Would you rather be extremely busy or terribly bored?
Me: extremely busy. Boredom is a killer.

1. If I was extremely bored,
could I smoke weed and play on DU?

5. As much as I hate being busy and always wish I could just stop
I still think it is preferable over extreme boredom.

4. I cannot imagine being bored.
I had a job once where I was really bored, but I just got addicted to internet bulletin boards and that pretty much took care of things.

I'd rather be busy which is probably why I overextend myself routinely. You too I presume? ;)

9. Well right now I'm having the opposite problem
and it's quite strange to me. I'm not used to boredom. I have ended up with too much day and not enough to do. We've already played two board games, watched a Harry Potter DVD, mopped the kitchen, gone grocery shopping and taken a nap.

Boredom sucks. And the weather has been horrible, with another storm on its way now.

Ah well. There are worse things.

6. I don't like being busy...
..but it makes the day go faster. I don't get bored like others I know, who seem to need to go places and do things elsewhere. I could go for weeks without doing anything, as long as I had some books and a connected computer.

7. Busy can be fun, but I find I'm never bored.
Us conspiracy theorists have active imaginations and all that.

10. Boredom is a foreign concept to me.
I'd like to experience it at least once, I guess. ;) But I'd immediately fill the time with something to read, something to write, something to dream about ... so, I guess it's hopeless....

12. I have an infinite threshold of boredom.
Roots could grow out of my ass into the couch and I wouldn't notice, as long as I have a working internet connection and DU.

18. I do - started one on cell phones and their usage and
it got a couple of hits and sunk

started some others - they might get 1-10 hits and then they are gone

yours now - they have 25 + hits in the first minute

14. Extremely busy
Oh yes, Boredom has been common thing for me lately. So bored sometimes I could smash my head with a brick to release the frustration from the boredom.

21. Gotta agree with you there... though a day or two of doing nothing
once in a while is priceless.
