Yup. Only my car (when I actually get to drive it) and the swim team workouts (which started today, and the thrill won't last) are all that interesting anymore to me... hence why I've been somewhat absent from NICO for awhile.

Part of it all is stress, really. I guess I could rant for awhile about various things, but let's just say that not a whole lot is going right at the moment.

I'm convinced that I'm cursed as far as women are concerned too, but that's not a story I really want to delve in to... I miss her but she makes me so damn mad!

So, how do I get unbored? I don't really have a whole lot of free time on my hands pretty much ever, so...

What stroke do you do? What team you swim for? (high school or club)

Bah! Forget her. Go out get drunk, nail a girl who looks like an 8 at the time, wake up discover she's a 2, then run.

When I get bored, I pretend there's a problem with the Q and start cleaning sensors and changing fluids.

I swim for my high school.

Getting drunk/getting laid/both not really all that appealing at the moment. If I just had a relationship that worked and if I wasn't such a restless mother****er then it'd all be cool. Alas, I'm cursed.

I wish I could try new things in general, but there's not a whole lot that's A. legal and/or B. won't get me in trouble with someone to do that I haven't already tried.

As far as new friends, I've found so many in the past year or so and I'm still working on it, but I can hardly ever see them. Moreover, I get along with chicks better than I do guys (which is find, I have a really awesome best friend and several close friends that are male, so I'm set), but the problem lies in the fact that I usually end up becoming friends with chicks I'm attracted to, which, obviously enough, leads to problems because I'm A. really friggin vulnerable to temptation in my current situation and B. tied down. I love my gf to death but I really wish I'd kept the "label" junk out of it for a little longer and gotten some other chicks out of my system. Of course, the issue she and I are having is a bit trivial, very trivial according to some people, but it bugs the **** out of me.

I have this really awful attribute that once I've got something, I usually want to get something else... well, really, it's more that I'm always looking for the fatal flaw in everyone, and when I find it I'm really disappointed.

Disappointed leads to sadness leads to anger leads to horny, but, as I've said, I'm insanely busy, this weekend will be the first weekend I've really had off in probably 2 months, but I have a science fair project to do, and The Beast desperately needs fresh oil (not as if that takes long, I bet I'll work on the project whilst draining the oil).

Anyways, the parental units think that project will suck up so much time that I doubt they'll let me out much this weekend (I was grounded for about the past 2 months, but my grades have come up a little, so I'm finally not now).

In essence, nothing ever fits.

Don't take the preceding quote as a depressed whiny thing, I really don't mean it that way.

Just go party. Have some fun and realize that's it's actually a lot of fun and not having all the responsibilities of most people. Save your whining for your "Golden Years" when there really isn't anything fun for your wrinkled old *** to do.

Parents grounding you?! How old are you?

When I was in HS, I had so much free time I didn't know what to do with it. I miss those days.

Quit whining and feeling sorry for yourself and you might find yourself enjoying life more. If you have no free time, how can you be bored? It seems as soon as fall came around, everyone started bitching about their lives. No one is happy all the time, so stop expecting it.

Join a club team. It will help you improve your times immensly, I dropped 4 seconds just in my senior year from being on both a club team and high school at teh same time. Though it doesn't leave you with much free time if any, especially if you are working like I was, but you turn out faster and lookin like a sexy mother****er

You're in HS and you and your girl broke up? Dude seriously, you should live the moment. Don't be sad, be freaking happy. Now you get a chance to find other girls out there and believe me when I say this, EVERYONE here will say there are a lot of nicer, cuter, hotter girls out there. You say when you think about her, she gets you mad? Good, then your going through the phases of breakup. It's all good. Just sleep it off, play vid games, whack it to p0rn, read up on cars, drive to different places, and since your in HS, study your *** off to get into a good school. Life ain't worth wasting getting bummed out over a girl.

You arent old enough to have that much stress. And I just wont get into the ladies.

But my friend, I have the answer to your bordom. Are you ready???

