Rush.

If I say I'm neither, does that make me insane anyway?

babyblues:
Rush.

Modern day warrior?

reading your posts reminds me of these guys, who keep me runnin'.

hookers and blow

Robocop keeps my mind clean of criminal thoughts.

Reading, Gaming, Insulting people with complicated insults then making fun of their inability to understand what I just said.

nothing its too late, im in a padded room with a straght-jacket on typing with my toes, skilled huh?

My army of rat slaves, my masses of keytars, and my Hemorrhage Launcher, all aboard the good ship The Eccentric Ventriloquist.

Besides that, chocolate.

Hacking zombies to death is therapeutic, so is shooting people with Force lightning. By this rationale, I should be getting medicaid help buying games.

Oh, and the whole not killing anyone yet? You're welcome

I'm kept sane by thinking about how absolutely crap it is that I have a viral cough. The cough going to stay for six weeks after other viral symptoms desist, according to my doctor.

How'd you get a computer into your cell and whats the connection like?

I laugh at petty concepts like sanity. Sanity is an illusion. No one is truly sane, they only pretend. *goes bake to yelling at furniture*

Video games, books, music and movies all do their part. Programming too, although I think it contributes just as much to the insanity.
My good friend Mary Jane also helped me through some of the shit that entertainment alone couldn't deal with, like keeping a demeaning dead end job because you needed the money.

Shadowtek:
booze, bongs, babes. thats about it. (its definitely not my job)

Really? Those three things are the reason I'm slowly losing it.

Music keeps me sane...
But it's not doing a very good job.

I don't even know if I am sane. I can't remember what it was like before everything went to shit, and my perspective of the world is clearly on a different kind of level to everyone I meet and talk to. So I don't think I'm 'sane' given the standard definition of the word.
But what's keeping me from becoming a gibbering wreck? Strength of will, pretty much. Oh, and aggression. Lots and lots of aggression.
Shooting filthy, threatening looks at anyone I think is staring at me helps with the paranoia too.

The knowledge of that going insane and going on a mass genocide and other out of the norm activities wouldn't have many benefits.

Humm...the only thing that keeps me sane, is that I consider any kind of breakdown, emotional or otherwise to be a failure on my part. And that any such failure would be some kind of indication of 'proof' on the part of both the people around me and society in general.

In short: I never want to have people say - I always knew there was something wrong with that one. You could see it in his eyes.

Thus, I'm very careful not to allow myself to the activities associated with such, I won't self harm, I won't drink or abuse any kind of drug, I won't harbor thoughts of going on some kind of killing spree or murder of anyone or thing. And, though I am occasionally depressed, I'll never kill myself, although, at some points I have to wonder if even though I may say that, if it only takes some really low point in my life to actually turn around and do it.

Otherwise, I consider myself to be sane, and if not strictly happy, then at least content, and such thoughts have so far kept me this way.

Sane huh? well.. that ship has sailed my friend it has sailed gotten back and sunk already.

What keeps me sane? Knowing that there is no one else like me in the world, that i am completely unique, oh and my pride in humanity despite all our flaws we've achieved great things.

Killing spree you say? Many a time i have thought about killing an entire room full of people with a pencil and a chair leg but hey, whatever makes you happy.

Easy to pick up on the word kill aren't we? :P No...even if I do occasionally have thoughts to that nature...I'd never actually entertain seriously committing such an act. Not least of all that as I said, I wouldn't want to be thought...bad, or even evil by anyone. Thus, you watch yourself, say only nice acceptable things, keep all the bad inside. Thus you remain sane.

However...the thought does cross, that what happens one day when all this bottling in comes to a head? Will all my efforts be wasted if for one brief moment the bottle cracks? Scary thought to me, so I thus keep the bottle well maintained.

The only thing that keeps me sane is my collection of singing tissue boxes. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!... uh... Where am I?

I'm going over there for ages!

I have 2 things that keep me sane. One is a temporary thing that keeps me sane when I'm away from the main thing.

Temporary: Smoking. It relaxes me and calms me down so I don't worry and stress so much and feel like killing myself.

Main: My girlfriend. When I'm with her everything else in my life just dissapears. I plan to quit smoking as soon as we are living togeather.

OOPS! Did I kill the happy mood in here?.....ummmm.....

Define "sane"

Video games and my whife.

sane-
adj. san·er, san·est
1. Of sound mind; mentally healthy
2. Having or showing sound judgment; reasonable.

Knowing that tomorrow is a different day keeps me going.I just started school again and everyday i think "oh no it's only wednsday? oh well in 3 days it'll be the weekend! yay!"

Whatever it is, it's not doing it job. Today I had a 9 hour shift at a job I hate, My car broke down AGAIN, and I threw up, I hate being sick! Also my boyfriend lives in another city. Grrrr...

I'd have to say my friends and boyfriend! they're the one who makes me laugh and act normal! and also college, keeps me away from home/family!

Masturbation,Anime,Writing,...oh wait was I suppose to answer that, truthfully :P

Seeing others who are insane. That scares me into being sane.
