I've already started selling my plasma. Well, actually I tried to, they discovered I'd had a piercing within a year, and told me to come back in May. So I'm going tomorrow.

I'm also debating participating in human trials for some drug or whatever. It's decent money and only involves 4 visits. The catch is I'd have to change the departure date for my flight to my aunt's wedding because one of the clinic visits starts the day I'm supposed to leave. I can't decide whether I should change my flight or just risk the wrath of the scientists and bow out after 3 visits. It's still over 2 grand.

So that said, what's the strangest thing you've ever done for money when you're strapped for cash?

Do you ever go to sleep? Or are we just two insomniacs?

I've actually been sleeping a lot more lately. I live in California so it's only 10:53 pm. But yes I am awake most of the time.

Worked as a guinnypig in some hearing experiments a while. They played distorted noises in my ears and asked what it sounded like. Got a horrible headache everytime I did it (Was four to six hours straight) and they pay was horribly low. Come to think about it they promised me more work in the future.

I once did this memory experiment that involved minor electric shocks at one point. Apparently I did extremely well.

I guess I'm just not afraid of shocks.

Did well at my test thingy aswell actually. Top of the class the lady who tortured me said. Didnt really feel much pride though, mostly pain.

I considered selling my ova at one point but I found out the process is a bit more involved than I thought. Not only is there a full physical exam (which I hate) but a full psych exam, and even after that if no one "choses" you there's no guarantee that you ever get paid. So I never did it. Never considered anything else, actually. Sounds like it's mostly no fun to be a guina pig, though.
