GiftHulk- what is it and why should you invest your time?


GiftHulk is a popular points reward site that I have recently discovered, and let me just tell you: it is awesome! It's kind of like Swagbucks in its layout, but is somewhat different. GiftHulk offers many earning opportunities, and I'll list some of them and explain a bit about each thing. I think the great part about GiftHulk is that it doesn't take much effort to earn points, you just have to be honest when answering surveys, and have to actually want to earn the points.

Fountain of Youth: Like Swagbucks' swag codes, GiftHulk has a section where you can redeem codes as well, found around the site/its facebook/twitter that can get you free Hulk Coins! I got 250 today and I don't know about you, but that's awesome! So far, I have 859 Hulk Coins, and I'm working towards getting a paypal gift card!

Apps: There are a variety of applications you can install on your phone or ipad, and that'll win you easy Hulk Coins.

Surveys: You can get lots of points just by answering surveys! You won't always qualify, but usually you will be rewarded for your effort, which is great.

Videos: You can watch videos for points! If you watch a certain amount a videos, you get 5 Hulk Coins. I think that's pretty fair, don't you? It's really cool.

So, there we have it. I think everybody should give this site a try, it's one-hundred percent free, and you can connect to it via Facebook or Twitter.

If you want to join and start earning, here's my invite link. My username is sydenie_beaupre: http://www.gifthulk.com/invite/SB275250

A dude to check out, and other stuff.


So, I was browsing on Wattpad and came across this guy. His pen name is Parogar, and here is a link to his profile: http://www.wattpad.com/user/Parogar

You're probably wondering why I'm randomly telling you about some guy I don't even know. Well, the thing is, I really like his stories, and I just like the way he presents himself. *over the internet lol* He is witty, unafraid of being judged, and is for some pretty good causes. He just left a good impression on me for some reason. Anyway, his works are awesome, and you should really check them out.

In other news, I made a new site for my writing and stuff: http://sydenayrox.wix.com/sydniebeaupre so you should, you know, maybe check that out too. ANYHOO, happy back to school for all you students out there, and everybody else- have a good life!

Update on my life and such



So I did a thing. I chopped off my hair to donate it to cancer patients so that they could have wigs made for them. My friend Sam- who's now living with me by the way and I'll get to that later- did the same thing. The only difference is, I was growing my hair out for that exact purpose! And guess what? I'm doing it again! I'll keep the short hair for a wee bit, but yup, I'm growing it out again to donate it.

As somebody who is both anaemic and has a lack of white blood cells, I cannot give blood which has made me very upset in the past. BUT, I realized that the next best thing to donating blood was....HAIR! I can donate my hair! Hey, donating blood doesn't change your appearance- unless you're like me and you pass out and get all pale and stuff- and donating your hair totally does, but hair grows back, and I like having short hair anyway. So, at the age of fifteen, after having gotten a terrible hair cut and throwing a small fit, I came to that realization- the one that said "Oh my God, you'll be fine, hair grows back" (I was practically given a mullet)- and I decided that I would grow my hair out for a good cause. Cancer is as good a cause as any, am I right? And finally, five years (and many annoying haircuts forced on me by my mother to keep my hair 'looking healthy' and experimental hair dyes) later I have reached my goal! My hair was past my breasts, about two or three inches I'd say, and I was actually planning on growing it out down to my bum because I thought my hair wasn't long enough. I was wrong!!! The minimum is eight inches, and uhh...well my hair was very long, let's put it that way.

I'm happy as heck, and am proud of myself. So...there's that!



So, about Sam. Wellp, she's here to stay! She is the best person to have around the house ever- well to have around in general, really. We get along so well! We're both looking for jobs and are hoping to move out together and maybe even buy a small pig or a kitten as a pet. We're cool!

The road to a happy Sydnie, updates, kidnapping friends, and more.

Hello Blogger-verse!

I'm pretty happy. I'll tell you why through interpretive dance!!! No, but seriously, I'm on the road to happy :)

Some reasons why (not in any particular order):

1. I'm in Montreal, which is my home city.
2. I have a boyfriend who doesn't make me cry, and who likes me for who I am, and who was already one of my best friends. I miss Liam though and wish we had worked out..
3. My freaking amazing friends
4. My freaking amazing family
5. English- sorry French side of the family, I'm an anglophone, and Sherbrooke is too French for me! I'm mostly bilingual, but still...I prefer to speak English if I can.
7. I have a great support group not just in actual life, but online with the Swamp Family ;)

In other news, I think I'm just going to go back to Cartier. I'll take extra classes like conversational French, if I can, and I'll get help from the Dyscalculia center in the West Island for my math classes at Cartier, and do this thing. I'm sick of waiting for this to go through. I'm smart, it's time to show the world that i can get through whatever gets in my damn way!

