Fact: I become stressed fairly quickly/frequently.
ORLY?
When my stress levels peak, rather than freak out and cry, I usually resort to a few different activities — channeling my stress toward something (mildly) productive rather than allowing my teenage angst to get the best of me.
Coping mechanisms include, but are not limited to:
- Applying/retouching my make up
- Windexing counter tops
- Laundry
- Washing/drying/putting away dishes
- Making my bed
- Photoshopping
- Alphabetizing anything
- List-making
- Clearing space on my Mac
Tonight was the ultimate clear out of my iTunes. I sat and weeded through thousands of songs… deleting doubles, corrupt files, old podcasts, and crap albums.
Final body count? 1,091.
Jeepers. That just sounds excessive.
Casualties include: Steps, The Clash, Suede, Slade, Sting, The Police, Five, Girls Aloud, Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver, a lot of extra Ramones tracks…
I feel better.
