I think "bored" is a state of your own thinking. It merely means you are in a situation that you don't find stimulating.
I am an internet and news junky, I find reading atheist debates and keeping up on the world very stimulating. People stupidly project what stimulates them on others "I do it, so there for if you don't you are a boring person".
Being in the woods would bore the shit out of me. I think nature is pretty, but I don't like walking up hills or being chilled by cold or sweat from heat. I get enough socializing at work. When I was younger I would go out more, but now, I have figured out anything I want to do is cheaper at home and keeps me out of trouble.
I am very stimulated by reading the thoughts of other atheists and even the absurd arguments from theists.
Basically people get their rocks off doing all sorts of different things.
I get bored in situations where I get stuck listing to long winded superficial crap. Like at work when I hear co workers talk about reality shows or their favorite brand of lipstick. SHUT THE FUCK UP!
However, even most recently I found myself criticizing Neil Degrees Tyson when he said "the universe called me" adapting the same language Christians do as a "calling". It made my dick itch. DUDE I love you Neil, but skip the woo and simply say "it was too appealing to me to resist studying the universe". He simply got stuck on it, like people get stuck on other things. Fortunately he got stuck on the right thing in science.
Point being, we all get our rocks off on something and when we are outside that we stupidly call other people boring.