Paintball. That's right, play Americas fastest growing extreme sport. Take up woodsball like myself, and get into Scenario games. Great fun. Meet alot of new people.

Or you could go the other route, and jump into speedball. You know they have even got Speedball teams at high schools now. (none around here, but I hear they exist.) Get a couple of friends and go play. Start a team, or get on a team.

Anyway, think about it. Go to the book store and buy a few magazines. Go to a local field and watch. It's big fun. It hurts and will deffinetly leave a mark for awhile, but still real fun.

Also about your comment about not having free time: Make time to enjoy life.

It's your time, your in control of it. Do something with it.

Yeah, uh... all of that was completely taken out of context. We didn't break up (though I'm about 50/50 on wanting to drop her/not). So yeah, none of that made any sense.

Next, I'm not bitching cause school started, it started back in early August, this all has nothing to do with that.

Third, I didn't really intend to come off bitching, more bummed out than anything. We all have times where not much, if anything, is going right, but after roughly a year of struggling to stay sane and halfway enthused, I'm getting pretty sick of it. That's all I intended really with this post.

It's kind of pathetic how much I'm looking forward to changing my oil this weekend.

Anyways, I apologize for the way this thread came off, I was on the bottom end of the somewhat manic moods I have. That, combined with some recent bad news from the gf, the sudden realization that I may be doing the exact same thing I did last time cause I have a strange uncontrollable attraction to manipulative women that I don't notice til sometime well after things get involved, and various bits of exhaustion and frustration from other sources and I kinda got off on a tangent.

Oh, and as far as joining a club swim team. I would, but the school team is 5 mornings a week and with AP/Honours classes and debate, I really don't have the time to commit. Not to mention that they get up even earlier than we do, and that would ruin the crazy drive across town at 6am that I get to do, seeing as there is a curfew for 16-17yr old drivers here... I can't wait til next July... jebus...

I do believe this post was quite ADD, weee!

You shouldn't be bored if you've got so many activities going on.

This seems less like a thread about boredom, but more like a thread about venting frustrations/girl problems. Vent away.. we're here for ya.

That's the thing though, I've got so much going on, but none of it's really any fun as of late.

As far as the chick stuff, it's just a matter that I really want to get away, but at the same time I really don't.

Um, here's some advice - drop the things that you aren't enjoying and pick up some new stuff instead of whining about how you have no time.

Listen to Vicki. If you are not liking something, ditch it. For goodnees sake you are young. DO NOT WASTE YOUR YOUTH!!!

I wasted a good nit of mine, not having fun. Fun is what being young is all about. People that grow up too fast regret losing that time they cant get back.

Have fun. Stop the crap that is bringing you down and do something, anything.

Well I'm sure that we've all been there before, I was there for a number of years. I hated everything, nothing made me excited - I was extremely depressed and turned to drugs to excite / medicate / pasicfy myself. Don't do that.What you should do is pick something that is wrong with the world and work to fix it. Pick something that really pisses you off. Do you hate GW Bush with a firey passion and want to move to canada if he is re elected? get involved with the kerry campaign (not much time on that one though). Like camping? go to sierra club meetings. Go to PETA meetings, or whatever, go to pro-bomb pro-oil pro-pollution meetings if that is what you like. If you get involved in a volunteer organization you will have somethign to work for and a good feeling because you are shaping the world.

It dosn't need to take a lot of time either...

It's not that I'm particularly unhappy with anything, and not even really not enjoying it (for instance, we finally got a good debate topic), it's just not all that exciting.

College is a year and the rest of this year away... I'm a really insanely old junior, which I'm sure will prompt even more people to say "drop it/her."

Essentially I'm constantly torn in a close to 50/50 manner about almost everything I do. Part of it comes from my incessant search for the fatal flaws of everything, part of it comes from my indecisive nature when it comes to emotional matters and change in my routines.

Of course, this seems most applied to the girl situation. In that particular case, I know that if I dropped her I'd just want her back pretty soon. She's amazing whenever she's not being all beg-ish and in constant need of communication (which I can't provide)... I guess it's just the down part of the waves.
