What do you do when you're bored out of your gourd?

I sit here tonight, just after 8pm, bored out of my freakin mind.

Let me list some things I could do but have no interest in:

Reading.
-I have at least 8 books to read, perhaps nine, that I just have no desire to read.
Watching assorted tv
-I have to finish Buffy season 7 again
-and I also have a handful of movies I could watch
Playing assorted games
-Wii, DS, WoW, SotNW, Transformers PC, GTA San Andreas PC, nothing's tickling the fancy.
-There's no one to play Magic with. (The Gathering.)
Writing
-I've been creatively dry for at least two weeks
-Which is frustrating because a couple characters want something to do but they're just sitting and bouncing legs as if to say "okay we're ready, do something with us."
-And I have at least five stories that I've begun but not touched in a while.

Going out to the movies appeals but I don't want to go alone and well all my possible movie buddies (er, possible movie buddette) now seems to have a boyfriend.

And the dating interest/girlfriend/lady friend is out of town.

I'm half packed for my trip already.

I could clean my room, but... ugh it's just SO hot.


Wow I really can NOT wait to get to Texas and get unbored!

Well it is too late, but I would say just get up, bite the bullet, and do something out of your comfort zone (however small you want to go is fine). There times in you life when you just need time alone, you might even like being able to pick up on a whim and go and do want you want and not have to worry about coordinating your schedule with someone else's.

There will be plenty of time later in life when you develop a serious relationship where that will have to be a major consideration.

I swear I don't even know you sometimes. You never want to try stuff outside of your comfort zone. Remember the rodeo? I will never let you forget the rodeo, Mike. THE RODEO.

What do I do when I'm bored out of my mind? It's actually been awhile since that's happened. Poser takes up my time at home, and work takes up my time at work. I'm writing two stories at the moment, and one of them I'm thinking of doing as a graphic novel with Poser...though postwork is still a pain in the rear. I really don't have time to be too bored.

i met the nerdiest stupidest motherfucker on the planet today.

oh, and.. the most fucked up looking dude. I would've taken a pic but i dont think 'spontaenous combustion' is covered by my phone's warranty.

he had man titties, a pot gut, was not even 21 years old, smoked like a chimney, had a nick nolte beard ( and the beard was sporting a nick nolte hairstyle at the same time ), these nasty 70s thick brown-clear rimmed glasses with telescope lenses in them.

and all he could talk about was getting doped up, on weed or heroine, or whatever. I dont know.

He killed my buzz every time he opened his god damn mouth. I never got drunk enough to tell him to shut the fuck up and hang himself.

thats what i did today for being bored.

Though I HATE talking on the phone, next time I'm bored I should call my grandma...I know she'd love hearing from me, and I also feel good after I talk to her.
