"I'm bored, entertain me"

[Frostweaver]

Somehow, the above question is immensely popular as the first line to me from 90% of all my online friends o_O; After a couple years of handling

"I'm bored <whines> I'm bored <whines more> borrreeeed"

I'm honestly out of ideas on what to say ><; It's making far too many 'awkward silence moments' for me because I have no idea how to reply to that. I've always tried telling them to pick up a new hobby, do some work, and try other types of stuff to do, but then the reply is always how all of those stuff are also boring or they are just apathetic about those stuff. Afterward, they continue to nag about being bored...

Are you somehow fortunate enough to hardly face this scenario?
If you aren't so lucky like me, what do you say in response to it o.o;

[Kayleigh]

Well, I sometimes get stuck in this situation when I'm talking to a certain friend of mine... simply because we talk to each other almost every single day, and eventually we end up running out of things to chat about. Because we always act completely random together, that results in some pretty weird messages getting sent back and forth. Example:

Me: I'm boooored.
Her: Same here. XD
Me: XD
Her: XDD
Me: XDDDD
Her: XDDDD
Me: XD;
Her: >__>;
Me: ...
Her: .......
Me: ............
Her: .... I'm bored. XD
Me: XD Me too.

Believe it or not, that's actually the kind of stuff that we type. :x Occasionally we'll come up with an interesting subject, though! Like chocolate.

[Forever]

I'm normally the one who says I'm bored~But rarely if people say that to me I'd just say XD and then not talk to them for a half an hour until something happens for me to inform the other person on.

[Drifblim]

About half the people who contact me on MSN probably are.

[Lily]

Lol, took one look at the thread title, the thread creator.../rolleyes. =x

I usually just do-

You: I'm bored.
Me: Okay.
You: Unbore me. ;;
Me: Sure. How?
You: I don't know. ;;
Me: Okay.
You: ...
You: I'm bored. ;;

Then again, you might actually be me. >.> Whatever~ xD

[Frostweaver]

Nah, Lily is more like

Lily: let's download <some RO server!>
me: nah
Lily: DO IT >O
me: no time
Lily: OMGosh
me: o.O;
Lily: DO YOU THINK I CARE? DL, NOW!
me: *zzz*
Lily: ;o;

yeah XD;

[Allelujah Haptism]

Hmm, when I'm bored... It usually goes like this:

Me: WOMG YOSHI-KUNS/DAVI-KUN/SHI-CHAN/NATTI-POO WHARE AAAARRRR JOOOO?!?!
Me: *Presses nudge button a billion times even though I can't send any nudges because I disabled them*
Me: *Sends a bunch of sounds to wake people up*
Me: HAAAAY!!! ARE JOO DERE?!?!?

(I never type with good grammar on MSN. xDD I usually spell out words the way they sound. 'Intarnet Ecksplorer'. <--- Yoshi-kuns is so awesome.)

:3 But usually, when it's David, it'll just be...

Me: I'm bored.
David: Me too.

Or

Me: I'm bored.
David: oo

And that's usually the end of the conversation. :3 Usually, when I'm bored, I freak out and go all caps lock happy. I get high on boredom. :x So I get high a lot. <--- That sounds really weird. < <;

[charizard_maa]

When I bored I get on MSN then find the person I want and say. "Hey" From there I go and say what I bored for.

WHen somebody say "I'm bored" that when I go "bananna". From there is get something.

[Lily]

Nah, Lily is more like

Lily: let's download <some RO server!>
me: nah
Lily: DO IT >O
me: no time
Lily: OMGosh
me: o.O;
Lily: DO YOU THINK I CARE? DL, NOW!
me: *zzz*
Lily: ;o;

yeah XD;

Did you download it yet?
/shifty eye
=x

[Frostweaver]

Actually, I was thinking of Zaikiro and 22sa more when I made this XD;

Seems like everyone's solution to this is always to say something totally out of the blue and weird, and hope that the other person will respond with something to say (banana?) What if they also blur out random things though o.o;

[22sa]

That's me alright.... =x

I actually find it very easy to think of new things to chat about, but I get bored of chat too, you see.

