Crying like a sissy bitch
I'm in the final year of uni and its bollocks, I'm not drinking or smoking heavily any more and the fun just seems to have dribbled out of my life!
It ll peaked after Christmas when i got my first semester grades back to find they were my worst ever, despite working my arse off!
I realied I couldn't get my 2.1 any more so I started blubing away! Bless, I'm so fragile!
Now I've got two weeks to write my dissertation and two other assignments, so I'm guessing there's plenty more tears to come! Yay me!
Oh, I also always well up when I watch the lion king and its the it where Simbas dad dies, its beutifuly tragic, just like a little goth kid...

Number Johnny Five getting kicked to death
by hispanic hoodlums (great streotyping, hollywood!) in Short Circuit 2.

He was dying! Boo hoo.

But huzzah! in the end, he was resurrected by the indian guy with the singing calculator.

I was 11 at the time...

Seriously,
I spoke to a girl a couple of weeks ago. Her sheer beauty from her personality made me shed a tear.

She was lovely looking too.

Breakup song..
Just so you know by american head charge.. odd choice to make you cry i know, but it came on in a club after me and my ex-fiance broke up.. i heard the words and all of a sudden realised it said everything id been trying to, now everytime i hear it i remember how great a relationship was.

on a lighter note, seeing an advert for cosmetic surgery live show a penis cut open.. scarred me for life the twisted fucks

I cry a little inside every day
not really


The last time i cried was after spraining my ankle after a night of drinking (went to see high contrast).

I woke up having been sleeping on it awkwardly, and needing to be sick.
After hobbling to the loo (i made it in time) and being horribly ill, with my ankle swollen to the size of a golf ball on the side, (literally) i cried for a bit. It was damned uncomfortable.

Hospitals
Stuck a (sterile non-AIDS-infested) syringe clean through my thumb - with 2 cm of it poking out on the other side. My supervisor was pissing himself laughing for hours, as was everyone else in the immediate area.

Im fairly sure the tears were from the pain - i was quite manly about it until a nurse offered to clean and plaster the hole i made for me :)

Last time i cried began on December the 8th, 2004
and went on for quite a while. I was having a good day at the start, when i got a phonecall off one of my friends. (Not knowing what musical tastes you all have, i don't know how this would have affected you) he told me that Dimebag Darrel, Brutal Axeman from Pantera/damageplan, had been shot dead in a show in ohio the night before. I refused to believe at first. He was only 38, he inspired me to play, i never got to see him, and now i never can. My heart goes out to him, the others that lost their lives at that gig, and to his brother Vinnie Paul, who had to sit there and watch his brother get shot 5 times in the chest at point blank range.

I cried non stop for hours, and still cry when i hear certain pantera songs

Dimebag Darrell 1966-2004

Downfall
I have to say i welled up towards the end of this film. Im not sure if i had it right though, there was a tall chap infront of me so i missed the middle 2 words of every subtitle.

Also, nearly burnt my face off with hair straightners this morning.

And now for something completely different.
The last time I *actually* ever cried was when I was 12. I've been emotionally crippled ever since this incident. When I was 12 I had a dog that I'd had for a very long time. A very lovely Cavalier King Charles' Spaniel called Matilda whom I loved very much. I was playing out the front with her one day when she ran onto the road, chasing a car, dodged it but went smack into the front of another incoming car. The car hit her and she completely buckled under the weight... the cunt driving the car slowed down gave me the finger and drove off. I ran into the road and picked up her limp body feeling her slowly dying in my hands as I ran to the front door of my house... I ran inside and impotently called the vet (this was at 6am on a sunday, so no dice) screaming at the answering machine down the end of the line. I looked down at my dog lying beside the phone in a contorted twisted shape and saw the life fade from her eyes. I sobbed constantly for 8 hours there, my head on her body. I loved her and some pompous wanker in a 4WD had the temerity to take her away from me. That was the last time I cried. Except for now.

Kitten murder
this wasn't the last time but it was the most dramatic, in that i was sitting in the street and just sobbed for an hour following a phone call from my parents.

Apparently my cat Mr Blonde (who was only a year old) had gone missing for a few days - he had never been gone more than a few hours before. Anyway, apparently he returned home, meowing pathetically and with a footprint-shaped dent in his side, bloody and with maggots everywhere. Some fucker had stamped on him.

He died literally within 5 minutes of making it home. Which meant that for 3 days he was suffering but he still needed to be home before he died.

I would be happy to go to jail for murder if I ever found out which cunt did it.

I'm normally pretty good, but...
Two months ago, my step-dad died after an incredibly long illness, and during the arrangements for the funeral the inevitable arguments between step-family and my blood-family started to occur.

