Last week - I was looking at adopting a kitty, and there was this story online with a little poem and a picture. I read it and bawled. Anything with animals that suffer instantly strikes a heart-string with me.

You know, I'm not an animal person really or anything...as in, I eat meat, and I don't go out of my way to protect animals, but I agree with you completely. I cherish life and if I read a story or see an animal (particularly humanised animals, like domestic cats and dogs) suffering, I break down a lot. There was a little kitty last year sometime that came to my grandpa's house and he like fed it, and it was in nearly perfect condition, it's just its one eye was like either infected, or it had some weird birth defect, and I saw it, and it made me cry.
 
I've always been tender hearted and have had multiple stray cats come by and end up staying over the years (I've got three cats as it is now), but when animals are abused it literally makes me sick to my stomach.

That being said, the last time I cried was several years ago, when a friend I had grown up with but not seen in a few years was killed in a car accident.. She was very pretty as well a genuinely good person. It was weird, I felt like I couldn't breathe for several minutes after I heard what happened.
 
VERY emotional person here. I tend to cry once or twice a week, usually. Whether it's a movie, song, or just something personal going on, I think crying is an excellent release of energy. And I think that too many guys are embarrassed about it.

It seems to be music that makes me cry most of the time. Music is probably my number one thing in life aside from family, friends, etc. It just means so much to me and has helped me through rough times more times than I could ever count.
 
The last time I can remember crying was when I was 11. So I guess that makes it 12 years for me. There are times when I felt like crying, but I just can't do it for some reason.

This may sound odd, but I cried last November after I got home from performing in a musical because my truck was hit and they didn't leave a note or anything. I was there with a few friends and felt it starting to come up, but I just couldn't. Got home, my sister met me, and I started bawling. That was a bad night.

There are times when I get choked up but don't cry. I don't know why, but it just happens.
 
Iowa. I live about an hour away from Parkersburg. Just hard to see the photos and video (I was seven when an F4 went through my hometown, and thought I had finally worked through all of this). Did you have any damage or see this monster tornado?

(for those of you not in Iowa, this thing was a mile-wide at one point. The first video actually shows the tornado.

No, I didn't have any damage, but I know several people who did. One of the teachers I work with lived a couple houses down from the school, and her house is the only one left standing on the block. One of the people I go to church with lost their mother in the tornado.
