I don't even know where to begin talking about it. Seems like most everything I do is centered around evading boredom. At times I am reduced to almost autistic self-stimulating activities and compulsions. I frequently retreat into the world of thought or imagination or even simply space out because I'm so excruciatingly bored with whatever I'm doing. This is all gotten out of hand. Now I can't seem to hold down a regular job or force myself to do things I anticipate will be painfully dull or even merely repetitive. I can hardly stand to sit through a movie or cue into what someone is saying if it's not completely engaging. Add to that, boredom breeds apathy... which I tend to counter in a similar way by stimulating melodramatic emotion and passion... all aimed at motivating action. Procrastination is a big problem for me too.

Well, I guess I need to bite the bullet and clean house/do laundry.
