    i was sitting around thinking..

    is anyone else like always bored? or is this just a me thing?

    even before i got into the MMO scene and was a social butterfly, hanging out every night til 4am i was always still bored. actually the only time im not bored is when im enguaged in something that requires multiple things going on at once, ie several conversations. i dont have a problem meeting people, most of the time i just dont see the point.

    what does everyone else do to ward away the boredom?

    When I get bored I do administrative stuff that I've been slacking on. =o

    I dunno why doing work makes me less bored, but it does.

    That is because FFXI is more demanding than your current job / career lol

    I find that I just cant clench my thirst when it comes to games so I become very anti-social at times.... but then I get more than I want to drink and I need my social fix.

    I need Berticus to give me his Equilibrium speech

    see thats the shitty irony of this, playing these games is "less" boring than going outside. i mean really what is there to do, goto wal mart? pretty much everything is boring to me haha. the only time im really not bored is when im in class, or random events going on irl.

    going to bars and getting drunk is boring to me, especially because i dont drink lol. i dont like clubs because id rather have a conversation with the people i meet as opposed to thrusting my denim cock onto their rear.

    so specifically what do you find interesting that passes the time? specifics and not "go outside duh" lol

    Sounds to me like something much deeper than just boredom Xiona

    Try maybe read some novels or learning something (not necessarily a class) that requires time?

    You could try comics! I've been picking up the new Marvel series Civil War and Annihilation. As well as other old comic collections like Essential Silver Surfer/Spiderman/Avengers/Doctor Strange.

    As of this moment, I'm reading the entire series of Jeff Smith's "Bone". 1334 pages of a really neat story so it's keeping me nice and busy.

    I feel this way alot too lol. When I go to places with my friends it's all really meh to me. Everything just seems kinda a bore and I can't really explain why. New things are kinda interesting for like 5 mins then it's all so what now? Maybe it's some bug people who've played ffxi get :D IE ffxi rapes your life :wink:

    well i think the main reason im bored i think is my hyperactivity and self-diagnosed a.d.d

    when ever i goto read a book i get 2 pages in and start to skip paragraphs and skim until i eventually stop. when i read scientific american (my favorite magizine) i tend to force myself to continue reading or it takes me a few tries to get thru a article.

    true story, i was just typing this and apparently i forgot i was writing this. i started watching tv then and continued eatting breakfast lol.

    the only upside to this is that i notice the smallest details in a fast and busy setting. i guess its because im pretty much always scanning the area.

    Ehhh, I get the same way. I usually pick up a book, watch CNN, or download a random RPG rom and clear it fully. Asperger syndrome perhaps? Wiki it up.

    If I get bored I start trying to do more than 2 things at once. For instance right now I'm researching an essay on Burma, listening to music, learning a different song on the guitar, and watching stuff on Youtube.

    Oh, and forum whoring.

    Yeah, but it's all administrative stuff in dealing with FFXI.

    Though I seem to do my best FFXI research stuff at my job too. =o

    I need more responsibilities at my job. ; ;

    Sadly in my 8 hours of work I watched 5 episodes of Bleach, refreshed BG about 5000 times, updated LJ, surfed myspace for a bit and then took 30 minutes to do everything that needed to be done work wise. Back to surfing FFXI forums to kill some time.
