Boring...as in Dull rather than Drilling a Hole Into Something

Here's the thing: I never, ever wanted to, and made a vow in my early 20s not to, become boring.

And I think I have.

Dull.  The opposite of dull is sharp and I certainly must allow for the fact that my mind is not so much in the "sharp" department anymore.  Sadly.  So my mind is dull.

 

Tiresome.  Tired, yes.  That proves a constant.  But tiresome?  Would others willingly concede to me being a tiresome person with whom to be around?

 

Uncongenial.  Hmmm...

Why am I sharing this?  To get some sort of recognition that I am still a good person?  Nah.  Because I'm too boring to have anything else about which to talk?  Probably.

 

Fatigue.  Tire.  Annoy.

Geesh, I think I feel like a nap now...

What do YOU think makes a person NON-boring????
