Am I weird?

I LOVED The Book Thief! I lent it out, and it never returned. I now have it on my Kindle but I might have to have another hard copy.

P.S. It made me cry.

Marley and Me had me crying for a long time, I knew what was going to happen and I still couldn't take it! There have been others I cried at too, Green Mile many parts of it. The other day I was in tears over "Animal Tracks" on MSNBC. Depending on the day it doesn't take much to cry tears of sadness, joy, overwhelming sweetness. I guess if you are weird then I am too!

I don't cry, but I tend to get super wrapped up in stories and feel like the characters are "my friends"-i know weird! and then I get sad when the book or series ends. I recently read the hunger series and was so sad when I was finished with the 3rd book because I would no longer be with the characters...

Oh, sheesh. I can cry watching commercials, reading commercials, watching strangers greet each other at airports, listening to 3 bars of an emotional song... you bet I cry over books. Thank goodness my dh isn't a weeper or we'd be in puddles here.

I don't cry much over fiction, but you know what always gets me? Watching sports. I cry over cycling, marathons, gymnastics, you name it. Oh, concerts get me, too. It always surprises me when it happens.

I cry at parades. My mother used to do the same thing and we all thought she was weird, but somewhere in my 20's I started having the same reaction! The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade will do it a bit, but the local 4th of July parade on Main Street where I know half of the people? I weep (or fight off weeping) the whole time. Really mortifying. Something about the community spirit, hard work, earnest young people, and patriotism combine to just hit me that way.

And yes, books make me cry, regularly. Even kids books - On the Day You Were Born, especially - will make me cry.

I can't even listen to country radio when I'm driving, for fear that a song will come on that is just so sad I will have to pull over and bawl. It has happened.

I know better than to even start Marley & Me. It's been five years since our last dog died and it's still too soon. Heck, I cried all the way through Bolt, starting from one of the first scenes, as soon as they showed his favorite toy - a squeaky carrot, same as Measle's.

For some reason, I cry during Christmas carols, even the upbeat ones. Weird, I know. There's just something about them, and the season that makes me overly sentimental.

Good to know I'm not the only smooshy one out there ,I can't watch the pedigree dog food commercials because I cry. I've been known to cry watching Animal Planet. I cry watching live music, anything from being in church to my DD choir concerts. The older I get the easier I cry.

I dare anyone here to watch "March of the Penguins" without shedding a tear!

Crying is a good thing.
I went with friends to see "The road" which is a desperate, very hard movie to watch. I was crying sooooo bad at the end of the movie that when the lights came up I was still crying my eye's out. I had to run to the bathroom to collect myself. It was awful.
