Crying - yes or no?

It's a shame. The one drawback of being full of testosterone and semen...

On another note, Asuka, how long are you planning on having that garish Chiyo avatar? Talk about an eyesore...

The bitterness is strong in this one. Been burnt by the (male) force she has. A thick hard C...aaaandy bar needs.. Stop speaking like Yoda must I.

Aye, me too. Ive had my fair share of Blackwidows, but I dont go around accusing other woman of being a spider, unless ofcourse, they are indeed that.

I can feel genuine sadness.. Hell I even have affection.. And sometimes im even abit of a cry baby, despite all this semen and testosterone.

(PS: Not a spider..Bordline PD woman YUCK!).

I am not an overly expressive person, people have commented on my stoicism before >_> but when I was rather little I was quite the crybaby >.>;;;;;;;

I gotta say I am offended by that comment too, but I don't think we should let this thread turn into a flame war of sorts =x.

I am pretty sure you could download the image, host it on imageshack or something and resize it. I have been itching to change my avatar but I am too indecisive about what to change it to.

Asuka wrote:Great it worked....and its bigger and even more "garish" than before.Lol!

Heh, glad it worked. Although I suppose that last part is open to opinion. I have never been one to see anime as overly gaudy, however, so I am not sure if it qualifies as garish. I still need to think of something to change my avatar to >.<; Anyone have any ideas?

I've very rarely gone a day without crying in the last 3 years. Throughout most of my life, since I was a child I've been prone to crying pretty often.

Hmmm... To be perfectly honest, I am not really that sure what I like >.>; I've been tasked to write down what I like / What I want, but I am completely stumped <.< I guess I like reading about Um... History I guess... I play some video games I guess... but I am very picky... I don't listen to any bands, read any series of books, or like any TV shows >_>; I know what I dislike and what I hate, but that is about it >.>;

I should apologize. I think my general dislike of men and hypermasculinity tainted my topic, which hopefully hasn't been derailed too much. One of the reasons I dislike men is because a great portion of them put up all these #######4 fronts to hide the fact that they're just as scared and sensitive as many women are. It just seems so dishonest to me.

What makes this so twisted is that I'm a guy myself, and I'm actually attracted to guys, and I do many of the things my fellow men do that I find annoying. So basically, I don't have much to back me up besides my ambivalence and confusion.

Again, I apologize to anyone I've offended. I know my post was a bit abrasive.

I am not very expressive either, I don't show neither sadness nor happiness well but i think I'm better with sadness. I used to be very numb in the past but recently it has changed, I think because I'm really trying to open up and get close to people. I am very sensitive, get very emotional and cry alot recently but never in front of people. But I can share it with others, I can text my best friend and tell her I'm crying, it's a new thing for me.
