You know you're bored when...

[The Bookinator]

Wow... I'm pretty bored. Looking at the recent posts, my name comes several times in a row. Here, just name one of the many reasons why someone would be (or why you currently are) bored.

You know you're bored when... well, your name comes up several times in a row in the recent posts on Litnet forum games.

Close, but maybe having a fervent wish to watch infomercials about self cleaning kitty litter boxes might outclass it? :p

[Reccura]

You know you are bored when you really REALLy want to clean out hairclogs from the shower drain.

Why would you want to do that? When I'm bored, I just close my eyes until the "bored" felling's gone. It's pretty boring, actually.

[Riesa]

Close, but maybe having a fervent wish to watch infomercials about self cleaning kitty litter boxes might outclass it? :p

McDonald's is my kind of place
they serve you plastic shakes
french fries up your nose
hamburgers between your toes
and if you don't care
they'll fry your underwear
McDonald's is my kind of place...

and you're really bored when you want to sing it in a round.

-You've played and won the same game 10 times sunday morning
-You count the speckles of dust on the carpet floor over and over
-You decide to do your careers homework by will :|
-You count how many times you blink in one minute, and then realise the more you think about it the more you blink, and then you make a game out of it.
- (From Brother) : You continuously say some stupid made up phrase like "Yellow bird yellow bird yellow bird...poopoo."
-You sing the song that never ends

You know you're bored when algebra, the bane of this bookworm, starts to make sense.

[Shalot]

You know you're bored when algebra, the bane of this bookworm, starts to make sense.


algebra is fun and the building blocks of Calculus -- stick with it little bookworm. Mathmatics is the key....

[andave_ya]

algebra is fun and the building blocks of Calculus -- stick with it little bookworm. Mathmatics is the key....

I will. I have no choice. :bawling: I'm actually homeschooled, so my mom teaches me everything. If it wasn't for her, I'd be a wreck. A wretch with an emotional breakdown. I've thought it through and I guess it's because Algebra is rigid -- there's only one right answer. In literature there is more than one right way and you get to pick and choose.:nod:

And because I'm posting in this thread, you know you're bored when you can't decided between reading, writing, or going on the internet. Spoiled!

Speaking of bored, I'm trying to remember a French expression which phonetically sounds like "en-wee". Anyone remember the proper spelling. It is my understanding that it takes a short paragraph to define this sensation but it is a more intense form of boredom combined with a certain general fatigue with life experiences. RJS

You can't be bother to look for the remote to find something more interesting in TV, because you know it isn't any better than "Crab Fishing"... http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Geezer.gif

[Countess]

Hey nightshade, I like ABBA so I resemble that remark. (-:
(Dancing Queen rules. Must pull out ABBA CD for trip to work)

And Pendragon, I feel your pain with fishing shows. I always resort to watching TMC, although I don't like Woody Allen and he's been on alot lately.
I will never watch commercials, however. I'd rather wash the dishes than do that.

I know I'm bored when - confronted with 8 hours of looking at numbers on boxes and placing them in the correct pile - I find myself wisked away to the alternate universe of my current work. You'd be surprised at the number of ideas and sentences I contrive while - like a mule - I pull heavy pallets to the floor. Then on break I rush back to pad and pen (no where to plug in my laptop - not that I have found, anyway) to scribble in the most horrific handwriting every word of dialogue and description I can recall.
