I'll start...

when I am single like right now, I do either one of these:

1. sit on dxp
2. chat
3. read
4. dressup like a freak to entertain myself
5. dance around & sing to songs i would never have my friends catch me owning a CD of
6. cook & sip of wine all romantically, ohhhhh baby, self love! lol
7. sleep on pretty much every couch & bed in the house, moving one to another to pretend I am actually doing something
8. write stuff - which sounds violent the next morning
9. do some oil painting which i either throw out later in disgust or frame & call it my new favorite
10. gawd, i'm a loser for admitting this shite!

He hurt me? I only wish that was the situation! I DO NOT stay in a relationship where I don't feel mutual. It only hurts the other person. I didn't want to drag things on, unlike many other desparate co-dependants.

Yes, I'll continue my life, it is smart to sit home & relax & think so you don't make the same mistakes again. I think that's been my mistake in the past. I really don't want to go down that road again. Live and learn.

I still am interested in what YOU do when you're bored!

Interesting. Although I am not one to dwell in problems either. I am not a pessimistic and prefer to call myself a realist. I enjoy problem solving, and sometimes my "boring" times is the times I really dig deep into my creative time. Hence why I was asking what everyone else does when they are bored - or in other words what people do in their times of solitude.

Hmmmm what do I do when I'm bored?

I write- poems, very short stories(usually related to death), ideas, meanings etc
I read- magazines, articles, cereal boxes
I draw- (or doodle) I really wish I had the talent of drawing so I could draw all sorts of cool images in my head, always draw little characters and make up dumb little cartoons
I take pictures- of... mainly myself
I play with pics on the computer
I dance- which I love
I mix and match clothing and shoes and think of hairdos that I might wear with a certain outfit and think of what I might need to buy to complete an outfit that I'll never wear because when I decide to wear it I think something goes better with something else
I pay my bills which many times I discover are overdue
I comtemplate the possibility of working out
I look into my old stuff and sometimes find cool things 😛
I sometimes color in my first grade coloring book
I take a long hot bath... frequently replacing the cooler water with more hot water and eat grapes
I sometimes decide to organize my mess... sommmmmetimes
I try to reteach myself to rollerblade... someday I'll learn again!

"I pay my bills which many times I discover are overdue

lol,um those are things you want to make routine my dear so you won't be bored doing them lol.Oh hey,I just thought of something with that,Taurusgoddess,if you work out first thing in the morning you will have more energy throughout the whole day moreso than you would by working out any other time of the day.Working out gives you an energy rush let alone so making it as early as possible you gives you the chance for everything else to seem like you're not doing anything.For you energy thing with the other topic,starting early working out,gives you a better jumpstart for the day so your not rushing and therefore not stressing yourself out more doing it🙂

Thanks Tiamat, I'll start tommorow morning with some juice, light breaky & a workout. I wanna get more into my pilates, I find that refreshing as I'm stretching as well. Right now, believe it or not I CAN'T sleep! Maybe I just have a lot on my mind and it's throwing me off balance. Between death, vacation, the holiday & a break up I really need to just put my energy & mind in the right place and start the year right.

Oh Tauruschic, "might need to buy to complete an outfit that I'll never wear because when I decide to wear it I think something goes better with something else" done it. Doesn't that suck? I swear I played dressup too much as a kid! lol

#11. - walk to fridge, get beer, sit on couch, get up look in fridge, grab food, look at flyers at table, walk back to fridge, stand with door open and guzzle milk, yank out 6 pickles out of jar and grab some cheese. Slice it up and look at stove meaningfully. Jump on counters and grab some crackers. Walk to fridge and pull out a huge assortment of veggies, meats and sauses and 4 hours later wonder how the h=ll you're still cooking a feast, oh a 2boot all for your lonesome self. 😛

I know... I'm a terrible procrastinator and have the horrible tendency to do it when I have nothing more interesting to do 😛

"OK, so haff has no response to the real question eh?"

Real question? It's you who are wasted right now, not me. Perhaps you should think about it from this perspective.

I will tell you what's wrong. You are a person with no any real goal. You just live your own life and get scewed up by various people who enter into your life and you set your goals, routiene life and so on with people around you and at the end you mess up all what you have. And when they dump you you simply become you become directionless. And you know why? Because you do not have your own one to follow it. If you would have your own direction, you would not really care about people and you would never get bored since you would always find something to do according to your goal.

And yeah, your life rythm is set by others. Congrats.

I am rarely bored, I am always doing something. I am either knitting, designing, painting, reading, or on the computer if I am home, otherwise I am out with my friends or snowboarding. Planning trips is another favourite pasttime. I love to travel. That's where all my money goes, since I don't like shopping.

I can see your strengths, Haff. Just remember never to judge a person you don't know. Life will be much more rewarding.

Like I said, my times of solitude are times when I search deeper into my creative self. You have never seen my paintings many of which have been sold, nor read work which has won various awards, and you have never known who I am, a person who loves people and is inspired by them. I am no island. If anything God is my strength and my guide. I wish the best to you as well. You definately made me realize something Haffo, or whatever you name is, how I never want to be.

I didn't come to this topic to attack anyone TG. All I was planning to do is to bring some different point of view that actually works for me.

But I wasn't starter of bitter. Nor my nature is to be judgemental. However, when someone bugs me, I do reflect.

I said it in funny way, not sexual one. There is similair saying in Turkish like this one. But translating it exactly on Engish could sound very rude (it says "I come and kick your ass") so I made it mild to not offend pepople.

" how come you don't talk to me like this, you kitty"

You didn't left room for discussing. You just said you wont talk anymore, which means for me "Discussion is over".

" RECOGNIZE, I am antagonizing him only because he is so STUPID!"

Yeah I am stupid. And how come you become a lonely mother?

" Yeah I am stupid. And how come you become a lonely mother?"

But the difference between you and me is that: I do not smear shit of people on their faces like you do. That explains why you are such an asshole.
