I either take a nap or go through my forms. - Unless you're in martial arts, I suppose it wouldn't apply ;)

most of it involves going out, but if you can't go out at all, then i guess talk on the phone or turn the sound way up and watch a good movie on dvd.

I'm waiting for my friend to call, and I have been watching Moulin Rouge, my fave movie eva. And eating chinese food that I bought myself, per FFM's recommendation. He had really good advice on how to cheer up. :D

And besides, I got the best PM's ever, to cheer me up. You guys know who you are, and you are both awesome. *hugs*

excersize is always an option. Often i will actually do some work while at work. Its rare, but sometimes happens. I like to make funny pictures and put them on my web site to. That takes up alot of time.

I sleep, and when I wake up I'm all better :D. Being unconcious is the BEST way to deal with feeling down...., kinna, as long as your not getting there with crack or hard liquor. If you do it that way you'll find yourself sleeping behind a bank in a pile of dog doodoo feeling like complete crap........., TRUST ME :p.

Outlawing sperm would be bad, i think if they developed a switch that turned that function on and off that would be cool. no messes...this is gettting nasty

Exercise> Hot Shower> Cold Beer > Computer Games > Read a good Book> Bed.

Usually does the trick for me. Used daily, it can pre-emptively eliminate the blues.

I swallow popcorn kernels and a little oil, I then place the heating pad on my stomach and listen to the popcorn pop. It always gives me a chuckle and brightens up my day.:D

I think the best way is to go shopping or hang out with close friends or people that love you. Also, try doing volunteer work for something that you feel passionate about. You meet great people and you are doing something that will have an impact on someone else. When feeling down, try to stay busy so you don't dwell on things too much!
