Why are you interested?

Definition of "boring": That's when everything else is happening, and you're not. cdrxo

Actually you could use mylot as your diary; like rant and rave, if you don't like blogging. I used to dislike jotting down notes about my life and stuff, but it seems like a good, free shrink. LOL... at least, because it's submitted virtually without a need for consent.

Lol Elic well I must be to then as I have nothing to write about apart from Gissi and his Mischief lol so I would not worry to much as I am not Ok I have written a Book about my Life but that is all I have done it is still in the bottom of the Cupboard lol

Well mine can be boring now as we live in one spot but then to you have to make things not boring. Some how put a twist to waht you do. lol

I learned that, if you want good memories when you're old, you have to make them while you're young. They don't usually come to us, we have to go out and get them. Once I realized that I wanted good memories for the time when I was no longer able to do anything BUT remember, I wanted to make sure that I had some great memories to fall back on. That's when my life really began. My sister loved the musical group, Sha Na Na. She was going to be dying young from muscular dystrophy. I wanted her to have a great memory for the time when she could no longer walk, so I called up the place sponsoring the Sha Na Na concert when it came to our city and told them her story. They sent me tickets and backstage passes so that I could see to it that my sister met her favorite group. They gave her a photograph of the group which she had autographed backstage. She was in Heaven and I was so happy I could have burst my buttons if I had been wearing any! Another time, I entered a contest to win an all-expense-paid Caribbean cruise. As luck had it, I won. I entered a contest for front-row tickets and backstage passes for a "Meet and Greet" with the Rolling Stones. I won that, too. I never would have that awesome memory if I hadn't tried. I've entered contests and lost, but the memory of it is still with me. I've driven places just to say I've been there. I also talk with everyone I can while I'm in new places. You just never know what you'll hear! I have some awesome memories. I'm not done yet, either. If something else comes around with a ring for me to grab on my way by, I will. Oh, winning a skiing trip or even going skiing is out of the question but I'll do what I can. Another thing I love doing is learning all I can. I taught myself website design and I learned all I know about gardening and cooking by myself. (My mother was a terrible cook! LOL) But, even just being who you are right now is just fine. I've never found you to be boring and I doubt anyone else here has, either!

I think most people suffer from this problem. It goes along with being dissatisfied with our looks or with what our parents named us. I don't know why that is but it seems to be natural. Like you though I have tried to write a journal. Not because I think my life is interesting enough that others might want to read it but because I have lost so much memory I'm afraid if I don't write things down I will not remember them. Unfortunately, I have never been able to keep up with a daily journal. Maybe I need to give it another try.

heyyyyyyyyyy...you stole my auto biography there, Elic.

You forgot the part where she saved a lot of cat lives.

Hi Elic, Gosh!! how can you say you are boring? I love reading about your cats and you and your roomie's antics, if anyone is boring its me, I don't go out and do anything but sit at my laptop and responds to other members comemts or go to others social sites, my hubby is boring, he doesn't do any thing but when is he home for work, he is riding his bike, so there is nothing interesting in my life to write about, but I do fine you intersting girl and you are not a bore.

You boring? I don’t think so...For a start I think you’re very witty and this discussion proves it! I have taken a look at a few of the posts that you started and I advise you to do the same because there is a story threading through those discussions, a story of a life that is far from boring. I bet if you gave yourself a chance and started to write about yourself without judgement or for anyone else, I bet you would come out with something quite brilliant!

hi ElicBxn, You feel bored though I think of myself as even the boring one... totally bored that just like you I may end up doing sky diving just to renew my alertness... life may be boring full of pretenses... and yet by being yourself... is their anyone could compete??? Those things you mention I rarely do... as even though I do things my way, it seem uninterested .. but now your post dazzle me..lol..

...Hi ElicBxn. Life as they say is to be lived. What that means is very different to every one. I find that there may be something that I will learn almost every day which is new to me and I find that fascinating. Such as the Europeans discovering 32 new planets out in space, and announcing it a few weeks ago. That if you start with a penny and double the amount every day, you will have one million dollars in a specific amount of days. Sorry I forget the number of days but you will know when you get there. :o) The world is a fascinating place. Another thought would be, if you knew that today would be your last day of life, would you not lose your boredom, and find many interesting things to do that final day. So it can be a matter of perspective and just how bored you choose to be instead of going out and enjoying every aspect of the life you have been given. Many people who have been told they have but four to six months to live would love to have your boredom. Don't waste your time being bored, find someone who would love to have you pay them some attention, such as a young person who needs some guidance. Or an older person who doesn't have anyone visiting them. You are blessed, share yourself. Take care.

Well, why don't don't you get married so you can enjoy life more? I've posted an article that I found in then internet that married people tend to live longer than a single person. Well that is if you are still single. Cheers!

You have yet, to find the wondrous beauty in boring! What gives to the absence of thought(which, you have procliamed)is the lack of taking a quiet moment to inhale and give thanks. It is through the act of pausing and looking around at what you do have(realizing no matter how little it might be -that others go without, such things)closing your eyes and imaging yourself without, these things. Than, open your eyes and realize what it is you do have. This will give you a moment of thanks and clarity. Once you've done that you can focus on those without. Nothing makes ones life busier than, the acts of charity. No matter how little you are able to do(if, you think you have no talent at all -you can still, serve food to the homeless at a shelter)every little bit helps! Feelings of boredom and emptiness will disappear when, you are busy doing what you can for others. Still, remember to notice the color of the leaves on the trees. Flowers that you see -really look at them and think about what colorful beauty they add to this world. Therein, you will find self-contentment. Therein, lies your excitement and joy! Wishing you the best! P.S. It is better to live it than, to post it! Take Care!

Oh this is not true!!!! you may be a little down now, but you have all kinds of things happen in your life..First of all you are very important to someone....Out there somewhere someone loves you..If you are not down then you need to get a hobby....You are MUCH more important than you think you are....We don't always feel it, but we are....Cheer UP!!!!

Ok, so apologies in advance for the lecture, because I know you didn't ask for one, but then why not go out and do something interesting? Make a list of things you would like to do that are realistic and start ticking them off the list?And then come on back and write about them? But PS I don't find your discussions boring...

Hi, E. I listen to interesting people. This discussion caught my attention. I guess you are not as boring as you take yourself out to be!

yOUR LIFE SOUNDS ABOUT AS ECITING AS MINE IS NOWADAYS. i REALLY LIKE THINGS PRETTY MUCH THE WAY THEY ARE. I don't think i could take too much excitement.

Maybe in your diary or journal, you could write about what happened at your work place. Perhaps you could write something that happened to you or one of your coworkers at work. You could write about what is going on in their lives or even write about what's going on in the lives of your friends. Perhaps you can write about conversations you've had with your coworkers, friends and family members. This is a good way to come up with some story ideas.

Most peoples lives are boring most of the time and that is life.When somebody writes something exciting does not mean they live like that all the time.For instance this weekend I had my gran kids to stay,my Dad came over and we all had a wonderful time.Most weekends I struggle not to die of boredom,doing housework to pass the time. Don't go thinking everybody is having a life and you are not it is the same for everybody.Not everyone can be a top model,footballer earning millions most of us are just normal people who get by it is the friends and how we carry ourselves through life that matters.Maybe something dynamic is still to come in your life.I like to think although in the scale of things I am nothing special.I do know my family and friends love me and I them,that is enough.
