Hi!! I usually don't get bored easily as I have lots of things to do to while my time.If i ever feel bored the first thing I do is call up my girlfriend and talk with her on the cell for long.If she is at college then I mostly engage myself in watching cartoons on television or watching some movie on my computer.If electricity is an issue which is common nowadays in India lol ,I mostly pick up my cell and start listening to songs or play games on my PSP.Other than that I spend my time reading the newspapers,solving Sudoku and crosswords that appear in the newspapers or just read some books or spend my time with my neighbours and play cricket on my floor :P.

I don't watch cricket much nowadays as I used to initially,in fact I get bored watching a match for a whole day :(.I love playing cricket though and m a trained cricketer and have played in the school championships but I left it to concentrate on my studies later :(.I love watching football as a sport or else its mostly cartoons.

I can't help regarding the cellphone as I met my girlfriend online and we don't meet up everyday as she doesn't stay nearby so m mostly on the phone all the time and we meet up twice or thrice a week :(.

Hi Sunny, When i am bored, i go check the refrigerator and see what i can cook. then i prepare and cook the food that all of us enjoy. if i am not so fine yet, i asked my family to dress up and we go out window shopping. there you are---i am fine again and back to my sanity and real hyper self! thanks to my honey and kids for bearing with me! if i don't feel like going out and i preferred to just stay home-i listen to music, open the computer and do mylot! at least it's a productive boredom.

well, another thing. eat something i like. like pizza, fries, and sundae while watching dvds. if ineffective, try going to thrift shop. and buy something for yourself.

Boredom - When one is bored what better way than to relive holidays one has enjoyed!
When I am bored I will sit in my favourite corner and relive memories of several holidays I have been to. One can literally go through that experience all over again and have an experienc which will take away ones boredom without any exertion.

hey sunny cool discussion,now boredom comes in many ways and can be easily dealt with,first u see what is making you bored and go do what u haven't done in a while,and there are many examples,say spending alot of time with your woman can get boring sometimes so you step away from her alittle.being around the computer everday can get boring,so u give it a break,and the list goes on and on,so its the particular,thing that u have being spending alot of time with gets u bored,and you just need to do something else that u haven't done in a while,thats how i deal with my boredom

hey dude if you follow the same with your girl friend i dont think she would so kind enough to leave you with out killing .let see if you get bored from your girl friend how would you say to her that you are getting bored with her just want to know your answer for this man.

That was a great answer and i think i came accross some of your discussions that you were least interstes in girl friends or something i dont get it know its been a while i read it.Anyways trust is the foundation for any relationship the moment you loose your trust on your partner then the relationship would be collapsed and good that you both trust and understand each others interests.gud day friend.

thats where the qualities of understanding and reasonable communication comes in,any woman at all i get involved with she understands me much that i am not the type of person that likes to be crowded too much within my space,i like space so i can think more to do more if i am too crowded with the thought of another,then i am not gonna be thinking straight,and any woman at all i deal with she understands that about me and she appreciates it as well,it also gives her space to breathe,so how could we ever be tired of eachother when we give eachother space at times,

I get on the computer and do sites like mylot, and other writing sites, and if I don't feel like doing that I will play online games. If I don't feel like being on the computer I will work out, or hang out with friends or clean a closet or something like that. There are always things that can be cleaned out if I am bored enough to do it.

If I'm bored, I'll probably go out and skate. If I'm too tired or just don't feel like skating I'll play guitar or do some research. Or go on MyLot =)
