Stuff 2 Do When You're Really, REALLY Bored




1. Do like me and make your own home page! All you need plus a free server to put it up on at Geocities. Don't forget to get a guestbook and put up your email address so you can get feedback and mail. Oh, and if you want to steal some pictures, visit my picture gallery.
2. Visit my links! You can find them all on the page just for you, Ye of Little Life!
3. Clean, clean, clean. No your mom is not paying me to say this! I hate it too but you've gotta admit it is kinda satisfying getting that sorta shtuff done.
4. Try to figure out the meanings behind stuff, shtuff, and schtuff. The first two are easiest. Email me if you still can't get any of them.
5. Watch somebody (a sibling, perhaps?) go insane by playing the game Roses, Petals. A page explaining this and - someday (send me some!) - other games is now here! Visit it now.
6. Make somebody a card for absolutely no reason.
7. Play like you're a dog and go bite somebody. (Just kidding, though a friend of mine did this recently at a dance party!)
8. Start a journal. You'll be surprised what you can learn about yourself.
9. Come up with some ideas for my list yourself (I'm running low here . . . ) and mail them to me at karen@akaren.com with something about ideas for stuff to do in the subject.
10. Make random mix tapes with totally ecclectic collections of your favorite music. The more contrast between songs, the better. (I have an awesome one that goes from Requiem to Celine Dion to Little Mermaid to . . . .)
11. Sing along with your parents' opera CD's at top volume 'til your neighbors think you're insane.
12. Take pictures of you, your friends, and anyone else doing something interesting at your school to give to the yearbook comittee at your school. (If they're anything like the 3 I've been on, they'll be really grateful.) Remember, weird is good, cheesy is better, candid is wonderful, and totally unique is perfect. But don't turn in anything you don't want published.
13. ite-Wray a-hay iend-fray a-hay etter-lay in-hay ig-Pay atin-Lay. It-hay ay-may ive-dray em-thay uts-nay, ut-bay it-hay is-hay un-fay and-hay is-hay a-hay eat-gray ime-tay aster-way. ust-Tray e-may on-hay is-thay one-hay!
14. Write an ex a letter in a language he/she doesn't know telling them off. Pass it on and it'll annoy them for a long time. (Warning: do not do this if you can't put up with flirting, since they may mistranslate.)
15. Hide your little brother's toothbrush and see how long it takes him to catch on.
16. Organize your closet.
17. Get in shape. Even if you do one situp or pushup today then double it daily, you'll be doing 64 by the end of the week!
18. Read something you've been putting off reading. (School reading list, anyone?) It may not be as bad as you think. Just convince yourself you're reading it for your own enjoyment.
19. Count and wrap your change. If you, like most people, don't do this too often (or at all) you'll be surprised at how much money you didn't know you had.
20. Research and write and extra credit paper (maybe for astronomy) on 3rd Rock's scientific possibilities. Ponder life on other planets. Hey, you never know!
21. Email someone you really can't stand and attatch half your hard drive so it takes them ten hours to download.
22. Catch up on your Sesame Street. It's changed a lot in the past few years. And there are a lot of jokes only someone over ten would understand.
23. Learn to tie a necktie and bow tie. Guy or girl, you may well be glad you did someday.
24. Rig "nibbles" on your computer (it should come with basic/qbasic) so you get a million lives. Even if you don't know basic (like me) you can probably figure it out.
25. Volunteer. For inspiration, see my Circle K webpage.
26. There's a bee by your head. (bzzzzzzz . . . .) Really! Look, it's over there! No wait, it just flew over there. Yeah, behind your head. Don't swat at it you idiot! It'll sting you! SLAM! There! got it! Okay, go on.
27. Do a little research and find me a good lawyer for when people actually start doing this stuff.
28. Read a newspaper. Yes, you. Admit it, you're probably a little behind on the news. I don't mean the "news," the sensationalized stuff that makes the TV commercials, I mean stuff (even some, gasp, good news) that affects us and is a little closer to the truth.
29. Try to find my "hidden" page. There's links to it on this and my main page. It's tougher than you may think. 'Til you find it.
30. Learn to play an instrument. It may not seem so great now, but when you find yourself with a crush on someone in band you'll be happy you did. (Can we say, "private tutoring?")

Ideas by other people

31. Make your own list of things 2 do when your bored. Compare them to yours/mine
32. Find your favourite song, or one U really like. Pick out 1 sentence (Not the title!) in the song and put it in your search engine. You will be at least 10% suprised at the matches. [Insert your sentence here]
33. Dress up like you're favourite celebrity.Go to school/work/shopping and don't notice the people staring/laughing. Pick someone with their own style. The more unique the look the better.
34. Walk your Cat/Guinea Pig/Goldfish bowl on skateboard.
35. Put on a fur coat and studded color. Put your favourite T-shirt on your dog. Then enjoy a long walk.
36. Type in 2 words that are not related in any conceivable way. Another way to be suprised. (Flying-Rock, Time-for-dirt, Jeweled-shelves,.......)
37. Go into the "Bored Chat Room." There's one on Yahoo. Ask if they know ltlhht. :)

38. Roach races: the roach are fast insects, the problem is to line up, because they donīt trust in us. If they fly that kind of race is not a good idea.
39. Mice races: the most common idea, the mice are intelligent with the proper stimulus (usually cheese), but they bite so hard (Believe me i know what I say)
40. I you think that kind of races is weird, maybe you are right, then I can tell you take your savings and go to the race track, look a nice horse and pray a lot, maybe you can get some extra money.

41. Put grapes in the microwave and watch them spark!
#41 submitted by Julie
42. Drink as much beer as possible, this way you are bored but don't realise it!
43. Find things wrong with people/products/companies and threaten to write them letters only you never do of course
44. Wander around aimlessly on the web looking for an interesting site (congrats by the way...)
45. Actually join a band, that takes up a lot of my time
46. SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP until you can sleep no more
47. Borrow your 'friends' car and do burn outs
48. Borrow your parents car, say you'll drive it nicely and then do burnouts. If they find out, say someone high jacked you and forced you into it. This doesn't work in Australia but hey, America appears to have so many opportunities!
49. Watch really boring day time television, pick a word and record how many times it is said in one episode
50. Win a million dollars and then spend it all
51. FInally, get everything in your house that you don't like any more and burn it. This is especially good if it happens to be winter at the time, mmm heat....
#42-51 submitted by Frank
52. Go around the internet and see how many annoying virtu-pets you can download in two hours! Then try to see how long you can keep them till they die (I have 2 fish, 2 little orange fluff ball thingies, 2 cats, 2 dogs, 4 neopets, a pet rock (a virtu-rock!!! wow eh?) a rabit and an elephant ^-^ )
53. See how many thing you can burn on the stove before the smoke alarm goes off
54. See how many definitions you can come up with for the word "queer"
55. Find out how to say many bad words in many different languages and have a WHOLE lotta fun with peoples you don't like
56. See how long you can cook hot dogs before the turn crispy and black ^-^ (that ones fun)
57. Find out what the word "Snarkiness" is (you know like when the teacher told you to "quit with your snarkiness")
