This was news to me…although a part of me suspected that the person who inspired Jealousy also inspired Being Boring. Just adds more layers to the PSB mythos.

This is from the May 2024 issue of Record Collector.

Are typhoon days exciting?

I've never seen a typhoon in real life, so when our teachers warned us about one (Krathon) getting closer to Taiwan, I was surprised by my classmates' reaction. They were celebrating as, it turns out, it means that the classes will be cancelled when it reaches the land.

I'll admit, I was kinda excited too, at first, but the day (2, in fact) arrived, and we were told to stay indoors, I realised just how boring it is. Sure, I have movies to watch, as well as video games I took with me.

So for 2 days, I've read Edith Hamilton's "Mythology"and finished rewatching Harry Potter movies, as well as registered for the TOCFL exam (mainly because our teacher said that those who pass it won't have to write the final exam in January, as well as recieve a gift from the university). Someone might even say I was very productive. Or I'm just old and boring, that counts as well.

I've met a few new students whom I've seen in our "Exchange students" group chat, but never talked to in person. Realised that my German language skills are not as bad as I thought — while the two of my new acquaintances talked to each other, I could understand 90% of what they were saying, just couldn't reply.

The classes started again on 04.10., but at least half of the classroom was empty — it seems some people decided to extend their "vacation."

I've just one ambition in life: I aspire to go on and on being boring.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

im so serious if you cant imagine a single female character u like or you coincidentally only care about men or imagine that women are a different species of human that are impossible to draw or write about or relate to, You are the problem. its not because you’re gay it’s because you do not like women

I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.

It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.

yknow i dont go here but sometimes i gotta go: seriously respect clowns. they have the worst pop culture representation in the world and also the best most thorough honor code. they're just here to be silly little guys who bring joy and are very conscientious about doing so responsibly. let them to their merriment in peace you dont hafta take potshots. i dont go here but like maybe i should, you all seem super chill

Came across…this performance of Being Boring…and it was something. I think I came across this look by Neil before and I am a fan. It does look out of place…but that is typical PSB. But the trim down of the song….hmmm.

Makes me curious to see other performances of Being Boring around the time of its original release.
