-Breath deeply.
-Calm myself down with humor and my favorite music.
-Vent the remaining anger on unlucky enemy players on Team Fortress 2.

swearing and going off to slaughter people in video games. if video games are inaccessible, I put on my headphones and pretend I'm deeply interested in what is going on

when I was yonger I would tend to break things, hitting a pillow would just make me more angry because it would just absorb my punches and it was like "haha! you can't hurt me! I'm a pillow!!"

I download some character skins on Garry's mod from a few anime shows, and kill the SHIT out of them.

And while Miku might not be from a show, she got her fair share of hot, vengeful lead.

Well, I used to play fighting games for the testosterone release, so I could just get over it... the only problem being that I'm terrible at them, which didn't help my situation at all(same with Dawn of War). If I really couldn't bottle it up or was alone and didn't have to, I'd probably just yell various swears until it was managable again.

Alternatively, play any game where I can design something. Choosing colour schemes and selecting skills or building around a theme really takes the edge off. Even better if I can then use whatever character or army scheme I've made and kill things with it. Hehehehehe...

I get really, really quiet - and kind of retire into myself.

Then I write a big long letter about how angry I am and what caused it, until I feel it's out of my system or I've exhausted my anger with it.

I then light the letter it on fire in the fireplace, or shred it; and I generally feel a lot better after that.

I don't deal with it. There is no way to deal with it. It is just there forever, whether I bottle it up or let it flow like the boiling river of hatred it is.

I like to pretend that being eighteen totally makes me an adult and therefor excludes me from the "angsty" label.
I am wrong but playing pretend is fun.

I'll let you know what I do when it happens. I have a very long fuse and can't say I've ever been actually angry.

Whenever I get fustrated though I swear alot and hit whatever I'm closest to and if it's because of something someone's done I'll ***** about them for hours to whoever will listen.

Play video games, read, watch a DVD, or go to knowyourmeme.com or Newgrounds (or the Escapist, of course). Usually cheers me right up, or makes me forget what I was angry about.

I get my SCA-legal rattan sword, and use my pell pole... or I go to work, and rip roof. Either is really quite therapeutic.

Climb things, punch things, yell at things, and unleash a torrent of new and creative swear words.

I actually have a tall tree stump in my backyard that I refer to as my "Anger Stump". Whenever I get really pissed at something, I take a hachet, or really big stick and unleash my fury on it until I'm calm, or can't move my arms anymore.

I hope that doesnt sound as psychotic as I think it does.

That greatly depends on what made me angry. Extemporaneous profanity is my typical reaction to video-game bullcrap, but explosive outbursts of rage triggered by human interaction? Not so much.
