Feel free to add your own personal boredom breaking activities. 🙂

I don’t think I’d ever be bored enough to do number 32

I know what you mean, nursemyra. I’d probably never be bored enough to do most of what’s on the list, but I still think it’s quite funny.
One thing I love doing when I’m bored is putting on some very LOUD music and dancing like a crazy person in my livingroom. 🙂
Anyone else want to add to the list?

When I’m bored I Stumble.

I play really old video games, and try to find new ways to handicap myself to make the game tougher. For example, I won’t pass the first level, I’ll try to dance around the computer monsters, etc. as long as I can.

Yeah, I’ve been Stumbling a lot since yesterday, mystarbucks.
Hmmm, I’ve never played video games, Arnie, but maybe I could play against the robots on Scrabulous…
