27 Things to do When You're Bored

Now that I've created the title for this post, I have to admit that I can't remember a time when I was bored. I've always been a reader, and there's always something to read – a book, magazine, text message, cereal box, or road signs. But I've heard enough people claim to be bored, so I thought I'd make some suggestions to keep you from yawning.
