What do you do when you're bored?

Since I'm stuck at home because of the sprain in my right ankle, I just surf the net. I click in traffic exchange sites and I think I'm going to play the guitar in a little while. When you're stuck at home and you have nothing to do, how do you usually spend your time?

It's good that it is raining there. It's too hot here and because of that, we've been experiencing power shortage. There are rotational brown outs all over the Philippines because of the decreasing water in dams. I still have around 3 weeks to go before school ends. So, like you, I also have to bring crutches all around school haha!

When I am bored I sleep. When I am at home all I can do is sleep. I am a very lazy person, if I am not eating I am sleeping, if I am not watching television I am sleeping. When I read books, you will find me sleepy head after. I have no computer at home that is why I did not have the chance to do what makes me busy for the whole day. I love to read and watch television, but sleeping will win them over. Sleeping is the best stress reliever.

When I'm bored, I just surf the internet, sometimes read ebooks, watch videos or movies, and just eat. I hate being bored sometimes because that's when I can eat more and more food and I cannot stop even until I'm full, that's because of boredom.

There's many things to do at home, they're just little things you don't notice to do. I usually listen to music, read or watch some tv. If I'm in the mood, I'll go and create a mix on my turntables or just muck around. I try to keep myself occupied because I tend to walk around aimlessly and eat unnecessarily when I'm bored...

lol, me too. I eat too much when I'm not doing anything. Wow, you do real turn tables? It's cool! I'm using Virtual DJ here in my laptop but it doesn't really give the same effects.

lol, I use to use Virtual DJ. It was okay for basic mixing but once I could afford it I went for the turntables! Haha, at least I'm not the only one that eats when I'm bored...

I usually have a plan everyday as to what I want to accomplish. This helps in not getting bored. I will clean the house, watch movies, write poetry, write on mylot. I don't usually find myself bored because I like to do alot of different stuff and I like to be busy doing things all the time. The best thing to keep me from getting bored is playing with my granddaughter.

REading, watching TV, talking to a friend by phone or coming to the comtuter helps my boredom many times. I live alone and many times I get bored being alone by myself so I invite a lot. But probably you are my drandaughter´s age , so it´s not the same. Take care!

I would surely spend it watching movies that i haven't watch before. I miss a lot of beautiful movies due to busyness,so,if i will be stuck at home due for some good reason,it will be a good opportunity for me to watch some good movies. Read some magazines which i haven't open a page yet while listening to my favorite songs.

when i feel bored, i usually listen to my iPod. whenever i hear music, i feel like all my stress and boredom drains from my body, then im up for something that will keep me busy like cleaning my room, cooking something, singing, anything thats fun! i do believe that without music, life is dull and colorless. right? keep safe people! :)
@pierrella (1087)

Yup I believe so :) Music is the best. I play the guitar while singing and it really relaxes me :)

Because I work online, even if I dont feel good I still have to work and that is all so, I am so stuck working on my sick days. I have to say that I continue to work whenever I am at home.

I love to read and I love to write so when I have some time (which seems to be almost never) I pick up a good book or work on a story.

I'm working but even if I'm home you'll never see me doing nothing. When I'm home specially during weekends I normally do all my household chores like laundry and cleaning my room. When I'm done doing all my tasks I do some personal habits like surfing the net, chatting with online friends, posting on Mylot, watching movies, reading books, etc. I mean there's a lot of things that could make me busy even if when I'm at home. Before I usually tend to go out and hang out with friends but when everybody's seems busy and you can't find anyone to talk personally I go online and look for friends to talk to. And it's good that I found Mylot to deal my boredom at times because here, it sounds and feels like you're talking to friends too whenever you respond or post discussions.

When I am bored, I usually call up my friends and asks them to hangout with me somewhere else but since you said that you have a sprain in your ankle and your stuck at home, I usually listen to my ipod when I am stuck at home or surf the net or even go for a movie or dvd marathon for the whole day! I love watching movies its one of my favorite past time. I suggest that you watch a movie it will consume most of your time already. :)
