Well, NOT being able to sleep makes me more irritable than bored...

Washing up. Well... actually... anything that is cleaned just so it can get dirty again for exactly the same reason it got dirty in the first place.

Which is why shopping is boring too. Buying the things and lugging them home, just to perpetuate the cycle.

Repeating the same thing over and over again is also boring - until the point arrives where the sound of your own voice starts to drive you a teensy bit rabid which *stare straight into eyes of setizens everywhere* coincidentally, is when biting walls suddenly seems a fun occupation, people... Yes! :) which is when you'll often find me here pretending I'm on the phone :) which is what I'm doing right now because if I have to say it's something to 4 in the afternoon and not the morning again (for example) - I will be sitting in a pile of rubble having just chewed through a supporting wall...

As for the moon...sesame street got it right I think :)

oh...and did we say we like humans too? Well we do :)

A friendly world, add 7 billion people, some of whom I love.
I then add to that a functional adult human mind, and up to
a hundred years or so to look around. Put it all in a life
time and mix it up with love, joy, and my family.
Bored, never!

Pass the salt!

Whenever one of us kids sighed, in the middle of summer vacation, "I'm bored....", my mother would snap back "Intelligent children are NEVER bored!"

We would immediately find something to do, lest our mother think us dullards.

Children should be allowed to get bored, expert says

Children should be allowed to get bored so they can develop their innate ability to be creative, an education expert says.

Dr Teresa Belton told the BBC cultural expectations that children should be constantly active could hamper the development of their imagination


Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

I never used to get bored. It's only recently. I think it's because things take so much longer to do than they used to, so mundane things that HAVE to be done make me feel like my life is ebbing away doing them. I'm not such good company in my own head at the moment either. And there've been some spooky occurences in there which, after emphatically unboring me all of a sudden, leave me feeling... uneasy is probably the best way of putting it :) although wretched would be closer :/

Which come to think of it... makes being bored sound more fun now :)

edit: Hi WK! Off to read your link now - missed it whilst I was writing that lot up there :)

ANOTHER edit: Very interesting... having read that, I think I must have been mistaking getting brilliant ideas for what must have been boredom all along :)

They weren't always brilliant ideas *pop eyed look of awe* but that was always tremendously interesting to find out too :)

oh...and did we say we like humans too? Well we do :)

I'm not bored. Though I am finding it's getting harder to do some tasks, which used to be simple to do, like cleaning a video card of dust and muck. I just don't feel like doing the work and that is depression... Typing is easy.

Politicians who drone on and on while saying nothing new or useful. Makes no difference which political party they belong to.

In the news.

Obama hails climate pact reached in Paris.

On behalf of the Palestinian people, I guess.

Definitely the world is full of conflicts, but if we happen to agree on the climate and environment pollution, we most likely would be a step closer to a better world.

Why not travel to the Moon instead and watch the stars and galaxies with your own eyes instead of having your vision being blurred by the atmosphere or the boring day which happens to be part of your life?

Anyway, tried a second account for this, but the RAC is at 0,22 which apparently is slightly too little when it comes to current credit.

Red velvet - cake, cupcakes, cookies, whoopie pies etc...

Red velvet desserts have been done to death. Red velvet is not that tasty, the chocolate flavor is weak and unless you go "old school" and use beets to color your dessert, chances are you have used more than half a bottle of artificial red food coloring.

I am bored to tears with red velvet anything!!!

You clearly haven't had a red velvet doughnut from Krispy Kreme! I have about half dozen left in the fridge if you want to come over and try one:
