So you’ve just clicked through all 462 of your ex-boyfriend’s sister’s co-worker’s chiropractor’s daughter’s Facebook pictures. Besides your urgent need to get a life, next on the list is finding something better to do with your high-speed connection. You’re on CC, so at least you’re doing something right, but look no further than this blog, (And please stop poking people, it’s creepy) because I have for you three of the best internet sites on the web, you can thank me later. (Cash or checks, preferably.)

PostSecret.com
We all have them, but a beauty of a secret is in its release. Remember that All-American Rejects video for Dirty Little Secret? That idea is all thanks to this website. With a number of new secrets posted every week, it’s the first thing I check hung over on a Sunday morning…before I realize, mortified, how many drunken wall posts I haphazardly typed. (One to my cute Linguistics TA, waaaay to go) Read More »

Whenever I’m having a down day I tend to wallow in my own self pity.

Whether it be the choices I have made, the cards I have been dealt or the things I have seen, I don’t want to escape it. I want to embrace it; by listening to sad songs or reading sad stories.

On these days it is like nothing is better than feeling sorry for myself.

And the only way to get out of it - I have found - is to check in with other people in the world to remind myself that my life isn’t so bad…and that I am quite fucking lucky.

The best place to do this when OC Mix 1 just isn’t cutting it? Postsecret.com.

Solmaaz, another CC writer, has mentioned Postsecret before. Unlike my fellow CC’er, however, I don’t watch this site as some sort of guilty pleasure; rather, I watch it as a reminder of the very real things very real people deal with every day. Read More »

Cheating on your boyfriend with his best friend and the secret has your stomach gurgling-a-fire? Or better yet, do you just get off on listening to other people’s closet-ed stories of deception? Well then Girl, do I have a website for you.

PostSecret.blogspot.com is the most brilliant site I have ever seen, EVER! Here’s the premise:

A bunch of average nobodies anonymously write their own secrets down on a postcard and mail them to a blogsite to post. That’s it. Nothing more. Nothing less. Just secret after secret. Lie after lie. It is absolutely gorgeous. Really.

Yeah, yeah, I know you must think I am an incredibly shallow and morbid person- And maybe your right, but it takes one to know one, and I guarantee once you go there, you will be there for a while.

Dare ya.
