As the title sais, I need help. I get bored rather easyily and I constantly need to do something fun. How can I stop myself from going totally insane from boredom? post up some stuff that I can do right now and if I like the sound of I'll do it.

Read a book. This may require purchasing and/or borrowing a book first.

Get into making something creative.

Try -

Write a story/screenplay.
Me a game.
Make something cool on Photoshop/Paint.Net
Record a video, say like a funny movie trailer for a movie that doesn't exist.
See what things you can do with your computer customisation. Get new wallpapers, look up themes, get Firefox themes, etc.

Also, with ENKC's suggestion, if you're bored, try and get a thriller or something gripping.
Try: Matthew Reilly (Action Thriller), Michael Crichton (Scientific/Medical Thriller), John Grisham (Legal Thriller), or Stephen King (Horror).

Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum and Frederick Forsyth are also good.

If you're up for a good laugh, Tom Holt and Jasper Fforde are great, too.

You're in a **** of a mood today Tom. Cheer up buttercup.

I was hoping for fun ideas, not just things to pass the time.

Make a thread like this and see how long VOOK takes to lock it.

Reminds me of the bellybutton saga.

Youtube Video ->Original Video

And I love the fact someone says there are bored on the internet, go browse forums, Wikipedia, go to flash game sites like Kongregate, or play some Minotaur in a China shop. There is no reason to be bored ont he net, and if you are GO PLAY SOME BLOODLY VIDEO GAMES OR SOMETHING.
