Well, now I’m completely moved back to St. Pete. I’ve almost got my room situated to suit me, but there are still a few boxes I have to go through and move around. I’ve moved furniture around, cleaned and cleaned some more. 
My cat is incredibly happy that I’m back home and whenever I sit down he’s right there trying to get into my lap. He also really likes this one pillow I have and has claimed it as his own.
My parents already have a list of stuff they want me to do while I’m here. Including: set up the new printer, help my sister set up her computer before she goes to college, get mulch with my truck for the backyard and sew a bunch of stuff for MetroCon.
I’m not sure when I’ll be updating the website for a little while, because since I’ve come home it’s been non-stop working and helping the parents with stuff. 
Luckily almost all of the stress I’ve been feeling for the past two months has gone away. I don’t have to worry about housing or food. Now I just have to worry about finding a job and I’ve got some positive prospects on the horizon for that.
I recently joined SocialSpark, another paid blogging website. This one is a little different however. It is more focused on creating a community rather than cut and dry paid posting.
At SocialSpark you can meet other bloggers and advertisers on a more personal level. It’s good for bloggers because it creates great opportunities to build traffic and get great networking. You can view other’s profiles, read their blogs and give them props to boost their profile. Advertisers can hand pick blogs for their opportunities, getting better traffic and
There are three kinds of oppourunities on SocialSpark: sponsored posts, blog sponsored and sparks. Sponsored posts work like any other, the advertiser states what they want and the blogger fulfills the requirements. Blog sponsorship is when an advertiser pays a blogger to display some form of advertisement on their blog; a pay per day thing. The last are sparks, these are free opportunities that give inspiration to bloggers (and advertisers) for posts.
Also, SocialSpark has a unique code of ethics. There is the 100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure, where you have to have a disclosure badge in your posts. Then the 100% Transparencey, everyone can see who you’re working with and on what. Also there is 100% Real Opinions, you can write whatever you want based on the advertiser’s conditions. Lastly, 100% Search Engine Friendly, where every link contains “no-follow” so as not to hurt search engine rankings.
The only minor problem I have had is that this opportunity was approved at midnight and I woke up at 10AM giving me only 2 hours to work on this. I’m not sure if it was unique to me getting approved at midnight or if that’s how the system is set up. I woke up and was like “Yay! I was approved! Oh wait, what time was it approved? Damn!”
Rob is visiting his family this week and they’re really into cool gadgets, especially security type gadgets. At his parent’s mechanic shop they have security cameras that are connected to an internet server and they can be watched from any computer. So, one time when I was visiting they had the computer set up at home and we saw something really funny. A tow truck was dropping off a truck at another mechanic shop and really dropped it! The guy had unhooked the car and it slid down the ramp of the tow truck and right into one of the cars at Rob’s dad’s shop! Since they had the camera, they had proof of it happening. It wasn’t a hidden camera, but it did its job perfectly. However there are some pretty ingenious Hidden Cameras out there - like hats, plants, a fire alarm, and even a camera hidden in ear buds.
