"Ennui"

fourth in the Chinque Dame series, which developed over the coarse of 2 weeks usually between the hours of midnight and 3 am, at which time roomates returned from the bar and suggested titles. I didn't know the meaning of "Ennui" at the time...and that amused me. I believe that boredom is a choice...and there are so many more fun choices.
