Just a couple of weeks ago, on the day Pope John Paul II died.
I was hanging this picture up, and I smacked my thumb with a hammer. Made me weep like a twat.

My mate leaving work
While talking to my mum and telling her that my mate was leaving work and moving away (our desks were next to each other) and thinking how crap and depressing my job would be, I started bawling like some kind of small child

The ordinary, non-special ending of final fantasy 10-2
"I PLAYED THROUGH ALL THAT GIRLY SHIT FOR THIS!?"
the ending was sad.

Killing the Boss on MGS3
The ending is so sad! :(

Also, when I listen to 'Don't let it bring you down' by Neil Young I get a bit misty. Reminds me of last september, when a good friend of the family was found dead in his house of unknown causes.(It turned out to be morbid liver damage after the autopsy) This was his favorite song, and it always makes me a bit sad when I hear it.

These bloody replies!!
I've just blubbed ridiculously reading just one page of them.

Before that, discounting all the crying I do whenever I think about the breakdown of my last relationship, I cried when Steve Staunton banged one in the other week against Brighton! Tears of joy, yes, but I cannot bear the idea of another relegation!
/and of course Johnny Cash's 'Hurt' and a couple of Bright Eyes tunes, too.

Remember the Titans
with Denzel Washington. The scene where Julius finds out Bertier is paralysed and the entire team are in the waiting room.

Reminds me of when we were 16, a mate i used to play rugby with broke his neck when a scrum collapsed, and became paralysed from the neck down. Made even more upsetting because we told the ref the other team were binding illegally and he consistantly let them away with it.

I weep every time i see Remember the Titans and always make an excuse to leave the room when that scene starts if im watching it with other people. The song over the top of it (Fire and Rain by James Taylor) produces a similar response (it was also the song playing in the waiting room when the doc thought i had testicular cancer. She was wrong - thank God)

Also get tears of rage when we play the opposition again. I hope they all burn.

Bollocks to your apologies for length.

Movie moments
Some tear-jerker movie moments for me:

Full Monty: Man - "Look at me, who wants to see that?" Wife - "I do!"

Good Will Hunting: Robin Williams repeating "It's not your fault" to Matt Damon.

Metropolis (1926): the handshake of the foreman and the capitalist

Son of Frankenstein: when the younger Dr. Frankie changes the tombstone to read "Dr. Frankenstein, maker of MEN!"

28 Days: when Sandra Bullock decides to leave her boyfriend

ET: ET dying and coming back to life

The Best Days of Our Lives: Clem, the guy with hooks for hands, shows his girlfriend how he needs help to do everyday things, and she still wants to be with him.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape: 500 pound lady - "I wasn't always like this." Really cool G/F of main character - "I wasn't always like THIS."

Many many more, movies rock!

It doesn't have to be sad crying
I wept with amusement the other day when they said on a TV science programme: "We blasted Lyndie with wind...".

I had a big old sob last night, pounding the pillows and everything
I'd been ill all day, and was feeling miles better. Wham's "Freedom" came on VH1 and it just set me off. I sobbed 'cos I was homesick, I sobbed for my gran, I sobbed because my best friend is dying of cancer, I sobbed because I have the best husband in the world ever and overall I just needed a bloody good sob!

Baby blues
I had a letter from an ex in November 03 telling me she'd just given birth. Believing her insistence on me being the biological father, I accepted the boy as my own until a year later, when a DNA test proved she was lying.

I listened to U2's Sometimes you can't make it on your own, which was released a week after I found out the truth, and wept bitterly - the song is about a son's love for his father.

Last october
it was my mum and dads 25th wedding anniversary and we were due to fly out to cyprus on the same morning. We get to the airport and get checked in and are just trying to pass the time before the flight.

Dad gets a message over the tannoy to go to the help desk, thinking its someone to wish them well he goes off to see whats going on.

Turns out it was his brother to tell us his dad had, had a massive heart attack and would die within 3 hours.

