if you know me, you know that i am always trying out a new "scheme" on craiglist. ive realized lately that the doubt that i had about making money (or should i say ever HAVING it) needs to be turned into rage and full-force aggressiveness towards all the money that is out there in the world. one of my favorite places to do this is on craigslist -- and have been paid crazy amounts for doing the craziest of studies, gigs, and focus groups.
today i decided to take a chance and reply to a post for a Boston based reality show that is doing a casting call.
heres what the post read:

and here is what i sent them this morning:
My name is Seana, but my family and friends call me "Sauce", an affectionate nickname that I was dubbed with about 6 years ago and I'm convinced will never go away.
I am a 23 year old female living each day to the fullest. I am what I am and I have no shame in my game. I rap, I paint, and I talk fast. I have met someone from 80% of every country in the world. My biological father just "cut me off" along with 3 of my other sisters -- but I still am the oldest of 10 siblings.
I am a Capricorn "shorty", who is living the life of her dreams in a 200 year old loft apartment in the city of Boston. When I was younger, I really wanted to "change the world". Now i just want to see it and experience each day that I am offered. I adore classic hip-hop, jeopardy, strong coffee and even stronger beer. I am truly inspired by warm days, crazy dreams, delicious food & the independent talent that lies in the young adult generation of today.
I am the queen of getting things for free, and for flying by the seat of my pants. I am probably one of the most positive people you will ever meet - with a heart full of gold, pockets full of lint and a handful of cash that flies in and out of my hands so quickly. I give this city of Boston (where I have lived for 6 years now) all that I have, and once and a while -- I get it back. Tourists are the best source of income, but the desperate yet personable individual that I am, I participate in craigslist gigs, part-time jobs, focus groups and research studies at least twice a week. I was never rich -- never came from money, and my parents came from less than that. As children of immigrants they instilled a strong sense of determination -- and also a strong sense of pride in the personal values that you hold rather than how much money is in your bank account at a given moment.
I am in the very beginning phases of starting my own business. I received my first undergraduate degree (in Human Services) in 2008 from Northeastern- am became the first person in my family EVER to graduate college. I am getting my second undergraduate degree in Graphic Design for free thanks to the full-time job that I have. I am extremely interested in the human race, cultures, and how people make decisions and travel through this journey of life. I love hearing peoples stories - and I love taking chances. I can not wait to share my story one day.
