Here i am on an empty campus during fall break. All my roomates are gone and I have nothing to do. Right now I am sitting in front of my computer drinking a Jack Daniels and Ginger Ale but other than that I a quite bored. All my IM’s are empty so I can’t talk to anybody. So I Look to you guys for some sort of entertainment.
What do you guys do while alone? I am really hoping somebody can help me out here I am losing my mind I have at least 3 days alone here so the more suggestions the better. Oh yeah if you personally want to entertain me you could IM’s me. God that sounds desperate. But hey I am desperate right now. So here I go I going to submit.
Well, here’s what I do for six hours while I’m at work:
I play guitar when I’m bored. I’ll sit there with a CD on the stereo and my acoustic in my lap for hours until it’s perfect. That only works if you play an instrument, though.
I make up origami. I don’t know how to make anything but a box, but I’ll just sit and fold paper. It’ll kill at least ten minutes.
Go rent some really long movies. Or, if you’re ballsy, you could go to the movie theater by yourself, and watch a movie. Just remember to bring a jacket or something to throw over the chair next to you, so you could pull the “I’m just waiting for someone” routine.
Read a book. Do a crossword or logic puzzle. Rent a movie. Take a nap. Surf the web (try The Center for the Easily Amused). Write. Phone a friend, especially one that you seem to never get around to phoning. Organize your desk, cupboards, or anything else that’s been driving you nuts for a while. Run to the convenience store and buy a slushie, beef jerky, and a magazine. Clean out your e-mails. Listen to some music. Play solitaire. Catch up on your laundry. Take a long hot bath or shower. If you’re female, do a facial or hair removal or paint your nails. Either gender, dye your hair just for fun. Do some dusting. Water your plants. Bath your dog. Match up all your odd socks. Download MP3’s.
If you can tell, my kids NEVER say they’re bored. I have a list longer then your arm of chores that need to be done…
When I’m alone (as I am this weekend, with the GF visiting her folks), it’s time for a trip to the music store. Today I picked up the new Grateful Dead release from the Fillmore East, April 1971 (on the recommendation of no less than Ukulele Ike, BTW), so I’m happy for the next five hours.
I also take the opportunity to cook obnoxious things.
well thank you all for you suggestions. but i exspected more from my fellow doper. Please help me. It is my second night here and I need help. I have found a couple people to talk to but and suggestions would be great. Have a nice day.
