So here I am...sitting at home...bored out of my mind. I work all day, I stare at a computer screen all day, when I get home I'm getting less and less enthralled at doing the same thing. I'm sort of stuck here at home for at least another few months or maybe a year depending on how the glorious financial situation goes. I feel like I should be getting more out of life...but I can't figure out what. What do you guys do when your bored? Watch TV? Play video games (I do that alot)? Work out? (I do that when I'm not being lazy) What?
I used to have school to fall back on...to be honest...I'm having trouble with the transition.
-
FRED, write, play around in GIMP/Goldwave/Audacity, watch The Rock/Independence Day/The Patriot endlessly, listen to country/Bon Jovi/whatever-the-hell-I-can-find endlessly.
-
Work out. Hang out with friends. Photography. Sleep. Watch TV. Sit around like a lump and enjoy the free time because it's so rare.
-
Get some sort of hobby, you could always try chess. ;7 :pimp:
-
I bike and program in my spare time. Biking is great because it's reasonably fast and less detached than driving. When you drive you're just paying attention to traffic and focusing on getting somewhere. It's also a lot more rewarding when you get to the cafe for a drink after a good half hour of biking rather than a 10 minute drive.
-
Ride your bike to a store and pick up some Doritos and Mountain Dew, then go home and just eat and drink. Repate until broke.
EDIT: Well what Kamakazie said. Except with Doritos. And Mountain Dew.
-
When I am bored (the 'normal' kind) I read, draw, play the piano, compose music, tidy my apartment, sleep, eat, watch lots of TV. But when I'm bored in the weird kind, I take long walk (10 -15 miles) or call up the same person I know 30 times within the hour :bump:
Did you just graduate from college or something? It's always hard living in the transition from one life style to another. Kamikaze's suggestion is pretty good.
-
I've got so much stuff that I need to do, and when I'm not doing that there's so much stuff that I want to do, that I don't think I've been bored ever for the past year, or at least since my computer died over the summer.
-
porn. :D
just kidding.
place some freespace, or try to reach a higher plan of enlightenment. either one is pretty good.

I graduated last year around this time...however...over the summer I worked my part time campus job until September at which point I got in with a department on campus so I'm still there a full year later. I'm still at home. Frankly I can't get motivated to do any of the "jobs" that I was always supposed to be doing...
Sort of trapped under my own weight (not that I weight that much) :)

You could always try getting a girlfriend. That will use up whatever free time you have, garenteed.
-
What do I do when I get bored? Well, that's easy, I mast- er... I mean, read a book. Yeah, a good "book" tides me over for about an hour or so... :nervous:

that's soooooo true.

Why don't you do the world a favor and develop teleportation technology for us? Or maybe a cure for cancer? Hell, just go ahead and end world hunger, discover subspace, cure all diseases, bring about world peace, and fix me some French Toast while your at it.
Thanks. :)
-
I never get bored as long as I'm at home. I actually have a good amount of free time during most of the year, but it's not nearly enough to do all the things I want to do. :p
-
Draw. Read. Music. Friends. Driving.
-
Write, normally. It's when I get it mostly done; there are people on nr.org that pray I end up bored. I'm not sure whether I should strangle them.
-
Get hooked on an addiction, like WoW, Oblivion, or EVE.
Seriously, if you got the money, do a little traveling. Thats what I did after I got done with school, I just kinda took a year off and ****ed around and traveled. Maybe join a local recreational sports team? I was on a local hockey team this last season with some guys from work, and had an absolute blast.
-
I model, or go for a drive. Free time isn't a problem for me at the moment, though.
-
Thought I saw you on that Men's perfume ad few days back aldo...
Dude, drink, pub, drink, pub. Meet some new folk. Nothing like a bit of alcho to lube the vocal chords. :)
That is if drinkin' suits you. :p
Else just obssess over a hobby or something. Don't ever get too bored, or into a routine of being bored. The day you look forward to getting home to be bored... ah!
Bad for mental health anyway. Avoid it or end up like me! You've been warned!
-

Yes. Men want to be me, and women want to be with me - All thanks to Hypnotism by Kevin Clean.

No it isn't.

You could be like me and be a "professional student" taking 6 years to complete a 4-year degree partly because I'm mathematically challenged and partly due to the college and it's neverending changes to the catalog and graduation requirements.

