Boredom

[whoiam]

We all know (or should know) that boredom makes people do funny things... in my case, I read Fuyu Ginga's sig and was inspired to give seko her own 'Go Zeke!' sign (at Seko's scale, the writing's unreadable, but that's what it said)

What was the last weird/unusual/embaressing/blackmail-worthy thing you did when you lot were bored out of your skull, skulls, or miscellaneous cognitive organ protection system(s)?

I do love that sign, though! *holds it, waving it with glee* Of course my apprectiation for Zeke goes off the scale because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be allowed to continue existing in this sig, my clone would not be in KillerGM's sig... hooray, Zeke! *wave wave*"

How nice. :D Seko obviously loves his sign. Thank you! X3

When I was last bored out of my skull... I tried to make a new Livejournal layout. It didn't work too well. All that erasing and erasing and erasing... >_O

[whoiam]

If you actually wanna use that one, then its at www.acstudent.co.uk/orangekitty2.gif . Feel free, Seko is your cat, not mine.

Oh, and apologies for the gender mistake - its hard to see through that thick, luxurious fur you got there, Seko...

I don't think I ever tried editing LJ layouts... decorating ain't my thing:(

[Alexia]

LJ layouts is more my thing :wink:

Although I'm all out of creativity...*meh*

[Chancellor Valium]

Tried to write a fiver ;)

[Alexia]

Yes :wink:

[Chancellor Valium]

Huh? Sorry, you've lost me....

[Alexia]

I lost me years ago...

Stay lost. It's more fun :wink:

[Chancellor Valium]

I lost me years ago...

Stay lost. It's more fun :wink:

Indeed. I lost myself in...ooh, must've been 1991...I've never looked apple since ;)

[whoiam]

You two should both band together to create the 'lost' party for the e-trektion...*-)

You have done a great thing, whoiam...

[whoiam]

Great enough to buy forgiveness in my part of the creation of Yodck?

[Zeke]

Awwwwww. You guys....

[PointyHairedJedi]

I lost me years ago...

Stay lost. It's more fun :wink:
And I am just too.


(It's a gratuitous V reference, people! See, I was watching Dune last night, and of course it breifly starts Leonard Cimino. Did I mention my brain is a strange place?)

Anyway, sometimes when I'm bored I make stuff like this:

Given my crapness at Photoshop, that usually fills out half-an-hour just fine. Very occasionally I'll write something like the Pientology article, and even rarer still I actually manage to write a bit of a fiver. Doesn't happen very often at all, though. ;)

Yodck: You say that like it was an illogical thing. *Thwack!* ow!

Richardson: Always wanted to do that back.

You have joined the fold of Morphine. You will be forgiven....for a considerable consideration.....

[Opium]

hehe, the "LOST" party...
I mean, Vote Morphine! :twisted:

Besides reading, writing, studying, watching news, dramas, etc, do crafts, msn people, etc, and doing other real-world stuff to combate bordom, I do some computer-world things to combat boredom, such as write strange things, like the Seko Kidnapped stories, and 'photoshop" I have some cheap photoshop knockoff that came with my scanner) Sims 2 clothes and stuff like this:

BTW, GO ZEKE, you're the ruler of the online parodies![/img]

Drop a thirty-foot pine tree on your foot. I guarantee you will not be bored for at least half an hour.

[Zeke]

Whoa. If that happened to you, I'm really, really sorry. Ouch.

[evay]

^^It did. We were cutting down some dead trees in the yard to use as firewood in our maple sap evaporator. We'd cut through the trunk, but the tree had large radial spoke branches which were holding the whole thing a few feet off the ground. Hubby was trying to trim the two or three branches which were supporting the weight of the trunk. I think I was holding the tree, more or less, so it didn't roll onto him when the support went -- there was some important reason I was standing close to the tree during this operation.

He cut through the critical branch, but happened to be standing behind me (up against a row of bushes so there was nowhere for him to go) when it fell so I couldn't really move without stumbling into the still-running chainsaw.

I chose to let the tree fall on my foot.

[whoiam]

Ouch.

...Just 'Ouch'.

Still, I think we can safely say that most people on this forum would prefer a type of entertainment involving less crushed bones (or, to be more precise, less of their own bones crushed, and more of other people's)

[Hotaru]

I used to play with photoshop. But now that I work at a movie rental place I rent a lot of movies.

Good choice :mrgreen: Still sounds painful though, but I prefer that to the chainsaw option :wink:

[Opium]

I chose to let the tree fall on my foot.

I'm glad you did...it seems to be the better option. I hope your foot heals quickly!

[evay]

I wasn't even bruised, believe it or not. It rolled perfectly down the laces of my hightop. I walked around for a few minutes muttering "ow" and then went back to work collecting firewood.

[PointyHairedJedi]

You really want to be wearing steel toe-capped boots for that sort of thing. Means less bruised feet.

A good thing there was nothing broken, eh?

[mudshark]

Did I mention my brain is a strange place? Not lately, but we're taking it as a given. :mrgreen:

evay, glad there were no adverse consequences but, for the future, don't argue with trees, 'k? They can be somewhat unforgiving.

[Opium]

I wasn't even bruised, believe it or not. It rolled perfectly down the laces of my hightop. I walked around for a few minutes muttering "ow" and then went back to work collecting firewood.

Wow. That's luck, or something! But yah, do wear steal-toed boots. I've heard they really help.

[evay]

^^But the tree hit the top of my foot. Steel on the toes of the boots wouldn't have helped.

[whoiam]

wear a full-steel-boot, then - like the mediaeval knights did...

[PointyHairedJedi]

^^But the tree hit the top of my foot. Steel on the toes of the boots wouldn't have helped.
Well, boots of that sort are usually quite sturdy anyway - what exactly was it you were wearing at the time?

[MaverickZer0]

I don't think I do much when I'm bored. It's sort of like my brain just floats out of my head and starts killing things with Fire Emblem or sometimes Battle Network graphics. All in all, it's very pretty.

[evay]

^^But the tree hit the top of my foot. Steel on the toes of the boots wouldn't have helped.Well, boots of that sort are usually quite sturdy anyway - what exactly was it you were wearing at the time?
Reebok hightop sneakers.

[PointyHairedJedi]

Ah. Well, a pair of workboots prolly would have made some difference, but I expect it still would have smarted some.

[AKAArzosah]

What do i do when i'm bored? Find violent movies with lots of gore and laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh! Mwa Ha Ha!

Speaking of which, this seems like an appropriate place to ask: where is that little animation of the stick-figure-like guy bashing his computer/keyboard with his head? It was here somewhere but i can't find it. I'd like to gross out a friend of mine with it...

[Anonymous]

I know the one that you mean, but I've got no idea where to find it I'm afraid.
