For the first time in - I honestly don't know how long, and looking at my calender to figure it out is just depressing - I have the weekend completely free. Two days, no errands I have to run, no family obligations, no socializing.... Just me and my cat and my bike and my internet connection *touch wood*.
I spend the morning lounging on my balcony finishing up a reread of The Wizard Hunters (still excellent) and my plans for this evening involve a bike ride and diving into The Avengers Comment Ficathon which needs more prompts for: Loki/Sif, Darcy/Clint, Darcy/Steve, and Pepper/Tony. Hint, hint.
On another note (a tear-jerking one) I was talking to a friend of mine about Balto (1995 animated film about a half wolf-half dog whose little-girl owner was dying of something in Nome and who had a lady-girlfriend dog with an abusive master) and how while I technically didn't cry at that film, I feel like it still belongs in the category of films I've cried at. (The other two: A.I. and The Little Princess.) And my friend was like, 'I'm more interested in films you've cried at in your twenties,' and I'm like, 'good luck. You know that I had my heart removed at thirteen.' He goes, 'yeah...' and I continue, '...and now Regina keeps it with her wall of other hearts.' Him: 'That actually makes a lot of sense.'
Which leads me to wonder: flist, what films have you cried at? I'm especially interested in the answer if, like me, you're not typically a crier at movies.
