Musicovery.com is a free webradio with a difference. This is one of the first websites I discovered with SU, and made me realise how much fun the browsing app can be. Essentially, you can click on a small mood map depending on how you are feeling(where the vertical axis goes from energetic to calm, and the horizontal goes dark to positive) and not only will it generate a playlist, it also creates a visual map leading to a song and artist fitting to your mood. Genres are categorised by colour, and you can also browse by year. The best is that it will pick songs you may not have heard of or wouldn't have thought to listen to on your iPod. And it's free. www.musicovery.com will set you up.
Next, if you think you're having a bad day all you need to do is check in at one of the following sites depending on your mood. www.e-admit.com - confess your sins, it says in the header - is for the voyeur who doesn't want to actually see any dirty business, just wants to hear about it. Its an open forum where people who hate having some secret can air their grievances. Anonymously. That's the best part: anonymity = honesty. It's like your own little soap opera. Most are relationship related... that doesn't look right. Most are to do with cheating or having feelings for a forbidden other, but once in a while you get some gems:
I’m tired of lying to my friends and family, saying that everything’s fine. I’m tired of not having the ambition to do anything productive with my life. I’m tired of trying to be someone I’m not just because everyone else expects it of me. I’m tired of letting every opportunity pass me by because of my constant fear of failure. I have a flight that’ll take me miles away in a month, which I was already going to take for the summer, and I’m planning on trying to rebuild my life where it takes me. I’ve already been planning the note I’ll leave for my family to read, telling them that it has nothing to do with them except that my love for them is keeping me from killing myself instead.It opens up a side of you that you didn't know you had. How can these people have no one to talk to except a bunch of lurkers on a website? Heartaches all round.
For something a little lighter, F*** My Life has mini anecdotes galore, usually involving nosey or embarrassing parents, but not always:
Today, I didn't have any money to buy a tampon from the dispenser at my school but my hands are small enough so I can just slide them up and grab one. My hand got stuck in the dispenser and my school had to call the fire department. Now everyone calls me tampon girl.I'm not going to lie; I frigging love this site. Its juvenile, but it takes 10 seconds to read, and chances are it'll make you laugh.Today, a random girl called me asking for one of her friends. She wouldn't believe me when I told her she had the wrong number, and I spent few minutes convincing her she did. After a while she said "what the fuck" and hung up. That was the longest conversation I had with a girl in months.
I think that's it for now...
Except the very awesome trailer for the apparently awesome movie The Hangover.
By The Way: I miss English beer. Bishop's Finger of the Shepherd Neame brewery in Faversham, Kent, is like a tasted memory.
