6 Favourite Places To Have Fun Online

September 6, 2008



Barbara Ling
has tagged me to share my six favourite places to have fun online. This is difficult because I have fun in so many places and I don’t do favourites. But here’s some of the ones I’ve been having a lot of fun at lately:

I don’t watch Big Brother, but recently, I’ve been glued to the Internet’s own version, over at Someday Syndrome. Alex Fayle has his “Lab Rats” exposing all, on their mission to achieve their goals.

Momgrind is another place I’ve been enjoying hanging out. Vered asks some great questions about toothpaste and stuff, shares some hilarious ads and is generally an all round entertaining girl.

Wat Da Wat is the online home of Chris – father of five crazy children and teacher. Lately, he’s had me on the age of my seat with his serial story about a time when he hit rock bottom.

Right now, I’m in the middle of reading a 10,000 word article on how to improve my creativity. And I’m thanking Mark for introducing it to me. He also has a great blog too: Broadcasting Brain.

Also, I’m really enjoying Robin’s posts, over at Lets Live Forever. Robin’s blog is unique. Sure there’s lot so places out there claiming that our soul lives on forever – but Robin believes that our physical bodies can live for hundreds of years. She writes some interesting stuff – you should check it out.

If I didn’t include you – don’t be offended, I do like lots of blogs. But the rules said 6. Ok – so I included 7, it was just a little cheat.

    Hey thanks!

    Needless to say, I know most of the bloggers you mentioned here.

    Off to check out that article on how to improve creativity. I’m intrigued.

    Thanks Cath! – I just got home from Mum’s and I see this! I’m really touched.

    Now I gotta spend some time with Frank – and ask him what my quirks are so I can comment on Vered’s post.

    Great choices Cath! I read most of these you listed as well – because they are so well written. One is new to me, so – hey – time for me to discover what I’ve been missing…

    Cath,
    This is a nice original way to do a meme and a great way to learn about some new blogs! I am already familiar with some of them but I got a few new ones so I am off to check them out. Thanks!

    Hi Vered – you’re welcome. I love hanging out at your blog and reading all the replies to some of your questions.

    The creativity article is a huge one – I’m reading it bit by bit.

    Hi Robin – you’re welcome. Your blog is totally different to anything I ever read before – I love it.

    Quirks are funny – sometimes we don’t realise we even have them I guess, so we have to ask others.

    Hi Lance – thank you. I know most of these will be familiar to you. I’m guessing it’s Broadcasting Brain and the creativity article you’ve not come across before. I hope you enjoy them.

    Hi Wendi – thank you. I’m pleased Barbara invited me to do it. I hope you enjoy visiting the new ones.

    Cath – I know most of these bloggers. Vered is my favorite so I’m glad to see her name at the top. Chris and robin both have created a blog with intensity for an honest conversation. I look forward to your post about creativity. I love the subject.

    Hi Cath – some of the blogs are favorites of mine as well. I look forward for Vered’s Wordless Wednesdays… where does she find her stuff? :)

    Hi Shilpan – I’m glad you enjoy them. The creativity post is interesting but you can’t read it all in one sitting.

    Hi Al – I know. She comes up with so many old ads and things – it’s brilliant.

  9. cathlawson on September 6th, 2008 9:27 pm

    Thanks Rita – Chris really keeps us hanging on doesn’t he? It’s a sad story – I honestly thought it was happening to him now when I first read it.

    But, he’s definitely giving a lot of hope to folks who are in the same situation.

    Hey Cath, thanks for linking out to me. Hope you find Hugh’s “How to be creative” article useful. Apparently he’s turning into a real book.

    Hi Mark – you’re welcome. I’m not surprised he’s turning it into a book. It’s a huge piece of work.

    Hi Catherine,

    What a cute meme. I hang out at most of these blogs as well. Great choices!

    Hi Barbara – Thanks. I wish I could’ve put more. I visit so many great blogs.

  14. Alex Fayle on September 8th, 2008 10:20 am

    I’m the Internet version of Big Brother! Woo hoo! Thanks Cath. What a fun comparison.

    I’m glad you’re enjoying the Lab-Rat series and I’m going to go check out the few blogs on the list that I don’t know.

    Cheers,
    Alex

    Hi Alex – you’re welcome. It is fun watching how the Lab Rats get on. And they reveal so much about themselves that it is a lot like Big Brother.

    I read most of the those that you have listed…, and I’m having a hard time catching up right now so I won’t be adding any new ones. Those that I’m familiar with are great though!

    We’re at our daughter’s house in Windsor, Wisconsin, right now, camping about 5 minutes from here.
