I'm so Bored that I designed greeting cards

Today was pretty much an average day in Boredom, except for the brownies of course.  My birthday was this past week, and so today I had a bunch of friends over for my birthday party!! Ok, by a bunch, I mean two, and by friends, I mean my cats (just joking, my boyfriend and another awesome friend both came to my party).  We ate brownies, which were unusually yummy for Boredom, and a few people that ate them even thought about changing their names to something like Sally or Bill or anything except Bored.  The King of Boredom, however, decreed the brownies illegal, so nobody changed their names and the day continued in a properly boring fashion.  Just a few minutes ago, however, I became so Bored that I made some greeting cards.  That's right! I design things! And now, you're probably thinking that all of my designs are really boring, and they probably are, since I design things merely because I am Bored.  It's not like I have no artistic talent (In reality, I have negative amounts of artistic talent - amazing, I know).  However, if you don't want to buy or even admire any of my designs, maybe you could at least get a laugh or two out of looking at them.  In addition to my greeting cards, you should really check out the design called Funky Tie 2.  Those ties are selling better than kangaroo meat in the UK...I think...

So, go to my Zazzle store (either the link is somewhere on this page, or I've misplaced it in my Boredom).  Buy, insult, comment, laugh.  And if you can find enjoyment in my store, you're probably really Bored. 

I'm so Bored that I caught a disease

So, this morning I woke up kinda sick to my stomach and with a horrible cough.  There is a strong possibility that I have caught bronchitis from the most amazing guy in the world (my boyfriend, of course).  It's also possible that it is merely a cough and a bad day.  Now, you're thinking: "That bug came to you," but that's not true.  You see, I was so Bored that I decided "Hmm, it would be an interesting thing to catch a disease today," and so that's what I did.  It tried to escape, but I caught it, whatever it is, and I intend to keep it.  No, you may not have it - it's mine, I caught it, and if you want a disease, you should go catch your own.  I can't do everything for you: that would be so exceedingly boring.  Since, of course, reading about how I caught a disease is probably pretty boring, here is a poem to entertain you (or bore you even more perhaps, tee hee).  I wrote this a long time ago, so don't expect too much.  It is, to this day, my one and only attempt at free verse.  I bet you can't catch diseases as well as I can; just you TRY!

The Painter's Brush

Colors, dancing, twirling, coming alive

Cascading down, filling the world

With their beauty; vibrant hues

Mixing together, melting into one.

The scent of the painter’s easel

As he moves his brush

Scattering pigments onto the leaves

Filling the air with colored light.

This scent overwhelms me

Takes away my breath,

Makes me want to be

A part of the painting

To jump into the midst of the chaos

To be suffocated by the colors,

By the shades of orange and gold

Dancing around and in me

Moving me to feel,

To long to dance with them,

To have myself transformed,

Painted, remade, by the same brush.

I'm so Bored that I baked a cake

As a special treat, since today is the beginning of this blog (although not the beginning of Boredom - I've lived there for quite a while now), and since I am especially Bored, I am posting a second blog post today.  Really, though, to be honest, this post should have been posted yesterday.  So, yesterday, I was so bored that I baked a cake.  They say that necessity is the mother of invention.  That may be so, but boredom is the mother of really tasty things.  I was hanging out around my house yesterday, watching TV, listening to music, watching the aliens abduct the neighbor's dog...ya know, the usual, when my mom called and asked me to make something for my little brother's school party.  So, I went downstairs and made some brownies.  Of course, I was Bored, and I couldn't eat the brownies, and I had nothing better to do, so I decided to just keep cooking.  So, over the next few hours, I made one fried egg, one bowl of chicken salad, and 6 deviled eggs.  I then made a snickerdoodle cake, because I was just too Bored and was craving sugar.  I got the recipe out of an AWESOME cookbook called the Cake Mix Doctor.  After I had made the cake and iced it, I was still Bored, so I drew a smiley face on it with green icing.  Needless to say, after all this, the kitchen was a mess and we're out of eggs and powdered sugar, but at least I got to make a cake and eat it too :) I will try to post pictures of the cake later, if I can snag a photo opp before it's completely devoured.  We've decided the smiley cake is a saintly cake, because no matter how many times you cut it, it just keeps smiling.  It's forgiven us 7 times already, and it might even forgive us 7 times 77 times, if there's any of it left to forgive us.  This is not a very wild story, I know, but I'm trying to stick to recent events.  What's the most outrageous thing you've ever done because you were Bored? Leave a comment!

I'm so Bored that I started a blog

Hello, everyone!  Welcome to my humble little blog.  As you can see, it's brand new.  Now, don't go expecting anything too fancy.  I'm not blogging because I have something genius to say, or because I'm trying to inspire the masses, or anything like that.  I'm simply Bored.  My brother suggested to me that I try to keep track of all the outrageous things I do when I'm Bored, so I said "Hey, why don't I start a blog?"  So, here I am.  I am going to simply document on this blog all the ridiculous stuff I do for no other real reason except for sheer and utter boredom.  Sometimes, I am a college student, but over the summer, I'm just Bored.  So, I do some pretty crazy stuff all year round when I'm Bored.  For starters, today I'm so Bored that I started a blog.  If you have any ideas for the blog, or of things to do when I'm Bored, or even stories of things YOU'VE done when you were Bored (it seems to be an extremely common name...), please send me a message.  I'd love to hear from you.  Until then, I hope that my boredom eases yours just a little :)