What I do when bored:
* Read every forum and webcomic on my Daily list,
* Read whatever funny websites the IRC conversations of the past week have thrown up,
* Natter inanely on #crfh,
* Read the entire archives of a webcomic, then add it to Daily list,
* Play whatever computer game I can be bothered playing for the nth time (where n is an integer typically greater than twenty),
* If I've had dinner, go out to the pub and have at least four pints before going to a nightclub. Cycle home at 3am and hope there's a burger shop open,
* Begin planning a complex project (eg. new filesharing system, an OS that makes full use of the x86 CPU's features) then give up and go play another computer game.
Actually, that's what I do for the average weekend...
-
Repate until broke.
Or until sent to rehab. :p Seriously, that sounds like something my best friend would do every day while in college.

Well, maybe you should work some where else. Looking for a job could be fun too. I guess almost all of you are taller I think but I think there's probably no one on this board could beat me, well unless your weight less than 105 pounds.
@ Kosh & Turey: What kinda busy/ naughty girlfriends do you guys have?
@ aldo: May be some men would want to be with you too?

@ aldo: May be some men would want to be with you too?
Many (meny?...*) may, but they shall be disappointed.

Haha...all good suggestions.
- Beer - I already drink the stuff...infact its an expensive proposition because I can't drink the cheap **** that they pass off for beer so its usually imported. I really like Killkeny, Guiness, and Smithwicks.
- Girl Friend - Being trying to find that sort of gig for years...its not an easy proposition for "nice guy" (tm) to just up and find a girlfriend. I've been or tried to be with enougn nut jobs to make me very leery of just the average girl. She has to be special these days to even get my attention. I think I'm jaded.
- Local sports team - That does sound appealing...I want to play soccer again...but no idea where I would find a team these days.
- Friends - Half have moved away...the other half are busy...its tough to get anyone together these days. Its like pulling teeth.
- Addictive Games - I already do that...its called the IL-2 series...its crack for aviation nutjobs like myself
- Web Comics - Dilbert, Penny Arcade,....oh and not a web comic but a time waster nonetheless...Wired and SlashDot RSS feeds
Still bored....not feeling very fulfilled. Can't figure it out.
-
I think I'm jaded.
Try desperate. It's not any more fun, but you get slightly more sympathy.

Yeah that may be true. I suffer from people having some really funny conceptions about me:
- confident
- extremely smart
- plenty of girls lined up
- good looking
- funny
The truth is that I'm:
- somewhat sometimes confident
- on occasion I say smart things
- no girls lined up
- not too ugly :)
- occasionally I say funny things
I've got my flaws and I think I know what most of them are. I hope I'm not too self deluded in what I and others think of myself but I'm constantly shocked when people get to know me better and make all these comments. I'd figure they'd be more shocked but nobody believes me when I say what is true :)
So you know...all those help guides on how to get down into dating...I figure I already do a good portion of them. I by no means have the whole delivery down but I'm not making moronic mistakes either. I'm not a totally asocial boob that stumbles from one scenario to the next. I was suggested to on this very forum that maybe I need to work on some other things in life before I can try and deal with this. Car, house, long term employment (i'm working contracts right now). The occasional relationship wouldn't be a bad thing...but none in sight or in the last few years really. Its quite depressing....and who wouldn't be.
So I imagine these relationship things that everyone talk about probably takes up plenty of time. I have that time free. But I'm valuing that time less and less. When I'm not at work I try and do something that provides some level of entertainment...but to be honest I'm just distracting myself. My latest web surfing hobby is comparing cars that I'd be interested in purchasing if I actually do end up with a job that isn't so close to home. I really like that Mazda3.

i listen to black metal and contemplate the future pagan dominance of the world and my place in such. dispite being non religions in any way, its intresting the study them. contemplate the conhnections between roman imperialism and christianity. the falacy that civilization equates to progress echoes through my contemplations. fantisize over crazy chicks i meet online (the current one seems very promising). when im about town i study a number of chicks that dispite being cute, wouldnt provide much intelectual stimulations (and those that are capable stone themselves into mental monotony). contemplate death (of both myself and the human race as a whole). if im luckey i sometimes find myself in a creative mood but unless im that way on a day off its usually a wasted mood. work work and sleep eats up most my time even though i work less than 30 hours a week (while sleeping about 70 or 80). any time ive levt over comes to babysitting my schizo mother whilst my own sanity goes out the window. lately my house and my work have been undergoing some construction. i sometimes laugh at the stupidity of the contractors. hell i did some construction once and i never acted stupid thusly. albeit i watch them for entertainment. al in all this town is quite lax in brains. thusly ive decided that people arent worth my time. after all that ive not much time to be bored.
That's easy, we feast on the flesh of the fallen christians!
i suddenly decided i like you :D
A pet? Like a dog or something? That'll help keep you occupied.
i have 2 cats and enjoy their company far more than any human.
-
Cats and dogs tend to be unconditionally loving creatures. Humans are far more complex beasts :)

I work on my poetry if I can kick myself in the pants hard enough.

