Ewa McGregor is in my head and he won't get out.

I keeping singing that snippit from Moulin Rouge's Elephant Love Medley over and over in my head.... (originally from Paul McCartney and that Dirty Dancing song)

what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know
cause here I go
again....
Love lifts us up where we belong....

Make it stop!

heehee. yeah, i'm a sucker for any scene in which a cute male character cries. or any passionately orchestrated death scene. i drip tears at the drop of a hat.

at least i can hold out on sobs until something really gut-wrenching comes along, like Requiem....

i just watched the series finale of buffy, season 2, in which angel 'dies,' and that tightened my throat up a bit... and i hardly ever cry. i think it was more the sacrifice of love thing than the death of a cute male. but hey, different strokes..

That was an intense episode. And the final ending where she leaves town? And Spike rising up from his chair to thwack Angel? I love this show!

I was thunderstruck. And I can still feel some of that emotion, even when I rewatch it.

Captivating, that's the word I'm looking for. Captivating

no no no....

no silly, it's a cute male crying *or* someone dying. anyone dying. especially if the near-dead is loved, or if they love, anything like that.

if i'm attatched to someone, i sit there thinking, "oh god! how horrible that would be!" if i'm not attached to someone, it's "oh god, how horrible that would be...but at least they had their time! oh!"

i'm just way, way too empathetic. it doesn't matter if a person isn't real - if they're just a fictional character - i still can't help feeling a little bit in their shoes.

i'm just silly that way.
