BORED!

[Zulu Romeo]

OMG.

I have come to the conclusion that today, Sunday 14th February 2010, is officially for me the first boring day of 2010. Nothing much happened of note, and my mind was completely numb with things to do and experience, but due to several adverse circumstances many of these couldn't be done.

Therefore I decided to go early back to my digs (for a change) and even then the boredom grabbed hold of me. So, all of a sudden, I decided to sing while in the car, driving down. No backing music on the radio or CD player, just a song or two that was in my head. Long story short, eventually I was no longer bored.

So.... how do you all relieve boredom?

I come here and read posts like this one and try to think of a response. Great way to kill time.

You see, that's another symptom of the problem. Sometimes I'm even too bored to do that.

Uuu, know the feeling.
I hear musik. Really loud, Green day at the moment.

I don't sing. Nobody, not even me wants to hear that.

I can't imagine boredom. There are so many things I want to do-- mostly in the form of reading or writing, or some other experience or creation of Art-- that I am sometimes paralyzed with mental overload. I could keep busy until the heat death of the Universe if allowed.

I can't imagine boredom.

I am bored about half of my day, everyday.

Actually I have to agree Zion. Today has been awfully fulfilling.

This morning I got up with the intention to clean but that ended up taking 1/3 the time I expected. (That's what I get for being home all week and doing a little as I go.) I then went out for a little while to do some shopping but the weather was not cooperating. I was gone about an hour and half before the sleet drove me back home. I then decided to catch up on a few work related things until I realized I had the wrong files and wouldn't be able to get the correct ones until tomorrow. Then I decided to watch some some tv but I just couldn't sit still long enough actually get into anything. So for the last hour I have been walking the floors, talking to my tribble and going absolutely out of my mind. I think maybe I will sing next. That sounds good.

During the week, I usually have about twenty websites I frequent to keep me busy during slow times. Most of them are not very active on the weekends... except this one. I just haven't found very many threads I wanted to post in here though.

Same here. TBBS is a great distraction for me from personal problems and all the clutter in my mind.

This is absolutely terrible. Now I know why you remind me of a guy I know! He always seems so terribly bored, and I've never quite understood it.

I just haven't found very many threads I wanted to post in here though.

Isn't that the worst? I'm a night owl so the board's not as active when I'm most interested in posting. And the few threads that will be active are things I'm simply not interested in.

I was passed out most of the day.

Sometimes it seems half the stuff I do is just finding ways to kill some time, rather than being stuff I want to do.

I get annoyed with myself whenever I realize I'm doing that.

I was at an oilers game...then i came home and searched for music i havent heard in forever while watching the olympics.

Surfing the bbs does tend to help

I wasn't bored yesterday. For the first half of the day I had a really bad headache and pain generally stops me from complaining about boredom. Once the pain stopped mid-afternoon I started doing things that I had wanted to do in the morning but could not do.

I play Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook.

What is your high score?

 

[Deckerd]

Not telling. I'm not setting myself up for ridicule.

I never get really bored per se. But i sometimes do get into 'chicken without a head' mode where i cannot concentrate or focus on anything. I end up walking in circles accomplishing nothing. When it gets that bad i will usually pop in a movie and just vegetate.

I really hate that mode. I feel like the oldest undiagnosed person with ADD.

 

[AstroSmurf]

^ I think that was my problem yesterday. I just couldn't focus long enough to get anything done. But I know that I am not ADD. I just get lost in my own head sometimes.

And today I have accomplished more in the last three hours than I did all day yesterday. Today I am far from bored. Today I am on fire.

 

[RegFan]

I'm rarely ever bored. It's hard to get bored if you read TV Tropes regularly and have an unlimited Internet access.

I hate that running in circles thing. Fortunately I don't experience it that often. I love that expression "today I am on fire". I'll be using that one from now on!
