Do you consider yourself a boring or exciting person?

[Haole Girl]

I've become a boring person.

No idea, really, when it happened. But it did.

(sigh)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. i used to be very exciting to a lot of people. now i am mostly boring

and only occasionally exciting. hopefully i am often exciting to lisa.

[Haole Girl]

3. YOU are one of the last people I would ever call boring

:hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. thank you. i am pretty boring day to day though. work and classes and monogamy

will do it to you.

no regrets though. there is a time and a place for everything and i am no longer 23 :)

[NewJeffCT]

17. I think it would be exciting

just to be around you, and I'm sure Lisa feels the same.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. aww thank you. i hope she does.

[NewJeffCT]

20. of course

I'd probably get excited just watching you inhale & exhale... so I might not be most qualified to say that about Lisa.

[SteppingRazor]

2. I suppose I'd consider myself mostly exciting with intermittent phases of boring. n/t

[Haole Girl]

4. Lucky you

I would take that.

[auntAgonist]

6. BORING.

look up boring in the dictionary. It's got my picture there.

:hi:

aA

[Haole Girl]

7. Haha! Noooo...

People as kind as you don't ever fall into that category. :hug:

[auntAgonist]

28. thanks for the kindness comment ... but truly

I'm not an exciting person, my life is sort of humdrum. I don't have much spark. I think I used to though. I work, I eat, I sleep rinse and repeat.

:hug:

aA

[Haole Girl]

39. You and I should discuss this at a later date....

...unfortunately, work is busy now.

Write me, ok? :hug:

[Lil Missy]

8. Boring. But I don't have a problem with that. n/t

[Haole Girl]

9. Reminds me of a Mark Twain quote I ran across last night...

"A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval."

[Lil Missy]

22. That works for me.

I may be boring, but I am loyal, faithful, caring, etc., and don't care for drama or unnecessary conflict. I LIKE a boring life.

However, if pushed too far, I can get pretty snarky, and I've been known to fire back with both barrels. It takes a while, and a lot to push me that far, but I can always win a war of words and wits.

[datasuspect]

10. i'm who i am

and i decide what that is.

[Haole Girl]

12. I guess we all do, ultimately, decide

Don't we?

[LeftinOH]

11. I'm exciting.. everyone in the knitting club says so...n/t

[Haole Girl]

13. Hey, knitting doesn't seem boring to me

I wish I could knit... and, someday I'll learn. Maybe later in life, though, when my poor wrists are not so overused. :-)

[NewJeffCT]

14. I've always been pretty boring

on good days. on bad days, exceptionally boring.

[Haole Girl]

15. You are not!

But I knew you were going to say that. :hi:

[Fleshdancer]

16. I don't consider myself boring or exciting

I'm calmly humorous. :)

[Haole Girl]

18. When I do manage to be humorous...

...people usually get the hic ups (really... I used to make my sister-in-law laugh so hard she'd get the hic ups! lol :-)

[Fleshdancer]

21. You would probably make me cry then....

it's an unfortunate side effect when I laugh too hard.

[Haole Girl]

24. Laughing until you cry is a healthy thing...

I used to do it all the time, too. Not so much anymore.

[ghostsofgiants]

23. I'm a pretty boring person, I think.

Not all that interesting.

[Haole Girl]

25. Well, in my book....

nobody with dreadlocks is boring. You're just not allowed! :hi:

[trof]

26. I think I'm an interesting person.

Interested?
;-)

[Haole Girl]

27. Haha!

Airline people usually aren't boring. I am the exception.

[Ano Genitus]

29. Yes.

[Haole Girl]

30. Yes, what?

:shrug:

[Pacifist Patriot]

31. Boring

[Haole Girl]

33. I doubt that

:hug:

[Pacifist Patriot]

37. LOL! Nothing gets me going like a good book and utter silence...

in which to read it. I'd say that counts as boring to everyone else around me. Though I do have some moments. :)

[guitar man]

32. It depends...

...on what I'm doing :evilgrin:

[Haole Girl]

34. I better not ask

O8)

[guitar man]

36. Aha!

Mind went straight to the gutter eh? :evilgrin:

this is probably about as exciting as it gets for me these days ;)

[RadiationTherapy]

35. exciting, restless, creative, handsome...

married, mortgaged, overworked, overweight

[Haole Girl]

38. Up until the overworked part....

you were doing really well! ;-)

[RadiationTherapy]

41. I'm on the verge; change is comin.

I have my eye on going into debt a bit so I can cut back on hours and go back to school.

[Fox Mulder]

40. I consider myself exciting, but people probably find me boring.

Oh well.

[Haole Girl]

46. I can tell when people find me boring.

Often I wish I couldn't though.

[redqueen]

42. Boring. And I love it.

:)

[Haole Girl]

47. You know you are not!

:-)

[redqueen]

97. Oh but I really sincerely and truly am!

I'm a homebody. :)

[x-g.o.p.er]

43. Heinously boring

But boring is good.

[Haole Girl]

48. Is boring good?

Tell me how.

[GoreVidalIsGod]

44. Exciting.

I am a gay afterall. We have all the fun.

[Haole Girl]

50. Hmm..

Welcome to DU.. I see you are new here. :hi:

[qnr]

45. I'm basically a "who cares" kind of person. I just do whatever happens

to intrigue me, be it boring or exciting.

[Haole Girl]

52. That is probably the best

We can't really "reinvent" ourselves to become exciting, anyway.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

49. Depends on the moment

Sometimes I just don't have the energy to be exciting.

