out of any kind of feeling whatsoever

― V, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am an appalling cry-baby. I cry at anything and everything. I cried in the Harry Potter book when he saw his parents reflected in the mirror of Erised. I cry at some adverts too - like that one with the unloved mobile phone.

Most recently, I managed to embarrass myself in front of my six year old god-daughter by crying in Monsters Inc (the bit where Sully takes Babyboo back home). The six year old gave me a good telling off for that, and pointed out to me in an exasperated tone that it was only a cartoon.

*sniffle*

July 1994, when my dog died :(

last night

― Ms. S., Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

so that mean you havent shed a single tear in 8 years?

cj: aww, but at least she is mature!

― V, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

2 weeks ago.

― Norman Phay, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Not full-on for some years, which is a bit worrying: perhaps it's all down to newfound "maturity" and "perspective" but an ever-flatter affect can't be all good. On the other hand I'm continually getting choked-up and weepy about stranger and stranger things: Terms of Endearment obviously, but then a wireless commercial? The New York Times? A parked car?

― nabisco, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Last time was probably a month or two ago, the first time I heard "Saturday Night" off the Langley Schools Music Project Album.

I blubbed (like a baby) during the song Joan Cusack's character sings in Toy Story 2, and again the second time I saw it, despite the fact that it was on a screen only a foot wide on an airplane. I think I may have caused some worry to the staff.

I used to be able to induce melancholy, and occasionally tears, by remembering the end of To Live.

― Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i have probably cried once or twice about movies in the past couple of years (i do remember having lots of tears over the second time i saw "the rapture" but that was long ago (93??) The last "real" tears were probably when travelling to Israel in summer 2000

― Ron, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

3 years ago when i thought i had failed an exam (I did well in it)...the pressure just got to me. stupid really.

― Julio Desouza, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i cried heaps a few weeks ago cos i thought all my friends hated me.

― di, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

this afternoon. i cry all the time, when i'm sad or frustrated or have a strong negative feeling at all.

― Maria, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

today. I usually cry on workdays cause I hate my job. I either cry or vomit...

― brg30, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A week and a half ago, when I had just gotten news that a client was less than happy with the job I'd done, plus I was worrying about not having a new assignment lined up, plus my nerves were frayed because it was so hot and humid.

― j.lu, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

back to every day now, for the past almost-month.

― halo halo, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Two nights ago at the end of the men's 1200 m final. It was a very moving moment.

― toraneko, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ned raggett *cries* a lot ;-)

― di, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i think ned avoids the questions i ask now

― V, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

anyway i nearly cried whilst watchin tv a few days ago but i forget what it was

― V, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Last time I cried was at a funeral June 2001, but have gotten choked- up quite a bit - post-midnight/Metropolis/Murakami on Saturday. All clotted up with emotions, heh.

― Ess Kay, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't conceive of (me) not crying for an entire year.
guess the percentage of how much I am "blaming" you being thus so different on your maleness, then . . .

― halo halo, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I cried two weeks ago when my Mom was hospitalized. She had been having mini strokes and they had affected her speech, and parallized her right side. She is somewhat better now and I am grateful.

― Gale, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

aww gale, i'm glad she's better now! i also cry at everything, but more so when i am run down and tired. i had a few tears during the harry potter film we watched at the weekend (the mirror of Erised thing again - CJ mind meld!!) also when buffy told spike that she thought she was in heaven before the scoobies resurrected her. also when i had an argument with aubrey. god i am such a gurl!

― katie, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i cried at the harry potter bit (i hid it from my girlfriend at the time)

i cried when my girlfriend bought me some expensive trainers i'd been wittering on about completely out of the blue

i cried last monday because i didnt get an interview at a record shop (it was a job i was over-qualified to do, i would have come down massively in pay but i really wanted to do it - stupid frustration s'pose)

― born clippy, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I cry quite alot for various reasons. The last time was last night, which was kinda strange as I am at the most happiest point in my life so far (just moved in with my boyfriend)!! I couldn't really explain why I was upset, I think I was just feeling particularly down on myself. Luckily the b/f was on hand to supply big hugs & more wine!

