People are mixing up the requirements been the CPL and the ATP all the time.
I've still taken the most conservative approach when I was figuring up X/C time for my ATP and I still log X/C time only when I've gone more than 50nm and made a landing - but this is done by choice and is more conservative than the FARs allow (not that I am concerned with logging more X/C time other than my own information/record keeping).
flyskiwake - others have covered it very well....but you are getting yourself into a situation here where you can certainly gain experience, but if you log it, you will be setting yourself up for negative consequences for a long time to come when searching for legitimate aviation employment.

Cross-country time means—
(i) Except as provided in paragraphs (ii) through (vi) of this definition, time acquired during flight—
(A) Conducted by a person who holds a pilot certificate;
(B) Conducted in an aircraft;
(C) That includes a landing at a point other than the point of departure; and
(D) That involves the use of dead reckoning, pilotage, electronic navigation aids, radio aids, or other navigation systems to navigate to the landing point.

Note that 135 time is not a certificate so you can use the general definition "landing at another point navigated to using dead reckoning, etc."
