I am bored at the moment so i thought that i would start a new thread to see what you guys do when you are bored.

So, without further ado, WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO WHEN YOU ARE BORED??

I think about the character Dunbar, from Catch 22. He noticed that when he was bored, time seemed to slow down. He decided he could live forever if he could maintain a state of constant boredom.

When I'm bored, I savor the moment. My life has been sadly lacking in boredom lately.

I read posts labeled "Boredom."
 
LOL

so far today i have tidied and hoovered my room...god I am bored! hopefully i will go out tonight if i can persuade Andy that he wants to go drinking again tonight.
 
I always visit either espn.com cnn.com or fark.com and catch up on some news
 
Boredom? As in having time with nothing to do? OMG, I can't even remember the last time I had an actual free moment as opposed to putting something critical on hold while I do something else (like when I pop in here). I have WAY too much to do. Chopnik, savor the free time, you may never have it again.
 
Yeah usually i enjoy free time but with no-one to spend it with it just wastes away, I am looking at alternative measures...maybe i can steal someone elses idea!

Keep posting people!
