Sorry to rant here, but I am bored out of my skull.
I have few friends in which I enjoy hanging out with. Most of my friends enjoy going to bars, proceeding to get drunk then drive home.
I recently broke up with my boyfriend, well he broke up with me. All he wants out of me now is sex…I admit I am good at it, but sheesh, I don’t wanna hang out with him fo rthe simple joy of sex.
I could go over to my AOL chat room to relieve some of my boredom, but for some reason I have not been into that lately.
TV sucks, I have seen all movies a zillion times ( trying hard to conserve my money for rent, food, beer and other essentials hehe)
So, is anyone out there as bored as I am on this Saturday night? 'Spose I could whip out the Super Nintendo, but that’s just not as fun when home alone ☹

I haven’t been to Blockbuster in a while…low on finances

Say, TechChick, I work in TV news and I’m at work right now and we’re all bored out of our skulls here. So if you don’t mind could you cause a plane crash or something, you know, give us something to do? Blowing something up would be good too. Just be sure to do it in time for the 10:00 news. Thanks!

Don’t want anybody gettin’ hurt, but we’ll do what we need to! Just tell the cops I’m treatin’ you all OK!

well shit, at least I got into an argument with a friend of mine of the problems of my life.
Without that I would have resorted to posting more mindless crap.
Gee it’s nice to know that I like beer, it makes you feel all funky even though no one is around to experience it with you.
(that took me forever to type LOL)

I’m bored too. I was gonna go out tonight but the person I was supposed to go out with never phoned ☹ so now I’m just sitting in my jammies reading the SDMB.
Which I’ve been doing all day.

I’m not bored. I’m having a wonderful tine cooking blackeyed peas and homebaked cornbread. Anybody want some?

Yet another night of boredom…geez I need a life!
It’s okay, I watched The Stand today and drank some Molson Ice. I have a little buzz and there’s work to think about tomorrow, so being bored on a Sunday night isn’t as bad as a Saturday night 🙂
Time to whip through the GD boards then watch another movie!

Bored?? Well, let me dig into my bag of tricks.
HMMM. There’s a bunch of fireworks left over from New Year and I suppose I could go drop a bunch of lit ones off in the front yard of my ex-girlfriend and her current husbands yard. They might find that entertaining. I know I would.
I have a bunch of old porn tapes that I could go through and clean out the garbage.
Load my pistol, pack up my gear and go fishing off of the river bank. (It’s night here.)
Cruse around the deserted roads and scare hell out of the teenyboppers steaming up their car windows in those secret spots that they THINK only they know about but I used ages before them.
Try to contact that old special girlfriend who moved 10 years ago and I’ve been look for ever since.
Call up old friends and catch up on things.
Pick lint off of my pants.
Throw darts at the picture of my ex-boss.
Wish Psycat lived in the city so I could say hi. (WOW!)
Clean old files out of my cluttered computer. Debate on hitting my old computer with a hammer to make it load up better – and REMEMBER to boot up the keyboard without me having to start it up two or three times.
Print porn from porn sites on my printer.
Actually clean up my work room instead of sort of moving things around.
Find interesting discussions on message boards.
Go down town and watch the prostitutes on their rounds.
Write nasty letters to the cable vision company for their crappy programming because I won’t pay an arm and a leg for their digital service and converters to watch the channels they have now put all of the good stuff on.
Try to figure out if I can get congress to make INFOMERCIALS, which clog up the set after midnight, illegal.
Think about mowing the lawn with a flashlight just to annoy my neighbor who insists of playing his religious and his rap music LOUD at all hours.
Try to find some new, good MIDI music on the web which has not been butchered up by those who copied it over from the original songs.
Bored?
Hell yeah.

Oh no B\_Line, I am sure you are not goof for nothing. You must be able to do at least one of the following:
Take out trash.
Mow lawn.
maintain car.
Assure remote control never gets lost by keeping a firm grip.
Open a car door.
etc. etc.
🙂 😉

I’m not only bored, I’m depressed . . . it’s pouring rain, and I’ve got nothing to look forward to.
Except maybe arthritis and prostate cancer.

And I thought _I_ was a pessimist!
Yep, I think I have been bored for the last six months. Christmas and New Year’s were cool, but not overly exciting. What I need is a trip somewhere. I woke up this morning after dreaming of Jamaica. Now I can’t get it out of my mind. If I can wait three months, it’ll be time for a trip to Mexico, but I need something to do in the meantime.
and I really do hope I’m worth more than a car-maintainer, door-opener, remote-handler, etc… Psycat! 😉
