Stream-of-consciousness writing can really help to clear your head and quickly expel negative emotions (at least, in my opinion it does). Try it sometime when you don't have the time to throw a big tantrum and be upset for most of the day.

Usually when I do a SoC entry, I either don't post it, or post it as private, so only I can see it. But today, I'll let you in on my angst so you can see my thought-process and understand how SoC kind of works. At the beginning of the grammatic monstrosity that is to follow, I was annoyed and a bit miffed. Now I'm calmer and ready to go do whatever it is Mom wants me to do. Sometimes we just have to expel vast amounts of emotional ranting, and SoC writing is great for that because it doesn't give anyone the chance to interrupt you and upset you further. I find it also helps to straighten my thoughts out so that when I do need to discuss them with someone, I can express them in an intelligent manner that they'll understand. :)



I had been hoping to make some icons today, upload some stuff to deviantart, maybe do some laundry, finish decoupaging my moleskine so I can start carrying it around again...but no. Mom wants me to weed the garden for a half hour. But it's never for just a half hour because then by the time I finish I'm hungry, so I go to make myself something and then she asks me to make something for her since she's working outside and doesn't want to come in, and then I have to take a shower, and by then my brother is on the computer, and that's where all of my photographs and images and image editing program are located, so then I can't get anything done that I wanted because I'm stuck on my laptop that I can't put anything on because it's so old it can't handle anything more than two text files and when I try to explain this to him he gets an attitude with me and all mom will say is, "well you should have finished what you had to do before you went outside" except if I had done that I would have been weeding during the hottest part of the day and then I would have gotten sick because I'm so god-damn weak and then I would have been out of commission for several days and I know this because it always happens and god-damn it I don't even feel like doing laundry anymore but I have to because I fucking ran out of clean underwear so I won't even have anything to put on after I get all gross and sweaty from weeding and I can't weed and do laundry at the same time because then I spend the whole half hour walking back and forth getting nothing done and just wastefully expelling energy but I fucking need to I need underwear and damn it all now I've pissed mom off so either way I'm screwed

So the next time you're upset and don't want to be interrupted in your rant, try this and feel better, because....it's better than just sitting there and stewing. (Yes? No? Please tell me I don't sound preachy....is this even helping you guys, or did I just put my emo angst rant up for nothing? ...I really want to proofread my SoC sentence now XD )
