Bored?
Join the club.
This is a list of this to do when you are bored. The starred the ones I have tried personally. To the best of my knowledge and memory these are either my ideas or my friend's Funkywizard's.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Look in the anarchists cookbook and follow many of the instructions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Make a dry ice bomb (instructions at hyperlinked site). BE CAREFUL
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Take your band off the watch on your arm and flip it ( the watch) like a coin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Play with a bouncy ball or silly puddy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Go up to random ppl and ask them for stuff.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Chat on the internet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Make a friend.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the friend that you made (above) to freek out cars. Find a road with no parked cars on the street but a resonable amount of traffic (so you don't stand there all day). Have your friend stand on the other side of the road. Pretend that you have a rope in your hand and are pulling it really hard between the two of you, be over dramtic too. When a car passes act like you are getting pulled along real fast for a second. The people in the cars get scared thinking there is a rope there that they can't see it is the funniest thing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Call random numbers asking for a Bob, call all numbers until you get one then pretend to be a lost son. Tell him mom really loves him and they want him back. If he asks who is "mom" hold off telling him as long as possible. I guarantee this one undoes bordom.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch the discovery channel, that's never boring.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Make a castnet. Like a kind you go fishing with. Over 20,000 knots and that even once you know what you are doing. Then you can enjoy fishing with the new castnet of yours, catching bait fish and actual food fish.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Ride a bike after a fresh rain. Ride through every puddle you see (even the muddy ones). If you have fenders take them off. Get soaked to the bone. It is tons of fun, and with any luck you'll get sick and can stay out of school.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Get a cheap microwave that still works. The kind with a dial that start whenever it is turned any would be good for this activity. Get a teapot. Fill teapot with water. Weld or otherwise seal teapot closed. This allows no water vapor to escape. Get a long outdoor extension cord. Place teapot into microwave. If it's the dial kind, it should be unplugged. If it is not, well you better be able to run I think. Set microwave to a long time. If dial kind, get away from it then plug it in. For best effect, videotape the event.
This is just an example. There should be plenty of things you can blow up in a microwave.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Take a load off but don't sit too long or you will get hemroids.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Join Riflery the sport of champions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Take pottery or eat mud both are entertaining.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Listen to loveline. It is weird but kewl.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***Start self conditioning. Do situps and pushups. Sweat and then enjoy rubbing your sweaty skin together.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wait for it to snow, then rain, then freeze, then go out and slip and get wet.
