Day 9: My Negative Coping Mechanisms

This is the point in any experiment in which I start to get bored and start to rationalize why I shouldn’t go through with my 30 posts in 30 days. Only 5 people read my blog, I think, and almost all of them know me in real life. I already did the entry about Vegas-Gate. What else is there?

Because the show must go on and because I have to develop some kind of discipline if I am ever going to get anywhere in this life or I will kill myself. Well, I won’t kill myself. I’ll slowly do it with more alcohol and more vices.

Anyway.As I write this entry, my head is burning with the chemical death of Feria hair dye and my neck is covered in Vaseline (a typical Wednesday afternoon) as every single time I looked at my hair, I could see the faded out red from the last time I did a shitty drug store hair dye job and it was making me angry. Soon my hair, which is already pretty black, will be EXTRA BLACK.

I love doing things that give me an illusion of control like dying my hair. My favorites are:

1)Re-arranging furniture

2)Emptying the dishwasher and doing another load of dishes

3)E-stalking my exes and seeing how busted their new girlfriends look

4)Putting up a Craigslist ad, getting a ton of responses and ignoring all of them

5)Going for a walk with my iPod and imagining fantastic revenge scenarios, music video style

What are the things you do to make yourself feel better that don’t actually change anything?

I do #2 & #3. I should try 1!
I used to do #5 when I actually left my house. I do it when I travel!

ORGANIZING!

I prefer to eschew self-discipline in favor of buying myself things, eating out, playing with mood-altering substances, and Facebook.

1) Um, who doesn’t stalk ex boyfriends and their current ex’s? I should note i did this today and found out that my ex is now happily in love with a 23 year old. I am 31. Everyone laugh.

2) Sometimes I like to exfoliate my entire body and then shave it. Try it, it feels really good.

3) Downloading lots of aggressive punk from itunes and then going on a run, thinking about how awesome my ass will be next time I see (insert dude’s name here). Then I go eat an entire pizza.
