From A to Z, the sites that show up at the top of the list whenever I type a single letter into Firefox's URL bar:

A: One of my college's student organizations, a group where I was recently promoted to Secretary. The power.

B: This forum, of course.

C: My college's student portal, where you check your e-mail, register for classes, view student records, and do other exciting college-y things.

D: DeviantArt. I haven't been checking that devious art site as much lately, but I still go there on occasion.

E: ESPN's soccer section. I spent a lot of time checking the World Cup fixtures when registering for summer classes, trying to make sure that my class schedule wouldn't conflict with too many big games!

F: The MFGG forums.

G: Google. Surprise, surprise.

I: A fangaming site that someone recently asked me to check out, although it's a bit of a work in progress.

J: My college's page for job listings.

K: Seagate's technical support page. A frequent source during my Hardware Configuration class, and I'm still trying to figure out how to get my old Seagate drive to work on a computer newer than a Tandy.

L: LinkedIn. It can be fun and useful for finding information and networking, although the "featured articles" vary in quality.

M: MFGG.

N: Neoseeker. Another site I used to submit my game strategy guides, although my FAQ-writing motivation has dwindled in the past five years.

O: Purdue University's writing resources - in particular, the APA formatting guide, because I had lots of APA papers to write in my Organizational Behavior class.

P: Pearson Vue. I went here a lot while I was getting a specific technical certification.

Q: The Wall Street Journal's stock quotes section. I mostly used this to find out information about Jacksonville-based railroad CSX, which was the topic of a paper in my OB class.

R: I wish it was the "Recent Changes" page on the MFGG Wiki, but it's actually a site whose initials are RMP. Yes, I go there. The reviews are sometimes useful once you look past the troll reviews and the rave reviews, though.

S: JaxSupport. Hardly anyone posts there any more, but I go there for old time's sake.

T: Twitter. I tweet stuff on occasion.

U: A unicode table. I've used this a few times in my Java class.

V: VGMusic.com. Every once in a while I just have to listen to MIDI arrangements of video game music, although this site is only a shell of its once-vibrant self.

W: The MFGG Wiki.

X: NOAA's record of Jacksonville's weather for March 2014.

Y: YouTube. I'm not nearly as big a YouTuber as a lot of folks, but I do go there on occasion.

Z: A Zelda wiki. A good source for times when you need to hear the mummy-mashing music from Majora's Mask.

I think I'll do it too. (My history has been turned off for a while, so this is all either old stuff or bookmarks.)


A - A now-defunct Tumblr ask blog I checked out when my friend suggested it to me. (It was dealt a death blow by SJWs, though it apparently was secretly near its natural end anyway.)

B - Bibby Team. Pretty nice place, I hear.

C - Careers page of the website of the place my friend works: Metrics, Inc.

D - Double Rainboom. Just an MLP fan animation thing from some time ago. I think it got died; I haven't kept up too much with it or similar stuff.

E - Every2minutes. I never much liked "giveaway" promotions that were based on how many things you bought of a certain brand in exchange for codes, nor did I ever trust that hackers weren't generating their own codes, so I didn't actually bother with this.

F - MFGG forum. I think I've been there once or twice.

G - Google. Makes sense.

H - Halo website. I'm not really a fan of the series anymore.

I - Imageshack? Ick. I always hated that site.

J - Bibby Team again. Must really be a nice place.

K - "Kraysee"'s Deviantart page. Apparently it was deactivated. (edit: This may not be what I thought I remembered it being. Still, it's a shame for whatever was there to have gone away.)

L - live.xbox.com - Makes sense; that base site loads whenever I sign in to the Xbox site.

M - Gmail. It is quite useful.

N - NCFC forums.

O - Sonic Retro. I tend to check that place for progress on a certain hack and some development insider guy's talks about what the future holds for Virtual Reality. (VR is really really really good in present time, apparently.)

P - Random links to pages on the MFGG forum.

Q - Nothing even close to Q appears in the URL bar, just random stuff.

R - Sonic Retro again.

S - Signavatar. It's pretty nice for having that whole simplified random avatar thing.

T - YouTube subscription listing page.

U - Gmail again. One other thing that appeared in the bar was a 502 error I got on YouTube once.

V - VinnyVideo's Tumblr. I like reading what this guy has to say about stuff.

W - MFGG Wiki. Not to be confused with the MFGG Wookiee.

X - Xbox.com.

Y - YouTube.

Z - A bunch of links to Mediafire pages which had Nite's musics.

Swear warning on some of these.



I don't use history, so letters only return my bookmarks. Any time the first result was NSFW I tried going with the next result and so on but some letters only had NSFW results so I couldn't post the links on this site.
