I either read, listen to music (either blasting the sterio or iPod), play video games, read, or play some kind of sport like basketball. Not that wierd. Or if I have a test or something, then I will study.

I play WoW, I try scribbling some crap on my piano, I play old games, usually just some from the Legacy of Kain franchise, yea, procrastinate, read a book, although that's hard to do since i haven't bought a decent one in awhile and the ones I've read got boring after the third time. I get my cell, put on some music and just hang out on the balcony, has a nice view, that's most of it, i think.

I will read, play video games, watch TV, or just stare at a wall until my brain blanks out. Heck, I do it all the time! (but not always on purpose)...

Hahah. I love how this is in Entertainment. I usually just listen to everything on YouTube, watch TV, play a game, or sleep. That's always good.

If I am bored, there are many things I like to do. Most often if I become bored I decide to go on a walk, do schoolwork, do yoga, or read. I also like to cube, go bicycling, play video games, play scrabble, go for a drive, and cook.

It all depends on how bored I am, and how much money I have on me. If I am bored and have money on me, I may walk to the movie theater or visit someone.

Most of the time I'll read a book or listen to music, or play music. I prefer some sort of book that has to do with Science or Philosophy or anything of the like.

Or, if I'm really bored, I'll search the internet for random things, like facts and whatnot. If nothing like this interests me I'll play Zelda or some a real time strategy or something.
I also have an interest in astronomy, so occasionally I'll stay outside and look at planets or stars, or both.
Writing is something, also. It depends on what mood I'm in, but nonetheless, I'll write. Recently I started writing an sort paper. on human behaviour, psychosis and history, events, etc. It was just something I started out of boredom.
It isn't really much now, but I plan to add to it now and then.

When I say cube, I am speaking of cubing. If you still do not understand, here is a visual reference:

I currently can only solve the 3x3x3 and 2x2x2, but I am progressing to learning new methods and algorithms.

One of my random activities is solving Sudokos. Yeh, I'm very good at sudokos. And other versions like jigsaw sudoku, kakuro or GT sudoko. Pretty fun, I think I've like twenty sudoku books around.

Otherwise, normal things as calling a friend, take a trip to the city, play some games, play guitar, listen to music, random internet surfing...

Oh, that's cubing. I only know it as a rubix cube, not just a cube. Cube could mean anything.

When I'm bored I either play my piano, get some exercise (mostly push-ups, running, and weight lifting), play video games, read a book, or post on the Zelda forums I go to. Very few days go by where I don't do all of those things.

Well I can barely be ever bored because of all the sports I do. But whilst I am bored I might kick a soccer ball around or throw a football. But if it is below 0 *which it is right now* I would go on the computer, play the wii, play any Zelda games or just play Fable. Also if I am bored I would go to my vernal pool and skate on it.

I have recently gotten into Soduku. Fascinating! And Lenora, that's awesome about cubing. Sounds intriguing.

When I'm bored, I mess around on the computer. I do the myspace/facebook thing, come here, read my favorite blogs, and then do "stumbleupon" searches...great time waster! I also like to read, and I love to hang out with friends when I am bored.

I recently have started to write down different ideas for a videogame I am attempting (and sort of succeding) to make whenever I am bored...it is about the fifth or sixth game I have tried to make, with only one of those games being good enough to entertain you for at least a (very) little bit of time...this will be a better game then the others though...by the way, anyone who would like to help or know what it is about or just give ideas, etc, please PM me. :D

I might take a walk. Go and buy something, visit someone or just enjoy the open sky. I might play a game, search the internet, take a bath. I can call someone or make myself a delicious sandwich. There are so many things to do and I´ve only mentined a handful of them!

I usually find something I wan't to complete on a game or whoop out an old one and play through it, If I can not be bothered doing that I either continue writing a story I am writing at the minute or Grab my Rubik's cube and sit there for an hour or 2 just solving it over and over again

what i do...
1- i play my electric guitar, and sometimes when nobody is in my house i put my marshalls on, and play a sample of a song to follow the lyrics and the song (i make loud sounds sometimes, my neighboors never cares about that)

2- i go out to skate

3- draw (i like to draw original things of mine, cats, dogs, places, non-real characters and sometimes draw and remaster the hand drawn of other pictures)

4- find something that shoots me into laughts!!!, i could never find something better than a good 1 minute laught!!!

5- me and my friends (i have only 3, nick (bass), mike(2nd guitarrist after me) and larry (drums)... oh and lily (she sometimes steals the mic from me)) go outside to make a mini concert, we play different songs, and as i said, my neighborhood does not care, allmost everyone is not at home late, we announce the night play, and rock on! we love midnight!, we do many things pass 12:00.

