What keeps you sane?

[The Heik]

Between the craziness of the world and the local crap that goes down, people go insane, go borderline, or somehow hold onto that precious thinking pattern. So Escapists, what keeps you from going batshit bonkers?

By going crazy. Nothing keeps you sane better than voluntarily going crazy? Now excuse me, I must go and have tea with Jesus and Jimmy Hendrix. Toodeloo!

Music, there is such a variety of music to go with any problem I may be having at the time. Always there, and able to put almost anyone in a good mood.

 

[Konaerix]

Easy, I'm not.

 

[Paksenarrion]

Um...keeps me sane? Hmm...I think I passed that line a couple of hundred miles back. I still act sane, which is funny, 'cause everyone around me seems to think I'm the only sane person left on the planet.

It's hilarious.

...execute Order Sixty-Six.

Moderation. Doing just a little bit of everything.
I got stuck in a really anti-social rut as summer ran down and everything was changing but I felt like I was on a treadmill doing absolutely nothing with myself useful...

then things started falling back into place. Girlfriend(-ish), job, the sun itself, parties, video games, classwork, friends, exercise, the lack of drugs cept for my debonair baccy pipe... Pretty awesome.

I feel like a supreme pile of shit when these aren't happening.

Grr... it's too late to bring out the pipe... Too tired for the hour it takes me to go through a bowl... but you know... you gotta' use the whole bowl sometimes... like now... And everytime I do it so... Meh, two and a half weeks have passed since my last one... Another day or two definitely won't hurt(in fact it will better my health but, yeah)

this may sound terribly cliche, but its the complete and utter truth. Gaming and Electronica music. That's what keeps me sane...that and my 2 closest friends.

It used to be by music, reading, and videogames. Now it is pure determination. Dont have the attention span to read (long), Im good enough at playing guitar/bass where songs are either too easy, or too hard to play, and ive practically sworn off of online multiplayer, and videogames in general

 

[Captain Epic]

Knowing that my being in a rock band will eventually get me chicks.

 

[Cazza]

Long showers.

 

[Amnesia]

Comfort in my lack of sanity keeps me sane.

Or so I think.

 

[Gordon_4_v1legacy]

I've had a few things fulfil this role.

In high school it was reading fanfiction

In college it was LAN Parties

Nowadays, its my girlfriend and Jujitsu that keeps me going.

 

[Roamin11]

The fact that I'm not, and the fact that I am in love with someone about as sane as I am.... Wait did I answer this right???

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

I've had some serious trouble in the recent past when attempting to wrap my head around the concept of existence, yes the whole concept if you can even fathom what that means, and I've found that artistic mediums help me from literally going insane. Just the thought that such complex things were created means that other intelligent beings must truly exist and that things can be accomplished, even if they are not at all relevant to the earth or the universe, that can be enjoyed. Music in particular helps me the most, or at least most often.

 

[runedeadthA]

The fact that going insane would not help my situation, Gotta stay sane to sort my problems.

 

[michael_ab]

choir, gaming, and my friends, and family in that order, and the list dosent stop there

 

[Averant]

Books, gaming, and bloody, bloody death. ^_^

Spoiler: My wonderful PC, complete with this 24 inch monitor.

Oh wait... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Spoiler: Oh well. I'm alive, and I'm having fun with life.

 

[CoverYourHead]

Eh, I've merely given up on the concept of sanity. Nihilism is quite freeing, really...

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Um...Not being tortured by the Chinese?

I don't get it. My life is pretty calm. My sanity is not really in danger at the moment.
