When you're down, what do you do to pick yourself up?

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

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.

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)

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

i tied this today

my dog looked at the bowl - then looked at me with what i suspect to be a c'mon grow up expression
then my pup walked away
