Bored? Things to do with absolutly nothing...
Hi there... Bored? Absolutely nothing to do? Wish you could stave off that boredom?
Well now you can! Oh yes.....how to keep yourself amused with absolutely nothing at all. Read on...
1) Press your eyes for an interesting light show
(Fun Factor: 1-5 minutes)
See a variety of blobs,stars and flashes. Try to make out things - is your subconsciousness trying to send you a message? Can you control what you see by pressing different areas with different forces? Would it be possible to some how see the same effects on TV? OR, for that matter, watch TV with your eyes shut doing this :eek:
2) Scratch yourself
(Fun Factor: 1-3 minutes)
Go ahead, scratch yourself now, even if nothing itches. Doesn't that feel good?
3) Stare at something, shut eyes, study 'After Image'
(Fun Factor: 2-5 minutes)
It takes about 30 seconds of staring to create an after image, and the image is then viewable for about the same length of time. Fun to combine this one with pushing your eyes.
4) Get yourself as nauseated as possible
(Fun Factor: 5-10 minutes)
Best achieved by looking straight up and spinning around. Try to be so dizzy that you can't even stand up. This is also entertaining due to the 'makes boredom seem a lot better' effect.
And last but not least....
5) Try not to think about penguins
(Fun Factor:1-5 minutes)
This is especially hard because, by trying too much, you remember what you were trying to avoid thinking of. If you try too little, you end up thinking about penguins anyway...
So...there you go folks. Five ways to keep that boredom at bay, enjoy....:D
