I'm bored stiff right now. Luckily, I have military marches and other songs to keep me up. What do you other bored people do to keep yourselves sane?

A friend of mine said, after quiting pot for a while, that he suddenly remembers what it's like to be bored.

Well, considering we joined at the same time and you have 4,574 more posts then me I guess I know what you do to alleviate the boredom! :p

Me? I am usually able to keep myself from boredom without really doing anything specific, if I am bored doing what I'm doing then I stop doing it and do something else ;)

Haha. Well, I've (literally) got nothing else to do, so that's that!

I've always wanted an airsoft AK-47. Looks a helluva lot cooler than Paintball!

Theres always something else to do! Have you tried inventing a new way of automating your daily life by lets say... umm... glueing chopsticks together to form a long pole with enough reach to turn off your bedroom light that's not by the bed? :D

I get fucked up. One of the nice things about weed is it makes boredom tolerable. Nothing really even has to be going on, as long as I'm lit I can deal with it.

Then again its hard to be bored when you have as many games and movies as I do.

When I'm bored I do a semiotic analysis of Rembrandt's "Night Watch" about 1000 words in length with all of my arguements supported by quotes from reliable sources. You'd better get cracking, I expect it on my desk tommorow. ;)

I like to blindfold myself and hang upside down and disassemble weaponry and put it back together before my nose starts to bleed. :)

Play on general. And if nothing entertaining is happening there, either make it entertaining or buzz over to moderation, something interesting is always there. If all else fails I go out side and do something active.

I only ever get bored at work, or while waiting for people.

I have too many activities to do the rest of the time. I just make sure that I have at least three constructive activities I can do entirely on my own, and at least one I can do with my girlfriend. Then whenever I have nothing to do, I pick whichever I feel most like doing, and get on with it.

At work, I browse NS boards during the more boring jobs, and I work on small chunks of code for an online game I'm involved in if I have chunks of time without work to do. Or plan what sort of code I'd want to write if I have to spend time working.

when I'm waiting for people, and don't know how long it'll be, I do get bored. I tend to carry my ipod or a book with me, music often goes a long way to avoiding boredom. I'm also rarely bored when there are people around to chat with.

perhaps I'm just easily amused.

I usually post here when I'm bored. 12,000 posts should give you a good indicator of how much I have going on in a normal day.

I take you an exlcusive tour. Stop numer one, the road to Sdaeriji's house. It's quite the drive. Please notice the amusing road signs. Very fitting.
