I'll write it in steps, it's more comprehensive that way.

1. I identify what is stressing me.
2. I decide if it can be solved.
3. a. If it can't be solved, I talk about it or try to make peace with myself regarding the subject.
3. b. If it can be solved, I think about how I could solve it.
4. I confront the issue with the knowledge that I will feel better once it is solved. (This can result in kind of a kamikaze assault, but I live.)

When I get stressed I freak out or I deal with it.

PS: someone want to give me a ride to M.'s house/give me her address?

I complain a lot under stress. ;P And sometimes I get frustrated/easily irritated. But I really wasn't stressed about finals. I don't think I've been too stressed in a while, in fact. Go team me. :D

That's true. I'm very ticklish. :)

Wow, I'm in this blog now. Thanks! That's incredibly cool to me. Before I got my blog, I was talking to Sage about how interesting I find it that you all have your lives so open in these journals, even one for everybody, and how cool I thought it was. And now here I am. Just goes to show ya. I dont know what it goes to show ya, but I'm sure something. So yes, pretty groovy. Well, thanks for letting me in, I just want you all to know that I have only known you all for less than a year, but I think you are certainly some of the most groovy people I've ever met, and I'm really glad you've invited me into this crazy shebang.