Ummm, I realise this might seem like a bit of a cop-out, but you need people. With very few exceptions, I suggest that no amount of hobbies will provide you any enjoyment unless you have someone to share them with. There's always us, of course. ;)
As for me, I spend my free time playing guitar. It's addictive. I even spend my non-free time playing guitar - when I'm meant to be researching or writing essays, it's far easier just to reach over to the guitar and hammer out a few tunes... :nervous:

Depends on the particular hobby. I follow up some interests that I don't really share with anyone and it works out fine.

Hmh, regarding having friends to share your hobbies or just to be with, I have to agree. My life has been pretty dull mostly because I have only formed friendships out of necessity and not really maintained the relationships after it was no longer a necessity. I'm not one of these outgoing types.
Anyways, I am usually bored 6 hours during weekdays and 14 hours during weekend days, but I still don't know what I'm doing when I'm bored. I guess boredom has become my second nature and I don't really even acknowledge it these days. Man, I suck.
-
If I'm bored, I try to force it into something productive, like tidying up, practicing piano or guitar, wash car, etc. Then usually by the time I'm done doing something productive, I'll have found something to do, like head off to a movie with friends or family. It's nice to get stuff done, so I'm kinda thankful I get bored every now and then, otherwise I'd be a lot less productive. Ha, I'm lazy. :o
-
But when I'm bored in the weird kind, I take long walk (10 -15 miles) or call up the same person I know 30 times within the hour :bump:
He just loves it when you do that you know :rolleyes: :p

If you're flexible enough to kick yourself in the pants surely you could find more interesing ways to pass your time? :lol:
-
I heard yoga yoga helps that immensely. :p
I used to go out and buy WW2 level 3 models and work for at least 6 hours trying to fit tiny pieces into each other while smelling model paint (therefore screwing up my hand/eye coordination :p) and lose it when a piece breaks. Oh, and I also do:
- Play Splinter Cell
- Play FS1/2
- Make new profiles for my X52
- MOD games that I know how to
- Laugh at Derek Smart
- Read VGCats webcomics
- Roofle while reading bash.org IRC quotes
- Install forgotten games, play them once, then remember why I stopped playing them, then quit playing them
...etc
-

You're funny IceFire. People see something good in you but you seem to see very differently about yourself ;) Maybe we should take turns visit you so you'll get some surprises everyday ;7
@ Kosh: There are all kinds of funny jobs in the market with very entertaining job despcription sometimes :D
-
Oh boy this thread got funny :)
I like Raa's idea...not bad a'tall!
-
build a flamethrower :D
-
Actually, I just realized -- I'm pretty bored today and... very slow too...
-
You could always write my philosophy paper on Kant's view of history and human development. Nothing makes better memories.
-
play Freespace SCP.

I've had my share of Immanuel Kant in first year History. We shall never speak of that again :)

:lol: !
We've made napalm before, that was fun.
Our next project will probably be a flame thrower. Little more dangerous though, so needs more preperation, safety stuff and testing...
-
flamethrowers arent that hard really, you need a pump, tank, airtight valve, and nozzile, all conected in that order in a closed, linier system. the plumbing is about the same as a super soaker, but using metal. you could probibly use an old skool steel pesticide sprayer, but i dont think youd get the proper range.
-
I recall seeing a video of a flamethrower made just out of a supersoaker. It seemed to work fine, so much so that the guy filming started yelling "stop it dude! you'll burn the whole ****ing house down!" while his mate kept on spraying flaming death everywhere around his garage.
-
well as far as that goes you can just brake the plastic nozzle off a supersoaker and attach the cheap plastic hose to a proper metal nozzel, to avoid melting of course :D.still id perfer a proper metal tank and pump so that you could get the proper pressure and thus better range.
-
aren't home-made flame throwers a little "red neck" ?

On topic, I tend to listen to music while on tha' x-box. Don't really like the games (Forza winds me up no-end) but I need something to do with the choones on. I'm lovin' Snow Patrol's work at the moment and old skool Led Zepplin & Ramones.

