The fact that I go to a nice school, live in a nice house, have a lot of freedom, and having tons of video games keeps me sane.

Since moving back home from college, and thus significantly reducing the surrounding bullshit levels, it doesn't take much to keep me sane anymore. But I have the same answers as most, video games and music. I try not to take things too seriously anyway.

I tend to draw cartoons, silly but violent ones. If someone or something is bothering me, I can simply make a bunch of cute but psychotic characters kick the imaginary crap out of them. I guess I could just daydream it, but I feel a lot better watching their slapstick demise grow under my fingers.

currently the only thing keeping me from snapping is trying to learn how to code and draw better....

my sister i tell her my problems she tells me hers my sister also has the ability to be as cute as a 5 year old (pronouncing rs as ws when she's happy) and tough (threatening to harm me if i don't make her a sandwich) at the same time and that helps cheer me up somehow

My family, a group of very close friends, a girl that I've been close with for a while now, being able to work out my frustrations through games, and the very tenative hope that the world will get better like in the commonwealth saga books.

When all that fails being able to rant and rave at people in class debates in my american gov and politics class.

I just hope that the world dosen't get any more fucked up because then god help whoever pisses me off first.

Edit: how did I forget music? I would go absolutely insane without music.

Nothing. Sanity in my eyes is mere ignorance of reality. I'm not well adjusted at all, but I've enough masks to make me appear that way until I have amassed enough power to begin my work. I only hope to have an effect.

My freedom and prosperity in comparison with the rest of the world hang heavily about my neck; I would like others that are repressed to be free to do as they wish without pain of violence, and knowing that is not the case has kept me in a constant state of fury for years. It's like eating at a buffet while homeless families stare at you from the outside without enough money to invite them in, knowing that luck is the only reason that the roles are not reversed.

Reading allows me to keep fairly sane. Especially when you find a good book that allows you to ignore everything else for a few hours.

The only thing keeping me sane is the fact that if you KNOW that you're insane, then you cant be insane. It's lke a rule or something.

Off-Topic: Anyone want to lose their sanity real quick? Look up what it takes to be a physicist.
THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF PHYSICS DO NOT FOLLOW THE LAWS OF PHYSICS!
EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG! BLACK IS WHITE! UP IS DOWN! SHORT IS LONG!

Ahem, well, thats my insanity quota for the day, whos up for some cake?

I believe the thing that keeps me sane is the belief that you are all not real, and I.. Me; have made you up in this brain i have ben created with by my master. Through all this, I write stories about the nightly nightmares that i have about being alone, with nothing around me accept an abandoned city and creatures unheard of.. unthought of, but by me, and unnamed, but by themselves. I believe this earth and everything in it is just one big dream.. that I am in a coma, and I have been this way since i was born. I am. The smartest person in the world, I just have not woken up yet. I've made all of this up with my own imagination so that when I wake up, everyone will bow down to me. I will be their god.

Actually i kind of made that up, what really makes me sane is the stories i write :3 but thanks for reading <3

Science. Video games. Books. Energy drinks. Running. Avoiding people, women, and music.

Yes, I do live a sad existence.

Also, I am probably already insane and I have just been avoiding the symptoms, but whatever.

I've seen worse, also in physics - pretty much all currently accepted models are insane... the only thing that actually "works" in them, is the maths, everything else is a theme park of logical errors. It's like letting people build nuclear tech, who themselves have no idea why stuff works.

Still doesn't threat my sanity. It's just funny, and perhaps a bit sad. If on the other hand i'd decide to make this bullcrap my profession...... uh oh

I write fiction.
Original fiction only though. It's not always terribly inspired (and certainly never published. I have dignity.), but it helps me sort my thoughts.
