Midnight Movies at the Coolidge

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Sing-A-Long
Fri May 27

The return of our one-of-a-kind Sing-A-Long production of everyone's favorite monster-fighting cult TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer! We'll give you "Something to Sing About" at this special screening of Joss Whedon's classic musical episode, including goodie bags full of interactive activities (and plastic vampire teeth, of course), subtitles so you can sing-a-long with Buffy and the gang, our ringleader cast from Queer Soup (creators of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer's High School Reunion") who will guide you through the night... and bunnies! Ahhhhh!
After the singing, stick around for an ultra-rare screening of the original Buffy pilot episode, featuring a totally different Willow and vampires that turn into chalk! Buffy parties like this are popping up all over the country, but it originated here at the Coolidge in a stunning sell out show last year. Don't miss out on the fun!

At lunch today, we were talking about hating people and getting angry and so on.  I don't understand this redirecting energy thing.  If i'm angry about something, my energy is focused on that.  I usually have to write up a thorough rant before the energy really dissipates, and until i get it out of my system i have difficulty focusing on anything except what i'm angry about.  (When i get really upset about something, it's consuming.  We're not talking just annoyed here, but the kind of anger that gets talked about as a driving force.)  Anger is not a transitive property.  For me anyway.  I'm curious as to how other people operate, though.  Hence, poll.  (And by "nonfunctional" i don't necessarily mean catatonic, but have in mind more my personal experience of being consumed by it such that it's difficult to focus on anything else.)

anger

[zzrg.livejournal.com]

I am terrible when it comes to dealing with anger. As a result I have gotten pretty good at learning to let things go fairly quickly. On stuff that I have a hard time letting go of I try to channel to some degree into physical activity, ie exercise. I also find prayer and meditation useful for dealing with anger.

I develop longstanding grudges?

I know this is not a very good plan but I don't know what else to do.

Also, I complain complain complain and write and rant about it. But that doesn't actually help, except that it prevents me from actually hurting someone physically.

Singalong's not one of a kind. My friend Kelly attended one in Austin.

Since they say "Buffy parties like this are popping up all over the country, but it originated here at the Coolidge in a stunning sell out show last year." i feel like they're more trying to claim it as their creation than anything else. But yes, problematic wording.

I generally just don't deal with it, until it explodes over something really small. Then, a couple of minutes, and it's gone.

Writing it on lj usually works.

There was an incident (or there might have been two) when I hit my bed with a pillow or screamed into said pillow, but that was really bad.

These are my healthy methods of coping, anyway. Others haven't been used in quite some time. If you want to know, ask personally, but otherwise I'll just leave it at that.

Yay for healthy methods of coping. *hugs you*
