This site is Australian Okay, I've been on the web for a while now. So I've accumulated a lot of bookmarks over the years. This is where I'm going to be putting them so I'm able to share them with others. There will be some vague sorting by category, but don't expect too much by way of coherence. Yes, I do tend to accumulate links to all sorts of things - they're even more chaotic in real life, trust me.
Some little warnings and notes:

I'm a text junkie. I'll read anything going. So I read blogs. Here's a few I like - some others can be found on my LiveJournal friends page
Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, I'll put in a space for Blog Carnivals (because those are cool, fun and heaps of interesting)

| The Australian Public Service Gazette | Australia Post | Bureau of Meteorology |
Information about all kinds of things which cause explosions, both literal and metaphorical. (The quote is from Crazy Harry in the Muppet Show).

I write fanfic, I read fanfic. It's fun, it's free, and it's something that interests me. So here's some fansites I read. Please note that rather than wearing myself out putting the "adult" warning on each individual story, it's on the whole darn section. You have been warned.

I consider myself a Feminist in the same way that I consider myself a human being - it's part of what I am, and part of what defines me. I don't believe my biological sex or sociological gender and sexuality identification should be used to classify what I can and can't do. I'm not alone in this - there's a lot out on the web about feminism.
I play a number of different games, and I'll tend to keep playing good ones. So here's some links to sites about the games.
| Dark Age of Camelot |
The Camelot Herald |
These are things which made me laugh, or which appealed to my (rather cynical) sense of humour. They may, or may not, appeal to yours.
These are links to sites I've provided as a response to working through the book 365 Ways to Change the World by Michael Norton (ISBN - 0-14-300451-4). They all originally appeared on my Livejournal. A lot of them are Australia-specific, since I live in this country, and the majority of the ones mentioned in the book are fairly general to the UK and US. I'll try to highlight the Australian ones.
I'm fond of music. So I tend to listen to a lot of it, and I'll chase around for the occasional website for some of my favourite artists. So here's some of those. I've included festivals in here.
| The Spooky Men's Chorale |
The National Folk Festival |
Cloudstreet |
The Amazing Compadres |
| Auckland Folk Festival |
Well, sometimes you do need to know how to do something. The internet knows all, the internet sees all, and I appear to have accumulated a bit of it.
While I believe in the existence of the paranormal; I also believe that we need to figure out what the normal is first. In the interests of such, I tend to follow the more sceptical line of thought wherever I can find it.
| CSI Online (Committee for Sceptical Inquiry) | The Sceptic's Dictionary | Suburban Myths | Gurubusters: Prabhir Ghosh |
| Australian Sceptics |
| T-shirt Hell | Lady Kayla Designs | Removals Central | Ikea Perth |
| The Wool Peddler - Recycled Silk Yarns | The Wool Peddler |
I take a large size in bras. I also don't like underwires. So over the years I've learned a lot about online shopping for bras. Here's the fruits of my meanderings.
| Bodywise/Full Bloom |
Bravissimo | Bare Necessities | Figleaves |
| Lane Bryant | Intimacy | Zodee Australia |

If you know me, you know I write for a hobby. So here's some of the links I've collected about the processes of writing, publishing, and all their associated disciplines.
I didn't know where else to put it. So it's here. I'll add more categories as I figure out what they should be.
