3 Points! and my first 5 Gratitudes
Mar. 31st, 2008 09:19 pmI am spamming LJ tonight. Don't mind me.
Point the first--REALLY FUN ESSAY on SQUEEEEEE! Go, read, have joy.
Point the second--there is a Porn Battle happening on InsaneJournal. I am tempted to think up prompts to request, because--hi, pr0n. But I hesitate because I'm afraid all my requests will be Tim/Cissie and therefore ignored because apparently writing porn for them is impossible. (If my flist takes this as a challenge, I will not stand in anyone's way. Feel quite free to prove me completely wrong.)
Point the third--in an attempt to be more positive and stop dwelling on everything that is wrong and bad and makes me curl up and cry and get stuck in my depressive cycle--I created a community,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
5_gratitudes. I have been told to try to find 5 things to be grateful for *every* *day.* Even--or especially on bad days. They do not have to be big, huge, life-altering gratitudes. Just 5 things that make you feel grateful on this day. It's a small thing, but it might help.
In that vein, I think this might be a good thing for more people to do. So--no pressure. The only rule is that you post your list and be nice to one another. It is an effort to keep the depressive cycle at bay, after all. ;) Come, join me, be grateful.5_gratitudes
Am posting my list here *and* there, because I can and because I think you should all join me.
March 31, 2008:
1. The girls in the other 5th grade class, who squealed over my new haircut at lunch and wanted to touch my hair and were insanely cute about it.
2. A student from last fall (in another class this year) who ran up to me and gave me a HUGE hug in the hall because he thought I looked stressed.
3. The essay on squee.
4. AIM, where I can chat with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zoe_chan and xenokattz
5. I had a nap and a plum!
There is no order to those, just as they occurred to me.