It all depends on your interests. I like to play with imagination, so it ain't hard to find something to chat about.... But for the same reason, I also often want things that are out of my reach or can't find other people who'd agree with me to a far extent, and therefore suffer boredom in the long run. :\

[Ullion]

Ya, 22sa, you always come to me and say "I'm boreeeeeeeeeeeed"

You've done it so many times I can't even remember how I reply.. >.>"

Oh yes, and someone else ONLY talks to me when (s)he is bored. Wow, what a confidence booster. >O

Obviously we need to exchange info to prepare ourselves in case of 22sa asking again XD; (and I just had a very short convo with 22sa, and that... died ><; Sigh, 22sa how am I suppose to keep up chats with you, lol)

[22sa]

Perhaps my path is too obscure..... :P

Oh well, use your imagination. It ain't hard, but it ain't necessarily worthwhile either, so don't get worried about it. :P

[Frostweaver]

Those "use your imagination" thing isn't so... easy for everyone. That's why I always think that it's rather unjust of what you say sometimes about other people o.O; Not everyone can be so easily gifted in starting convos (aka, me, and thus why start this topic XD), or be imaginative.

For example, I can go on and on about how a particular damage calculation formula in a RPG is unfair in x and y amount of ways, but cannot do junk about "I'm bored." Hm?

It's true. It ain't easy if you don't have a goal. That's why I add the goal of speed posting for normal conversations. Idle conversations shouldn't occur so frequently. Other activities are needed. xD;

[Ullion]

Hey Frosty, just talk to him about her xDD then you got a good convo going! ;D

And also, about the random word spit outs, if both people doing it, it could be a random word competition. Darn I would SO want to do that! >D

[Himawarii]

Hmm..when someone says I'm bored,I just respond to them "DO SOMETHING" D:
My friend usually stop talking than come back at me with a "Jieferiygtrgniryt45ty8" response xDD;; Usually though,I'd be full of pep and energy to start some strange convo though ^^;

[~Seadra~]

Ugh, people always IM me with stuff like that, and it drives me crazy. I'm horrible at starting or holding convos, so I'll usually not respond for a while, and when I do, it's just with whatever I'm doing online at the time (i.e., go play backgammon, go post on some forum, go play a few flash games). Or I'll suggest we RP if I'm in no particular hurry. If none appeal to them, I'll say I have to leave. >> << >>

... Yeah; I fail at entertaining others. XD;

[Abby]

I have serious problems with the credibility of your anecdote. I just can not believe it.

I sometimes get into those situations, though. It's strange; there are some people I never have this problem with, and others I can never find anything to talk about with. And I'm not exactly sure why. XD;

[Kenny_C.002]

I'm a self-propagating awkward moment of nothing to sayness. That is until I enter mania or something.

[Frostweaver]

... the Lily simulated log, along with the reference to 22sa/Zaik going "I'm bored" a lot on me are the only claims I made here. So no I did not project any images that involve of me lying about how I'm "popular" when in fact I'm a loser with no-life ^_^

True true... sometimes I got no problems at all talking with Niko/some real life friends. But, I've got problems talking with... when Lily isn't in her talkative mood; with 22sa lately (strange, no problems before though lol... summer night marathon chats with 22sa too XD); with Zaik... yeah.

[Kenny_C.002]

Strange, I don't see 22sa much lately myself either. What happened to him anyway? It's NOT the time factor, considering we're in the same province...

[Frostweaver]

His laptop died, so you will only catch him if you're online at a time when he's also at university. He got no net access unless he's at univerisity... Most likely because of the exact reason why you're in the same province and got no time difference, you miss him. You're at school when he's also at school, which is also the only time he's online.

