BioSo yes, I know why I do this now (I'm bored/narcisistic), but still...the question remains, what is the boring?
No, I'm not changing the purpose of the NRB, nor am I ever going to try and address it. Instead, I'll try to alleviate my own boredom and perhaps give you another person's pathetic little life to laugh at when you're feeling down. You know, in the "hey, it could be worse–at least I'm not that guy" sort of way. If I succeed, perhaps I might give you some distraction from your own ill-defined boredom; if not, I'm just one more person on your friends list to help boost your ego. No matter what, you win.
