Betty....don't for a second even think I like Celine Dion...gods no....I
listen to the rest of that cd as I'm falling asleep and usually am asleep
before she starts singing....I like the instrumentals on it.....actually
the reason I guess it hit me so bad when I saw it at the theatre was cuz at
the time I was with a very abusive person....and I wanted a prince charming
so I sort of identified with Rose in the movie...cuz she was with an
abusive prick and wanted to die and then Jack appeared...and then at the
end of the movie when she dies in her sleep at like 310 years old or
something....she goes to Jack in heaven....so I was blubbering big
time...partly cuz I knew when I came out of the bathroom...the abusive
person was standing out there waiting......I'm with my prince charming now
thank goodness........hope that explains the Titanic thing a little bit
better......I'm actually not really very girlie about most things
either....  ____________________

Oh man, if we're talking about Xymox, without a doubt "A Day" gives mee
tears (but in a wierd way like it empowers mee).
The same thing happens when I watch the scene in Dune where Kyle
MacLaughlin marches into the Throne room and declares himself the Messiah.
Ditto for the end scene in "2001: A Space Odyssey."

I haven't really seen that many tear-jerking movies. I remember crying
once, but I wasn't sure what movie it was.
Videogames, on the other hand...
Every final fantasy game will probably get me crying. (FF9, the last parts
got me really tearing up, not to mention when Clerya was destroyed. Also,
Garnet's theme is a bad one when I'm listening to it on my computer, net
surfing during the wee hours. I don't listen to it anymore because it gets
me so depressed.)

Books:
alright, this is horrible, but there is a series about a bunch of gamers
that become fantasy characters, it's probably one of the most emotional
sets of books I've ever read, sssssoooooo many parts put me right on the
edge of tears
pretty much anything that's really hard to do motivated by love and
devotion will put me on edge in books
Movies:
The Neverending story, when Artex dies, damn, get's me everytime (seen it
hundreds at that)
It's a Wonderful Life, get's me in the end, when everyone saves the guy
Songs:
Decent by Fear Factory comes close (very personal reasons and it's a
phenominal song)
Trust by the Cure (more the version off of Show)
Gates of the Country by Black Lab
Waking Up Beside You by Stabbing Westward
ummm. . . I could probably list quite a few other songs *g* ____________________

This is so damn corny, but...
The only games I ever cried at where the Suikoden series. Not because I
liked the characters to any certain point, but because before they died
they each shared a revelation about a very deep philosophical point about
the meaning of war and what it means to participate in it. ____________________

I've got a few triggers. My problem is that I hold it in until it either
goes away or becomes too painful to bear any longer. When the latter
occurs, I do not cry... I wail. Low, keening sobs that wrack my entire
body until I feel bruised all over.
Music:
There are a few pieces of music that will do it to me every time without
fail. The top two that come to mind are "Pity the Child" as sung by Murray
Head (which I can not listen to from start to finish without my face
getting hot and my vison completely clouding over) and the end of "Family
Snapshot" by Peter Gabriel... you know, where the music changes and he
sings: "Come back Mom and Dad..."
Books:
This is going to sound incredibly stupid, but the very end of Ian Fleming's
"On Her Majesty's Secret Service", where James Bond is holding the body of
his wife and explaining to the Autobahn patrolman that everything is all
right is one of the most painful things I have ever read. For the same
reason, I get very taciturn when I hear Louie Armstrong's "All the Time in
the World".
Movies:
A lot of movies have moments that make me tear up, but I can not get
through "Orphans" in a sitting without having to stop and collect myself.
It makes me choke from start to finish.
Miscellaneous Stupid Things:
For the past few months, I have been hit below the belt by television
commercials for a heart care hospital. I will be watching television and
they run these things that look like public service announcements. "If you
are having a heart attack, every second counts..." and ends with " ...We
can work medical miracles." Each time I see it, I feel my face getting hot
all over again and I have to catch the howling in my throat that wants to
come out of me. The last time I was at this hospital was six months ago
when my mother died there.
When I was very young, we used to move around a lot because my father was
in the military. This meant that there were many times that we stayed the
night at roadside motels. One time, when I was six or seven years old, we
were staying at one of these motels and I got up very early in the morning
to play and investigate before we had to spend hours and hours being cooped
up in a car. Behind the motel was a small drainage ditch. I climbed down
into it and in the middle of this little ditch was a stuffed animal. It
was a dog that was very mildewed and only had a single eye left. I thought
about who might have owned the stuffed dog and how it could possibly have
come to be in a drainage ditch behind a motel in some backwater area like
that. I am not sure why, but all I could do when I thought about it was to
sit and quietly cry. I still do.
The little boy who comes running from the bus clinging to the painting that
he made that day in school that he is so excited about showing to show his
mom. Watching him trip and fall into a puddle and seeing the painting in
his hand covered in mud and rainwater and smeared and runny fingerpaint.
That always hurts me very badly.
I need to stop this now. I'll get back to it later.

