Go to [http://www.emode.com](http://www.emode.com) and take all the tests. That’ll keep you busy for a while. Or you can go to [http://www.straightdope.com](http://www.straightdope.com) (I’m sure you’re familiar with it) and read every column that **Cecil Adams** has ever written. Or you can read every thread here, like Rasa. Or you can write funny and random emails to everyone in your address book. Or go over to Yahoo and join a blackjack game. Or a game of spades. Or hearts. Or poker. Use the search function in your brower and just type in different words that interest you. Click on all those links. Really, there are a ton of options. These ideas should get you started. ---

This may sound radical and a little bit scary, but have you tried going outside to play? Once you get over the shock of seeing it, the sun and fresh air aren’t really that bad. ---

Another idea, surf through SD members web pages. BTW I am bored too. No work today and I have been up WAY before my alarms was set to go off. My jerk-off neighbors dogs were out at 6:15 this morning barking…grrrr but there’s already a bit thread about that. ---

Go through the SDMB archives, find every thread I’ve started or posted to, and bring 'em back up to the top by extolling the virtues of my posts. Talk about how clever, smart, and beautiful I am. (hey, you asked! **I** think it’s a good idea!) ---

And due to a lack of sleep my posts are filled with typos and a few don’t make a lot of sense. \< what’s a girl to do? \> ---
