Boredom

When did the internet get boring? Not individual websites but the web as a whole. What I really mean is the fact that I just spend ages switching between about 5-6 different websites and rarely visit anything else. These are: my email, Facebook, BBC, Google Wave and the Escapist. So after I've run out of things to read on those sites I get bored. I don't think 'Oh, I'll go and look at something else' because I can never think of anything else - I think '*sigh* I'm bored'.

Boredom is a weird thing. The way to stop it is by doing something but it makes you (or me at least) less likely to do so. It one of those self-perpetuating cycles or maybe spirals. And at the bottom of that spiral is depression. Yet when I can hear people talking in the next room, I don't go in there. It's like I'm paralysed by boredom but if I do go in I cease to be bored. So I put it to you that the cure for boredom is people.

Sorry it was mildly depressing this time but it's that time of year isn't it? I need summer.
