Miss Amelia (missameliatxva) heyy--
this is kind of like Youtube recommendations, except it can be all sorts of cute, awesome, weird, or funny sites you've found!

* Ohh, and if you have your own sites, or blogs, you can showcase them here! Do a little bit of self-promotion ;))

-this is a youtube channel, but its really funny. There is also a website to go with it. FAILBLOG-really funny!


message 6: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (flyinglogicmonkey) | 2426 comments Yeah, FAILBLOG is funny. Sometimes it can get inappropriate, but thankfully, there is a "show only g-rated content" option. FAILBLOG is actually where I found Oddly Specific.
