It's easy to find all sorts of different websites on the Internet. Sometimes you'll find yourself looking at particular topics that you wouldn't even know about if it wasn't for that google search engine. You'd be amazed by the things that exist, and maybe even frightened by the things that do! Nevertheless, like real life the Internet can becoming boring from time to time. Especially if there is a limited amount of ideas for sites out of the top of your head. If you're lucky you'll find a website that links to other websites with either similar topics or topics that stray, but are still interest. Other times, you're not so lucky and you're stuck with figuring out how to spend those 10 minutes before class next. Luckily for you, I've been using the Internet since I was 12 years old and I've seen my amount of websites. I can link you to a ton of them. All I need to know is what you're interested in looking for.

If you're interested in on-line gossip, then you won't need to search that far. A really good gossip website that adds its own spunk is a community on Livejournal (which is like blogger and MySpace rolled into one). It's called OhNoTheyDidnt. On OhNoTheyDidnt, members of the community find and post gossip. It updates everyday, and usually within every hour or so, there'd be a new post. It's also a fun website because they hold contests for their members, and have special days called "FFAF" or "Free For All Friday" where members can come together and post basically anything besides pornography. It's a fun website to look through if you're a fan or gossip, or just bored one day. Either way, the website will have you searching through their archives and enjoying the juicy details in between!

If you're interested in comedic material, then another great website is Cracked.com. On Cracked, members post hilarious articles ranging from Technology, Science, and adult content. The articles are not only well written, but they're written with a compelling allure so that the reading would want to read more. You can even learn a thing or two by going on the website so there's some education in there!

If you're a Sci-Fi fiend, then io9.com is a great website to go to. io9.com publishes articles not only about Sci-Fi related material like movies and TV shows, but also about comic books. I personally love going to this website because it satisfy my inner geek.

Last but not least, for all things politics DailyKos.com is a wonderful and articulate website. It's updated and posted by members and even celebrity members, who talk about the political ideas and issues facing our country today. If you want to be informed about the issues, then this thorough website is where you need to go.

Hopefully on your next adventure to the Inter-web, you'll find websites that will not only entertain, but enrich you with knowledge. Whether it's the juicy details of a certain actress's night, to things you didn't even know about chemistry or your favorite movie of the week.
