Random Question Wednesday

When are you apt to cry?

I am moved most by strong human emotion. Mostly by music, sometimes by a movie, sometimes leaving friends makes me tear up. I admit, I can be an emotional guy.

The song Hallelujah sung by k.d. lang, words by Leonard Cohen. This version inspires me and can bring me to tears, the meaning behind the words is what inspires me!


Also the song You Raise Me Up sung by Josh Groban. And Bring Him Home sung by Valjean in Le Miz.

I think the last movie that made me cry was The Laramie Project, that movie makes me get all weepy.

I also teared up as I was leaving my friend who was on her way for a tour of duty in Afghanistan. I think I'll be just as emotional when she finally gets home in September!

These days I cry at the drop of a hat. Even the commercials for 'Extreme Home Makeover' make me teary. I blame the weather. :-)

Yes sir, I concur on all of those issues and points of crying. I think I'm nearly continually having "my time of the month."

I tear up when I look at BBC and see pics of children suffering from the earthquake, or when girls cannot go to school in Afghan b/c they are viewed as a lesser sex....

On the positive side I cry when I think about how much I love my family and partner!

Alas I don't seem able to cry - I can not recall the last time I did so; only many times I wish I could

I love that song, and especially like k.d. lang's cover. I'd never heard her sing it.

Not crying much recently, but it fluctuates from age to age. Last time I cried was last month when I realized one of the reasons I don't like being female.

This reduced me to years many times in my younger days. I have graduated to "Bring him Home" and "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" remembering the loss of old friends to AIDS. I cannot listen to either of these without blubbering like an idiot.
