Hmm. I found a very cathartic thing to do once with an ex-bf.
I made a paper doll of him. I exaggerated a lot of his features. Especially the feature he liked to use to make most of his decisions with.
Then I put all kinds of uncomfortable clothes on him, dressed up his little paper doll like Bart Simpson going to church on Easter Sunday. Then I made his paper doll do all kinds of dumb things that my ex would have HATED doing. And then I kind of did a voodoo doll on him, and eventually ended up with few curls of carbon and a pulpy mess in the blender.
I was really mad when I started, but by the end, I just felt SO silly and so relaxed. It was a good time for all. (except for the paper effigy). Actually I had to make a couple of paper effigies, as I felt many confused and conflicted feelings. so... *cheers* to the paper doll :)
