Yes, I am okay with my tears. Except when I feel I've been manipulated into them by someone whose sole purpose in life is to write books that are made into movies that make people cry. I'm looking at you, Nicholas Sparks. You should try to write one book that has a happy ending. Just to see if you can!
The crying was in full effect this weekend as it marked the opening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I knew there would be tears because the books have such a strange power over me. I cried so hard when Dumbledore died that I had to sit up in bed so I wouldn't choke on my sobs. It wasn't as bad when I saw that movie because I knew it was coming, but there were plenty of tears. This movie was just the opposite, as the death of a certain someone didn't bother me in the book, but really got to me in the movie. Maybe it's just that it's getting worse as the movies continue because I know that they are just getting closer and closer to the end. Oh Harry, I'll miss you so.
Crying for Harry Potter wasn't the end for my overactive tear ducts this weekend. Spike and I baby-sat on Saturday night and watched Toy Story 3 after the kids went to bed. We didn't watch it with them because I had heard that there was the potential for tears and didn't want the kids to wonder why I was sobbing uncontrollably. That was a smart move on my part... that movie destroyed me! I had to go home and give Fievel a big kiss!But again, I'm not ashamed by my tears! They just show that I'm an emotional person and not made of stone. If you ever see me crying, just make up some fabulous story as to why. The cause is probably fictional anyway!

I also cried like a baby during Toy Story 3 and Harry Potter. But I also cried during School of Rock and I really have trouble explaining that one.
You come by your tear ducts honestly. At Toy Story 3 I got so chocked-up I almost cried - alright I cried.
