What Boredom Leads To

I am currently so bored at the moment, I have decided to compile a list of what the various stages of boredom lead to (and believe me, some of the consequences are quite damaging to the self and society).

Stage 1: Ennui
There is still hope for the victim of ennui (note the usage of French to describe the feeling, which means the victim is still in a state to think of such things -- in other words, brain activity is still occurring). Victims of ennui may find themselves with a potential activity to participate in, or they may sink into further boredom, also known as

Stage 2: Couch Potato
The most frustrating aspect of boredom is that it resists all efforts to cure it. In time, ennui develops into the couch potato stage, in which any suggestion of an activity creates a distinctly "meh" feeling within the victim, and the only acceptable activities seem to be:
- Watching TV
- Logging onto Facebook every other minute
- Playing Pokemon
- Any similar activity
In short, the victim's life becomes rather pathetic.

Stage 3: Late Onset Teenage Rebellion
Specific to those who are home for the holidays and who were goody-two-shoes as actual teenagers. Such a victim may find him/herself attempting to participate in the teenage rebellion he/she never actually engaged in as an actual teenager as a last-ditch attempt to be less pathetic in his/her boredom. Stage 3 leads to things such as:
- Plotting to smoke cigarettes as if they are illegal (while making it sound as forbidden as actually illegal substances, despite the fact that they're... not)
- Sneaking around (even though curfew does not exist)
- Being kicked out of establishments (admittedly, it was because it is closing, not for any other reason)
- Talking about SEX (SEXSEXSEX)

Stage 4: Couch Potato in Pajamas
Once the victim realizes that late onset teenage rebellion actually makes one more pathetic rather than less, he/she reverts back to the couch potato stage, with the addition of lying about in pajamas rather than actual clothing due to laziness brought on by discouragement. This is a harmful stage to the victim, as consumption of junk food during this time will lead to weight gain, although sites such as Amazon.com may gain from increased DVD orders from the victim.

Stage 5: Blog Time
The stage most harmful to society in general, as the victim realizes he/she can inflict his/her pain onto the world through a blog.

And there you have it. Why I started a blog.
