Dangerous ground, my friend, I bet that I could suggest some corkers you never knew existed. ;)
1. Make stuff out of paper (origami-style or just cutting/tearing and sticking it together into an abstract sculpture thing)
2. Carve a face into a piece of fruit, then violently mush the fruit and eat it
3. Try to build one of those card tower thingies without it falling down
4. See how many situps you can do before you can't manage any more
5. Invent a stupid dance for a song you love
6. Meditate
7. Try to juggle? (With fruit?)
I'm a student and therefore an expert at wasting time. If you want any more suggestions than this, I can provide. ;D
If all else fails, internet. Stuff like failblog.org or YouTube are infinite wells of beautiful, beautiful fun.
Something along the lines of 6 ft, broad shoulders, handsome, built like a tank. :D
Oh you mean something else. ::)
I do sewing. It occupies the time and you are constructing something useful.
Buy three packets of printer paper and six packets of pencils. A bag of erasers is optional, but you'll need a pencil sharpener.
Draw.
Draw until your drawings start looking like what you want to draw.
Then keep drawing.
Draw until your hands cramp up.
Draw until your brain turns to mush.
And then, Draw.
When you're out of paper, you'll have awesome art and the envy of friends.
fennir , lol and i like these stuff , especially the smashing fruit part hehe . youtube is actually so much fun , but usually this was like all i do in my 'spare time'
drawing also is interesting, miniar , although that's what i usually do when i'm supposed to do anything related to studying or holding pencil and paper for any reason , and i'm not any good at it
elijah , anything productive would not be fun for me :P
and janet , sewing needs talent , patience , i just can't do it , besides as i said above anything productive is not fun lol
meanwhile , i found some fun things for me for the moment , and it's also kinda productive (yay) , customizing my newly installed ubuntu , learning stuff about it plus a programming language, trying to get my sound system to work efficiently , and trying to write music . and most of all , youtubing ^_^ .
but still sometimes of course i still don't like any of these stuff
All that stuff sounds very insular and private. Do you do anything with other real people?
You could take up back-country hiking... Careful, it's gets *really* addicting!!
True that, you go out and never want to come back. But the most fun I've ever had tends to be doing things - particularly things that matter - with other people.
ugh , things that matters (or doesn't) with other RL people . i'm currently actually avoiding doing anything with (or seeing) any other people
So you want to entertain yourself with something you don't need to work or put any effort into learning or perfecting and without any kind of social contact? - No wonder you're bored.
In terms of doing stuff, all the stuff worth doing alone (drawing, crafting, carving,writing - even reading) is all about the process rather than the product. The fun in drawing in Minair's account was not ending up the envy of your friends, it was the self realisation and actualisation and sore hands that led to that end. A solitary hobby needs to be all engrossing and tough to be worth it all - and it will help you feel more integral and part of yourself also.
As for 'RL' people - we are all RL people. Even yourself - maybe it will be worth wandering a museum or art gallery - if just to be around people and share a joke with the warders. Or a dramatic class or club - I always recommend theatre to people stuck for something to do - and I don't mean just acting - even stewarding is a way of working with people as a team to a clear goal. People are often at their best when working together for a clear goal (which is why work often sucks - the clear goal is to make money for the owner usually - an people won't admit that). Other people feel similar about sport - I never have because I was banned from sport as a kid for being to clumsy - but if their is a game you like - even being a member of a supporters club is better than nothing.
If you're finding it a real drag, could be you're depressed - and there seems to be two cures for that. One way way seems to be to go to the drs, get labelled with some sort of disorder - take pills for it and use it as an excuse. I prefer the walk a very long way until you cry/laugh/see something amazing and then cry and laugh.... but I steal think the theatre is better.

your right in everything you said , well except for the RL part , what i meant by that is that i don't want to see anybody because mostly things that i don't wanna talk about / hear about will come up
and all that is part of avoiding contact with life as a whole and trying to make excuses for it , thanks for making me see that .
well, worried y'know - you don't sound like a chuffed bunny.

Perfect.
