I eat unfortunately, but I am trying to do other things instead like going running, going to the gym, taking my dog on a hike... etc. They usually get my mind off the yucky stuff, and make me feel more confident about myself!

Recently? I put Phantom of the Opera on full blast and sing along.

Usually results in my having a good cry and then feeling considerably better.

After a thoroughly miserable and stressful day the lovely Alice Allarse, knowing it was one of those days for me, suggested cocktails at our current favourite cocktail venue. A couple of magaritas, a lime daiquiri and a good few laughs later I'm not half so miserable.

Estella · 10-12-2011, 03:18 PM

Reading through these posts I'm beginning to really feel on a fundamental level what a materialistic, bourgeois hussy I really am. I don't sing, write letters, volunteer, or do nice things for others. I shop. Good, old-fashioned retail therapy. In fact, back in the day when I had noooo money, I would promise myself an allowance of $5 per week to spend on anything I wanted. I could splurge and buy candy bars, or I could save it up for a couple of weeks and buy a new lipstick. Fortunately, I'm generally pretty emotionally stable and I don't blow the mortgage money, but the fact is a day with new shoes is a day with just a little more sunshine.

Hollylane · 10-19-2011, 08:16 PM

I used to sing, and as soon as this cough gets out of my lungs...I will sing again...OFTEN.

T D · 10-19-2011, 08:37 PM

I usually go for a walk. Works every time

miss entycing · 10-27-2011, 11:23 AM

days like today, it's really deep, hard, dark and LOUD music.
or i write a new story.
or i steal my dads 67 GTO and drive it reallyyyyyy fast. any road. to anywhere.
or i climb my tail on the bike and hold on tight.
or i hide, i dis-associate completely or i just simply cry in the corner.
it is what it is. it all works for me.

tapu · 10-27-2011, 11:26 AM

I've served my dog his food in a Tupperware bowl, and put the clear, plastic lid on it. Only once though.

ButchEire · 10-27-2011, 11:28 AM

Spend a day with my best friend's kids. Puts EVERYTHING in perspective.

sara-bera · 10-27-2011, 11:33 AM

stand by the ocean

take a walk in the sunshine

listen to happy, bouncy love songs

talk with my best friend

have some tea

watch a silly movie

stretch or do a little yoga (poorly, but I do try)

tapu · 10-27-2011, 11:40 AM

One time, to distract myself from thinking about my downer, I made a spider out of 100 of those black binder clips with the wire pinchee on each side, you know? Like in offices?

I started with 4 large clips hooked together to make the central mass (body), and then I splayed out eight legs by clipping more clips, first same size and then progressively smaller, to each clip before it.

I didn't put just one clip on the clip before; instead, I clipped one on each of the two pinchees on the previous binder clip. (This is key.) It made, like, long, hairy-looking spider legs. I can make one again and take a picture of it in case you want to make your own.

tapu · 10-27-2011, 11:52 AM

Hey, is there anybody who can send me a whole bunch of those binder clips in different sizes?

Thanks,
tapu

CockyDude · 10-27-2011, 11:59 AM

But once again I have to say; blondes, bikes, beer.
Yea, I am that base. ;-)

tapu · 10-27-2011, 02:32 PM

Oh my. Because of my earlier request for binder clips, some here have been concerned that I might be down right now. No, I just wanted to make another spider and I don't know what happened to my binder clips.

Thank you, you-know-who-you-are!
