What do you do when you're really bored?

[Ljs1121]

I've recently been doing some random drawings since it's 3:30 AM, I'm not tired whatsoever, and I have absolutely nothing better to do. I've drawn a llama with a top hat and I'm working on making a paper Majora's Mask. It seems like the creativity center of my brain is directly tied to the boredom gland. (aw snap all that neuroscience)

So, strangers on the Internet, what is your preferred activity to beat the boredom? Not semi-boredom, either. I'm talking about the full-blown "I'm going to stare at this spider for two hours because there is no greater joy that I could experience right now" style of boredom.

I either write or draw.

Usually I try drawing first, then remember that I completely suck at it and write something instead.

 

[Faulty Turmoil]

Masturbate. Oh come on! Someone had to say it!

I usually just browse the internet really.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

Draw, eat, play games, browse the web, or watch tv/movies

I don't have time to be bored. Its either "Being productive," or "I'm stealing this time because 'X' is making me too exhausted to move."

Just now, it was "oh god I hope my mother hasn't developed a chronic nerve disorder, can't sleep should be productive, go clean kitchen" and now, its "I'm tired but going to bed involves moving so its easier to just be on the internet so I don't get sleepy." And I've lost many an hour on this sort of situation. The weird health stuff doesn't help, either.

After an hour and a half, the spines of my Majora's Mask are done and glued on! Now I just have to sketch and color the face. It looks... absolutely terrible thus far. Oh well, I'm having fun.

Masturbate. Oh come on! Someone had to say it!

I usually just browse the internet really.

I was hoping we could at least get to page 2 without any references to masturbation. D:

Youtube/games. Find a new lets play that's actually good, and just marathoning it is fun.

 

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

Ponder or masturbate. Depends on what mood I'm in, usually it's pondering stuff.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Watch top 10 or play TF2.

 

[Jandau]

A better question would be "What do you do when you're bored and the power is out?"...

 

[Bertylicious]

My family has a saying: "Cherish every minute that you're bored because it means you have nothing to worry about."

I play computer games.

I have a process.
1: Grab some paper and pencils and draw something.
2: Realise how shit it is and cry.
3: Have a wank.
4: Work on the fanfiction I've been meaning to write for like 6 months now.
5: Wank again.
6: Read manga/watch anime till the wee hours of the morning.
7: Get up at 7:00 AM.
8: Repeat.

forums....

those damn forums

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

I like to stare blankly at the wall so my brain thinks about absolutely nothing...

Also sometimes I draw, sometimes I read these forums.

Just have a really long sleep. about 10-12 hours. That passes a lot of time.

Why I get drunk and type random crap on my favourite forum...The Escapist for those who haven't guessed yet ;-P>

 

[necromanzer52]

I watch anime. I watch movies. I play games. I practice martial arts.

I try not to just waste my time watching silly youtube videos, or playing solitaire or anything like that. Not when there are so many movies out there that I haven't seen yet.
