I find myself constantly bored. I need a new obsession. Any suggestions? Manga? A video game? An internet site? An online game? Please suggest something. Imma going crazy... '_'<--- bored.
Even suggest something retarded like eating flowerpots. Lol. Can that actually be done?:p
When I get bored I get on purevolume.com and listen to different unsigned artist and by the time they are signed and everyone's starting to like them I would have already heard of them. There are some awesome artists and bands on there.
If you like games go to gamerival.com.. or millsberry.com [corny but fun!]
If you don't like doing those kind of things.. then say so I could come up with stuff for hours.
:]
Wow... nice! I just love online games! X3 *huggles* Thankies! But what if I'm in a car for like, five hours? My laptop won't last THAT long... D:
They have car chargers for laptops at radio shack or you can get a converter to where you can plug your laptop charger into it and then the converter into the cigarette liter thing..
And you can download games from msn and gamerival most of the time its only for 30mins of playing but you can download a lot or buy the game I like rollar coaster tycoon..
But yeah get a car charger the one we got was 60$ but its worth it.
Boredom is due to a failure of imagination, not a lack of sensory stimulation. You can distract yourself with sound and motion, but as soon as it's quiet you'll be bored again. Creative thinking is the real cure.
Why not pick up a portable hobby? I'm 28 and have been knitting for a few years. I recently got my 17 year old cousin into crochet. Its fun and you end up with something cool. I've made bunny slippers for friends and family. I've made cute IPOD cases, cool sweaters, pretty blankets, etc. Its fun, it gives you something to do and again you end up with something cool at the end that's one of a kind and no one else has.
Why not get out of the house and volunteer your talents to a worthy cause? If you like animals, there are pet shelters. If you like older people, volunteer at a nursing home or senior center. If you like children, become a Big Sister or mentor at some youth program or become a tutor for a school. If you like the outdoors, volunteer at some non profit that works in wildlife - example Sierra Club. There are always lists of places looking for volunteers. If you enjoy reading, check out being a volunteer reader for the blind program (we have that here through the State Library, volunteers come in and read newspaper and magazine articles over radio broadcasts). If you want to help save a life, donate your plasma. Learn a CPR and First Aid course.
Do something active. Something that stimulates more than your brain cells. Have fun.
I would have said read every thing you can get your hands on... or volunteer...
But shygrneyzs beat me to it...
I can never grow bored. Seriously. Sometimes I just sit there, thinking about memories and stuff. Or even if I'm not doing anything, including thinking, I just sit there. It's kind of fun, really, because you're just sitting there. It's just different than doing something all the time. You know. I'm not nuts or anything, I'm just different than most people.Quote:

Very thought provoking... take your time
Wow! So many suggestions! I have to write this down... or not. Yeah. These ideas REALLY help! Thanks! Yeah the idea of just sitting there doing nothing, it's quite fun but not when you know hundreds of people out there have thousands of things to yak about... it makes me feel sad. Thanks for all the answers! To tell the truth, I'm working on writing a story myself. It's just fun sometimes! ^^ Don't worry; I'll rate your answers!
Okay... noone mentions what we do all night long... get your minds out of the gutter :) Read AMHD. It keeps me busy when I can't sleep. But what I can't understand is how you all have these great hobbies, but I always see you on here... mind baffling.
All night long? I'm awake of course! I'm slightly nocturnal.
Oh and I don't have any hobbies... I like running into random classrooms with my most retarded friend yelling, "HOLY SCHNIKEYS!!!!", though. It's fun. ^^ Especially during Report Card Day!
Why the disagree Ranyxa? I'm just saying that my hobby is reading askmehelpdesk(AMHD)!
Watch deathnote - an amazing anime series - I highly recommend it! :D
I like to play role playing games like dungeons and dragons, not only does it spur creativity, but you can meet interesting people at a hobby shop :D
Instead of thinking of things on the internet just to take up time, why don't you get outside and exercise, or volunteer in your community. Make good use of your extra time.
Hey want a REALLY BAD obbsession? Guitar Hero!! I am serious! My friend has even got me hooked!!Quote:
