Holy crap, when I said obnoxiously long, I did not realize it was almost twice the character limit. D:
You might also think about one or two of the credit-card offers on CashCrate because they've got a couple different Discover cards with a $40 payout (I realized this, of course, after I got one of the same cards through InboxDollars for a $15 payout, grrr). You have to make and pay off a purchase with the card to get it, but as long as it doesn't charge any fees and you just do the one purchase and pay it off right away, it shouldn't be a problem. ...Of course I guess you'd need money first to do that. Does look like CashCrate has more offers with good payouts...oh, and definitely try Nicole's Savings Advantage through them, because not only will CashCrate pay out $7 for doing it, you'll also get a $25 Target gift card and a $25 Starbucks gift card, and that's still cool even without either of those in your area because I checked, cards like that sell for just barely below their value on eBay (like, $20+). Follow the instructions here (http://www.littlepeoplewealth.com/2009/07/50-gift-card-to-starbucks-and-target.html) (just go through CashCrates' link to get there) so you get the cards without paying $12 or whatever for the first month of a service you don't need to make sure you get the cards, because I thought I should wait until the card came and it took kind of forever. But I wouldn't have had to. And I didn't know to go through CashCrates. Frell. Maybe I can do it again with a different e-mail address...? >_<
Remember to use Ebates any time you buy online, too. Or MrRebates or CashBaq or even some of the other sites like InboxDollars and CashCrate, because those give cash back too; you just want to compare them, because they all seem to work with different stores and give back different percentages. Unfortunately I don't think any of them work with, say, any of the places I keep buying t-shirts like Threadless and Teextile and DBH because right now I have $273 in my cart from DBH's big sale. D: Time to start weeding.
Oh also don't forget Swagbucks, at least for extra Amazon money--a $5 Amazon card is 45 SB (I've gotten $15 worth of Amazon stuff from them...which reminds me, I really should actually spend that, plus the $20 card from Cat...), and now they have a thing where they'll send you actual money by PayPal, 70 SB for $5.
Also I've got this Google Docs file I can share with you with links to some of those "free" offers with big payouts...you know, like the ones in banner ads that tell you they want to give you a free iPod...but none of these require referrals, and they say how many offers you have to participate in (most are free, some cost a little--just like the offers at InboxDollars et al. except without immediate gratification), and while you would not get money immediately, I do know that it's not a scam entirely because 1) this is what ProjectPayday is based on and I know it works, even if it's not as easy or profitable as they want you to think, and 2) Kelsey actually did one of these once and got a $500 Victoria's Secret card in the mail weeks later.
Oh, and these people might still be trading software for reviews...I got a couple of the HGTV programs off them because they retail for a lot and I figured, hey, I'll use the program, review it, and sell it on eBay. Got the CD-ROMs, never had time to use them or review them because of school and then ZOMG THESIS, and...they have never bugged me about the reviews, months later. I still guiltily feel like I had better do that, at some point, before I sell them, but...yeah. ANYWAY. The point is, see if they're still doing this and if they are ask for whatever the most expensive programs are, and all you have to do is use them enough for a short (like, for Amazon) review and then sell them on eBay.
Also, I have told you in person that you have a fantastic voice, and hearing you recorded just makes me remember that, so...yeah. Anyone can put music up for free on last.fm; might be a way to attract at least a little attention and get people to buy an EP or something? (And if you can, I dunno, figure out a way to make weird noises like crying babies work, that would be cool too. :p)
