What do you guys do when you are angry?
I got into a fight with a guy that called me immature because I like The Hunger Games, Superheros and modern Fairy Tales. I found myself in my anger eating a poptart, and yes I logged it. After praying to God about a few moments and I ate one, I tossed the other away.