― Pinkpanther, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Can I just send best wishes for a speedy recovery to Gale's Mum?

((hugs))

― C J, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I just find it physically impossible to cry. I can be sad and all that, but not to the point of tears.

anyway, best wishes to everyone who is going through difficult times! :)

― jel --, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

2 weeks ago when my company announced 10-15% lay-offs, and i thought of the house my boyfriend and i have put a deposit on, but not got the mortgage cheque for yet. i think it was mostly the shock of uncertainty that made me cry.

― angela, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Probably a couple of days ago. I know I certainly cried on Saturday. I will cry at lots of things too. For crying out loud, I cried a bit in STAR TREK: GENERATIONS (due to its damn awfulness ha ha - ok actually it was when the ship crashed and they were all faced with their mortality and DEFF) for petes sake. I didn't cry at the Harry Potter moment although I do share with CJ the sadness at the Crap- phone Warehouse (see what I did?) ad with the sad mobiles. Bastards.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

very sorry to hear that Gale, but glad that she's doing better

― V, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

even though i like living in london i always cry when I come back having been home. little tears walking between departures and plane, then get myself together, then get home and feel sad.

i stood on a drinking glass and broke it on my foot on monday. i was weeping into a bath full o blood because boyfy was running about looking for something to swathe the wound in and i wanted him to go and eat his dinner. it all seemed v poignant.

― nickie, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I last cried last week because I was having a horrible time at university and I'd just missed a lecture. So I went and sat at a fountain and cried a little then read a book while fighting back tears. I felt like a big girl. Also like a complete mess.

― Elisabeth, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh I also managed to cry on a train between Sheffield and Manchester because I MISSED IT ALL SO MUCH waaah boo sob ect ect (blimey I fancy a holiday in t'lakes).

― Sarah, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think I might have cried on Friday when Kate won Big Brother. FOR SHAME! Generally I don't proper cry very much except when I have PMT and then EVERYTHING makes me bawl. I think it keeps me healthy though. Can't imagine going a year, or even a month, without the release of tears.

― Archel, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

When Niles finally told Daphne that he loved her.

― Andrew L, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I cried during Crossroads when Britney and her mate cuddled in the hospital (actually it was because I'd had a horrible argument the night before), and I cried for several hours after a horrible early-morning non-argument, which was only stopped by me having to go out and post a video to Sarah.

The last time? I'd better not answer that.

― Graham, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Watching Spider-Man last Sunday.

― N., Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Last November, after some unpleasant relationship events.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Monday, thanks to heat, my computer not working, and various other things.

― rosemary, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A week last Tuesday, having had sudden fear I was doing the wrong wrong thing career wise. Stood outside office building sobbing whilst my poor editor patted me vaguely and moaned "Why do all the female staff cry on me? I don't know what to do."

― Anna, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

when we had to put my cat down on friday :(

― minna, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Aw, Minna, that's awful. :-( My best for you and indeed everyone stuck with worries and bad things. *hugs all around*

ned raggett *cries* a lot ;-)

But I do it with panache. ;-)

i think ned avoids the questions i ask now

No, it's just that I couldn't honestly think of the last time I cried within the past year or so. A couple of instances tearing up slightly, but that's about it. I don't know whether that makes me happy or unfeeling. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned, if we all shout at you for being unfeeling for long enough, will you break down and cry like a (panache-ful) baby?

― Archel, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*sniff* If you feel it's necessary. *bawls*

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Haha Ned's CRYING. Let's poke him with sticks!

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*weeps even more* I see, I see how I rate...