Shut Your Eyes is The Daddy. I've had that on driving home every day since it was released.
-
Snow patrol do make some killer melodies it has to be said. But sometimes their lyrics sound really unnatural and jarring to my ear. I just ran it by some friends though and they didnt hear it (without showing them a specific example) so maybe it's just me.
But yeah, I hear you aboutgetting a bit bored with life. I've started a new job which is basically keeping me busy12 hours aday, not a good thing, but it certainly cuts downon the boredom. When I do have time to myself I call round to friends and drink, or meet friends out and drink or drink and wait for friends to show up randomly.
I do play games and browse the net (here) but if I do the latter for too long the sites start to turn to a more adult nature and I realise its time to stand up and walk away. Other than that, I read, play guitar, weork on making old computers usable, do nixers eetc...
I've just been doing the friends and beer thing so I'm very tired. Morepersonaly but pointless advcece for a stranger tomorrow. Or the next.Depends.
-
Gary Lightbody sings in an 'odd' way, I think; kind of atonal or stilted rather than the traditional melodic (it's actually really hard to sing along to; especially if you're an already tuneless bastard like me - lucky i'm usually in a nice muffling car).
But there are more than a few songs on Eyes Open that just *click* beautifully; I think the best album of 2006 so far.
-
Sex
although most of the time nobody else is there ....
but mostly, modding (glares at WeatherOP (he knows why)), playing games (just figured out how to make an n64 emulator actually work)
-
:wtf: How DO you get an n64 emulator to work!!!???
-
:wtf: How DO you get an n64 emulator to work!!!???
Install it and run it.......
-
What I do when Im bored depends on if Im alone or not. If Im not alone I usually sit by the computer and just click around, doing nothing really intelligent. But if I'm alone, funny things happen. :D Sometimes very loud :nervous:
-
I sit on IRC going "<an0n> Dear sweet robot zombie Jesus, I'm bored....."

You could always try getting a girlfriend. That will use up whatever free time you have, garenteed.
And also your free cash too! Getting a wife, now thats expensive, luckily I've learned how to switch off my ability to hear her when playing on my PS2, PC or even classic games on my PS1 - that's what I do when I'm bored while simultaneously watching telly. If i'm not at home when I'm bored, I get out my mobile and play games on that. I just love my computer games!! and I'm getting on at 33yrs!! LOL!!

That's not entirely true. Having a girlfriend doesn't mean you're doing to end up spending a lot of money. It all depends the type of girl you're dating.

:drevil: Like I said you ought to try a wife! If it's not a new carpet, it's a new fridge freezer, or washing machine or decorating the spare bedroom (It's a SPARE bedroom for godsake! no-one goes in there but us, but nooo1 we have to have it redecorated) If it wasn't for her I'd have the best, most up to date pc with the fastest broadband available. And don't suggest putting my foot down with a firm hand, you haven't met my wife!! LOL!

Being independent, is what I am talking about. I do not deny that receiving gifts on special occasions or outta the blue is nice (the same thing applies to guys when they get presents from their girlfriends), but I often prefer to get the things outta my own pocket. The man and woman relationship is a 'two-way traffic'. Why depent on boyfriends or husbands to buy things for you when you can afford to do so yourself? :)

i have to agree there, the best girlfriend i had didnt cost very much.
shes gone but i learned the rule of thumb, if you lay down more than a hundred bucks on a girl, she hasnt spent any on you, and you havent gotten any, its time to cut your losses because she is a money whore and a succubus. if the girl actually wanted you around, she would have tried harder to keep you.

