How do you handle boredom?

Heh, heh, you don't want to know.

Games... DVD.... Homework.... programming...
I always have something to do its just a matter of weather I want to be a slacker and put it off or not. Speaking of which... *leaves*

I usually surf around the internet a bit. Tend to end up here or at Cracked.com.

I'm rarely bored because I occupy myself so easily with the internet and music.

Ah, the ADD-inducing effects of the world-wide-web...

Boredom is killed once I have access to a video game console and a TV, but when that fails I usually log on onto my laptop and go online. Usually on youtube looking up classic videogame soundtracks or on TVTropes looking up tropes in anime, videogames, etc.

Sometimes even reading a book. Currently reading 1984.

I murder people relentlessly.

 

[cookieXkiller]

i set fire to stuff
i listen to music and i txt my gf

 

[rupyTN]

I spam forum threads ...

or play Eve, which can be a bit counter intuitive if trying to battle boredom, (I really hope the Sansha incursion from Jan 25 onwards works out).

Ok what the heck is the knife game?

Like the OP described. You take a knife and skip it between your fingers. As a child I use to practice with a pencil, eraser side down of course. Then I upgraded to the sharpened side. And by thirteen I was using a butterfly knife. Funny how the parents would always notice the holes in bedroom wall from missed knife-throws, but never noticed the band-aids on the fingers from slipped skips.

And like the OP, I too prefer the 1213141516 pattern over the straight 123456 or 12345654321. For some reason just seems more natural.

I pop in a dip and watch some TV show, which is getting pretty hard now that I dont have TV or a decent internet connection...

If I can not find anything to do (very very rare) or I am on a really long flight path I will;

1. Stumble: that thing could keep me going for hours
2. Go play a round of COD:Black Ops
3. Read something

the dumbest thing I have done when bored was I looked up math problems to do. I know...why math? long story short stumbled on "how to read binary" when I was waiting for games to download and decided it might be fun to see how my math skills were holding up.

pretty good I must say XD
