How can I learn to entertain myself without my boyfriend?

I’ve never been the type of person to be passionate about a hobby. I actually don’t really have any hobbies–unless you count mindless activities like browsing Yahoo Answers ;) . My boyfriend (who I live with) recently bought a house and, since he’s into DIY projects, he likes spending his spare time working on improving the house. I love spending time with him and so what I like to do in my spare time is hang out with him. I know he’s started to get really annoyed with me because he wants to do his projects and I get bored waiting for him to get done. Also I feel really guilty watching him work so hard and loving it while I’m either doing nothing or forcing myself to do housework just for the sake of being productive.

What are some things I could do to keep myself occupied and happy for hours at a time while he’s doing his own thing? I don’t really have an interest in anything or any useful skills that I could make use of. I know I’ve got to learn to be happy without my boyfriend, though, or he’ll stop being happy with me. Any ideas, from a craft to a home-improvement task that an unskilled person could handle or whatever, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. I’m not putting this in a category like Hobbies and Crafts because A. it’ll get more attention here and B. this question has more to do with us being happy in our relationship than it has to do with crotcheting. And it’s going in Marriage and Divorce instead of Singles and Dating since our relationship is basically like a married one in everything but the name.
