I think the answer lies in the second half of the word everyTHING. Genesis opens with the words, "In the beginning..." In the beginning of what? God? Nope. Things, creation. God existed before time, if you can rap your head around that. If no time exists, then speaking of the passage of time as if there was some interminably long period of boredom, then KABLAM God decides to make everything doesn't quite line up. Eternity is outside of time. Seeing that time relates to this physical universe, that which is outside of it is timeless and is both before, during and after time. Ever notice how hard it is to talk about forever without mentioning time? That is because we are surrounded by it, constrained by it - it hems us in.
For God, however, time is irrelevant. God lives in the eternal now, for lack of a better way of expressing it. What this means is that all time that ever exsisted, or ever will exist, exists right now as far as God is concerned. He knows the end and the beginning - He is Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. Think of it like a movie on film; the beginning and the end exist at the same time. It is only when we put it in motion that we experience it as time. If we were characters in that film, we would be unaware of the end of the movie, and insofar as we had education or exposure, we would be indirectly aware of the beginning. If you could turn the reel of film on its side and somehow view the whole thing at once, you would have a taste of what God's perspective is like. This is why when prophecy is issued in the scripture, it often is given in the past tense; it is certain because God has already seen it come to pass.
Lastly, His Name reflects this: Yahweh or Jehovah or YHWH. Roughly translated it means I am that I am. Another way of putting this is, the self existent one, the eternal one.
Now to your question! He was not alone, if the trinity is any indication! I do not profess to understand it, but Christ was with Him in fellowship - the Divine 3 in One.
That said, I would not attribute loneliness or boredom to Him, since both of those things imply insufficiency or need. God needs nothing, so He was not compelled to make anything to alleviate it. His decision was a free act of His will. Since this is true, He is under no compulsion whatever to let it continue. He, "Upholds all things by the word of His power," but He is not subject to them.
Blessings, and I hope you will forgive the rambling...

God is Creative. I suspect He always Created. Look at the Stars, the Awesome beauty of the Universe, He has been Busy.

I think God was looking at darkness, because there was no sky or light, and said to himself, "How can I make something beautiful with darkness." When he can up with an idea, he executed his plan on creating the world and humans. I think he wanted things to go smoothly, but jealously started with his created angels. So, even though God had a beautiful plan in his mind, jealously ruined it.

He created 'The Pen', which recorded in a book, all that was to be created, and everything that was to happen from the beginning to the end...
Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 94
Narrated byUbadah ibn as-Samit: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: The first thing which Allah created was Pen. He commanded it to write. It asked: What should I write? He said: Write the Decree (al-Qadr). So it wrote what had happened and what was going to happen up to eternity.
Transmitted by Tirmidhi (said that the Isnad of this hadith is gharib).

technological understanding explains the huge bang grew to become into not from not something yet from a singularity that grew to become into all the difficulty and potential in the universe compressed right into a single factor that then multiplied straight away! So it grew to become into constantly right here! yet why are Christians constantly claiming the huge bang got here from not something? Are they that ignorant? Did they sleep by using college or is it that they understand the reality yet think of they could twist it because of the fact anybody is gullible?! that's barely Christians that declare that there grew to become into not something and then god popped up out of nowhere and is meant to have then produced each and every thing from not something!

The Bible says that God always existed. It doesn't tell us everything. There are somethings our minds can't comprehend and also things God doesn't want us to know right now.
God Bless!

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (God) were in fellowship with one another.

My guess is He did have something to do, because He always does, but I think He was probably a little bored.
