When I'm bored, I do nothing. Considering for me to be bored, that means that there's no one on forums, no one on Facebook and I've already checked RSS feeds, Youtube videos, ect.

So I just sit there, F5ing until there is someone to talk to.

When I'm bored I go on the forums.

unfortunately my choices are now limited to sleeping or actually leaving the house (a right not taken away because the only times I leave the house are when I'm forced to >_> )

Well I got in some trouble a few months ago and now on probation & lost my car, so Im afraid to talk to hang with any of my old friends (good people, but do illegal stuff, which I am not going to be returning too). Now Im stuck living back at home (at 28, ech) bored to death. ect. Also not speaking to my ex at all as her influence was the core of my troubles.

So now I just sit around on the comp playing games, and of course watching anime/reading manga. Also walk a lot and work out a bit. I used to do all that stuff too but it was more fun with my buddies. Its not boring per say, just a bit lonely. Also hard to get work now that I have to tell a job Im applying at that Im on probation. Im sure Ill be happier once I find a new job and meet some new IRL buddies.

WTB some new anime loving friends that I can hang with that wont get me a probation violation /cry

Also watching Clannad has me missing having a gf, and wishing I met someone amazing like Nagisa instead of the usual 95% of females I meet

Tampa Bay fails

Ah, another fellow Floridian. Welcome! There's certainly no shortage of weirdos to talk to here, so that should alleviate some of your boredom at least. I'm in Volusia County myself, so nowhere near your area. I lived in Lutz and Town 'n' Country in the early '80s, but if I've gotten to that part of Florida more than twice in the last 20 years, I don't remember it.

Thanks and hello!

I live near there, Im in port richey now and lived in land o lakes for awhile too with a buddy. This area is so boring!

Glad I found this site/forum, good & not too spammy. And a good tracker I can dedicate my upload bwidth too as well.

Someone told me to try facebook for finding local otaku groups, I haven't used social networking since myspace, and that was just a source of constant drama with friends & females so I gave up on it heh.

Changes from year to year. Used to watch anime 28 hours a day, both displays going with something different. There's pretty much always something to do now, usually cleaning. I share a very small room with my gf, so I clean a lot, and try to find more efficient ways to store stuff. If not that, then I'm doing inventory or something on the VG collection, or revising my storage methods on my HDDs. Speaking of which, I'm out of bays for more HDDs, and possibly need to set up a HDD cage with a backplane or something. There's also repairs, something's always needing repair. Then there's the whole trying to get into college situation, as well as volunteering to help at a book fair this week. Also, sleep and I are not friends, and caffiene just makes me sick.

This sounds like me, except my boyfriend spends time making the room messy and not cleaning it.

Caffiene makes me feel icky though.

Oh, another Floridian! Welcome Malakai. I'm in Sarasota County, and there isn't anything to do here either...

Hows your current storage layout? I have 3 1tb wd green drives for storage, and a wd 640 black ed short stroked (geek moment: means you only format a small portion of it & leave the rest unformatted so the drive heads only ever move around the fastest outer edge of the platters fyi, better throughput and much lower latency!) for the OS. One drive is full of tv series, one full of anime, third one filling with anime and also music and such.

Thanks. Yeah I bet sarasota is a lot like here. Its terrible now that I dont have a car. Theres like, only a handful of stuff in walking distance, just stores and such, and all my friends live on the other side of town

Not that its a good idea to hang with most of them anymore anyway. No more trouble with the law again ever ahhhgh! Im so stupid for getting in so much trouble in the first place. Managed to stay out of trouble from 17 all the way till 27 too

Nice that we have a bunch of FL peeps tho! Do you guys have a lot of IRL friends that like anime/manga and stuff? I just had 1, unfortunately his # changed while I was away and his comp is apparently broke.

I have 2 friends, including my roommate, with a serious interest in anime, and several others with more of a casual interest. It's really difficult with everyone's work schedules to get any time to watch stuff as a group, so on the rare times when we do get together, it's at least a 3-4 hour marathon session with copious amounts of alcohol involved.

(Getting a bit off-topic, so we should probably relocate this conversation to General Chit Chat 2. I seem to remember someone recently locking Lounge threads that were getting too far offtopic.)

kitamesume · « **Reply #36 on:** October 27, 2011, 10:21:47 AM »

i`m kind of curious, how the hell can you guys do something when you're bored? doing something takes the boredom away, meaning you're no longer bored =O the only reason you'd get bored is there is nothing left to do but do nothing at all >,> or if your current job is stupid enough to make you sigh all day long.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #37 on:** October 27, 2011, 10:35:14 AM »

Sometimes you can be bored even when you're doing something.

But the replies are more "What do you do to relieve boredom" I believe.

Yep, sometimes if I'm bored but I don't know why, I will engage in various time wasters (e.g. web surfing, watching random crap on TV, playing guitar, or randomly trying different games) until I figure out what I actually want to do.
