3. OMG, how awful!
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Me. Not sure, but it was probably sometime over the holidays listening to some campy music.

10. Last night... though mine is considerably LESS weighty a reason...
My guy has to cut his beautiful long hair to get a new job. I'm really, really sad about it. I know that sounds silly, but I just LOVE his long hair.

11. When Nancy Pelosi made her speech to Congress

13. Oh, I think it was Sunday.
I will still extremely torn up over the death of my dear old cat on New Year's Day.

I could probably still work up a good sob over it, but I don't really feel like it.

I'm sorry about your brother.

18. I get weepy just listening to good music
or a good poem. But personal tragedy puts me beyond tears.

Like a switch my emotions turn off while my cold mind calculates implications, consequences, and courses of action. I did not cry at my father's funeral; a moment that my extended family remembers 30 years hence.

But later, and ever since, I remember my father with tears of sorrow, regret, and gratitude.

19. Wow, I'm sorry to hear of your loss, ohiosmith.
:hug: 25 yrs without crying is a loooong time, my friend. A good cry can be incredibly cleansing.

Last time I cried was reading this morning's paper. I'm not sobbing, but I do get teary. I also tend to cry at movies. I'm basically a real softie. I can cry at commercials. :D

20. Yesterday.
I was reading a letter from the little girl that I sponsor and it made me cry. She told me that she loves me and prays for me every morning. I never knew anyone prayed for me. She's seven years old.

21. Wow
That's something I've been a part of in a way--my brother was in a car accident 28 years ago, but wasn't killed, just suffered enough brain trauma to have him mentally and physically disabled the rest of his life.

As for crying, just last week, as a matter of fact, though I don't remember what started it. I think it had something to do with being completely useless and wondering if the rest of my life was going to be so miserable.

22. Oh, ohiosmith, that's so sad.
Last time I cried was yesterday, during a heated argument with MrSG. The tears weren't for the specific thing we were "discussing"; during the midst of it, I looked around and thought, a la Robin Williams in "Mrs. Doubtfire", "This is not my life."

:cry:

Anxiety and such was just a little too much to bear.

24. I'm Sorry That's Sad
I cry on the inside

and sometimes I cry on the outside too

I hate to cry because it always makes my head all stopped up and my eyes red.

I'd be embarrassed to say when I cried last. But it wasn't long ago. Within a week.

:blush:
