canadian otaku : Activities for bored otaku

Yes we all get bored. especially with the long ass winters in Canada! so what do I like to do when I'm bored? nothing to do? well heres some shit i do to pass the time! (not all these are otaku related i just like doing these things when I'm bored.)

This list excludes hanging out with friends because thats what i normally do and its not really a bored pass the time type thing for me.

1. DIY (i know cliche but hear me out...)

It can as simple as printing out your favourite anime characters and putting them up around your room or making a bag or your own pins. Craft at whatever your good at, or try something new! like sewing, knitting, dioramas, origami or paper craft, hotglue stuff or make your own posters. I like polymer clay too and it really kills time in a pleasant way. Hobbies like this actually receive stress and depression and make you a happier person so even if your not bored these are still therapeutic.

2. Figure photography

ok so theres a whole community of people who photograph nendoroids or collectibles. Infact I do it too, check out my instagram @happyninja . anyways so its very fun and you can get so creative with it by making your own sets and re creating scenes fro your favourite anime with figma or nendoroid. here are some of my own pictures for reference:

Take pictures with your polaroid as well if you have one! they're lots of fun!

3. Watch the newest anime! watch a new anime series from the year to see what 2016 anime has to offer or maybe wrath an old favourite anime as well! go back to the classics!
