A Thousand and One Ways of Dealing With Stress

Ok, maybe not a THOUSAND... but each one is soooo good, you might just multiply it by a thousand.
Anyhosers, over the weekend I felt stressed like I haven't been in a long time. I had all these things to read and do and date and ref... and I was rapidly running out of hours to be legitimately productive. So I turned to the happier things in life and all my troubles floated away on a purple cloud of ecstasy!! That didn't sound right...

These are things I did and they worked for me:
1. Tend to the bare necessities and forget about your worries and your strife. Listen to some Disney music while you're at it.
2. Read a book that's just for fun and not for school. All the sudden the day is gone and you no longer have the ability to finish your homework, so why worry?
3. Sniff exorbitant amounts of dishwasher soap. Then make up words. Exorbitatious!
4. Think about the Joker and how crappy his life was. Then think about how happy he was. Talk about a 'glass half full' guy!
5. Act like the Joker. Then again, if you've gotten to the homicide part, maybe you've gone too far.
6. Write on your blog about coping with stress, or find other ways to procrastinate the day of your repentance.
7. Go to Taco Bell or Chick-Fil-A! Scientifically proven stress relievers! If by science you mean gaseousness. Gasiosity. Dish-washer soap.
8. Annoy your roommates.
9. Take a shower just so you can sing at the top of your lungs and nobody minds (or if they do mind, they can't tell you stop, or they'd have to risk a very awkward situation).
10. Take a page out of the Polynesian's book and find something to celebrate. The other day I celebrated going back to school, which is about the biggest antithesis of celebration there could be. Olive Garden was great though.
11. Maybe... if all the other options fail... just maybe... actually do some homework.

Just some suggestions.

When you say act like the Joker... are you referring to the slightly jolly cartoon version or the creeper Heath Leader version?
