Thanks for the replies =] Was just a little curious.

This actually might be exactly what it is! I have a lot of moments where I feel emotionally numb/diconnected. Hence, no feelings about anything - boredom.

Some days I do feel the urge, but some days I don't. I do know that blood i almost always a factor for me though, so again, you might be on to something

It feels like a habit, and then sometimes almost a chore. Maybe its not really boredom/fun but a mix of a bunch of these. Thanks for the insight =]
