Are you bored? Donât be. What to know why? Well, youâre in the wrong place because I donât know why. Okay, letâs start over⌠Happy New Year! Okay, no, thatâs so 2012. Happy Valentines Day, to you and your lover! Okay now thatâs just weird. Hmm⌠are you bored?
I currently live in this little place called the middle of nowhere. To getanywhere fun is literally over an hour away. So most of the time, to entertain ourselves, my sisters and I make up our own games, and these wonderfully magical games are what are going to cure your boredom the next time you find yourself about to die with lack of anything fun to do. But so that I donât blow your mind with awesomeness we are going to take this in steps and because I announced games first, letâs start there.
Make Up Your Own Game
Your game does not have to come from thin air; it can derive from a game that maybe youâve played or heard about before. I came up with a game one night while I was bored called Shout. Now, I donât know if this game is original or not or if itâs even really called Shout (I just made up the name, on the spot⌠just now) and to be frank I donât really care. The rules of the game or simple. Itâs a two player game and all you have to do is think of a random word, it can be anything varying from hair to elephantâthe possibilities are endless. Once youâve thought of a word, shout it out to the person you are playing it with then, letâs call him/her Player 2, is going to say the first thing that comes to mind when you say that word. For example if I was playing with my sister and I yelled out Psych she might say You or You out in the end (which is not one word, but you get the gist) because our favorite show in the world right now is Psych, because it is amazing.
Option 2: play Would You Rather. My sister and I play this game all of the time. You can think of your own or you can look up a site that has a list of them. But I warn you, not all sites are safe and some of the âWould You Ratherâ options are inappropriate so choose a good one unless you like inappropriate things.
Option 3: play a variation of Marry, Boff, Kill which I first heard of watching 30 Rock, but to me this game is one in its own so we will save it for another day on another post.
Listen to Music
Letâs face it, music makes everybody happy. Thereâs not one person on this Earth that doesnât like music, whether its polka or elevator music somebody has a type of music that they like. If you say you donât like music, not any type of music, just to prove me wrong, well then we canât be friends. Anyways, if youâre bored try grabbing your laptop or cell phone or ipad/pod and listen to music. Put together a new play list and turn it up on blast! You can learn the lyrics to that song youâve butchering or look up a song that you havenât heard in a long time. Maybe that song that goes like this: boom, pow, chika chicka bang bang, pop, move your body ooohhhhhhh. Google it. You can also try out new music. Maybe music in a different language such as Korean or French or in a different genre that you probably never wouldâve thought youâd like but then you find an artist that is flipping amazing.
Read a Magazine
I know this may sound weird and totally boring, but not the way I do it, the way I do it turns a drab beauty magazine to the cure of world-weariness. Okay, so, grab a magazine it can be any type of magazine, but I would suggest one with a celebrity on it and/or one of those teeny-bopper ones that have all of the popular boy bands on the cover. You know those ones that you thought they stop making in the 90s but didnât (the ones that had ân sync and Eminem when he still called himself Slim Shady on the cover). I donât know if youâve ever played this before, but in these magazines they have quizzes or picture mazes or something. Now, Iâm not sure if they are really called that so allow me to explain. In magazines they have these question mazes (yeah, letâs call it that) and they ask you a question, then depending on your answer you go to another question bubble. For example this one to see whether or not you have long legs:
Take these, theyâre fun and really easy and usually donât cost more than two dollars. Another activity you can try with magazines is giving an interview. If you flip to the section with the celebrity thatâs on the cover where they ask them all of these random questions you can ask the person you are interviewing, the interview-ee, or in this case the celebrity, the questions that they ask the famous person in the magazine. For example:
If in the magazine you chose they refer to guy the person is dating switch it out so that it is they guy/girl you friend has a crush on or is dating.
