I've been really sentimental lately and I find myself getting misty eyed over silly stuff. I've noticed there are things in my life that consistently get me a little choked up but in a good way. Like whenever I watch my niece and nephews perform in a play. I don't know why but I get a little teary. Or whenever I see the clip of Susan Lucci finally getting her damn Daytime Emmy after being nominated 19 times. I actually cry like a little bitch when I see that.

So what makes you weepy?

love.

Thinking about loved ones passing away

Feeling like a failure

Being lonely

Feeling ugly

...oh wait, are we talking about 'happy tears'?

Any type of tears will do. But I was thinking more of the "unexplained" tears. Like when you cry and you don't know why.

Seeing my mom open gifts that I buy for her.

When Im sick and my little brother takes care of me



Children. When they're extremely happy and when they are sad.

when i dont have contacts in, chopping onions usually does it for me.

OMG, me too. I never realized what a barrier those are until I had to start wearing my glasses more. Everyone thinks I'm nuts when I tell them that. They think my eyes should be more irritated with them in.

The Color Purple
Eve's Bayou
Meet Joe Black when Joe and that girl (i forget her name) make love for the first time.

When my little nephews say my name in that litlle baby-ish way and say "I love you"!

etc....

Whenever I'm peeling an orange & a little of the juice sprays into my eyes.

Oh, well then I'll add...

Seeing older couples out together (on dates so cute!)
being in the woods on a beautiful day
happy endings in movies
long (but not creepy long) hugs

I get teary eyed just thinking about the part where Celi & Nettie are separated.

thekidsgirl said:

That one's always conflicting for me because at first I'm all awww and then I get a little depressed and then I get all bitter. It's a whirlwind of emotions for me.

JuliePurplehead said:

Why depressed? They are alive, happy, and still in love
Thats beautiful!

I'm just a little envious of them.

JuliePurplehead said:

oh ok, I can understand that

Thanks! I didn't mean to be the dark cloud on this thread

My 9-year old friend Nicolas. The young man has adopted me as an older brother and I just sit and kick it with him every month or so. He's a wonderful kid and makes me realise just what a great father I'd make. Upon meeting me for the first time, he went home and excitedly told his mom, "I've never met anyone like Jason!"



I also mist up at the "Wise Up" montage in "Magnolia." Every time.

thekidsgirl said:

you're not



missing someone makes me misty eyed

thinking of my Nana around the holidays

old ppl in love

my son's trying so hard to please me

etc.....

not many things can make me weepy, but....






'the iron giant' gets me every time.

thekidsgirl said:

Same for me.

what gets meis when Suge Avery bursts into her daddy's church singing 'God is Trying to Tell You Something.'

alwayslate said:

Oh, me too. Hey, maybe you know. Is the young girl singing in the choir supposed to be Suge's daughter? I always assumed she was but there's not really a confirmation in the movie.

Grate some horseradish, that will have the tears running

Wow! I think just about everything gets me misty eyed! I think that's just the kind of person I am!

Example...the first time I saw a real life Van Gogh painting in person..I cried like a baby!

I remeber my ex playing tiny tim in a scrooge production in vienna some yrs ago, and at the end of it, i was sitting there with tears completely welled in my eyes and a massive lump in my throat, her family were all there, so i had to try hide it, but i have never understood why it had me almost in tears.

Although "cool runnings" almost had me in that state as well
