    I live in San Diego, California and I know a small handful of people (the ones I actually see/talk to, face to face etc.) that I enjoy being around; people who have the same interests/tastes in literature, art, music, movies, philosophy etc.; or, in some cases, different interests/tastes, but they're ok to be around, and they're civil. I am grateful for this small handful, no doubt. Though, I still feel pretty damn bored in San Diego, the Chairman of the Bored, as Iggy Pop put it. I know I am overgeneralizing, to some extent, but to me it seems all the, majority, of people in this town care about is (to me, at least) boring, banal, trivial crap: football, beer, the shopping mall, American Idol, going to the beach, action movies where things explode every 10 minutes...BLAH BLAH BLAH, WHO CARES!? Well, there's my two cents.

    I find most people that I know boring. One thing that bothers me is they tell me about all of this stuff they do when I'm not around. When I hang around them they don't want to do anything except go to some bar or club. How about bowling, pool, fishing, hiking, camping, exploring or just about anything else. I can't even get them to go to the movies half the time. Sometimes they will even sell out. I'm down to do just about anything, but all people want to do is drink and/or smoke weed. Then when I'm not around they have all of these adventures. Fuck them all!

    Yep, that's a big problem for me too: "I dunno, wanna drink....I've got some weed...." Boring as all Hell. Out of that small handful I mentioned previously, only Two, count 'em Two, share my MAIN interests, and, the others, usually, suggest Drinking or Smoking as a way to pass the time. As a result, I just about never call, "the others", they call me. A lot of the time I just blow them off or make an excuse.

    It's not so much that i find most people boring, more that i find them stupid, insipid and ignorant.

    Heh, well, that definitely largely contributes to them being boring. I think I'll add vapid and materialistic, to stupid, insipid, and ignorant. Thanks.

    I think one reason people avoid me in their adventures is because I'm the voice of reasoning. I know that might sound like I'm boring, but people tend to get into trouble when I'm NOT around. I guess that is where the stupid and ignorant comes in. Once they have a long term relationship with someone then they become insipid and vapid. As for being materialistic I sometimes wish they were because then maybe they would have more drive to get somewhere in life and would have money to go out.

    Really I'm open to do just about anything (within reason) as long as it isn't something that can get me put in jail or damage my body.

    I wish some sort of apocalypse would occur. Only the most interesting people ever survive in a dystopic future.
    Oh yeah?

    I find 75% of the people I come in contact with boring and I work at an airport.
    Never underestimate your own abilities.

    Also being an asexual makes things even more awkward with my friends when they start ranting about sex I feel so left out and disgusting BY this filth they SO call a discussion. Plus I have quite a sadistic sense of humour, yet my friends find that to be too offensive and change the subject, also they only invite me out if they need weed, pills, smokes or alcohol not because they enjoy my company.

    I think it's about finding similar interests and going from there. And about those gotta be drunk or high all the time people, obviously something is bothering them to be that way all the time. Maybe you could be the one that helps them with that...I'm not saying you have to join them.But they aren't just doing that at the time I'm sure.They watch movies or tv while they are like this? Or stand in front of a fence like King of the Hill?

    I'm one of these people, when I go out I can't stand listening to talk about bullshit, so I get high and when your high everything seems interesting to you.
