Sorry for being behind on blogging. I'm just getting over being really sick. (Just a normal cold, although everyone is convinced I should be quarantined)
I figure that since you all read this blog, you must have some other things that you do when you come online as well. When I go on the computer my line of fire is something like the following.
I check my email, I go on facebook and read any updates, I blog if anything so inspires me, I go on the Seventeen Answerology site, I read my wall on New Moon Girls, I browse random news feeds, and search other random things.
I don't have time to do these all every time, often I just check my email and facebook, but the other things are fun too. What sites to you look at when your online? How much time would you think you spend online every week? Do you think that's more or less than most other people you know?

i managed to convince all of my friends to get gmail accounts so there is always at least one person on chat. so i usually check gmail, facebook, and my bbc rss news feed. i lovelovelove postsecret, but it only updates once a week (sob) so i try to only check it if i am having a bad day. i usually have contests with myself to see how long i can go without checking it (for those who dont know, it updates every sunday), i usually make it to tuesday, if that. hahahaha.
I check my email, blogs (not mine, but the ones I follow), Google News, PostSecret, Twitter, New Moon Girls, and sometimes quiz sites, Seventeen, People, and other random things :)
I LOVE postsecret!!!! It is amazing. I too try to save it for when I need it, but you just made me really curious to the new secrets. I've always wanted to send one in, but I'm slightly scared someone would recognize it. (I know that sounds ridiculous but still...)
Oh yeah, i like quiz sites even though i sometimes feel silly taking them, have you heard of quizilla.com?
Do any of you read webcomics? My friends read like all of them obsessively. Name one and I will know someone that can't go a day without reading it.
Sometimes my friends and I also read fmylife.com to laugh at other peoples misfortunes even though most of them are likely made up.
When I go on the computer (not for homework), first I check my email and then go on facebook. I have a website, but at the moment I moved URL's and I'm waiting until the summer to open it again. But when my site was open I spent a lot of time checking the comments and going to others' sites. Then I check G.I.R.L. and other various design sites like mine.
I've heard of quizilla and go on it sometimes, but more recently I've been taking quizzes on Facebook - an excellent way to procrastinate, yay!
I read fmylife a couple of times recently, and yeah, many of them are probably made up. They all begin with "today", too.
I've never been to PostSecret; what is it exactly?
I don't read webcomics, but once in a while I'll read manga online. It's free, but sometimes there are viruses on the sites.
Bahaha, fmylife. yeah, it probably is all made up, but whatever. a bunch of my friends have taken to quoting it at really akward moments, its pretty funny. and yeah, the all begin with today...because thats the format they have to be in to get accepted.
you have never seen postsecret?!?! i love introducing people to it, i have gotten so many people addicted to it.

go. now. you wont regret it.
Emma, yeah, I do that, too, but I have an extremely low level of dicipline :) so when I'm in a good mood, I usually don't go on the sadder message boards :) I also have always wanted to send one in, but as of now, I really don't have a huge secret. If I ever get one, maybe I'll send it.
Yeah, I go on quizilla.com sometimes. It depends what mood I'm in -quizilla is fun, random, user-created quizzes, so I can find out things like which Cullen sibling am I. Other times I'll take political and psychological quizzes, just for fun. I actually keep a computer file of my quiz results, and that's always funny to look back at.
I don't read webcomics, are they different than newspaper comics? Now I'm curious :)
Hannah, yes, you can take credit for introducing it to me! You posted about it a few months ago, maybe last year, and I went on it and enjoyed it. Then a few weeks ago, I felt like I really needed PostSecret, so I started an account and voila! Thanks!
This is random but.. Emma, I'm 99% sure I saw what you wrote about your little sister for the Beautiful Girls issue of New Moon; it was really sweet :) Congrats on getting published!
YES! That was my Beautiful Girls submission about my sister. Thanks :)
As for webcomics I'd look at questionablecontent.net, xkcd.com, wigu.com. They read some others I'm sure but these are the only one's I remembers at the moment.
I always check my email first....then facebook. (-: I normally visit those every day, and these others when I feel like it.
