What do you do when you're bored?

Postby oro! » Mon Oct 04, 2004 9:19 am

Just wondering. I mean, y'all must do something else than come here. Right, right? :grin:

I'm afraid that I haven't been bored in a very long, long time. Wait a sec ... that's a good thing! ;)

I sleep or write or juggle when I'm bored. If I'm bored in a setting like a classroom or a job then I either sing in my head or come up with lame story ideas that for some reason are fascinating while I'm standing staring at a conveyor belt, but not so interesting once written ...

If the computers are taken, I play videogames or watch TV. If those aren't available, I would probably go read an old issue of Shonen Jump. If no means of entertainment was available (or if I'm laying in bed), I just sit/lay there, thinking about anime.

Random Example: Me thinking, "I wonder exactly how so-and-so felt when so-and-so happened."

I can stay in bed for hours doing that!

Anything fun and silly I can do, somethings just playing with some little thing like tossing a pen or highlighter up and making it spin then catching it.

Yeah, on test days it sometimes comes to that for me. Or, I might play soccer with two pencils and an eraser. Usually, I bring a book or manga, though. Then, I try :waah!: to draw the characters.

If people are on the comp when I'm bored, I might write or clean--if forced to do so. Or I would take my dog for a walk, which I don't consider work because I like to see the childrens' reactions when they meet my dog: "Ooh, doggy! Does he bite?" ^_^

Isnt that list a little backwards? Homework is a last resort? :lol:

I think as long as you can come up with things to do, then you cant really be bored... Because you have somthing to do... Right?

If I have exhosted all possible things, Inclueding reading my Bible, some times I go through my old StarWars cards and work on my decks. I havent had any one to play the game with in 5 years, but you never know. O_o
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Nothing!

As soon as I start doing something, I'm not bored anymore.

I think it's a function of old age, but I really don't consider myself bored anymore. THere's always something to do to occupy your mind.
