You know two such women :-)

I don't know how to be bored. Really. The closest that comes to it is
being on a train or in a waiting room with nothing to read, but then I
think and make up stories; and it's frustrating rather than boring. I
can't get my mind round boredom, the languid Sunday-afternoon state of
mind that makes one do nothing even if there are many things to choose
from that children seem to be prone to (and I wasn't even as a child).