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I like the idea that you can cry for being unfeeling. It's like that Simpsons joke where the lamb wants a sin to confess but has none. But he has the sin of envy! Everyone has a reason to confess (or cry)! Personally, I haven't cried in a while which I hope is not due to unfeelingness.

― Vinnie, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Early this year. My wife of 23 years moved out last August. There was a pretence at friendliness for a while, then in January she turned very nasty in a way that showed that lots of things since the split had been very calculated and dishonest. Ending the regard I still had for her was probably good for me in the long term, but I was astonishingly miserable for a while.

― Martin Skidmore, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

actually i have cried since then. over the weekend i cried quite a bit: on my way to the supermarket after seeing al galbraith play and comforting a friend. also crying in computer labs while typing emotional e-mails.

― di, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks for all the well wishes on my Mom's behalf. She's very dear to me. I do know though that she is in for a major stroke and may not have her for a long time. We are making this time our quality time. A wish for all of you from us. We wish you all the best with many happy times ahead for everyone here. Hugggggs.

― Gale, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I wouldn't care how hungry he was, if I'm injured and my boyfriend is there, helping me is the priority!!!

― halo halo, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Five minutes ago. I have been under a huge amount of stress lately.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I cried at the end of a swimming race (on the telly) but I'm not sure which one it was. Races make me cry.

― toraneko, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I really don't cry very often, but I just earlier today Smog's "Dress Sexy at my Funeral" pulled the shameful act out of me. Of course I immed. thought "oh now I must go post to the 'when was the last time u cried?' thread!".

― Dan I., Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i almost cried watching buffy last night. willow/tara breakup is HORRIBLE!!

― di, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

thE LAST TIME I CRIED WAS WHEN SOMEONE THREW AN ONION AT ME AND MISSED. IT WAS A LITTLE GIRL AND SHE WAS MAKING FUN OF ME WITH HER FRIENDS. I SAW THE ONION WHIZZ PAST MY FACE AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND TO SEE WHO HAD THROWN IT I WAS JUST IN TIME TO SEE THE GIRL GET HIT BY A TRUCK.....I CRIED AND THEN SOMEONE ELSE THRE AND ONION... I AM SO GLAD THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME IN THE WORLD.... PLEASE WRITE BACK

― Elmo, Queen of the NAUGHTY muppets, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dan I: see I created this thread for that reason - and I just knew it would come in handy for you!

It's interesting, that unfeeling aspect to emotion.Is "unfeelingness" (to put it better, detachment) an emotion in itself? I couldn't feel anything the last half of 1997, all of 1998, the first few months of '99. I cried during that time - but even then I knew I wasn't really crying since I wasn't really *feeling,* they were just crocidile tears. I was so emotionally blocked on so many different levels. When I finally did cry with real feeling again (prompted by that Maria McKee song on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, shut UP) it was overwhelming, after 21 some months of unfeelingness. The dam broke, releasing torrents of emotion; it was simultaneously the saddest and most relieved I've ever felt.

― V, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I very nearly blubbed when the English Womens 4 x 100 metres team got bronze in the relay last night. Not because they should have won gold but because... I don't know, they looked so happy and girlish and sort of like Motown girls. They looked proud and gawky and awkward at the medal ceremony and were nudging each other and I just thought how magical it is for them to win a medal together, and to be young and be able to run so fast and to look great. I'm filling up again...

― Dr. C, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have a nasty feeling that I will cry a lot tomorrow when I hear that I haven't got the job I was just interviewed for.

― Pessimist, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

waaah!! buffy spoilers!! NOOOOO!! *tears -> tantrums -> bed*

(bed mmmmmmm bed)

― mark s, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

buffy spoilers are so so annoying - i'd managed to avoid any spoilers for season 6 until after i'd got the whole series on video, at which point i bought the radio times for the first time in ten years and was rewarded by having the end of the series given away. bastards.

(last time i cried was this morning grr)

(episodes of buffy that made me cry: the one where her mum died. the one where she died (the bit that made me cry was the bit before the opening credits, weirdly enough), and most of all the prom episode. i don't know anyone who's seen the prom episode without crying).

