It's a crummy day outside, and I'm stewing in boredom. I thought I'd ask- how do you pass the time, have some fun? For me I tend to write, however I've hit a conundrum where  I keep writing the word 'bored', over, and over...

Hello Orchid;

I like to write short stories. Haven't had any contest winners but some were really well received by others who didn't know I had written them.

I'll update my journal with how I feel and the like or any news that is significant on my journey. Fire up the old VHS/DVD player and watch some movies and if I need a good cry throw in a sad film like Ghost or Beaches.

Jumping into the hot tub is a great stress reliever and feels sooooooo goooood!

Love,
Clare

Oooh, short stories! That's a lovely idea. I'd love to have a read of yours, I'm sure they're fantastic!

I've never seen Ghost or Beaches, but, I have a ton of VHS tapes lying around, good idea.

The bathtub mention... Oh goddddddd yaaaaasss. That's my evening ritual so all is right and cosy in my world.

Thanks for the ideas!

Well, Im never bored.... Im obsessed with dancing and exercising, which is good I guess. Some
times I wish I could just chill or do something else, but Im obsessed.

I do play guitar every few days and I used to write and record music, but I never find the time for that anymore

I also love to shop thrift stores and pawn shops

I have a guitar collection and am very picky (pun intended) about how they play.

If I'm not playing one, I'm making adjustments on it.

I used to be that way, you could even say I was obsessed, finding and trying gear, buying, trading, modifying guitars, etc
Then when I finally found the guitar and amp that works for me, I quit pursuing it. Its nice to know that the guitar I have will do everything I want it to do when I want it too. Now I just play it

If you want a real time sink, maybe try learning to play baduk.

Which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?" --Dr. Steven Novella