*Nobody expects the Grammar Inquisition!* :drevil:
Consult the Book of Grammatics!
And Saint Goober raised the Grammar book up on high, saying;
Oh Lord, bless this thy Grammar Book that, with it, Thou mayest ridicule Thine misspellers to tiny bits... in Thy mercy.
And the LORD did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... well, perhaps I'll skip a bit here...
And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take the word "You", being the second singular personal pronoun. Then, shalt thou take the verb "To Be". No more, no less. Then shalt thou seek the second singular finite form of the verb "To Be", which is, as was revealed to us of old, "Are". "Is" shalt thou not consider, neither consider thou "Am" , excepting that thou then proceed to "Are" while going through thy list, shold thou needeth one. "Was" and "Were" are right out. Once the form "Are", being the second finite form, be reached, then combinest thou thy words "You" and "Are" to gether, thus creating a new word. This new word shalt thou dub "You're". Not "Your" or "Youre", but "You're" with an apostrophe in between.
Once this righteous form, being the final form, be reached, sayeth or writeth thou thy Word "You're" towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it for the bare fear of having a debate with someone who actually can write their own language. Amen."
Remembereth thou these words of the Lord of Languages and their messengers, the members of the Holy Grammar Inquisition, and thy shalt live in abundance, and after thine death, people will still remember thou as People who Wrote Correctly.
You know, I've always wondered why "you are" very often twists into form "your" in Internet. I mean, I don't speak English as my native language but even my grammar ear can hear it being just plain wrong, being tied to genetive and all that stuff. Now this is not to bash aldo's spelling skills - I'm quite sure you can spell correctly any time you really want, your messages usually are of most comprehensive sort that can be found on Internet - most of the stuff is much worse.
But what makes you silly English speaking types to write "You Are" as "your", like in "your car" would mean " You Are Car". It's just incomprehensible to me. :confused:
Oh, and to get this message at least a bit on topic, I say that when I'm bored I roam at different forums and whine about spelling. :D
-
I'm still at home.
Home, as in, home home? With your parents home? If the money's there (or hell, even if it isn't) get some other still at home mates and move out together. You'll still be bored, but way less often.

I have no quarrel with mine self, good Sir Aldo, but it is my sacred quest to fight illiteracy in its every form. :p

Thine Thou doth challengeth thyself to a joust with thy aromatic grammaracy!

*Nobody expects the Grammar Inquisition!* :drevil:
Consult the Book of Grammatics!
And Saint Goober raised the Grammar book up on high, saying;
Oh Lord, bless this thy Grammar Book that, with it, Thou mayest ridicule Thine misspellers to tiny bits... in Thy mercy.
And the LORD did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... well, perhaps I'll skip a bit here...
And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take the word "You", being the second singular personal pronoun. Then, shalt thou take the verb "To Be". No more, no less. Then shalt thou seek the second singular finite form of the verb "To Be", which is, as was revealed to us of old, "Are". "Is" shalt thou not consider, neither consider thou "Am" , excepting that thou then proceed to "Are" while going through thy list, shold thou needeth one. "Was" and "Were" are right out. Once the form "Are", being the second finite form, be reached, then combinest thou thy words "You" and "Are" to gether, thus creating a new word. This new word shalt thou dub "You're". Not "Your" or "Youre", but "You're" with an apostrophe in between.
Once this righteous form, being the final form, be reached, sayeth or writeth thou thy Word "You're" towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it for the bare fear of having a debate with someone who actually can write their own language. Amen."
Remembereth thou these words of the Lord of Languages and their messengers, the members of the Holy Grammar Inquisition, and thy shalt live in abundance, and after thine death, people will still remember thou as People who Wrote Correctly.
You know, I've always wondered why "you are" very often twists into form "your" in Internet. I mean, I don't speak English as my native language but even my grammar ear can hear it being just plain wrong, being tied to genetive and all that stuff. Now this is not to bash aldo's spelling skills - I'm quite sure you can spell correctly any time you really want, your messages usually are of most comprehensive sort that can be found on Internet - most of the stuff is much worse.
But what makes you silly English speaking types to write "You Are" as "your", like in "your car" would mean " You Are Car". It's just incomprehensible to me. :confused:
Oh, and to get this message at least a bit on topic, I say that when I'm bored I roam at different forums and whine about spelling. :D
...
I totally didnt expect that
-
I personally prefer "ur" to "your" in this context. I mean, if you're going to mess up the word anyway, why not go the whole way? :D
-
grammar inquisition rules.
as for what i do when i'm very bored... well, i play with lego :p
or i do some random 3D work that i properly delete afterwards
or i just wander around the house all day doing exactly nothing...

I sometimes make random noises when noone's around. Just because I can. :nervous:
Today, I started singing the Soviet National Anthem for no apparent reason. It actually sounded like it should which was quite funny IMO. :wtf:

Yeah, I believe you can get some pills for that.

