The last time you were emotionally overwhelmed

[drzoidbergmd]

There's this girl (as these things often go). We've been friends for about three years. Since about day two of knowing her, she's all I ever think about. Starting around November of 2009, she admitted to me that she had similar feelings for me. The downside is that she had a boyfriend at the time. But the further and further we got into December, the more intimate our conversations became. For once I felt like I was actually gonna have a chance with her. And then she made her choice...she stayed with her boyfriend. In all honesty, I wouldn't have minded as much if she just said she loved him more than me, I'd be crushed but I could live with it. No, her exact words to me were "I just feel like I'm being unfaithful with how close we're getting and its not fair of me to lead you on when I'm sure things are going to work out with him. I would love to teach you everything I know about dating and sex and me...but this move is for my conscience." I GOT SHOT DOWN FOR A CONSCIENCE RATHER THAN ANY KIND OF EMOTIONAL FUCKING CERTAINTY! About three days later I was listening to some music and a song came on that I remembered from a dream I'd had where I was kissing her and I just fucking lost it. I was on my floor crying for 45 minutes and then I spent another two hours shambling around my house like a mental patient. Great start for 2010.

Last night actually, i've had a bad week.

The last time was 2 years ago when I went to my new school. I was in the "A" class and I was just over pressured.
I could count when Stairway to Heaven made me teary eyed the other week. That song has special significance for me.

The only movie I've ever responded to emotionally outside of laughing was "Grave of the Fireflies." Within the first 5 minutes of the movie, you hear a 5 year old girl laugh, & you grab the tissues because you know she & everyone else in that movie is going to die.

This post is going to be about all emotions, not just sadness, so the lists may seem odd.

Erm, I have a list in terms of games, no particular order though:

Spoiler: Possible spoilers

1) Lost Odyssey: Lirum's Death.
2) Eternal Sonata: Polka's death, kinda, simply because of Allegretto's reaction.
3) Bioshock: Killing Andrew Ryan, brutal, and totally AWESOME.
4) Dark Chronicle: Uncovering Griffon's past.
5) Ninety-Nine Nights: All of Dwingvatt's story.

Now my films:

Spoiler: Same again, spoilers

1) Up - It had just the right amount of sentiment to make my throat swell.
2) Avatar - The destruction of home-tree. It didn't make me cry, but my GOD!
3) Advent Children - Kadaj's death scene was quite emotional for me, poor kid. Such denial.
4) Death Note - Yeah, I know the film sucked, but when Rem saved Misa and sacrificed himself, I thought it was so totally awesome how coldly Light picked the note back up.
5) The Wave - The marching scene. Holy shit, that was some deep stuff.

My life experiences:

Spoiler: Not the same, but don't read if you don't like crap stories.

1) My Mum and Dad were arguing when I was 5 years old, I walked between them, put my hands out to keep them apart and shouted as loud as my little voice could to stop them from yelling. My Mum walked off crying and my Dad sat down on the chair looking really glum for the rest of the night.

2) Sitting with my Nan, who had a brain tumour, 1 hour before she passed away. I held her hand tightly and told her everything was going to be okay, I kissed her cheek, then I was told I had to leave, I gave her a little cuddle, and never saw her after that. I think I was about 5 then too.

3) Seeing my Grandad as pancreatic cancer wore him away. He used to be a chunky guy, loved his beer, had a bright smile. It took him over, he was skinny, he couldn't drink, but nothing could take away that smile of his. I was about 12 when this happened. He died before he could see me turn 13. My birthday was two weeks away.

4) Having an arguement with my Dad, he pushed me up against the wall by my collar, I said to him, my voice wobbling "Do you think you're big, pushing a 14 year old up against a wall?". He put me down and told me to get out of his sight. He knew he'd done wrong.

5) Walking home from band-practise in order to pick up some lyrics (I sang), I saw a guy get knocked off his bike by an idiot driver pulling out without checking the road. Me and the woman sat with the guy for half an hour, keeping him concious as people gathered around in worry. I'd never been so scared. I was dealing with human life...
