.u'i - perhaps we could start a Lojban spam archive!

I started translating this as avoidance activity (I'm supposed to be 
grading papers) and got as far as:

mi tulno .i .u'nia.a'ucu'i .i mi citni'u .ije misisku lo nanamu poi 
djice le nu penmi je sezdile

A couple of questions then came to mind.

1. Is there a better attitudinal for "bored"?
2. "je" isn't really the best conjunction here, since it implies an 
event that consists of both meeting and having fun, whereas the English 
implies that the meeting is a prerequisite to the having fun.  Is there 
a more appropriate way of saying this?
