'Not all tears are an evil'...but this is getting ridiculous

[neverwhere]

I have just been listening to the Return of the King soundtrack, and could not refrain from feeling choked up the entire time. And the tears started flowing in the middle of Return of the King, and didn't stop until the end of Into the West. What the hell is wrong with me??
I can't even read the lyrics of Into the West without getting a knot in my stomach. This has got to stop.


I'm worried that although ROTK is now my favourite film ever, I will never be able to properly enjoy it without being so overwhelmed by my emotions I feel numb afterwards. I'm also rather worried that this whole crying thing is detrimental to my emotional well being. I know there are lots of reasons for why I am still so affected by ROTK: I'm incredibly unhappy with my life at the moment, and I feel such a connection to the story and characters that I am both uplifted by them and encouraged to persevere against all odds, but also plagued with self-doubt, for I fear I shall never be able to accomplish even the smallest task, nor ever have such endearing, powerful friendships to help me through my struggles. It is also Journey's End -- my life has for so long (or so it seems) revolved around these stories, I don't know what I will do now that the experience will be over. I don't want to say goodbye. I'm getting choked up even as I type, thinking of Frodo sailing into the West, and what that means for both his friends and for me.

I also think I am WAY too sensitive, and affected by fictional things. I know this to be true, and it has always been true, but it hasn't stopped me feeling this way. I think this is quite possibly the most extreme it's ever been though. And most embarrassing. *sigh*


You're all probably worrying about my sanity now. Well, join the club. :)

I don't think I'll ever stop smirking when Captain Obvious says 'A Diversion!' What makes it so hilarious is that he looks so pleased with himself when he says it, like he's both the cleverest Elf in the world, and that he just won a cookie. *giggles*

oh dear. legolas, you've won at least three cookies, if that is what your heart desires. *gives them to him. with a little bow <3*

I love the "Diversion!" line because I think it looks like he's just invented a handy new word which neatly explains the whole idea. "Diversion! That's a nifty word! And it means all I need it to mean? How handy!"

EXACTLY!
I nearly cried at that point; you should have seen me, sitting next to Carly. My eyes got really huge and I screamed a silent, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! They made him into a freaking DUMB BLOND!!!!!" My life was thereafter... sadly.... ruined. *sobs uncontrollably*

HAHA j/k.
