I'm a robot, these emotions are a flaw that we shall soon rectify.
But seriously, if I get pissed I play a game, that was my savior in highschool from common bullshit, go home raging because of idiots, play GTA3 for a bit and I'm good. I wound up killing over a million people but, hey I was VERY stress relieved.

I'll often deal with my negative emotions directly. If I have to think/write myself out of a state of mind (by trying to figure out why I feel this way and how to get out), I will, because I believe the wrong state of mind will attract the wrong situations, and vice versa. Once I start, it's really only a matter of time until I've reached my usual optimistic self. Of course, some things take longer to face and destroy than others. Like the breakup I had recently.
If I'm really busy while I have to face such ugly feelings, I'll probably just channel those emotions into motivation to get the work done. By the time it is done, I'll have used most of it up, and it'll just be a question of killing something very small.
Positive emotions, I just enjoy and usually let out whenever I trust someone nearby enough. Holding back these would be unhealthy, and I really don't approve of how spread the tendency to do so is in society. Apathy is nothing to be proud of.

Seriously though, in the rare event that I am troubled by something I usually sit in my room listening to music or talk with friends. Also no matter how cheesy it sounds making others happy WILL make you feel better, listening to problems (Even on MSN) and giving someone a shoulder to cry on helps me greatly.
Also cookie for the reference catch.

I have so little to be extremely emotional about, in terms of sadness. Hell, most bad things that happen to me I probably don't notice because they're not that bad. I don't get upset, and it usually goes away pretty quickly. How do I deal with my positive emotions?
Enjoy the moment.

As a mostly happy and cheerful person, I don't really need to keep them in check.
But being Bi-Polar means I do tend to have angry or depressed moments. I tend to try and keep them bottled up, if anger gets the better of me I will hit something. If depression gets the better of me I'll become reclusive and shut myself away from the world.

When I'm insecure, I seek reassurance from people I trust.
When I'm disappointed/hurt, I seek comfort from people I know are capable of this. When possible, I try to confront those that hurt or disappoint me by telling them: the least I can do is make others aware of how their behaviour influences me.
When I'm angry, I usually either drink or break things. Sometimes both. Though most of the time, a cigarette and some alone time muttering curses under my breath calms me right down.
Interesting thread, by the way.

I don't bottle them up (anymore) I found I can distract myself. If I'm annoyed or depressed I distract myself with a game, good book or play a happy song (Mr Blue Sky, never failed me yet). Because of my bad memory and short attention span it works rather well.
If none of those are available I will stare at the ceiling and use my overactive imagination to get revenge on who ever depressed/annoyed me. It makes me feel better and I'll slowly change what I was thinking about thus forgetting why I was so emotional.
Failing all of those I turn to violence, not the best idea but if they've prevented me from doing the other things then they deserve it.
Positive emotion I'm fine with, I find its harder to hide though which can suck.
