Draw, read, paint minis or work out.

Boozing and masturbating furiously are both preferable of course, but my body hasnt the stamina to do both 24/7.

Curse my frail human skin!

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Plenty of free to play MMOs out there, if I'm not studying, doing a paper, or doing homework.

Only boring people get bored, there is always something to do.

If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

You can sit and watch the seconds tick toward your inevitable death.

Honestly, that's what I do when I'm bored. I usually come up with something fun to do pretty quickly after I do that little mental exercise.

Yep, nothing gets a guy motivated to find something fun to occupy themselves with like the crashing realization that this party is going to end some day....

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Death is the party, man! Now shuddup, i'm trying to watch this!

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

It makes sense in psychology POV!

Cuz most of the time the reaction is either fight or flight. In DS1 I get to shoot and stomp them.
But in DS2 Im in a STRAIGHT JACKET. xD

And i actually die twice, cuz im like directionally challenged. :3

I just realized that I haven't been properly bored in over a year.

Too much to do, I guess.

There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.

I am usually playing some sort of video game or reading. If I get really bored, I break down and do some writing. So much writing to do, I should be bored more often.....
