Happy, sad, pain,
I cry all the damn time. Ads, films, poetry, anything.

I have been rather ill recently, for the past few weeks, actually, and especially prone to sillines and when Dr Who kissed the poor servant girl in the last Dr Who just before she struck the match, I lost it. Poor little non-existant fictional servant girl.

Moving house
I am quite shockingly sentimental; I had to box up all my stuff, which I found heart-wrenching, especially when I came across my old Teddy. It was just like that Hugh Dennis sketch from the Mary Whitehouse Experience. Seriously pathetic.

I'd rather get punched in the face than feel nostalgic, any day of the week. It's a horrible feeling.

Listening to Leftfield's Leftism while walking home the other day.
I suddenly realised (even mroe so than I had ever before) just how fucking brilliant Leftfield are, and I almost dropped to my knees and sobbed at the fact that they've split up and will never grace the airwaves with their beautiful tribal house ever again.

Grand Slam
When Wales won the Grand Slam last month.

I was there and there were actually a lot of Welsh men crying that day. For as long as I can remember my grandad would tell me how "he was there" when Wales beat France 16-7 in Cardiff to win our last Grand Slam in 1978. Every time we'd watch a game together he'd tell me how it had made grown men cry with joy. He'd been slowly dying for the last few years so wasn't well enough to attend games anymore but I always used to watch the matches on TV with him, even passing up ticket opportunities to be with him. You've never seen anyone get so much joy from a rugby game as my grandad. In the last couple of seasons when Wales have been absolutely woeful he would say "I'd love to see us win one more title before I go". I think he was half joking but I used to get a lump in my throat every time he'd say it. He died at new year and it was mercifully quick. He just went to sleep and never woke up again. When the final whistle went at the stadium I just burst into tears, looked up at the beautiful sunny sky and said "I hope you're watching, Granch".

I miss him.

Ongoing crap
between my wife and my mother ("why can't we all just get along...?")

When it turned out my car was well and truly knackered after it blew up on the way back from work (yeh, surprised me too...)

Any remotely sad pap on TV.

I'm a hard martial artist really.

Possibly the least dramatic of reasons to cry, but...
I went on my friends hen weekend last week. We rented a cottage in St Davids in South West Wales, and had a wonderful mixture of lots of booze and good coastal walks.

What brought a tear to my eye (in a spectacularly puny way)was truly feeling for the first time in 2 years the simple joy of good company and beautiful scenery. Having felt a bit crap for the last couple of years I hadn't realised just how dulled my senses and feelings had become. To genuinely realise how beautiful and sublime these things are was a very small but very personal revelation. I had properly 'felt' for the first time in ages, and now all my other feelings have been unlocked as well. I thought I was in love. Now I'm REALLY in love!

I cried just a little bit for being so lucky to have such wonderful people in my life, to be able to be in such beautiful surroundings, to be able to let go of some previous incidents, and a little bit for myself at the realisation that after much hard work sorting my shit out, a corner was being turned.

You may all feel free to turn away and vomit at the high cheesiness rating!

the last time i cried
was as i was giving my speech at my wedding last year.

i was fine for the first minute or so then i thank everyone for coming and for those who couldn't be with us today and my eyes started to fill as my wifes grandmother died of cancer earlier that year and my boss was killed in a car crash before that.

since then the only time a shed a tear was when i clouted my thumb with a hammer whilst doing some DIY. That fucking hurt, i can tell you.

I was recently unwell
And was quite frequently throwing up. I decided to have a nice drink of lemonade, which promptly came right back up, bubbly as well and it came right out my nose and it was sooo painful I had a little cry

Whilst watching the incredibles (don't laugh!)
The bit where they're saving Metroville from the Omnidroid and Bob says he's not strong enough to lose his wife and kids again.

It was so well voice acted and animated, it reminded me of just how much I loved my ex-girlfriend, who dumped me for no reason in October after two years, went out with another guy mid-November, and got engaged to him three weeks later. And he looks like a rat. Bitch.

Two days ago
The funeral of my favourite teacher, who I have seen every school day for the last three years. Let us listen to Led Zep in class, made appauling jokes, and told us anicdotes that could get him fired.

The band he used to be in played 'Mr. Bluesky' by the ELO at the funeral. That song sung, by a weeping singer in an otherwise silent cathedral is something else. I now cry whenever I hear it.

I can see this question turning out a lot like the black sheep one...

Never understood
that crying when you're childs born business. been there twice and didn't feel like crying either time.

Dropping your child down the stairs at six weeks old, falling with him, then managing to catch the little blighter at the bottom.... now the relief from that experience will make you cry... well I did anyway.

The birth of my daughter. As soon as I looked into her eyes I burst into tears, apologised to all the medical staff around and cried some more.

According to the staff on duty 95% of first time fathers burst into tears. Mind you... they could have just been trying to make me feel less of a twat...

Edit: It's now 15/04 and reading some of these replies makes it seem like Catharsis of the Week, rather that QotW!

last night
... with laughter though, reading the "Cyber-Sex" transcripts by 'blood ninja'. Literally could not see for the tears.

Emotional tears - that'd be last year, at the funeral of a 14 year old lad I knew. When his girlfriend got up & read a poem she'd written for him. Feel a bit choked now, actually.