If I'm bored, and in the mood to spend money, I'll drive aimlessly around the streets down town or around the outside of town, or around the entire town, or whatever. (meaning Im just driving around, not driving into oncoming traffic, or across people's lawns. Though, that WOULD be a killer way to cure boredom!) Sometimes I'll take my Pocket PC along and throw up WiFiFoFum and see just how many AP's I get, just to see who's out there and who's not. I once drove from the north end of my college town, to the south end and picked up over 80 AP's, and 50 or so were open systems. Wow. I'll also do lots of things with the computer(s) and just goof off. I do know when things get so stagnant, that all you do is go to work, come home, do the same things that night, go to sleep and get up to do it all over again can really wear you down. The best cure for this honestly is to get out there and be with people. Even if it's to go out to the bar (pub) and shoot some pool (billiards).
You could always go the cheap route and join a church and go to every single group activity.. the LDS church around here, oh boy, that's thier thing. A Dance every single friday, special singles group meetings usually in the middle of the week, and there's church every single sunday for the rest of your life. Of course, if you're using the church to meet people, God just might "smite" you, but hey, at least you'll feel better when the hammer comes down, eh?
Sorry, didnt mean to go all head-shrinky, but speaking from personal experience, being alone, doing the same exact things day to day, not really having something to look forward to can be real tough. Hey, everyone looks at themselves (unless they're stuck-up egotistical bastards, who usually are the worst to the extreme) and thinks negatively about themselves. To others, it's all about how you present yourself. Don't let the negative side get ya down. Just have fun and live in the moment when you have good times.

I act like Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean.

Random is exactly right. :p

I don't get it..... are you japanese or something? Is this insulting to Koreans or what's the joke ?
-
Korean's are known as avid gamers. Thus, playing starcraft, play zerg, thus they evolved into zergs.
Just a vast stab at one of many stereotypes. :)
Quite humourous. :p

To Koreans....StarCraft is like the NHL for us. No joke. Its a big deal for them. Televised StarCraft tournaments and everything I was reading about goes on down there. So the natural course of evolution is to a Zerg Hydralisk :)
I would expect it to be a compliment given the current video game culture. A complimentary joke of course.

What do i do when im bored...
....
....
Theres a hundred diffrent things i do when im bored, but i just hit a blank slate when trying to think up of a one i do the most..

Build model rockets and launch them. You can usually find some rockets and engines at hobby shops. Keep in mind, though: higher or bigger = better. Two-stagers = PAIN IN THE ASS!!
*reminices
-
Well Grug and Ice Fire did explain prettymuch everything behind that pic so... :F
And besides that Hydralisk pic I found was perfect to be shopped into that Evolution theory, it was allmost in right color too.

LoLz. Da, it was a nice job. :p
Now do another one!
Is it weird that I find it at the least... interesting that thesizzler can build rockets? :p
-
Maybe next time when I'm bored :p
thesizzler and rockets, should the world be worried or not...
If you have a videocamera take a clip from the next launch ^^
-
Two-stagers = PAIN IN THE ASS!!
you should probably fix the aiming on that, then.

Ah sizz, all in good fun. :p
-
Yeah, I've never heard of anyone shoving a rocket up their own ass before!! LOL!
-
Well, thankyou for clearing that up for us Mr. State-the-obvious. :rolleyes:
-
OOOOHHHHH!!!!! well get you!! :ick:
-
Yeah, I've never heard of anyone shoving a rocket up their own ass before!! LOL!
technically, it would be firing. Otherwise it goes from a joke to, well, lock up your children and call the morality police territory.

Here is a paint recap of my first (one stage) rocket launch. I'm almost positive that the fins were croocked, but those turdwipes at the store said they were fine, so I'm angry!
(http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/53/2nd6eb.png)
When the first stage falls off, the second stage should ignite right away. If the engines are put in correctly, of course. I put the wrong one on top, so it delayed 5 seconds at the top instead of at the launch pad. Then it flipped over mid-air and ZOOM!! (zoom zoom!) Flew straight into the ground! BLAM!!!
-
:lol:
Can't think why you're having so many problems. It's not exactly rocket scie..... oh wait it is! :D
-
All the stuff I like I suck at. :(

Speaking of aerial experiments, another thing I do when I'm bored: Paper airplanes. They are awesome. All kinds of interesting things in aerodynamics can be easily understood by experimenting with different kinds of design. :nervous:
-
When I'm bored, I trigger random E-mail alerts for old threads on HLP. ;7
How many of you just got one?
Seriously though...I design and build model rockets too. It's fun, cheap, and other people think it's awesome. I launched one for a Physics project. Some of the school staff didn't know what was happening and they called the State Police. If you want a real time consuing challenge, design your own rocket. I'm working on one right now, the Javelin SSR. Depending on the math results, I might have to get FAA clearance so I don't accidentally shoot down a Cessna... If it works, I won't find it. If it fails, I won't find it. Four stages of D-Engines will do that...
Oh yeah, what happened in the second pic is referred to as a "Worm Guillotine." I'm not kidding, that's the technical term.
