What do you do when you're really bored?

[gorfias]

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

Excellent.
1) Being a modern tech junky, see what I can do on battery (android tablets, laptops that can play minesweeper and DVDs for as much as 4 hours).
2) One of these days, one of them, I am going to learn how to string that stupid guitar with the screws at the top of the neck and re-learn how to play "Amazing Grace." That's assuming that it is daylight.

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

I usually just browse the internet really.

I was wondering how many posts that would take. Tis' often the first reply.

- I play bass, write or if I'm really bored I pop in an RTS.

 

[Starik20X6]

I've drawn a llama with a top hat

Spoiler: Carl! There is a dead human in our house!

As for me- I play games, play with LEGO, watch cartoons/TV shows/maybe a movie.

 

[White_Lama]

Skyrim
Minecraft
TF2

or I'll just look through the same webpages I usually do hoping something new has popped up.

 

[teebeeohh]

browse forums, watch old futurama, cook, ponder things, write down shit i think about and then neatly file it(which is not as dumb as it sounds since this frequently provides me with fully fleshed out arguments on random topics.
oh and mastrubate

If I haven't masturbated that day: Masturbate.
If I have masturbated and want to spare the agony of doing it twice: Play games or read stuff on here or Reddit or watch movie or eat.

 

[StormShaun]

Well I have a few.

- Screwing around in games.
- Go to the city.
- Watch DvDs/Anime.
- Go biking.
- Go internet surfing.

I have more, but these are the most popular options. ^_^

When I'm truly bored that not even games, movies or books catch my interest? Lay on my bed and ponder about the futility of my laying on my bed being bored. Does that make sense?

 

[surg3n]

I work on a game, like it's good to have little projects, basic games, Game Maker or whatever my brain can muster. I tend not to get bored very often, more likely to be insomniac than bored, but it's the same thing - give the brain a little treat, remind it that you still care, and it tends to let me sleep, or at least shut up.

iPhone/iPod/iPad games are pretty handy as well - especially Monopoly. I mean, playing against 3 AI players, I can get through a game in 30 minutes, good old Monopoly needn't take 7 hours, cause divorce, bloodshed etc - just eliminate the human element and your set.

 

[Shinsei-J]

Dick around on my Ipad mostly, manga,games and internet, it's got it all.
I also love making custom content for pathfinder and the Steampunk D20s.

I'm no stranger to boredom, my go to remedies are:
- Browsing
- Drawing
- Watching Tv
- Smoking Weed
- Playing Games

 

[Jark212]

Play a videogame, read a book, mess around online, go for a walk. Theres not a lot of fun stuff to do on US Military base...

 

[burningdragoon]

If by bored you mean bored and without desire to do anything, I hit refresh on these forums more frequently. Or I just sit and... pretty much just sit.

Playing games, reading stuff on the internet, and also doing more productive stuff that I sometimes end up doing are desirable states, not boredom or boredom-fixing states.

 

[The Ubermensch]

I Drop It


Option 1 - Game
Option 2 - Anime
Option 3 - Draw (even if I don't have pencils, a brio will do)
Option 4/0 - Try and kill myself... not in a suicideiy way, in a telling saint peter "Did you see that shit!?!" way.
Option 5 - I guess I exercise now when I get bored... I get a major endorphin high, as with Option 4/0
Option 6 - Sleep; I can lucid dream
Option 7 - Rock out to music... again I have a visual reaction to auditory stimuli
Option 8 - Introspect, like now

On some level I'm doing at least 4 of these all the time

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

I clean. Yeah, I know.

I also catch up on games I haven't finished (lord knows I have a lot), read books (with a Kindle, a new one is always at my fingertips), bother my dog.

Depending on the time (and my mood), I might call my friends up and hang out.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Either one of these things-

Try to play an old game of my.
Take naps well rest my eyes.
Surf the net.
Rewatch one of my films or watch the commentary version.

If I have no internet however-
Just make notes on my superheroes ideas (a personal thing).

 

[anthony87]

I tend to masturbate furiously.

And when I'm bored I'll read a book ^_^

 

[Tiger Sora]

Look at the news, online or TV. Eventually I've read or seen the new stuff and go to one of the many games I can play.
