I have been very internet-bored lately.

The problem, though, is that I have no idea what would make me not bored. I don’t want to watch video, I don’t want to read the same old blogs, I don’t want to read the usual forums. I talk to the same people, read the same sites, contribute the same ideas. The whole thing just feels oh-so-very stale.

Those of you who’ve know me for any amount of time have heard me bemoan many, many, many times about the horridness that is my home dial-up connection. Well, it’s all about to change, because DSL has finally come to our neighborhood.

I’ve been waiting for high-speed at home since high-speed was invented. And now that it’s here, I’ve got nothing to do, except idle silently in IRC all night just because I can.

I’m just not motivated to go out and find new content, new people. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been spending so much time at home. Because I’ve been online constantly for the last few weeks–just ask Josh. I haven’t gone a single day online without harrassing him to entertain me.

So maybe I need a break. Or to write more. Or to just come up with an entirely new interest to learn about, so I have a reason to start searching google for stuff.

Because this internet-boredness needs to stop. Like last week.
