Lately, I've been getting bored a lot. It's not just because I'm on the net almost everyday, but because most of my friends aren't around that much anymore. I end up doing crazy stuff. The other day, I uploaded a video of me singing on youtube just because I was bored. My classmates from college and the rest of my friends found out about it and they sort of had a laugh. That was one of the things I did it out of boredomthat resulted to something wonderful. What do you do when you're bored? And tell me what effects it brought.

When I get bored I just sleep if I can. If I can't because it's a meeting or something I just play games with my PSP or in my mobile phone.

I only tend to start eating but I know that I can't carry on doing that for so long so I have to to find something to do perhaps go for a walk and run but I definitely have to find something to otherwise I get very irritable.

Well there are many times when I find myself being bored that I will often do things I would have never done otherwise, and sometimes I find these are things that I actually enjoy and want to do more of. But singing and then placing it on Youtube. Not sure I could do that, even though I enjoy singing. Personally I think when you get bored and become creative like that it is time to explore and find out personally who you really are.

Well I seldom get bored at work anymore ever since I am here at Mylot. When I am at Mylot it keeps the boredom away as I usually participate in discussions and sometimes I bump into my friends here and comment back to each other even if our comments are not anymore connected to the topic. I got rid of boredom at the same time I'm earning from it.

When I get bored, I try doing something that I usually like doing. I might read a book, watch a movie, or something like that. It's usually what I try doing it, and it does help me.

I guess it's ok to do crazy stuff like what you did as long as everyone including you will have a good laugh after wards. There are so many things to do when I get bored. 1. I play with my 1 year old daughter 2. i read a book. 3. i watch tv or DVDs 4. I try to make myself useful at home by doing the laundry, cleaning up my old files and trying to sort out old clothes 5. I travel to different places but this only happens when I have the money. :) actually the list would just go on and on and eventually I realize that there are so many things to do after all. It's just a matter of being creative and be productive.

I watch series, write, dance, play with my dog and cats... I love to think about t hings so I never get bored, I imagine my story and make it grow...I think being bored it's more about the mind, I don' t get bored very often cause I love to be a philosopher, always with my mind on the stars. It bothers people actually cause those who doesn't know me that well thinks actually I'm bored or not paying attention. It's just I'm not there.

Actually, i don't get bored. I have a lot of things to do that's why. I don't even have time anymore to read the novels i want to read. I guess, if you are busy, you will never get bored.

I never get bored, I always do something that keeps me interested. I talk to my family, hang out with my dog. Watch TV, listen to music, write, read, and I'm on my laptop a lot. When I was younger I used to feel bored, now I never get that feeling anymore.

I find anything to do on my computer, from playing games and messing around on the internet to running scans, fixing programs, and other programs of the sort. The scans and stuff probably keep my computer running nicely... if that counts as an effect.

Hi lynlypiochi, It is true that we get bored after spending a day online. Just get out of the house and do an hour walk on the street. I used to do this when I am bored. I used to go around with a cycle. It is a good experience by which I got many friends, got to see many girls, new places and its all interesting.

That would be a nice way to get rid of the boredom, upload a video of yourself singing and having a nice time. I wish I could do that, I can't because I am not a good singer at all. Everybody who sees it will start laughing ! Ha ha ! So, instead, when I get bored I listen to music CDs, a collection of my favorite songs and classical music ! Don't be bored. Have a nice day !

When I get bore I just go to sleep, since you don't have anything to do then sleeping is the number one option.... for me I guess :D . Or you can just hang out in mylot you may find some interesting topic to talk about, like yours. Eventually you can just read a book :]