― toby, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I bet I wouldn't cry at any episode of Buffy. The only TV shows that could even possibly make me cry are ones where robots get killed.

― jel --, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh yeah the prom episode made me cry too. sorry for spoiling everyone. now i feel sad!

poor toby *hug*

― katie, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Robots get killed in Buffy!

― RickyT, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

actually yes! ***SPOLERS*** on at least 2 occasions! ***END OF SPOILERS***

― katie, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well then I would be sad for the robots. But not when they are robots disguised as famous hollywood actors.

― jel --, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The one with the robo-buffy (I'm afraid to say more for fear of making Mark S. blub, but you guys know the one I am talking about, w/the bikers) made me cry a little bit. I cry at the drop of a hat, though.

― Nicole, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ha jel, you would blub. like a GURL.

― katie, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There's a song by The Pines - I think it's called High Street - written from the point of view of parents who are hoping their kid can make it home for Christmas. I can barely think of the lyric without filling up and last summer, when I thought I was very seriously ill, it made me blub for a whole afternoon.

― Tim, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(on the other hand there is def a reasonable argument that as series 6 was on US tv nearly a year ago, expecting to avoid finding out what happens in it is pretty unrealistic/unreasonable. for series 7 i intend to get broadband and just download them, so i'll only have to avoid spoilers for hours instead of months)

also don't worry about me - i am ignoring househunting at the mo = i am happy. especially as i have some nice shiny new equations to play with hurrahhurrah!

― toby, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I cry at the drop of a hat, though.

*drops hat* Oops. Sorry, Nicole.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Bring on yr Buffy! I can take it! ha!

― jel --, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*drops hat* Oops. Sorry, Nicole.

Just imagine the pain that hat is going through -- I'm sobbing!

Are you happy now, you heartless bastard?

― Nicole, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yesterday for nigh on an hour.

― anthony, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

So far, I've already cried twice today and I have the feeling it's going to get worse.

― jamesmichaelward, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Are you happy now, you heartless bastard?

Dan revels in his evil. It is his defining mode of existence. As I should know, sharing this mode with him. Thus this picture of my soul as shared on the 'My Life' thread:

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There's a German singer, Reinhard Mey, whose songs make my wife cry all the time. I generally tend to smile with superior benevolence when she does, thinking myself immune to the power of schlock -- but then last week, I heard the song "Weißt Du noch, Etienne?" from his new record, which starts out as a fond memory of Mey's year as an exchange student in France and the boy in his host family who became his best friend -- and then, out of nowhere, Etienne gets killed, and Mey is sixty, drunk, and drinking to his friend who never got to be more than thirteen. Shit, I'm almost tearing up now thinking about the song. I curse you, Reinhard Mey.

― Colin Meeder, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually, the last time I cried was yesterday when I was reading old ILX threads. They were tears of laughter, though.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have that same feeling, Mr. Perry (and indeed, I was doing the same thing yesterday as well). We shall have to weep together.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm better at this than all y'all. I'm such a cryer.

In order of things which make me cry:

Personal Reasons - 4 Days Ago.

TV - Jade's Eviction (for some reason) (?!)

Fillim - Ratcatcher

Book - Never.

Music - Blue Nile "Over The Hilltop" - whenever I wrote my Blue Nile post ie two days before Marcello wrote his Blue Nile post cos I know y'all don't read my f'in page.

― david h(0wie), Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tim = OTM re The Pines. Following 'Say It Isn't So' with 'Satellites' finished me off in the car one day. Despite being very happy, on a wonderfully sunny day, the combination of Joe's lovely tune & Pam's beautiful voice had me blubbing like a GURL.

― David, Thursday, 1 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Everyone's gonna think I'm such a wuss now. I am such a wuss. Aren't I? They are, man, I know it.