We then got another call 30 minutes later whilst we were sat waiting for the bags to be unloaded (we couldent leave them because of security) we were told he had died./

What a shitter, we all felt helpless that he had died whilst we were forced to wait for our bags.

Good thing is they managed to bring him back and hes still alive now :D

Cried over finding out he was alive agian too.

Transformers the movie
Saddest film ever, not only for the fact that half of the transformers die within the first quarter of an hour, including Optimus Prime (no 8 year old kid should have to go through watching their hero die), and then they go and give the matrix to the sodding boy racer.

I'm holding back the tears right now.

Being the evil stepfather
The most recent time I cried was a few weeks ago. Me and Setimrette (future Mrs.) decided to take her two girls, 9 and 12, out for lunch. Attitudes were marginal at best, and got worse in the car. 9 complaining that she couldn't hear the car radio, 12 turning up her CD player to drown out 9, telling her to shut up every 10 seconds and 9 just getting more insistent. Me not saying anything until... SNAP! yelling, turning the car around with crying girls all the way back home.

Much wailing and gnashing of teeth at home.

The tears came soon afterward, as I realized I will not always keep my cool with the kids. Realizing that I have a lot of my father in me (much as I love him he can be a hothead) and I am acting just like him. Wanting so much to be the perfect father that they never had (they never had a real father at all), wanting them to know they are loved and to be loved by them. Not wanting them to think of me as the cori bustard that stole mom and made them move away from their friends and yells at them without warning. Mourning the loss of the illusion that I will always be perfect with them.

Damn being human! I hate it.

Wussy family
My family surprised me last year when my parents and brother got fantastically drunk one night and we all had a long, morbid conversation about my Dad's dead father. It'll all end in tears...

I cried with laughter when my brother (25) cried at the end of "The Man who shot Liberty Valence", then he cried again explaining why he was crying...

I last cried when someone shot me with a paintball from far too close, but that was from anger as I tried to stop myself hitting them with the gun...

A few things
The end of The Green Mile... yep, me and a million others on that one.

The end of Schindler's List... ditto.

When my ex moved out of my house a couple of years ago. I wasn't upset for me, but was for her... she was leaving a home that she'd helped to create.

That bit in Love Actually when Keira Knightly is watching her wedding video and realises that her new husband's best friend is madly in love with her... not a direct reflection of my own life... but I think that it kind of means that if you take time to see the wood for the trees, you'll be surpised at what you are missing.

Also 'Bright Eyes' by Art Garfunkle (from the film of Watership Down). My father bought me the record when I was very young. I heard it on the radio whilst driving home late one night about 17 years later... had to breath deep and open a window to help clear the mist that had formed in my eyes.

When I put my contact lenses in
once every... say, 2 months they snag and if you hurt your eye is tear is bound to come out. 1 week ago it happened.

/manly response

But, if that doesn't satisfy you, the last time not counting that was probably at Christmas when I realised my brothers weren't gonna be around much anymore. This is odd for me, as there are 5 of us, I grew up with 5 of us and it's now 2. 2 are at uni, other has his own house now. Soon to be 1, but then one comes back from uni and it's back to two. Anyway, I get on really well with my brothers (and my parents) so it's a real shame.

today, by text message, for good, whilst still in work. With nothing but toilet paper to wipe the tears away with and hold the sobs in. Locked in a toilet cubicle and having to go back to your desk and pretend like nothing has happened while inside you just want to die.

On the train back to London from a party
After a spectacular argument with my boyfriend on the train platform, I followed up with muffled weeping with my head covered in my jacket. I had been drinking a lot of gin that evening. I would also like to point out that I had a bottle of beer in my hands the whole way through the argument and aftermath. Such class...
Otherwise, for a girl, I don't really cry very often. Just when the demon drink has me in it's clutches.

Note: Ok, I just saw that PETA video and I misted a bit, so I am a total girl
