poetry

AP European History
Why yes I do run the new AP Euro website! How nice of you to ask! Test copies and vocab.

Livejournal
The first major blogging location on the net. Create your own account, join communities, or read the journals of other computer-addicted freaks (read mine here).

Josh Woodward
Behold the almighty Josh Woodward music ... shiny songs, shiny lyrics, lots of shinyness. Good enough that I have converted many to this shiny way of shiny music shinyness.

One Word
What can you do with a word and sixty seconds? Write, that's what! This site focuses on un-left-brain-censored thinking. After you've written your masterpiece, post it on the site!

LAUNCH
Relatively decent online music videos. Good for a cable-less girl like myself.

Obsessive Icons
Livejournal community with all the best 100x100 pixel user pictures; credit goes to enriana for her ferris wheel icon that is present on every page.

FOUND Magazine
The online site for a magazine that reminds me of the movie Amelie. Comprised of a collection of found notes, photographs, etc. Very interesting, in my opinion.

Neopets
Online pets, merchandise, lots of other nonsense. The games are spiffing, though -- I'm fond of Sutek's Tomb and Destruct-O-Match.

The Academy of American Poets
Good poetry! Lots and lots of good poetry! Lots and lots of other stuff, too.

Allpoetry
Site with some of the worst poetry you will ever be degraded enough to see. But there is the odd good poet, and the contests are fun, and some people are receptive to critiques.

Orisinal
Play some of the cutest animated games you'll find on the net (or anywhere else). Games range from 'Bauns' (my personal favorite) to 'Starry Nights,' with tons of choices in between.

Emode/Tickle
More psychoanalyzation than anyone could want.

The A-Z of Drugs
Guide to drugs. As guessed, right? Definitely more useful than what they teach in health class these days.

Printable Staff Paper
Cheap like me and lacking a program to write music on the computer? Have some printable staff paper! Very useful when plunking.

Muted Faith
One of the best sites on the internet, in my not-so-humble opinion. Take fun quizzes, read bizarre away messages (the source a few of mine), and check out lots of other awesome-ness.

How Stuff Works
This site is so random; I love it. While it is particularly excellent for AP Environmental Science projects, if there's ever any situation when you need just a quick bit of information, whether it is on fuel cell cars or on spontaneous human combustion, or any other such strange topic, this is the place to go.

MichaelMoore.com
The official webpage of one of the coolest writers out there, the one and only liberal Michael Moore. The author of Dude Where's My Country, Stupid White Men, and other books and movies, you can now get relatively frequent updates on Moore's thoughts (bring on the Bush-bashing).

Independent Media Center
Read news without the corporate bias. Written by independent media centers across the globe, you can visit this site to read what's really happening in the world.

Shmeng
For the culturally illiterate: come here and be learned. A gothic community, this place has forums, galleries, and best of all, articles (be sure to check out How to be Goth to find out what 'goth' really is).

Toasted Cheese
One of the more pervasive writing sites you'll find, with a pseudo-community, articles, contests, and more. There's also a calendar of writing prompts for those who need inspiration.

The Matrix: Philosophy
Numerous essays on the philosophy and theology behind the Matrix movies. Especially wonderful if you're in to Descartian philosophy, like I am (Cogito, ergo sum!).

Gothic Miss Manners' Finishing School
The voice of gothic manners. Very amusing to read even if one isn't 'goth' in the more stereotypical view of the word.

The Harry Potter Lexicon
For any die-hard Harry Potter fan, or anyone who likes to explore the intricacy of the books ... this site breaks down the technical ins and outs of the Harry Potter books into a near-science.

Click2Donate
The poor/lazy person's way to give something back to the earth. It's fast and it's vaguely amusing, too, particularly if you get an account so you can track your progress.

Glish.com
Great place for people who can't make their own CSS layouts.
