in the face of adversity...

- Eat lots of Nutella.
- Punch pillows and scream into the stuffing (Lilo-style)
- Throw everything onto the floor upon entering your bedroom floor
- Take a long, long, long drive
- Cry, cry and then when you're calm... cry some more
- Call someone to vent to
- Leave teary messages on their voicemail when they don't pick up the phone
- Listen to loud rock or emo music
- Go for a loooong swim
- Spend time with a baby to remind you that there is still hope in the world...
