Reply #14: boredom is a failure of the imagination

[sui generis]

what a perfect opportunity for you! Think of that Great American Novel plot that's been kicking around in your head for years. Start an organization to take care of old folks in your area, getting local sports teams to contribute their time and marketing ability.

Take up painting, sculpture, cooking, gardening, both flowers and veggies, whatever excites you!

Yeah, so your social life isn't where you think it should be. Fix that. Life isn't going to hand you any friend without a little work. And if you need to see a bigger city, get a piggy bank and keep filling it with schmoo money for the trips you need.

AND, when you're filthy rich from having your fantabulous novel published all over the planet, your recipes and gardening tips syndicated on cable, and an invitation from the Red Cross to head up a regional chapter in light of all the Florence Nightingale work you've done with elders and the needy, you can perhaps have a bit more influence on where you live too!
