Hopeless
I am such a pathetic sap. It's amazing that I have managed to survive to adulthood without drowning in a puddle of my own Hallmark-induced tears.
It's normal for people to cry at overly dramatic movies and emotional events, I understand. I've even come to terms with the fact that I can work myself into tears in the middle of roleplaying games. But tonight, snuffling into my stitchery at the culmination of an episode of the bastion of mediocrity that is Tru Calling, I have finally realized the depths of my patheticness.
It's not entirely my fault. I'm tired, and it's been a long, emotionally arduous couple of days. And they were playing sappy music, and I think part of the tears might have just been relief and joy that they finally got at least one medical detail right. But still, this is just absurd. While I wasn't looking, someone has not only tied neon banners around my heartstrings, but I do believe they have in fact attatched little grippy handles with signs that say 'Tug Here....'
