So...when you're bored and depressed and very much need distraction, what do you do?

I go to the Carnal Carnival, personally. For serious.

This week is insanely busy for me and isn't about to stop anytime soon, or I probably would have come.

Eat and watch NCIS

I put on makeup. Only it has to be adventurous drag queen / haute couture makeup with fabulous, vivid eye shaddow and well lined eyebrows. Not the type of makeup you go to the store in.

I do this for several reasons. 1. It's something else to focus on. 2. Arts and crafts are fun. 3. When I'm done I look at myself and feel good about what I've accomplished.

Sometimes I'll do the same thing with hair styles. I'll see if I can do a bee hive or try to put all of my hair in tiny micro braids.

As someone who's there Right Now...

I've been trying to surround myself with people as much as I can. I'll call, reach out over email or AIM, and do whatever I can to stay in constant contact with people. My biggest fault when I get down is that I tend to isolate myself and that usually perpetuates the depression. Lately I've been latching onto friends and really leaning on them to help me through and it's worked better than anything I've ever tried in the past. Maybe it could help you too?

Tonight: getting a manicure, dinner with a friend, grocery shopping.

One of my biggest issues is being so damn far from a lot of people, but there are a few that are only half an hour from me.

I usually text a friend, or I watch a favorite movie/episode of something, or I read a book. Depends on where I am and how depressed I feel, really.
