I used to never cry at all, but recently, I've found myself crying over everything. Am I depressed? Recently (starting sometime in February), I've cried because:
* I was watching Pay It Forward and I cried when you-know-what happened at the end.
* I was watching the final episode of ALF about a week ago (don't laugh, it's one of my favorite shows, and I have them all on tape) and I cried because ALF was leaving and moving to another planet.
* My friend David was moving away, so I wept when I came home, while eating a strawberry yogurt.
That's THREE crying spells!
I was called "sensitive" the other day when I told somebody this. I've never been that sensitive! Maybe I've cracked. But I better watch it when I start watching movies from now on. I'm capable to turn on like a water fountain.
Oh yeah, this past week in one of my classes, I watched "Permanent Record", an old movie with Keanu Reeves and his friend commits suicide. Ironically, his friend's name is David, and that was hard for me to watch because my friend who moved away is named David. But I didn't get too emotional.... I can control myself around people. I have will power. Yes, yes, yes.
Wow, and Sexy Celebrity, you're a guy, too, right? I'm guessing so, but I dunno. If so, that's pretty dramatic if you're saying you never really cry. It sounds like you are or have changed as a person. Maybe your line of work has an affect on you, the friends you hang around, the types of things you now do?
I dunno, but I just notice that when I hang out with nice, courteous people for extended amounts of time, it totally rubs off on me. And then I think to myself "Damnit, I can't be this soft and nice, it's disgusting"
It's only temporary for me, I can assure you
The strawberry yogurt part gave me a chuckle.
But, uh, maybe you should go work on a car while having a beer, it helps. I'm not kidding either, seriously. I like to work on cars as a hobby, and when I do, I swear I have the urge to whistle at women, shout out a grite (I think that's like a yoddle or somethin' in Spanish
) , but never the urge to cry. If you're not good at cars or have no interest, go bar hopping with some of your most raggedy, womanizing friends. This is if you just wanna get out of your emotional spell, not saying you do... Hehee, it's funny b/c I had this convo with a buddy recently. Took him out for some beers and games and now he's fine
