Ten Cathartic Acts

1. Writing lists about something that makes you unhappy. (And not necessarily publishing it on the world wide web)
2. Cutting up something that makes you unhappy into a million pieces, putting it in the bin and listening out for the garbage truck to take it away in the cool of a summer morning.
3. Telling the truth when and where it needs to be told. (What seems, to you, like the truth, that is, as there is no absolute, real truth. Truth is a fallacy.)
4. Poetry--or poetastery--depending on your prowess in this department.
5. Just open up to someone--on a train, or a tram or a busstop. (A slight amount of oddness is expected in these sorts of places.)
6. Paint your adversary's likeness on a ping-pong ball, and then play hard.
7. Acceptance. Realising that sometimes things just are the way they are can set you free. Don't fight it.
8. Add horns and a funny mustache to the picture on their face book site.
9. List them on RSVP.com with attributes that are likely to attract the more odd sort of person as a match.
10. Walk in the rain, cursing about what irks you. Getting the curse outside of your body, to be washed away by rain, cleanses your soul.
