Yes, I am tired of having not much to do.

I can't get into writing my novel. I have writer's block right now.

Every time I try to play chess, I keep making the same stupid mistakes against the computer.

I can't find anything interesting to draw.

I just made a video and they wouldn't upload it to YouTube and now nobody hardly can watch it.. and I was trying to make an important point.. so I don't know if I should try to make another one.

I just keep hanging out here and there are hardly any new posts to respond to.

I work 11:30-12:30 and then not again until 6pm.

I don't feel like finishing up cleaning my apartment.

Oh well!

Oh, and I can't order the pc game I want because I haven't gotten my paycheck in the mail and it's been two weeks I've been waiting for it to be forwarded from my old address. Sucks!

Sorry to hear about that, I know how it feels.

A few suggestions maybe. Do you cook? If not maybe you can try, and if you can drive, maybe going for a spin once in a while, while listening to the radio. I know for it works for me. Also you could try the long walks. Maybe a solution to your writers block could be a chnge of location. Try going to the park, or a place you feel might inspire you. Hope this helps. :)

I know that feeling of boredness. :(

TV might be a good thing to kill boredness, but I'm guessing you may have already tried that. Try doing something like washing the dishes, it sounds boring it kills time and gives you something to do. :)

I have found ways to get around my writer's blocks. I start writing parts to my story and I can add them to my story later. That's what I love about typing on the computer than writing in notebooks.


Maybe you can get out more like go to book stores and read books. Can you afford going to places like going to fun places or renting movies? Can you go out and take a walk for a half hour? That be great exercise.


Can you listen to music? Do you have video games you can play? Do you color?


I also haven't gotten my SSI check either. Sucks eh and I am having problems with unemployment all because of a dentist appointment I had on Jan. 27th and then I find out today the paper work they sent me, I mailed it to them too late so it explains why I got denied every week. Also the stupid post office mailed me that paper work too late and they sent it out on feb 3rd and I got it like maybe a week later. Stupid post office and stupid me for not doing it ASAP.

I remember what it's like to be really bored, but I could never go, "Oh God, I'm bored!" cos my mum would give me a chore to do, which is worse than being bored, LOL.

But I am literally never bored at home anymore. I'm only bored in class and stuff. But at home I always have something to do. If I'm online I have WP, emails, over 9000 other fun websites, and even if I can't go online I can watch a DVD, read a book, or just go to sleep. There aren't enough hours in the day for me to be bored, in fact I have too little time and too much lazing about to do, LOL. :lol:

Thanks everybody. Well, I fell asleep and then BF came over with barbecue and we watched a movie. I'm going to start working on-line pretty soon.

My novel is about a woman with Asperger's Syndrome and my goal is for people to see through the perspective of one of us. It's hard work, because it's fictional and I keep worrying about putting in a plot climax at the wrong time and my main character has already almost died twice.

It's a challenge!

I like what Benny'nJoon :) said about just writing and arranging the parts later. That's most likely what I will do.

I also have several aspies in my fanfiction but the kid has a autism diagnoses instead because AS wasn't very well known back then and his mother was never diagnosed because they never caught it in her because they did the kid only and the other aspie is a singer and musician and he was never diagnosed either but learned how to fake it and got accepted thanks to his career and he doesn't need a diagnoses because he's rich so he doesn't have to work. I dunno if Sam from Benny & Joon was AS (he was meant to be dyslexic and eccentric in the movie) so I leave it a mystery and sometimes mention rather he has it or not but leave it questionable. Let the readers decide.

Is it the wrong file extension or too long for youtube? dont know what extensions they dont allow though,am always save own videos through the built in windows movie maker first as yt doesnt seem to process when they're straight from camcorder.

just had a look.....copied from youtube:
Quote:
YouTube accepts a wide range of video file formats such as .WMV, .AVI, .MOV and .MPG transferred from most digital cameras, camcorders and mobile phones.

If you don't think your current video file format is recognised by YouTube, you may get the best results by converting your file to MPEG4 video with MP3 audio.

They wouldn't let me upload it because it has Elvis Costello's music in it. I want to try again, using Imogen Heap. I think that's going to be the only way I can get it on YouTube, sadly.

Hey, I re-did it with Imogen Heap's Rake It In. It helped me make a new point at the end:

Autism cure groups "rake it in" for whose benefit?

So.. brand new on YouTube!