Graveyard of the Fireflies... an Anime movie, always makes me cry like
crazy... when the ghost of the little girl is running around by the swing,
and then the boy dies in the train station... the whole movie is
hopelessness from beginning to end..
Round Here by the Counting Crows... if I'm in a certain mood, it makes me
cry..
Dangerous Beauty... the part where the two women are in the gondola, and
the courtesan is talking to her married friend, and the married woman tells
her she wants her daughter trained as a courtesan when she's old enough,
because "No biblical hell could ever be worse than the state of perpetual
inconsequence"

"April Skies" and some other songs by The Jesus And Mary Chain...
"1916" by Motorhead - this had got to be the best anti-war ballad ever
made, it drwns my eyes.
Also, any war films like "Saving Private Ryan" or "Stalingrad" - I just
can't stand the sight of people being killed, especially in wars...

Makes me feel like an idjit, but the simple mind's song "don't forget about
me" makes me all sniffley. Pretty much any/every book with a leaving/death
scene too... I'm a sap. *laugh*
Grave of the Fireflies, Mice and Men, country music, umm... I can't
remember the name of the movie that always gets me.. the dark crooning *is
that the right word?* songs about either suicides or parents leaving are
tear jerkers. ____________________

| I saw something on a real tv episode or an episode of caught on tape or
police videos or one of those type of video shows...it was of an older man
who was rushing his wife to the hospital because she was having a heart
attack...the policeman gave him a lecture...a speeding ticket and a warning
that he'd stop him again if he sped again...and he didn't give him an
escort or anything...the wife then died...can you imagine the horror of
hearing your husband being told he couldn't speed while you were dying
there in front of him...the older man said in a later interview that he
would have not stopped if he'd known what would happen...it was probably
her time and all...but she should have been at the hospital and her last
memory being that of her husband beside her holding her hand...not of her
husband being told bad stupid shit by a very stupid man...the police
officer didn't get fired over it...but he did get fired over some other
incident I think.......it hurts me horribly just sitting here typing
this....I can't even let the channel stay on when that video is coming on a
video show....it's so horrible.... ____________________

I didn't want to get into memories but here we are.
For a period of about a month when I was 17 I was seeing dead birds
everywhere, I won't get into the details but most of them weren't yor
standad dead birds (for example one was decapitated). I took it as some
kind of omen but I didn't know what it was supposed to mean. Then one day
my Mom came and got mee from whatever I was doing and said that a small
bird was caught in the fresh tar that had been lain on the roof earlier
that day. She wanted mee to kill it. I insisted that we take it to the
Rapter Center (but how to get it out of he tar?)
I went out to retreive it. I'll never forget it. The bird appear lifeless
at first but then I could see it's little breast pumping with fear. It had
a little black eye that seemed to disappear when it closed it. It was so
frightened. We called the Rater Center and they said to just pull it out
which we did and it lay there calmly as we tore most of it's feathers
removing it from the tar. We got it to the RC and they took it away in a
little plastic pan like a darkroom tray. We made a donation and I didn't
hear from them again.
They sent mee mail for so long asking for donations one of which was giving
hypothetical examples of birds they rescued. The first example was a bird
getting trapped in the tar of someone's roof. Then one day I got a
postcard from saying "We're sorry, we couldn't save yor House Sparrow but
we did give it care..." the entire card was priinted, mass-produced but the
word "House Sparrow" was written in with ballpoint pen.
I love nature, especially animals but I don't know how this got to mee the
way it did. I guess I feel like I was meant to save it and I failed. It's
makes mee cry just thinking about it.

Damn, that Bird in the Tar story is harsh as shit. I hate those bird
recovery places, down here there all run by incompetent hatians, who dont
care about anything but a paycheck. they dont even seem to know about
birds.
The final episodes of M*A*S*H always make me cry. Its hard to be a guy and
just start crying and sniveling when Winchester finds out his Korean band
got hit by a mortar, or that Cln.Potter can't take his hoarse with him. Why
can't he have the fucking hoarse!!!!!
oh and if anybody likes sad,sad,sad, blues music, Try the song Farewell
Blues, by Yoko Kano and the Seatbelts from the cowboy bebop soundtrack. I
know an all Japanese band doesnt sound like a likely source of American
blues music, but Kano is a god of Anime soundtracks, and can do everything.
including making a song thats tears me up like a mofo.

I was listening to "future perfect" by VNV nation today and that song
"beloved" took me totally off guard. He's got to be one of the best lyric
writers I've heard so far.
"my beloved did you know/how many times I've stopped and watched the
clouds/thinking that I saw you there/" *waaahhhhhh*
It could be about death or about two separated, but it's a BEAUTIFUL song. ____________________
