It is the Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? meme. Make a list, post it to your journal, then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.

1) Playing with the cat.

2) Cooking. Especially if I crack open a bottle of wine to use with it, and drink half the bottle while cooking and then eating. And then I don't bother to drink the rest of the bottle until it goes to vinegar and I feel guilty about that as I pour it down the sink. :D

3) Messing about online with no real purpose.

4) Reading, especially at the moment nonfiction, often while idly worldbuilding. I like doing research about things and building up large stores of knowledge, which sort of occasionally accrete into vaguely world-shaped things in my head, and then die because I never get off my ass and do anything about it. Reading manga isn't that destressing for me because I'm now too busy analyzing the art and page structure, and if it's a good manga, I'm filled with that weird "Oh god I've got to get off my ass and do something with manga right now! I wanna do something like this! I wanna do this, as a matter of fact, and I'm stuck with [insert current project here]!" which is really unsettling.

5) Going to the bookstore. Provided I've got enough money, otherwise I go to the bookstore anyway and buy stuff and then stress about how I'm going to make it through the month. :D

Tag 5 people? Well, I know there's a lot of poeple on my friends list who don't care for such things, and a lot who find it interesting, so if you want to consider yourself tagged, you are.

:) Havne't got to yours yet; I'm going through my email, then will go trhough my accumulated /work/ email before getting to LJ today.

I like cooking. I like big, elaborate, complicated dishes and Southeast Asian cooking and making enough to feed a family of fourteen. However, I don't like doing everyday cooking. I'm up for preparing an elaborate meal about once or twice a month, and the rest of the time I nuke a potato, make nachos, or just forage in the fridge for whatever's not actually growing mold.

ahahaha... it would seem artist_luver is the culprit who tagged the person who tagged me... it's going around like some sort of virus destined to take out aspiring manga-ka's everywhere!
