What do you do when you're bored?

What do you do when you're bored?

Post by Wutai »

I don't know about you, but I can NEVER find anything to do.
Most days I just sit around trying to think of stuff to do.

Last Summer I was so bored that I couldn't wait for school.

What do you suggest for really bored people to do?
This is a joke about unfunny jokes. And bad use of irony.

Damn, I've got over 1,000+ video games in my house for over 15 different consoles. I have a computer in every room and I go adventuring in the vast woods around my house regularly. I can walk to Wal-Mart, the video store, Kroger, Publix, the Mall, and anywhere else whenever I please. I'm not obligated to do homework unless it fits into my schedule and I don't have a bedtime.

I can't really say that I know how it feels to be bored. I'm usually depressed because I don't have enough time to just sit at home and do nothing. It's seriously a reward for me to be locked in my room.

Dev. :)

I agree with Gyrovorbis almost 100%. My room in my love. I can be entertained and please myself in there any time. And, if hell froze over and I got bored of it, I can waltz next door to Gyrovorbis's room. :)

No we aren't.

Our collection represents a life-time of collecting and love for video games. They weren't just handed down to us. Every time you guys get money and spend it on candy or something gay, visualize us saving and earning and saving and collecting for our video game collection.

We all get As, we don't do drugs, we do all of our chores and all that other crap. We're good kids and not spoiled or anything. We work hard for what we earn and deserve it.

Even if I had a thousand vidia games, I still get bored of staring at a flashing box. I have the exact same problem as Wutia. Just can't think of anything entertaining to do.

Well then, I agree.

When it comes to location, we are happy. We live on the outskirts of a vast jungle with tons of creeks to swim in, vines to swing on, tunnels to crawl in, and places to explore, but on the other side of us we can walk to an infinate amount of places.

Wal-Mart, Kroger, Publix, Sam's Club, Party City, Barns and Noble, Circuit City, Best Buy, Radio Shack, 3 different video stores, Target, CompUSA, the Mall, Rhino Games, GameStop, MovieStop, Kid's Kingdom, and about a kajillion other places. Oh yes, and one of our personal favorites, the flea market.

That isn't even mentioning the restaurants and dineries either. Of course, to walk some of the places you have to be at least semi-athletically capable. Pretty much I live in a place where I can walk anywhere as long as I have the balls to do it. Hyper Shadow and I have yet to find a place too far for us to walk.

Me and Wutai happen to live in a neighborhood void of other peeps our age worth having fun with. Most the people are over 85 years old.

Dang it... I really wish I lived next to those koo shops. Sams Club is like the best friggen place to explore, eat free samples, check out new movies on teh big plasma screens, and screw with the insanly expensive computers. But alas... it takes like 30 minutes by car to get anywhere from where we live.

Yes, JSL and I live in the deep south, way off in the middle of nowhere.

Usually when I'm bored I go over to JSL's house and we sit in front of his house, trying to think of things to do. Sometimes we play Halo, other times we complain that Halo is getting boring. Most of my time is spent wishing with all of my heart that I had GTA: San Andreas. Sadly though, If I tryed to get it, my mom would be like, "OMG!!! WTF!!! STFU!!! LOL!!! OMFG!!! You can't get Grand Theft Auto, it is EVIL!!!"

We have some slightly interesting jungly areas around our houses, but we have explored most of them completely.
There is a wierd rythmic noise behind JSL's house. Maybe we should investigate that sometimes.

Seriously though Gyro, you are lucky. I'm only allowed to go like, a 5th a mile up the road by myself. Even with JSL with me, I'm not permitted to leave the neighborhood.

I'm not spoiled, I work for what I get. I make straight A's, but still I am not rewarded with anything close to freedom!

Dude, we aren't 6 anymore.

Anyway, my parents make me work for almost all of my stuff. My dad's a banker, so obviously, I save about every penny I get.

I spend most of my time either playing video games, listening to music, watching TV, or hanging out with friends. I also like blowing stuff up, bbut I usually have to take them (along with lego things that I build just so I can blow them up) into a forest near our house, since we live in a crowded neighborhood.

Yeah, that was just sort of an exaggeration saying you spend money on gay stuff.

Wutai, you think you and JSL live in the deep south? Don't make me laugh, TN is nothing compared to AL.
