and put an advertisers link up? $3
For this account here at live journal? Pay Per posts suggested pricing for advertisers to pay me to put up their link? $8. For a link and 100 words, $9, for a link and 200 words about $10.
:S Given the amount of money I could earn, I am thinking that if I take any offers to be an advertising whore, I am going to do that here. So I guess consider this a heads up in case you are curious about any new posts for glade fresh scents here?

slwatson dared me to write for Harry. While I didn't exactly do that, Harry IS in here. This takes place in my imaginary image of the Rhy'din docks. It is not edited and right from my brain to fingers so expect mistakes and stuff. ( Of Sails and Memories )
In other news, I'm pretty desperate for money to help pay these bills off A.S.A.P before we're screwed financially for the rest of our lives. I used to cringe when I saw people asking for money on the internet, and now I'm like, "wow you know not a bad idea dsdasadasdsa." Whoohoo, tune change!
Please consider Visiting my Triond Page(link to my Trion Profile), clicking the links to articles and images and sharing them with your friends and family. Every time someone views my stuff my view count = money for me. It's a great way you can help without worrying about giving me a single cent out of your own moth-eaten pocket.
Donate anything, anything at all to our paypal account (our paypal e-mail is bariguy@2phatgeeks.com) with 100% assurance it will go directly to helping pay off the lawyer, or necessity (what we consider necessities) bills such as groceries, pet food, power and cable.
Or, you can visit my chipIN and donate money that way.
Purchase a $2 avatar(RDI avatar blog link), and if you like it alot, you can purchase the larger 300x400 avatar for $10 with $3 of that going to one of three sites: Greater Realms Web hosting cost, Dragon's Mark: The Red Dragon Inn, or The Humane Society of the United States.
Purchase one of my deviant Art Prints(link to D.A print shop) for sale! Remember to check out the smaller sizes for much more affordable pricing. Additionally if you are feeling SUPER generous, you might consider helping me with a Premium Print account, which would allow me to upload even larger files, control the pricing of my prints, allow payment via paypal AND earn a larger percentage for every print sold.
Contact me for an Art Commission, willing to forgo size and color limits and haggle for those with empty pockets like my own!
That's it--that's all I got right now in ways you can help and ways you can help and get something back for it. If anyone has anymore suggestions, anything, really, to help me make some dough online on my own without relying on donations I am all ears. (Since I'm not yet legal, I can't hold a job. So I can't get a job to earn money in case all of you confused people were about to type, "GO TO WORK LAZY PANTS.")
There you have it. I am officially shameless and self-pimping cheap whore and I think I'm okay with it. Hope you guys are too. :s

I cannot for the life of me find inspiration currently for Flash fiction this month (a story between 55 to 1000 words.)
You would think with a limit as low as 55 that is should be easy for me to hammer out something short and sweet, but it's not.
Help me? Give me a prompt you think I might be able to handle and I'll see if I can write it. Fan fiction, sci-fi, modern, in first person or third. Hit me up.
I can't promise I'll be able to write for everyone or talented enough, but I'll certainly try.

Anyway, last week when we were getting them I got into an argument with Shawn's optometrist. He stopped in the office of mine to get contacts. Now I was asking my doctor if there were reasonably affordable (IE: cheaper but decent quality) contacts when Shawn's doctor came in. I wasn't going to go with Accuvue lenses. Shawn apparently decided to go with Accuvue and I asked HIS doctor if there wasn't anything any cheaper and he flipped.
"I'M the EYE DOCTOR here, and MY advice is the advice YOUR HUSBAND is following," he huffed. "Further more, you don't expect to purchase a $20 car and have it run, why would you purchase a cheaper pair of CONTACTS. They're your EYES."
"--Whoa, whoa, whoa, attitude dude." I said to him before I realized it. I think he bristled. He was balding, so there wasn't much to bristle.
"WELL. Contacts are a luxury item. If you can't afford them, don't get them."
"Uh--our insurance covers them. We wouldn't if--" He'd already stormed off.
Uhm. The only reason we got lenses & contacts was because as soon as I married Shawn I was able to be placed on his benefits. Insurance covered contacts up to a certain amount and lenses, the same. Let's just say I won't be seeing THAT doctor anytime soon.
I wouldn't even have contacts if not for this. So! I think that I will try and get the more expensive astigmatism contact lenses. I'll get less, but I don't plan on wearing them that often (special occasions,) so as long as I keep them sealed in containers within best before dates, should be good to go. AND I should be able to see with them.
Right now, I'm stuck wearing the first prescription because the docs have to be sure my eyes aren't going to explode out of my face and crawl away and it drives me nuts. I can see our neighbors house clear as day, the house after, the far-away trees, but we get to the garden outside out window and it's a little blurry. Anything from right in front of me to 10 feet on makes my eyes freak out. One moment they're in focus the next they're not!

Enjoy! After that, I am going to bed. Good night!

"Irish atheists are horrified by new legislation making blasphemy illegal, and punishable by a 25,000-Euro fine. Christians of all stripes should be, too.
As part of a revision to defamation legislation, the Dail (Irish Parliament) passed legislation creating a new crime of blasphemy. Update: The bill went to the Seanad on Friday, July 10, passing by a single vote. This attack on free speech, debated for several months in Europe, has gone largely unnoticed in the American press.
The text of the legislation is provided at the end of this post.
How does this impact free speech? Just don’t be rude.
- Atheists can be prosecuted for saying that God is imaginary. That causes outrage.
- Pagans can be prosecuted for saying they left Christianity because God is violent and bloodthirsty, promotes genocide, and permits slavery.
- Christians can be prosecuted for saying that Allah is a moon god, or for drawing a picture of Mohammed, or for saying that Islam is a violent religion which breeds terrorists.
- Jews can be prosecuted for saying Jesus isn’t the Messiah
And: http://ladyboyjesus.com/
" Thus he has created a bill, passed without debate during a session attended by, on average only six TDs at a time, which foists a €25,000 euro ($34,900 USD, or £21,439 Sterling) fine on anyone who “publishes or utters matter”…
“grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of that religion; and he or she intends, by the publication of the matter concerned, to cause such outrage.”
And: http://elf-fu.livejournal.com/458999.ht
generatinghype"It is a damn shame that the rest of the world will only get these snippets from the Defamation Bill and cry in outrage while ignoring all the good the remainder of the Bill is accomplishing. Perhaps taking a look at the previous law that's been in place since 1961 will help to put this new bill and its faults in perspective. May I offer: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2009/0710/1224250387253.html . [...]
he bulleted list is a gross exaggeration and, as WD has mentioned, the law deals with deliberate provocation i.e. "I walked into your church and pissed on the altar because I hate religion" which pissed off the vast majority of people who practice that religion not "I got drunk and told God to fuck off" which made my bar buddies laugh and another drunk punch me in the nose.

She made figure eights on the coffee table with index finger: perfection, infinity, and cosmic balance. Morning sunlight, yellow-gold haloed her brown hair as she hummed and sipped coffee. In these moments of simplicity I could not love her any more than I already did; my heart would simply crumple like paper and fly away.
EDITS:
**Doubled word: golden. Changed golden hair to brown.
**Confusion over tenses. love her more than I already do changed to already did
**Great advice to clean up the last sentence, followed it :D
