Damn, I must've been really drunk when I wrote my last entry, more drunk than I thought. I'm a spelling/grammar pedant, and that previous entry is full of spelling and grammatical errors.
Anyway, I'm thinking of asking the SG Advice Column for some advice, because I can't seem to figure out how to stop being lonely and so disillusioned with going out for any reason. It's gotten so bad that I've actually realized that I avoid relationships or even hooking up with anybody because I'd probably bore the hell out of them. I just can't think of things to say, regardless of the circumstances I find myself in. Part of the problem is that I put too high a value on the time I have to myself, which I think comes as a consequence of working a full-time job. Either that, or I'm really self-centered and just can't be bothered to make time for other people.
As an abberation to the norm, I went to see Gong Fu with Parikhan yesterday afternoon. It was pretty funny; kind of a combination of the average Jackie Chan movie, The Matrix, and Black Rain.
Anyway... nothing really happening tonight. I'm at work right now, dealing with spam/abuse complaints, and listening to NIN's "The Fragile" for the first time (I'm not a big fan of NIN, hence the 5-year lag between the release of "The Fragile" and my first listen to it), and it's alright, I guess. Typical NIN.
What would you suggest as an activity to relieve the boredom brought on by being jaded?

It's been quiet lately don't ya think?
mmm. an activity to relieve boredom brought on by being jaded... my first question is, alone or with someone else?
alone, i recommend long walks. if you have to drive to a place that's solitary and somewhat beautiful, do it. i like to sometimes walk out over the river next to my town, and sometimes walk along the railroad tracks. specifically a good activity for late afternoon.
with someone else, i must recommend bowling. it's a hysterical thing if you don't do it often. guaranteed to make you giggle.
additionally, keeping a journal, like your own private one, does wonders in my experience. helps you crystallize feelings.
