Fun little things you do to keep from killing yourself

[<<<<<]

Make up songs about the cats or whatever I'm doing at any particular moment.

I used to shamelessly sing made-up songs to/about my cat all the time.  Just seemed like an appropriate thing to do.

So if you have a significant other, give it a whirl.

Unfortunately, lack of significant other is one of my causes, not one of my solutions.

Something wonderful happened today that brought me a little joy.  There was a tiny package waiting for me at my doorstep.  It was addressed to my cat, and it came from Australia.  There was a sticker on the back stating that there were no meat products or derivatives inside.  For a beautiful moment, I thought my cat had ordered vegan cat treats for himself over the computer.

It turned out to be the flea preventive medicine he's on.  But there was that moment when I thought he was sentient!

Sometimes I end phone conversations with "I love you" just for the hell of it.

I used to talk to mine in an irish accent. He died without ever knowing the truth.

What keeps me from checking out? The black intoxication of betrayal.

I find that if you do a subtle little dance for the kitty at the same time, all is right in the world for just those moments. Especially if the song and dance routine ends with you giving them a kiss on the forehead.

(I wonder what my cats do to keep from killing themselves?)

I paint... things. And then occasionally sell them on ebay to justify my having done it in the first place. It's become a horrible sickness, I can't go anywhere now without seeing something that needs to be painted.

Shun me.

I leave little notes/drawings on public transit or in napkin dispensers or library books.

Actually I will really go for a jog when I really feel like killing myself.
