Say that you have homework that you really don't want to do or some other activity that you would rather just avoid. I have compiled here for your edification and enlightenment how to avoid doing what you are supposed to be doing and instead waste time on the internet!
1. Fanfiction.net.: Any and every random ending, character pairing, and crossover you can think of has been written about on this site. It is really really hilarious, often badly written, and occasionally downright scary what people come up with. Also, if you read enough fanfiction, you will begin to forget what actually happened in the movie/book/tvshow/anime/cartoon that you are reading fanfics of. I read so much Harry Potter fanfiction that I became convinced that Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood got married and that Neville succeeded Dumbledore as headmaster. I was really surprised when I reread The Deathly Hallows and this did not happen.
2. Blogs (such as the one you are reading now!): Blogs can take you to the ramblings of any mind on the planet. Some of my favorites are theoatmeal and hyperboleandahalf. blogs teach us that life in this century is really just looking at the crazy things you did, realizing how crazy they were, and posting them on the internet. Sometimes with pictures. I will start posting my own hilarious pictures again when I finally get my de-spywared computer back from the computer people and can use MSPaint again.
3. Random games: You have no idea how much I adore random games on the internet. Well, you do now... Below are some of my super favorites:
-texttwist: Part of yahoo games. You can play a free version on the internet! It is basically a game of magical anagram finding. This game will make you a master of Boggle* too!
-dynomite: Available from popcaps games. You get to smash dinosaur eggs of the same color to get points. Excellent sound effects! I really enjoyed this game.
-Wordbubbles: This is part of luminosity.com, a site that is supposed to make your brain better. It was recommended to me by hyperboleandahalf. This game is basically awesome. It is very similar to texttwist, but instead of doing anagrams you have to come up with as many words with the same two letters of varying lengths that you can. This game is also a Boggle* booster.
4. Facebook: Welcome to a world of knowing what everyone you have ever met is doing whenever they post about it. You can laugh at the hilarity and live vicariously through the lives of your epic friends and swap inside jokes and amusing comments with whomever you want. There are quizzes and random games and anything your little heart could desire to help you delay homework for just a little while longer.
5. The Cheeseburger Network: This includes such favorite sites as icanhazcheeseburger, failblog, and verydemotivational. There are loads and loads of pages of hilarious misadventures happening to other people. There are cats acting entirely too adorable and spelling badly. What's not to love? I have managed to waste hours at a time on this site.
6. Youtube: This is probably the single greatest internet time waster known to man. And possibly to any aliens who are picking up the signals being sent from earth into outer space. Everyday gazillions of new random things are uploaded. You will never ever ever be able to watch everything, but I challenge you to try and witness the amazing amount of time that you waste.

* I challenge everyone who reads this to a Boggle match. Not to toot my own horn or anything but I will beat you, probably by an embarrassing margin. If, on the other hand, my boasting proves in vain and you unseat me from my Boggle throne, I promise to do a blog in your honor about whatever you want me to blog about, provided that it is PG-13.
