Back in the day--okay, not that far back--let's go with a few years ago, I had a geocities page. It was not nearly as fun or bedecked as everyone else's page, but it served my evil purposes. Which was, mainly, to put up original fic. I kinda cringe at that, now, because man, was that stuff bad. Throughout the years, my very changeable page served to host a few pictures of my travels and a travel log, some horrendous poetry, and, finally, a mirror of my delicious tags. As far as I'm aware, no one ever actually read my website. *grins*
Anyway, I got notice geocities was closing, but it seemed like too much work to transfer everything anywhere else, and downloading proved to be a frustrating and somewhat worthless endeavor, as everything I had on the site I can either find again on some hard drive or disk or disc, don't care about seeing ever again, or have in a hard copy format. (And no, there was no fic on there, except fic that can also be found elsewhere online, and fic that was written before I graduated HIGH SCHOOL. We do not speak of this.)
However, in honor of the end of an era, I link you to this tribute: The Internet's Lament.

cleolinda's twitter directed me to The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, which is a free online YA novel, and is still in progress, unfortunately enough, because I spent quite a while reading it and now I want to know how it ends. I found myself quite drawn in by the description and whimsy of the characters--and the narrator. I love narrators who have a sense of humor.
How many of you, like me, have a few old T-shirts that you will never wear but can't quite bear to throw out because they were the apartment shirt your junior year in college, and you liked that apartment a lot? I was finally fed up enough with them that I googled, trying to find some idea of how to recycle them, since I don't think Goodwill would do a very good job of wanting them, and found this idea for turning them into shopping bags. (Also, if there are other ideas for recycling old T-shirts, let me know in the comments.)