6- i go play my wii (its difficult to request someone to play SSBB with me, since i don,t stick to my wii exept frydays from 1:00pm to 3:00 pm)

7- sleep

8- stargaze to the stars and the moon at night, i love when the night-sky is bright and clear

Well, Normally;

1.I'll go on the internet and look at video's on youtube
2. Go outside cycling on my bike
3. Draw: I'll draw mainly anything, from doodles of things I create in my imagination, to drawings of Zelda characters or other game characters
4. I'll watch TV or a movie
5. Read a book, no specific kind or genre,
6. Make a sandwhich
7. Look out the window, watch the world go by
8. Look at the sky (if it's clear)

these are only some of the things I do, I probably have an entire list of other things!

I get bored all the time, so I have to constantly be doing something to stay happy.
If I am not surfing the net, visiting forums, etc. I will either start writing a story, or I start drawing. There is always the video games, but I want to do something healthy that does not have to do with watching tv or screen monitors, it hurts my eyes, you know? XD

Oh yeah, I also practice with my psr-11 keyboard, and sometimes I just go out for a stroll while I listen to my mp3. That is about it, I have a bike but I rarely use it.

--I Also forgot to mention that I love to read, so if I am not doing the other stuff I mentioned, I relax and read a book.

Well, if i'm bored im going to play a game, don't mind if it is a new or old one. My P64 and GBA emulators are my friend for new games. I only have to download a nice game, mostly i play a orginal game on the Wii, i can't stop playing Brawl anyway.

Second thing is the internet. Most of my time i spend on forums, jes im on like 5 forums. xD Subeta is the most recent one, actually because the training of my pet and all the nice colored pets there. It's addicting because the level, strenght and all system. I hate a pet around 850 stats now, my dream is to hit the 1000 now.

thirth thing is drawing. I can't stop drawing something. Well, im really bad with paper while im very good with drawing with a MOUSE. I know, everybody looked at me and ask me for buying a Tablet. Artwork and artwork.

I have a Fourth opinion but can't be done always. Working overtime, it's good for the money and if you are really bored last times, it's your friend. Someday i worked from 7:15 in the morning till 23:15 half night. xD
But games are my best friend if im bored. Oke, last time im very busy, so i can't say im REALLY bored everytime.

10-08-2009, 06:10 PM
I'll read, talk to myself, have a conversation going on a piece paper with myself, write, play a game, or listen to my music if I'm not lazy enough to find my music device thingie.

I have tons of various hobbies to pass the time, including playing the piano, video games (LoZ only :P ) mixing music via a music tracker, game development, chatting with friends, running, reading, and various other things I can't remember at the moment.

But when I'm truly bored...I review mathematics online. (statistics, lagrange multiplies, and integration by parts were subjects of late) Yes, it's odd, but it's helpful. I work as a math tutor and I can't tell you how much I have forgotten even when it was all too easy and clear when I took the class the students are going through. So when I'm bored I refresh my memory to help me be a better tutor.

And I find entertainment in it. :)

Well, when I'm bored, for some unknown reason, i'll whistle Zelda or other game tunes.
They seem to pass the time, and then, i'll probably remix their tune and then add them to levels that i'll think of in my head.

Other things I do include;

-Make a sandwhich (probably tuna or ham. :P)
-Go on ZD and browse the forums.
-Watch a video on Youtube.
-Doodle something on paper.
-Finish any writings that have been abandoned.
-Sing (Which can be spontaneous).
-Watch TV
-Go outside
-Talk to my friends (Probably while outside)

Well, they are some of the things I do. There are probably more, but at the moment, well, I can't think of them! :P

When I'm bored, i do a lot of things. One of them is walk around aimlessly and just watch people pass by me.
If that is not satisfying, I play a game until i snap out of the hypnotism and addiction to the said game (I lose track of time and self awareness when i play any game.) And if that Still does not work, then i do the last resort, Disturb and Annoy my older sister and show my love to my cute little baby cousin and play with her all day long.

I tend to take a shower when I get bored. I dunno, being all refreshed and clean gets me in a more active mood, so I'll feel like going outside and doing something or getting errands done.

Lol yeah I do that too. I grab my MP3 and draw a buch of art and Fanart. I've also done my own Mangas/Comics which include my fan Zelda Comic(I'll post it on youtube some day) and my original Manga comic series(If I were to show it to you I would have to kill you)