XD;

But hey, anything that helps with 22sa's boredom works! If you got methods, PM me about it XD;

[Kenny_C.002]

Beats me. All I know is that we watch some similar anime series and what not. I guess you can try feeding him stuff from Legendaryfrog of newgrounds or something. :p

[Frostweaver]

I expected that someone of 22sa's caliber will have already explored the entire world of youtube and newgrounds combined, along with every single anime and manga released already. At least, apparently he's also bored of chatting and anime too... so I can only assume all of that.

... Shouldn't you know these stuff since you've been friends with him for so long? You've joined PC like, a million years earlier than me so I'll assume that you'll also know more than 22sa and therefore, can solve half of my dilemma ^_^

[Kenny_C.002]

He's never been to Magic nor Marvel VS yet. You can bombard him with that. Though I don't think it would be very successful. And it's physically impossible for him to have seen more Higurashi than I anyway. Or at least I don't think he saw it yet, "When Cicadas Cry" (aka Higurashi).

[Captain Arcane]

This is how it goes:

Person: I'm so bored........*sigh*, I'm soooooooooooo BORED!!!!
Me: Wanna Play kick the cat?!

^_^
Hahahahahaha, just kidd'n
"Come here fluffy" ^o^ Lauphing Out Loud

Whenever they say it to you again, just stuff a sock in there mouth, and tie there hands behind there back, and reply with: "I'm sorry, what did you say?" That should solve all your problems! =P

[Zaikiro]

I believe this is related to a recent conversation with frostweaver a few days ago.

Zai:I'm Bored
Frosty: o.o
Zai: I was watching Schindler's List but the movie failed on me.
Frosty: Awww, but that's movie is so good.
Zai: Yeah, it is.
Zai: But I'm bored now.
Frosty: o.o

[Dawg 2005]

I tell people to entertain me, but they should know I'm only kidding. XD I reply to it by saying one of few things, "XD," "Sucks for you," or "Okay."

There you people go, now you know what to say. XD

[Misayu]

I'm like that with my boyfriend sometimes. There will be a moment where we run out of things to say and likewise, I can't actaully say I'm bored...he would think I'm bored of him...which I'm not. XD Just bored in general~ :P

I also get bored of talking on the phone since I'm not a phone person...like if a friend calls me...I wont have much to say because I just....dont have anything to say. D:

So yeah~ I get bored easily. : <

[Frostweaver]

I tell people to entertain me, but they should know I'm only kidding. XD I reply to it by saying one of few things, "XD," "Sucks for you," or "Okay."

lol, but it still sounds like a dead topic to me, but just that it last a line longer than me XD;

Dawg: I'm bored
Me: o.o;
Dawg: I'm kidding man XD; sheesh
Me: =o
Dawg: ...

XD;

[Ullion]

=O Kenny, you live in Canada too? Wow, I'm so behind. xD

And also, ya'll should know this, but 22sa is bored of you because he is distracted. ^.^

[22sa]

I have serious problems with the credibility of your anecdote. I just can not believe it.

I sometimes get into those situations, though. It's strange; there are some people I never have this problem with, and others I can never find anything to talk about with. And I'm not exactly sure why. XD;
The reasons you can't talk with everybody because not everybody can respect your interests.

Strange, I don't see 22sa much lately myself either. What happened to him anyway? It's NOT the time factor, considering we're in the same province...Yeah, what Frostweaver said. I'll return to AIM as soon as my laptop is repaired... which is at least another 2 weeks wait. ;o;

And I am going to look for you at the AnimeCon this coming May, so be there. :x

If you want to know how to take care of my bored mood so much though, just ask Dactylus. He's a genius when it comes to these things. xD I say that from first-hand experience, of course. He invites all his female acquaintances in for me to flirt with. =x =x xD lol Oh God is Dactylus is cool.

[~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~]

Yea I say that I'm bored alot on myspace, I post a bulletin stating that I'm bored and alot of people reply back in comments only because I ask them to do it. I have like over 5000 friends on myspace.

:t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~

[DeM0nFiRe]

Well my friends say that alot and every time i say the same thing with one variable:

"Hey you wanna play[X]?"
[X]= Battlefield, Soldierfront or Gunz
