    *Sigh*... I've been trying lately to avoid wedding stuff. Haven't been on the boards as much as usual, and trying to limit my Bee time to waiting stuff, but somehow the only other things that I end up being able to divert my attention to are the pricescope boards. GAH! (for those who don't know what I'm referring to, this basically equates to drooling over world-class, ridiculously amazing ring porn all the time) Not exactly great for taking my mind off waiting.

    I know really what I should be doing is get my butt off the couch and quit wasting time on the internet. But, I still have my down time here and there, and I feel like I need to be weaned slowly! So, rather than giving myself worse wedding-brain than I really need right now, I'd like to find some NWR things that are fun online. Facebook isn't really doing it for me either lately (too many people popping out babies or getting married). 

    Any ideas, girls? Blogs? Shopping sites? Other forums that are fun? I know you guys will have some good ideas for me!

    StumbleUpon is a great website that will become your new addiction.

    Yelp, PeopleofWalMart, Lamebook...

    cakewrecks.blogspot.com (fyi--sometimes has wedding cakes, but usually they are b-day or other celebration cakes. The site is HILARIOUS!!)

    Oh man, I'm glad I checked out this thread... awesome ideas! I've been looking at the Failbook site for the last like, 20 minutes, cracking up. Some people are just hilarious.

    Cake Wrecks is a wicked site too.

    You should check out http://1000awesomethings.com as well... the guy posts random things he finds awesome, and writes explanations. Insanely relatable... I'm sure you'll find tons on there that you'll enjoy.

    I know PP have mentioned these, but I have to second them - I love awkwardfamilyphotos.com and passiveaggressivenotes.com! Another hilarious one is hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com - there is one particular entry, "This is Why I'll Never Be an Adult" that makes me laugh every time!

    I love Goodreads.com! You can create bookshelves, keep track of everything you've read, read and write reviews, join groups, etc... it's kind of a social networking site for book nerds :D

    I'm not sure if you're a bookworm, but I read. I love our local library and I go about once a week and sit with a book and a cup of coffee and veg.

    damnyouautocorrect, not always right, sleeptalkingman, postsecret, peopleofwalmart, and if you have an open mind, liberal viewpoint & aren't easily grossed out, dan savages weekly column that comes out every wednesday. Do you watch Grey's? The writers have a blog (greyswriters) that they update after every new episode.

    Another great site/message board is twop (television without pity). Pretty much every single TV show ever made has its own discussion board. It's awesome. It does take up to a week for them to approve you for posting, but anyone can read.

    I like to read web comics! especially if it is an established strip then I can read through like hundreds of pages and waste oodles of time.

    questionablecontent.net is kinda like a sitcom, not stupendous, but funny and interesting at times. plus the art gets way way better as it goes.

    @missmouse29: Yea I love webcomics... I've been reading QC from the beginning and the artwork is SO different!

    Octopus Pie is another really great webcomic.