During a particular debate a question was raised, and everyone stopped to look to me for an answer. It was then I realised that, at 24, I was the oldest male present and it was now my responsibility to look after the well-being of my entire family.

At the funeral, I stood at the front pew holding my mum and sisters as they cried their eyes out, whilst I held back with everything I had. Since then, I've been through my mum's finances to make sure she can support herself and I've been to Suffolk to house-hunt so she can start her life again. I still need to speak to my Nan regarding adjusting her will and help arrange a house-sale for all the stuff she doesn’t need any more.

Every now and again I cry when I get thinking about things, but never in front of my family.

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo of a compass put on my back - in remembrance and hopefully inspiration for keeping myself and my family heading in the right direction.

It's less about being a girl and more about being a nerd...
My mother came into the living room one night to find my brother and I absolutely bawling our eyes out over Godzilla 1985. It was the slow-motion fall into the lava pit spliced with the shots o the scientists crying that got us.

"Oh Mom!" we bawled. "Godzilla's dead!"

And she laughed at us. So it still tears me up when I watch it now.

more of a lump
*Selfish, poor-bugger-me crying*
The other night I was out at a club and saw the man whose babies I'm supposed to have... holding hands with his girlfriend. I actually knew he had a girlfriend, but seeing him holding hands with her like that had me holding back angry, pointless tears. (He doesn't even know I Like him.)

*Taking On The Sufferings of Humanity crying*
Reading the opening chapters of the 9-11 report. I defy you to read the transcripts of the airline hostess' and passengers' contact with the ground without bawling. Even if you do hate Americans and go around wearing a Che t-shirt, you rebellious, anti-establishment scenester you.

Just an undergrad
I was invited to one of my professor's group meetings today, and it was very exciting for me, since I just started working for him, and I'm only a college freshman. It was a lunch-ish meeting, and I had already eaten, but I was taking a sip out of my water bottle and accidentally managed to swallow it the wrong way. Tears came to my eyes as I started choking and trying not to make a scene. It didn't really work, since everyone was looking. I was trying not to breathe, even though I couldn't breathe anyway. My professor asked me what was so funny. When I didn't respond (since I couldn't freaking breathe), he sort of waved me away and explained to the group that I was an undergraduate.

When I did finally manage to control my choking, I think I kept crying a little bit. He's a great professor and I really respect him, it just kind of makes me feel very young. Not my fault you only work with grad students. I would magically be five years older if I could.

Oddly enough, this was my second OMG I'm gonna die moment with this professor. First time I was walking to his house for another meeting, and managed to trip and fall on my face in the middle of a busy road.

edit-string; For those of you saying, "Hey knarly cool post and all, but the wanker just skated by without laying out even a litlle piece of his life and what makes a bugger tick!" ...and I know you're saying that!

Please allow me to share the last thing that made me cry. Now to look at me, you'ld say, "Where's yer Harley bro?" or "Dude, saw ya on the WWF last night, you ROCKED!" The point being, I have the appearance of a manly man. Awnold is a wuss! So, tears don't come easy and when they do come... they frickin mean something... understand?! Right o then...

hmmm, let's see, the last time I cried was February 21st. My step father calls from NY to say my Mom had passed away... then the prick goes on to tell me how I was a lousy son who never stayed in touch (little did he know- I have the email to prove it!) with her. Threatens to kick my ass and it was at that point on the phone that I allowed him to push my buttons and I whoooped off the foulest angriest verbal attack ever recorded on an FBI stakeout.

I cried after that... it sucked!

Tears of the Sun
Yeah, I know it's a Bruce Willis film but believe it or not my mother was there at the time and saw and was witness to things that still haunt her. She was 23 at the time so couldn't really do much about it. Anyway, the scene were they cut the womans breasts off so she's unable to feed her new born son still brings a lump to my throat. That doesn't make me cry though.

I have to change my answer now.
Goddammit, colinbatesuk. At least two-thirds of the people reading this qotw are thinking about their recently dead pets.

And now I don't know if I'm laughing so hard at the site setimret linked to because it's genuinely the funniest thing I have ever read, or I'm just emotionally vulnerable.

like a big fat girl
my girlfriend's greek but she studies at uni in england, which is where i met her, a month ago i said goodbye to her before she went home for easter and i cried like a bitch.
will be seeing her on sunday :) *dances*

cry at flims and tv a lot too, can't think of anything specific now, usual stuff though, dumbo always gets me, when he goes to see his mum, hollyoaks when the mad kid said bye to his dead mum, anything with loved ones dying or leaving or going senile, just loss generally

conversely i've lost loved ones in real life and not cried at all
next time someone i care about dies i'm gonna play some sad piano music
