I hardly ever just "get bored," usually only when I'm in a class or something. When I get bored it's because I "get bored of doing something," and then I draw or do something else (like work on my games ^_^)
Exercising is a good thing to do, especially while watching TV....

I never know what to do when I'm bored... that's why I'm bored :P
Probably I end up taking a nap or playing DS. Sometimes I'll make tea :-3

When I'm bored I have a tendency to rotate between the following random tasks: Getting on the computer (Games and Internet included), Playing the Piano (this I do very often), Draw, and every now and then, I write a few scenes or a chapter or two.

I've never played a VN before though... (Shame on me, but where do I find them V.V)
Dysfunctional Systems
Juniper's Knot
Cradle Song, a visual novel in development
Memo, a visual novel

[02:49] <Komi> How is Dysfunctional Systems coming along?
[02:52] <Doomfest> have you seen prince of egypt
[02:53] <Doomfest> do you remember that scene with the storm of bugs
[02:54] <Komi> I know what you are talking about, but I can't remember the scene.
[02:54] <Doomfest> that is what it feels like
[02:55] <Komi> Personality conflicts on the team, I take it?
[02:56] <Doomfest> no
[02:56] <Doomfest> just bugs
[02:56] <Doomfest> storm of bugs

For free VN's - The Ren'Ai Archives for Original English language games, or insani for translated games.

For commercial VN's in English - Either Hirameki International (all ages) or Peach Princess (18+)

Thanks, Ignosto! You have no idea how helpful that is xD (although i think fifteen minutes after posting that, I trailed off to the "completed" forum and started downloading one already to get the look and feel.)

I'll point out that there are a number of games translated by people other than insani. A relatively complete archive is at visualnews.net:

Recently, I've begun to teach myself Japanese. Right now I'm practicing hiragana writing. :3

Thanks :D, I hadn't realised that. On topic: I find when I get bored, I switch between tasks, rather than having something I do directly to overcome boredom. Probably I'd do better by adopting a more concentrated approach to stuff, but I probably end up getting roughly the same amount of 'work' done either way so...

Ah...boredom...I do a whole range of things usually drawing, reading, playing games or just sitting there letting my mind wander off. And sometimes when it does come back I get ideas for stories and comics and such. Then there's sleep or shopping or just hanging out with my friends. And there's that odd instance that I get bored of being bored...lol, what am I talking about... :lol: It's probably the sugar rush...

Ooh, cool! I learn Japanese too. Wanna trade Nihongo knowledge? Speaking of which there's gonna be a Japanese Speech Competition in my uni this august, wish me luck folks cos the winner of the advanced category gets to spend 1 week in Japan, all expense paid trip! Although I doubt that my chances are high...lol

Bored? Bored?? BORED??? Oh, wait...that happens a fair amount for me LOL

Usually when I'm bored I play video games, read fantasy or humor books, or sing. Would LOVE to learn Japanese too...
