A few of my favorite things!

Have you ever people watched? It's kind of creepy, being on the other side of the watching, knowing that people are watching you...Well, I'm the one who's been watching you. That's right, the mask is off! For a while I did the majority of post approval/rejections. How do you like me now? :)

The Flaming Tamale
So.... I'm stuck in the airport again. This time I'm in San Jose, CA. I have to say that the weather here is awesome compared to hot-sticky-humid Orlando. I will be back in the saddle tomorrow and I am going on my first real extended vacation in years on Saturday. I am hitting Nassau, St. Martin and St. Thomas, should be awesome. My fat butt has been sitting on planes so much the past couple months I hope I can fit in my bathing suit! LOL.

Fear not, Veronique (Veron as I call her), our multi-lingual, multi-talented, multi-beer drinking Customer Zealot will be manning the blog with me from now on with me. I have come to the conclusion that I can't blog as much as I want to and I need some help spreading the love and dropping the lowdown. She's nuts, so watch out.

My posts will be under the name "payperpost" and her posts will be under the name "flaming tamale". I am very excited to have another contributor and I know you all will love her witty posts.

We still love you Brandy!
Sorry about the delay in getting this up!

Name:
Brandy Brow (Brandy of The Building Brows)

People call me:
Brandy, Mama, The woman with six kids, friend

You can call me:
Any of the above, but not Mama. Six kids is enough for now!

Age, Location:
33 I think. Let me count..._ _ _ _ Yep. It's 33. I live in Vermont, USA.

When did you join PayPerPost, Why?
I joined PayPerPost on July 1, 2006 hoping to raise money for our partially constructed house. What? You haven't seen our house? Shame on you! Visit our blog thebuildingbrows.blogspot.com and see how far (or not) we've come in building it. I figured that any little bit of cash would help my husband, me, and six kids get out of our two bedroom sardine can, er, trailer.

If you could pick one word to describe yourself, what would it be?
Feline. Although I'm not a real cat fan, I like my alone time, seem to have lots of kittens running around (though not in litters at a time), and am lovable, but can snap when stressed if not careful.

PayPerPost:: Money as You::
My writer's brain can't make sense of this one. Is that good or bad?

We say potato, you say:
otatop... I could spend 24 hours blogging non-stop about what God has shown/taught me.

What is your favorite city?
I don't have one--I'm a pure-bred country girl.

What is your claim to fame?
I'm a published author. And thanks to my blog, I was almost on the Discovery Channel. A filming company in the UK saw our blog and contacted us about filming our family for a documentary, but our site location didn't end up working out.

Have you ever been in the newspaper? For what?
Yes. I've published articles in local newspapers, am a contributing editor for The Original Vermont Observer, and have also been profiled for my book contributions and participation in various organizations/events.

What is the highest bowling score you've ever gotten?
Very low. The last few times I bowled, I had to stop shortly thereafter from tendonitis pain and finish out the game as score keeper. My dad has a much better bowling score, even owns a ball.

In your world, what's at the end of a rainbow?
The one who made it--Jesus.

What do the dictionary, the planet Jupiter, and Oprah have in common?
They are thick in the middle and great sources of unique information.

What is your favorite Font?
Ooo, there are so many to choose from. That's like asking what is my favorite food, only worse. Today I like Swenson, but I use Times New Roman to meet writing submission standards.

Did you see Snakes on a Plane? Your thoughts?
No I didn't see Snakes on a Plane, though I heard it was good and surprisingly well documented for how the snakes ended up on the plane. I don't want to see the movie, either. I fly too infrequently to have my active imagination help me the next time I'm on a plane.

Video Camera Opportunity
I don't know if I can offer a video camera right now, but I would love to work out a nice discount program through one of our advertisers. If you sell video cameras and you are willing to offer a substantial discount to our PayPerPosers please contact me. I will be happy to promote your offer to our network of bloggers if they can save enough mula.

Thanks for the great idea guys. Colleen, Techie, Brandy I expect to see some commercials! : )

International Love
We have officially begun supporting international bloggers. Blogs are still required to be in English, but we now allow bloggers from all over the world to participate in PayPerPost. Thanks for being patient!

Make your television debut
Last week was absolutely crazy. I was in Chicago, Boston and New York in five days. Now I am sitting in the airport in Washington and my flight is delayed. Yeah.... some time to blog : )

It looks like we are going to be announcing some big things in the near future. Stay tuned for all the juicy details.

One of the first things on our list is a marketing campaign to promote our service. I believe in the concept of Consumer Generated Advertising so much that I am going to have you, our wonderfully creative and crazy bloggers create our commercial instead of an ad agency. That's saying a lot given the fact that I have founded two ad agencies.

I have created an opportunity requesting videos. I am going to be giving $2000 to the creator of each video we decide to run on television as part of the campaign. I know y'all will rock it and I can't wait to see what is developed. Be creative!

We're Hiring!
We are looking for 4 or more Ruby on Rails developers. We offer competitive pay, 401(k) with matching, a great health plan, an energetic work environment and stock options. If you are a potential candidate send your resume to our support team.

Nominate us for Best of the Web!
Business Week's Best of the Web award is up for voting and nominations. These are the guys that blasted us when we first launched, I would love to show them that they were wrong. Go Here to vote. We aren't on the ballet yet, but you can write us in for Blogging Tools. Sorry, no money attached to this one, if we make it I want to do so becuase you guys love the service. We've got some pretty stiff competition.

Thats What I'm Talking 'bout Willis!
Finally... someone gets it. Check out this digg.

Love Bug?
Bug has been selected as our second PayPerPoster profile, you can check her out in the blogger dashboard. She's a little younger than our buddy Willie, but just a strange : )

Check her out : http://www.anindiansummer.net

People call me:
Bug

You can call me:
Bug

Age, Location:
19, Tucson, Arizona

When did you join PayPerPost, Why?
I jumped on board in July on the recommendation of a good friend *grins* I mostly did it because I think it's wicked cool to get paid for something I do anyway. Also it really appealed to me that I'd be getting instant blogging material for those times when the little hamster in my head stops runnin' on his wheel.

If you could pick one word to describe yourself, what would it be?
Outgoing

PayPerPost:: Money as
You :: Random Thoughts

We say potato, you say:
Gun

Name a bully from your elementary school days:
Wow, I honestly don't remember that far back *blush*

Do you have a MySpace account?
Sure do! C'mon by and visit anytime: http://www.myspace.com/thelastcowgirls

What was your best subject in school?
Agriculture and English

Who is your favorite monarch?
Hatshepsut, the first known female to take the title King of Upper and Lower Egypt, and is known as one of the first great woman in recorded history. She was attributed with many building projects, sculptures, and the re-opening trade networks that were disrupted by the Hyksos' occupation of Egypt. An extremely busy and an extremely smart lady.

If it were offered to you, would you be the President of the US?
Just tell me where to swear in and I'll be there!

Where were you the day the music died?
I wasn't even a twinkle in my daddy’s eye the day the music died y'all.

What is the one thing you never got for Christmas?
A pony. Santa, I know you're reading this...and I'm still waitin' buddy!

Fill in the blank...Whoever said you can’t buy happiness forgot about:
Sharing a huge dinner with your family at a great restaurant and not having to do the dishes afterwards!

Have you danced today?
Of course I have, and my readers can attest to that! What kind of day is it if you're not dancing?
