I surf the internet, and browse sites on the most random of topics.
I also screw around with my guitar trying to think of new music,
and sleep or eat.

Since I hate my job, I spend roughly 9 hours per day in extreme bordem and/or rage.

"Idle hands is time spent at the genitals" -'Ole Drippy
Most of my classes are boring as hell, as a result, my notebook has a ton of scribbles and crappy drawings, plus three pages of ZALGO drawings, with which I scared the girl sitting next to me as I finished drawing it.
Now if I was at work, I'd be even more bored, since I tend to work overnights at a toll booth. I'll typically pack my DVD player, PSP and/or my DSi to pass the time.

When I was a teenager I used to complain of boredom all the time. It was about the age of 14 that I was told "only boring people get bored". Somehow this sat well with me.
If your mental state is not at the mercy of others, boredom can only come as a result of your own lack of creativity.
With ADD I often times find my interest in things reduced very quickly, so I make shit up in my head that adds entertainment.
The only recent time I can think of when I was almost bored was when I was summoned for Jury duty. Unfortunately being creative as a juror is both unfair and illegal to the others in court. So mentally being trapped can occur, but it is very rare. The end result was that the judge kicked me out of the court room when I told her I have ADD and OCD.
Moving on, there is too much in this world to find one's self bored.
I'm a college student with the unfortunate luck of having my tests constantly group up on me. Very soon will be the fourth time this semester I'll have three tests within a day of each other, so yeah. I spend most of my day studying. Not boring, but not exactly fun either.
When I do get bored there's usually something I can goof around with on my computer, or me and my friends will go out somewhere. I tend to listen to music a lot, and the Syd Lexia chat room can be a great anti-boredom agent.

"Ahh, tedium is such a crime. It takes the limited amount of time that is given to man and rather than spending it in indolence or drowning it in pleasure, it just sits there, sucking, eatting it up. I can't put up with that. Tedium is a crime! Death to tedium!! Die die, won't you die now, die die die! Die you! Die ME!
Time spent in boredom is good. I think it's what allows the climaxes in life to reach their ultimate state of perfection. At least that's what I'm going to choose to think that that is the way life has been laid out for us this fine day anyway. Simply put, if we're wrong, we're wrong. These are known as the very essence, the very spice of life. There is nothing tedious in the whole world, at least not during these exciting times." -Graham Spector, Baccano!
Personally I'll look on youtube, thatguywiththeglasses, or tvtropes if I've got a long time til something happens. Eventually it'll dawn on me I've got some prose projects to be working on (like my 2010 Thanatopsis) and I'll put in some time with those.

I typically try to get better at playing bass or try to beat a game on my Wii/DS. If that doesn't work I go out for a drive with my brother to rent a movie or something. It really just depends on what mood I'm in.

I feel bad for the poor saps whose boredom levels are between 25%-30%, 40%-50%, or 75%-100% since they can't participate in this poll. Not only are they bored but now they have to deal with discrimination.
Who likes role-playing games? Me. Way too goddamn much.

I've always got a book or two on me in case boredom strikes.

Today I had three travel mugs of coffee before class and was so wired and thus not interested that I created a superhero, Super Saucy Cheese Man, and his archnemesis Mr. Cider. I'll never replace sleep with coffee again. Back on topic?

I'm always fucking bored. I think it is my occupation. This usually helps with may boredom... This what I'm doing right now.
Well I usually talk to myself when I get really bored. Don't worry I don't answer back....
I'm so bananas I'm showing up to your open casket,
to fill it up with explosive gases,
and close it back,
with a lit match in it,
while I sit back, and just hope it catches.
Blow you to fragments,
laugh,
roll you, and smoke the ashes.
I do this:
1. Play videos
2. RAGE!
3. I'll just fucking do homework I guess.
4. Have fun on homework and I'm in high school, IDK why, just like learning.
