I'm just wondering, what do you guys do when you're bored out of your mind and stuck inside all day?
I've tried all sorts of things..Omegle to sewing and I'm still really stuck.

All my interests are indoors, so I rarely go outside for something other than driving somewhere.

-video games
-movies/tv show (Netflix is awesome)
-writing fiction
-reading
-making music

Sure.

I just started writing again after a long period of not writing. As for music, I have a keyboard hooked up to my computer, where I make music in a program my friend installed for me. I'm no musician, but I've learned some stuff by myself and I'm able to make some pieces of music.

Cool, what sort of stuff do you write? Making music sounds cool! I have a keyboard too but I'm feeling too goddamn lazy tonight. I think I'll just read a book and get an early night.

Great list. I usually choose reading or cleaning with some really good music on. Watching TV usually makes me feel even more bored.

Back when I wrote frequently I wrote about superheroes, horror, and some fantasy. I even wrote a little fanfiction here and there, one of my stories (Star Wars fanfiction) won first place in an online writing contest.

I've recently got back into writing. I've retooled an idea I had in high school about a group of people with powers/magic (not all of them human) who come together to fight uh...things (I haven't really decided yet, lol). As practice I'm writing short background stories on the characters. I've also decided to take fairy tales and children's stories and rework them into horror stories. So far I've started rewriting Alice in Wonderland.

I know neither of those ideas are very original, but I'm writing for my own pleasure.

Remain bored?

If I feel like being constructive I tidy and decorate (there's a reason why my flat is still undecorated - I never feel that constructive when bored!), otherwise it's all about being online for me and I go between a few different sites...if no one is online then I'll obsessively pin items in pinterest.

Oh cool! That actually sounds pretty fun. It'd be fun to reread them in a few years time. Even better, you can enter a contest! :D


AND

Thanks guys! :)

I just draw, or if I owned my own place and weren't renting I'd start a small fire in my bedroom.
