Emain Macha, home of some excellent fiction and a journey in search of self.
Brett's Page, with lots of fun stuff, animal pictures and stories, and rants about cancer and Native American wannabes... and a William Fichtner website.

Ghost Planet Absurdist humor lives! Don't miss the Prancing Ponies
This is the end It's a funny-once, but worth the click

Psychic Puppy Reveals Your Past Lives Only on the internet can you find incisive and useful info like this. Moderately graphic intensive, so if you're on a molasses connection like mine, go get a sandwich while you wait.
QueenDom Tests Love to take tests and quizzes? A sucker for every slick-mag quiz you see? This site's for you. At last tally, it featured more than 150 fully interactive tests and quizzes on everything from intelligence to sex to careers to critters and more.

Miscellaneous
Amphigory Go, and be thou a blood-sucking vampire goth sorta groovy person. For all your black lipstick and fake blood needs.
Implicit Association Test Both fascinating and vaguely disturbing, this test reveals deep-seated prejudices that many of us like to believe we've gotten beyond. Take the test at least once without reading any of the material. It's serious food for thought.