In other, other, news, my friends and I kidnapped our friend Shane the other day and forced him to come with us on a mini-adventure. You may be thinking, "What the heck?" and you'd probably be right in thinking  that because we're kind of retarded. But this is how it went:

Nancie and I were at Tim Horton's and got lonely without our usual rowdy group of friends. So, we invited some friends to come out, walked to her house, got her car and picked up Kim. Shane said he didn't want to come, but when we asked him why, he said he had homework- THAT WAS DUE IN LIKE TWO DAYS!!! So, even though he was adamant about not coming, we drove to his house and sat out front, and called him. Luckily, his mother came outside and was like, "Oh, girls, I'll go get him!" and she forced him to come with us. He ended up having a good time with Kim, Nancie, Deborah, Ian, and I- and we saw kittens and ate food and stuff.

Moral of the story is? COME ON FRIGGEN ADVENTURES OR WE'LL FORCE YOU!!!

Youtube

I posted a video of myself singing on youtube, today. It's not the best qualityn video, but you know, it's a start. I'm going to keep uploading now, I finally have the drive :)

Here it is! I'm singing a bit of the song Skin by the band BOY: "BOY is a Swiss-German pop duo founded in 2007 by singer Valeska Steiner and bassist Sonja Glass. The two met during a pop-music course at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg in 2005. The band initially played concerts independently, before being discovered and signed to Herbert Grönemeyer's label, Grönland Records, in 2011.

Their debut album, Mutual Friends was produced by Philip Steinke and released in September 2011.

Their first hit single "Little Numbers" was featured in the German film "Kein Sex ist auch keine Lösung" ("No Sex is no Solution either").

BOY won the Hamburg Musician Prize HANS in 2011 in the category Hamburgs Newcomer of the Year, and the European Border Breakers Award (EBBA) in 2012." (Taken from http://www.lyricshall.com/biography/BOY/)

Jobs, chocolate milk, and dreams

I need a job; there's no sugarcoating the fact that I am a poor, almost twenty year old, that lives with her parents because she couldn't continue going to college because she didn't finish her high school, because life sucks, so her parents pay her rent and cellphone bill.

I. Am. BROKE! I have seventeen cents in my bank account. Seventeen cents. Woopty-friggen-doo.

So, no I'm looking for jobs and stuff. I'll let y'all know how that goes.

In other news, I'm drinking chocolate milk, and am feelin damn happy about that. It's Nesquik! Who doesn't love Nesquik??? Okay, maybe a lot of people, but shh. I love it. That's all that matters.....right? I actually just dropped it and now I'm sad 'cause it's gone. MY CHOCOLATE MILK IS GONEEEE!! WHYYY???

Also, I have had some pretty interesting dreams lately, that have given me great book ideas.
One was about a Native girl who was adopted by a rich white family at the age of five, and was taken off the reservation she lived on. She is brought up as their daughter with their own children, but always feels different from her family because she isn't as white as them (she's light skinned). She attends this prestegious school, and instead of taking the bus to school like most of her peers, she hikes there to feel closer to nature. On her way to school, she meets a boy who is also headed the same way, and the talk as they make their way to school. She finds out that he's also Native, and lives on the local reservation, and they strike up a friendship. THEN I WOKE UP, DAMNIT! So, of course, now I'm writing a story about them.

The other dream was about this dance school that people from all over the world attend, that has a forest and garden behind it, and in the forest there's this littlr patch of burrs/dandelions/whatever they were, that are...haunted? I'm not sure. Anyway, in this dream, I fell into them and a whole bunch of weird things started to happen, like I could see these little creatures everywhere, I was hearing things...and then all of a sudden, I realized the whole school was in danger of being destroyed by fae!! Then something about posssions and microwaves happened and I woke up confused as hell...but yeah. Imma adapt that into a story (it'll make more sense, I swear).

Soooo, yeah!

This funny feeling...


I dyed my hair to its natural colour...and it feels good to look like how I was intended to look. For now. I like to change my hair a lot, and I think it's because it's something I feel that I can control in my life, when things aren't so great. But right now? I think things are pretty great.

I'll tell you why...

I'm home, where my family and friends are (and pets!). I'm getting my shit together. ANNNND... I have somebody who really knows me (who has known me for a good six or seven years) and who makes me laugh instead of cry- I'm not gonna go into detail quite yet, because I'm not ready to disclose that information. But I've definately got this funny feeling all up in my tummy, and I think it's happiness and uhh, something a little bit more than that.

I'm myself again. I'm this weird, awkward, doesn't-give-a-shit-what-people-think about me girl. And I'm starting to actually like myself, because the past three years I haven't been me, I've been this shell of a girl who just hates herself, who has to walk on eggshells just breathing! Not anymore.

Read my books, blah, blah, blah...and stuff, yeah!

I'm going to go eat Fruit Loops now, suckers!!!
