Crying

[Aprilgold]

If you realize this song you'll know why I cried.

"In the lap of a mountain. So far and wide. Down by a rivver. Love is waitin' for us. Where the leaves turn to gold. Beneath the limitless blues. In the lap of a mountain. I can't help but lovin' you."

This song was played at the very end of Buried. The movie has a very good theme of "There may be hope, but good luck making it come true."

Had my feelings messed with by a girl I had liked for a while. That upset me quite badly.

Man, I know how that feels. I'm going through that right now. I haven't cried, because that's apparently not how I deal with my emotional pain. I just get a weird and depressing feeling where I feel like I should cry, but I just don't. The same thing happened when my dad died. I think I shed one manly tear at the funeral, but that's it.

On another note, a few shows/books have gotten me close to crying, but only one of each have actually elicited tears. Namely, Chuck (the finale) got me, as well as Mockingjay (the last Hunger Games book). I think this was amplified because both romance plotlines remind me of the girl I like.

I think I last cried to watching Fight Club, as my recollection of the movie was beautiful. I had a whole epiphany of relation with the main character, and what happened, as the simplistic view of it astounded me from what could have been just a simple, mindless movie (Inspired by a book). It was the whole idea about being who you want to be instead of what you are suppressed into, as well as the idea that life is slowly ebbing away whilst we just let it happen. <- I probably would try and do something right now, but it's raining and the video games are inside.
"Nice job." Thanks, Captcha, admitting manly tears is a good thing.

The last time I cried was in March, when a tornado hit about 10 miles south of my town. Anyone (probably Americans) who heard about Henryville, Indiana getting hit, that's what I'm talking about. For everyone else, it's this tiny town that was pretty well devistated by a tornado that went right through the town. I was working at the time (I'm a DJ), so I had to do the live coverage of the storm. Sitting there while all the phone calls and details came rolling in got me pretty stessed out, and I ended up feeling pretty helpless. When I got home that night, my mom was waiting, gave me a big hug, and told me she'd been listening, and I completely lost my shit for about a minute. Not my best day.

absence of tears doesn't mean absence of emotion

when I got near the end of ME3 (and the ending) after everything that had happened and everything leading up to it...I didn't cry but I [i/]felt[/i] something in my chest, I felt raw emotion...

...yes, over a game

Hm.. good point. Thanks for the insight, and I've gotten "raw emotion" over a game before too. Nine Persons Nine Doors Nine Hours.

I cried last when I was reminiscing about my ex-fiancée. And how I always knew it was doomed from the start.

Sigh... But yeah, I often have a little weep. Not even if anything bad has happened. Just every few months or so, I just let it all out. I think it's healthy to do so.

Captcha - Van Surfing. What?

I can't really remember when I last cried. I tend to just stuff my feelings away.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

Every time I watch Liverpool lose.

I cried when Liverpool unveiled Brendan Rogers as our new manager.

I was crying by number 28. I'm impressed by and/or frightened of anybody who makes it through the whole thing without goin' a little blurry in the vision.

Serenity. I really don't need to say much more than that. But I will.

Serenity.

Well I'm an emotionally repressed Brit (we just write slightly miffed letters) so I can't remember the last time I really cried at something in my life but the last time I shed tears was several days over the past few week when seeing THE AVENGERS (5 times so far), that bit where Cap says "this might be a really great time for you to get angry"
B/H: That's my secret captain, I'm always angry"
And then Hulk HERO PUNCHES THE GIANT ALIEN SNAKE THING, AND THEN IRON MAN IS ALL LIKE, TAAAAANK MISSILE, AND THEN THE THINK BLOWS TO HELL AND ALL THE CHITARY ARE LIKE, SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT, AND LOKI'S JUST LIKE "SEND THE REST", *cough* yeah I love that part, god that film was worth the wait.

Either yesterday or the day before. I broke up with my girlfriend 5 months ago but I still miss her, and thus I cry quite often.

Things have been better

People react differently to stuff like that. I am able to see that they are powerful pictures, and sometimes a little sad, but they are nowhere near making me cry. I don't think I am particularly "cold" when it comes to feelings, but again, everyone reacts different. Some are very open about their feelings, other are not.

I'll spoiler it, as it's rather personal, long and heartbreaking, if you're one of the types that adore animals/pets.

Spoiler

May of last year a stray cat we had just taken in had kittens, 4 wonderful little things. Love at first sight. I've never seen the birth of anything in person, so of course we took the whole family in and became utterly attached.

Well, we've always had cats here, we're out in the country so we get strays coming around every few years and tend to take them in. As we've only really ever had cats that know how to survive outside, they were always good about staying safe when crossing the road and such... Well, when these kittens were old enough for it, we'd supervise them outside with their mum, they always loved it. So as they grew older, of course they always wanted to go out. We still made sure to watch them and make sure they came in before dark.

Well... In October of last year, one of the male kittens (5 months at the time), Mozi, wanted to go outside during the day... But I got this absolutely dreadful feeling after I opened the door for him. Absolutely terrible feeling, and I instantly went outside and brought him back in.

Well... that morning, someone opened the door to let the dogs out, and little Mozi... he snuck out with them.


...After searching all day for him... we found him in a ditch on the other side of the road... 5 months old... I sobbed for hours every night after that... It's been 7 months, and I still weep weekly... I can't look at his siblings without thinking about how he should be here with them.. I can't think about him without breaking into tears. I'm bawling now. I've dealt with past pets dying before, but all of them had wonderful long healthy lives... But for little Mozi just.. not to have the chance to grow up with his brother and sisters... He deserved a wonderful life.

The Last Airbender.
Season two.
Tales of Ba Sing Se.
Iro's tale.
That feel hit me hard, out of no where.
A single tear was shed.

I can't quite remember the last exact time I openly cried, but the closest I've gotten recently was a few days ago. I decided to sit down and listen to a reading of a story called "My Little Dashie", with the understanding that it was regarded as very sad.

After finishing it I realized that that was a massive understatement: it was like getting punched in the stomach with a fist made of pure melancholy. I felt as though my gut was tied up in knots for hours, and even now, after almost a week, I still feel emotional about it.

 

[Eddie the head]

The movie The Iron Giant almost made me cry. What it's sad.

I was sitting in a park with a creek running through the middle of it. There was a gang of bullies across the creek and they were harassing all the younger school kids that went by, and then I also saw couple of Robin birds land on a rock in the river and playfully drink in the creek along side each other while whistling joyful sounds. I had Laura Marling playing from my iPod while I witnessed all this.

My eyes teared up and I may have let a tear drip down my face. The reason for this is that though the world is mean and cruel because of the people I share it with, there is still so much beauty and love in this world that I would rather be in this world, rather than not being in it.

They were happy tears.

Captcha: remain calm

Watching Dobby die in HP 7 part one. I didn't actually cry but I was convinced someone was cutting onions in the room.

Earlier today when I plucked a nose hair.

Not everything needs to be emotionally powerful to get one to cry.
