I just learned a new word, via [info]torgo_x:
ennui
Why did I never know this word?

Because you're so damn hyper that you've never had time to think about it.

strong word

It's a very strong word in french. Children often say: "Maman je m'ennuie" ("Mom, I'm bored"). It's the feeling of not knowing what to do next, because everything look uninteresting, or not interesting anymore... seeking for excitement.

More new words for you to fight your boredom: "ça me fait chier" or "Je me fais chier". Which is the regular slang for the same thing :)

Because you spent college starting a business rather than exploring the abyss?

I didn't know it until I saw it on a license plate a couple years ago. The guy I was with thought I was rather dumb, I think.

"LJ founder has never heard of 'ennui'" sounds like a headline from The Onion.

Потрясающе. Только что прочла статью в российской прессе, где был указан этот блог. Блог создателя Живого Журнала. Я свой ЖЖ практически не веду, но все равно очень уважаю человека, создавшего все это ))))
