Bored. Bored. Lonesome and bored. (True whine)

[ionic_angel]

So.

I'm bored.

Typically, I get bored when there is nothing fun to do. Right now I have plenty to do that would be fun, I just don't feel like doing it.

What I feel like doing is hanging with friends and doing something atypically wild. Unfortunately, anyone under the age of 28 and over the age of 18 moves out of this town as soon as they can, for which I can't blame them. Unless, of course, they're in construction, in which case I usually find that their preferred topics and techniques of conversation usually deplete my IQ or my temper. So, I'm sitting in my apartment staring at my screen, reading forums and eating M&Ms for dinner.

Yes, I know it's bad for me. Go away.

Yes, I do suppose I could get up and do something interesting, but frankly, there's not much to do besides read, write, or clean stuff up. So I'm going to clean up my room, think about how I can finish my degree soon, and move out of this place, hopefully to Sacramento or further south.

You know, where there are people.

(Not that I'm trying to sound emo, but this town is pretty much a tourism and retirement town, and I think I'm going to go stark raving nuts if I don't get someone to talk to soon. Not that you can't talk to older people - I do, but sometimes you want someone who is not far more experienced at life to talk to. Correct?)

If you're bored then you're boring

Meh, I don't think so. I think it's more a loneliness thing, combined with the fact that I can't realistically do anything about it tonight, so I gotta wait until tomorrow. That usually creates frustration, since I can't get instant gratification. :-P

But I'm happier now...listening to some Sisters of Mercy and all that. Much fun.

And I apologize for this being a truly annoying "I'm all alone" thread, but I did say it was a whine. Besides, friends are getting here tomorrow, so it's all good.

Haha one word, Masturbation. ^_^

There's loads to do! Read, write, watch something on youtube, draw. Learn about a branch of philosophy (easy to do online), or read a novel (also doable online for the classics). Or load up your MP3 with music and go for a long walk - I do this a lot with a couple of cans of beer in my bag, then when you get somewhere nice like a park, sit down and enjoy it for a while.

Or just go to www.southparkzone.com. Best site ever.

I can understand the boredom; Loudoun is much the same way. Get regular exercise as it will at get you moving and at least temporarily give you something to do. I learned how to bake and I did a good deal of beading, even if you don't really like either of those just about any hobby is the same as they take a good deal of time, are engaging, and are rewarding because you accomplish something with your own hands

Whenever I am SO bored than I am to bored to do something that is not boring, I read.

I think I'm going to take up sewing. :-) Sewing my own stuff, anyway.

I always thought knitting was fun. I used to knit random bits and bobs when I was a kid.

[LaBelleDameSansMerci]

I hate being bored like that. Usually when I get that way I hide in the studio... Of course, I hide in the studio most of the time anyway.

And I know what you mean by wanting someone with the same amount of experience. Half the time, I can't identify with people my age because I hardly ever talk to them... Though it's better now that I'm at University.

Where? I can never seem to find any books online without a fee.

Bear hugs Ionic_angel for saving her from boredom and overpriced chain bookstores.

Hey! Hey! Underage! Underage!

[Duane]

Why not take up recording videos, and uploading them on youtube? That's what I plan on doing, in fact, I plan to make a video on Homosexuallity tomorrow... I mean, 8 hours from now, or something.

I just really want to say something about all those idiots who go around labeling people fags, and bash on Fred Phelps.

[ionic_angel]

Well, partly because I don't record well. And partly because I don't have a recorder.

And I'm not really dedicated to a cause or anything. I mean, besides Christianity, but that's not something I try to Youtube about...I just try to be like Christ to people.

But, I'm not bored right now, so things are good.

[Duane]

I'm not too dedicated to a cause myself, but I do believe in LGBT rights, and that they deserve to be treated as humans, because they are humans.

Oh, I believe they should be treated as humans as well. Which means I'm generally against the way they're treated in countries like, say, Iran.

On the other hand, I think that people have an equal right to view their lifestyle as unacceptable, as long as those people tolerate them.

[Duane]

It's okay okay to view their lifestyle as unacceptable, just don't insult them for choices they make, or do what the phelp's family would do.
