    Does university count?

    When it gets really boring, I start drawing female elves. Depending on how boring it gets and how much coffee I've drunk, it's faces or whole bodies. When for some reason I can't or don't feel like drawing female elves (for example having drunk four coffees at the hour of nine in the morning), I start flirting with the closest suitable female in sight. If #1 there's no such object in reach, or #2 I'm currently sticking to just one such object for a longer time, I take a fantasy or sci-fi book and read it as though it were a course book. If I have no book, I say good night :D

    Does school count? :p

    For me, it's a lot like Chev,except that I don't flirt with the females (no suitable ones here... :( ) and I draw male elves. Usually.... um, better stay quiet.
    Of course, I read all the time, too :D

    At work when there aren't any customers in the store and I've finished all my work aside from manning the register, I pick up a book and read.

    I used to stare out the window, but once you've done that for an hour or 6 with only brief interruptions of work, you start getting really bored. :)
