What do you do when your bored?

[JustinNed]

I've been home from work now for only 4hrs and find myself to be incredibly bored after roaming forums for the past 2 hours. Thus, leading me to create this thread.

What's your cure for boredom/what do you do for fun in spare time.
NOTE: The answer 'use drugs' is too cliche, so let's keep fun stuff to non drug related topics for the most part.

When bored, I enjoy reading, researching, and taking things apart to learn how they work. So how `bout it guys?

i call up friends.. read novels, make or listen to music, play video games, go for walks and bike rides!

I watch a lot of documentaries, read books, hang out with friends, make music.


And yes, I usually smoke a big fat joint simultaneously.

CURES,
Guitar hero (or is that a ''drug'' to?)
having fun whit my 2 cats
music
taking a walk
counting the number of strokes of the pastering,
and after that counting the lines in the strokes,(each stroke is different you'll see!)
and after that you take a magic marker,
and you ONLY color the middle lines of the strokes of the pastering :smirk:

Lol I often come here when I'm bored ^^
Or I play videogames.
Or if I have energy I do some jogging or swimming.
I also like to listen to music... and sing when I'm alone

mhm there are basically 2 kinds of boredom...the lethargic one and the active one.

During the lethargic, I am extremely bored but I have no energy to do anything...that's the worst time one can ever have.

During the active one, I read a book, play videogames or work...

I also enjoy knitting/quilting, taking long walks on the beach, curling up on the couch with a good book or a movie and having romantic dinners.

I just watched a good movie called dead end. :thumbsup:

I'm too hysterical to be bored. More, I need to stop sometimes because my mind is going too fast and I want to move slowly. When this happens I meditate.

im not too prone to boredom. if i do get bored i usually go for a walk in the countryside, or go fishing. i dont buy fish for ethical reasons - the only fish i eat are those i catch. very occasionally i go out drinking with my friends

 

[mysticwarrior]

Programming and designing websites. Like everyone else, i`l go for a walk and i take my dogs with me. Visit some friends or talking to strangers... Researching information on the internet. Or i just take my car, and go to Amsterdam(190KM) away and buying/eating some fallafel at the MAOZ over there...

And yes, I usually smoke a big fat joint simultaneously.

This one works fantastic

 

[magickmumu]

If you want to fish around here you need a fishing permit.

And with it you can only fish in your own district. it sucks.

 

[mysticwarrior]

fishing = bored

 

[JustinNed]

Programming and designing websites.

Wow really? I use to program a FinalFantasy4 fan game over the internet and programming that was not only mind numbing but tedious. There's nothing like writing lines of codes for hours and than when you compile you get an error and you gotta go find that ONE typo. P

mhm there are basically 2 kinds of boredom...the lethargic one and the active one.

During the lethargic, I am extremely bored but I have no energy to do anything...that's the worst time one can ever have.

I agree, I guess I generally find myself on the Lethargic side when I'm bored, and as you said, "that's the worst time one can ever have." I find that this can lead to feeling depressed.
So I'm like 16 hours in to not smoking any marijuana, which is a long time for me, as I generally start smoking when I wake up before work, and stop when I go to sleep on a daily basis; and quite bored. A well needed break though, hopefully I can maintain not smoking pot for a couple of more days. Hrm, I might be a little drunk... ^_^

Eating.

I'm happy that my metabolism doesn't stock up on fat, otherwise I'd surely weight 130 kgs.