[Haole Girl]

53. Well, I certainly understand that feeling.

I'm feeling that at this very moment.

[youthere]

51. I'm boring as hell...and I like it that way.

[Haole Girl]

54. Wish I could feel content with it. nt

[TK421]

55. I'm boring...depending on the occasion.

But I suspect you guessed that already :hi:

[Haole Girl]

56. Hardly!

Someone who almost gets into brawls every time they step into a bar is not boring! lol

[TK421]

57. Well...maybe not brawls, but nobody has attempted to take my picture

as of late ;-) I suppose that's a plus

[Haole Girl]

58. That's good!

Especially for them! ;-)

[RevolutionaryActs]

59. I think I'm boring.

:shrug:






Unless I'm drinking copious amounts of liquor, then I can be exciting. Loud, but exciting. :rofl:

[Haole Girl]

60. Hey, copious amounts of liquor can make anyone exciting!

You don't need that, btw! :hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

61. You do have a point on that one.

:rofl:





And thank you. :hug:

[NMDemDist2]

62. BOORRRRIIINNNGGGGGG

and I like it!

[Haole Girl]

63. Do you really like it? Why?

(if you don't mind me asking). Btw, I don't get that impression of you.

[NMDemDist2]

69. yup

I can go literally days at a time never leaving my property and the only other human I speak to is my husband

I don't drink or smoke dope, I don't have a job, I don't even read many books anymore.

I DU, cook, garden, clean and play online bridge.

Quiet, boring and I like it.

That may change a bit as the election season moves on, it got kinda crazy before the caucus here and I'm heading up to ABQ for the State Convention and I expect to be pretty active this fall

[Haole Girl]

71. See! You already blew your theory!!

As the election season moves on, so will you! :-)

[terrya]

64. I'm boring.

Dull, dull, dull, dull, dull.

[Haole Girl]

68. *sigh*

You know you are not. Where have you been, anyway? Have you been around and I just haven't seen your posts?

[terrya]

74. I'm around at times.

I've been spending some time in GDP. Don't ask. :-)

Thanks.

[NaturalHigh]

65. Boring...extremely.

[Haole Girl]

70. But.... but...

you are "NaturalHigh"!! ;-)

I love that username, btw. When I was a young, health food nut, I used to use that term all the time.

[NaturalHigh]

75. Yeah, but it doesn't take much to get me high.

Two ibuprofen, a beer, a cigarette, and a DVD can keep me feeling good for the night.

[Shine]

66. I've been both, depending on the timing.

:D

[Haole Girl]

72. That is a very good answer, actually

:D

[Ptah]

67. Boring.

Bore you to tears boring.

[Haole Girl]

73. I don't believe that for a second, Ptah

Did you cut your hair? I meant to respond in that thread, but never did... I like it that length! :hi:

[Ptah]

76. Yes, I did cut it.

In real life I'm quiet, reserved.

[Haole Girl]

77. Wow, you did!

Are you sure that's you?!?

It looks great.. really.

And, I happen to know quiet and reserved does not equal boring. :hi:

[Ptah]

78. But the question was if I considered myself boring.

:shrug:

[Haole Girl]

79. Hey, it's my thread!

And it was too late to edit it!

:rofl:

[Ptah]

82. sorry. carry on.

[MassLiberal]

80. I think I'm boring to some people

and exciting to others.

[Haole Girl]

81. That's all one can really hope for

Thanks :hi:

[DarkTirade]

83. I'm fairly boring at the moment

but esoteric enough that the people who'd want to hang out with me would do so anyway. :)

[Haole Girl]

90. Esoteric and boring are not synonyms..

that's for sure! :-)

[mwdem]

84. Boring now. I used to be an exciting person..

I guess life happened. Some people think I'm exciting, but they're not around me that often. Sigh....

[femmocrat]

87. Same here, mwdem.... how does that happen?

I used to "have a life" at one time.... Now it's just work, sleep, work, sleep... totally boring.

[mwdem]

88. We're in a rut, that's for sure!

We need more time in Hawaii. We have a friend who's looking for land to build on in Kauai. We met them out there. They're also building outside of Santa Fe. Risk takers, but very successful at it.

[Haole Girl]

91. THAT is exactly how I feel!

:hug:

[femmocrat]

85. I even bore my dogs.

They would rather play with my SO! LOL

[Haole Girl]

92. Same here...

..lately... with my cats. :cry:

[GigiMommy]

86. Boring to the OUTSIDE world...

fun and exciting for those who REALLY know me.

[Haole Girl]

93. Interesting

:hi:

[drmeow]

89. My life used to be exciting

now its ... well, not boring but inactive (more so than I'd like) with moments of great excitement and activity (usually revolving around travel).

Boring and exciting are not really endpoints on the same continuum. At the same time they are not orthogonal variables (how's THAT for boring word :)) The opposite of boring is not exciting but interesting. The opposite of exciting is not boring but calm. You can have calm and boring things, you can have calm and interesting things, you can have calm and boring things, but I think it is hard to have exciting and boring things.

People don't seem to find me boring but I also don't know that they find me exciting, per se. They find me interesting.

[Haole Girl]

94. Good points...

Interesting, to me, how I avoid the word calm so often!

:rofl:

[bigwillq]

95. Exciting

Excite! :bounce:

[Haole Girl]

96. Is that a command?!

:rofl:
