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. :)

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 )
