What are your favorite Web sites for when you're feeling blue? What sites cheer you up (besides Cheezburger and Shorpy)? What's always interesting? Recommendations?
I find when I am feeling blue it is really good for me to get the heck off the internet, because it's far too easy to blow far too much time and it really never helps. But that's in the perfect world, and in reality it ends up being stuff like stupid pet tricks on YouTube.
I'd all but forgotten about pixxelpuss' suggestion of orisinal...that is a very happymaking site, for sure, full of pretty things.
Often, blue or not, I find that pointing and laughing (http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/) makes me happy. Is it petty and childish? Perhaps, at least until you know the rules and discover that all the material for mocking comes from the people getting mocked. Also, when it's slow, a bit of history (http://wiki.fandomwank.com/index.php/Main_Page) helps. Sometimes more traditional history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hittites) serves better. Usually learning something improves my mood.

Because I'm a small, small man.
