When I was younger I used to hear "if you are bored it is because you are boring". I don't know if that is why I never use that to describe how I feel but I read it here often so I wanted to post about it. Let newcomers know that sometimes it isn't boredome, it's calmness. Don't let the AV trick you into confusing the two!
