writes:My boyfriend and I have been dating for about seven months now. In the past two years, my life has been a roller coaster of emotions. I previously was dating a really bad person that was nothing short of a sociopath, my parents divorced each other on violent, angry terms, and well. My family kind of just isn't the same anymore. Nobody is as close. My best friend actually turned out to be a pathological liar.Anyhow, only recently have I been getting myself back on track. I'm in school now, as of two weeks ago. My job is nice. Everything's fine. But I find myself feeling boring, constantly, in the past week or so. My current boyfriend was there for the hardest time in my life, so far. He is very kind. But I feel like I've become boring. I don't remember the last time someone called me funny, witty, or anything. And I don't remember the last time I laughed hard. I haven't really been out with friends lately. Maybe that may be why? I don't know. I go to work, then school, then home, then school, then work, then home. Today is my first day off and I feel completely bored. I've never ever felt bored in my life before. I know that sounds stupid, but my life has been very entertaining up until these past two weeks. I'm losing myself and I don't really know how to go back. Feeling boring and feeling bored is something I've never really experienced. I've always had something to do. And well, I don't want to bore my boyfriend to death. I need to fix myself before I lose what is left of me. Has anyone ever felt that way? Like they were just another rock on the road?

I feel ya, I feel ya. Good to hear that you were getting life on track with things like school; and hopefully you're still working. Heck, maybe you've even become the most interesting person ever since your post(Are you the Dos Equis beer guy???) -- but in case not, maybe I can help with your feelings of complete blandness.
1) Get arrested for J-walking or loitering or some other insignificant misdemeanor; I know this sounds dumb, and when you think about it its almost impossible -- But, nothing will bring back joy then getting freshly released from jail; Unless you get released from a felony case and beat the state! but you don't want to go there...(Cheers to me!)
2) Force interesting situations; they are hard to think up but once you think them up they really can be entertaining. I.E: take a day to talk completely in third person, or speak to certain people in the tone/style that you would speak to a puppy **OR** MY PERSONAL FAVORITE - Call a certain item by another items name, AND DON'T LET PEOPLE KNOW YOU KNOW YOU'RE DOING IT!! Nothing is funner than asking "Can you hand me that phone?" to someone when you're pointing at a Banana - Trust me here.
