Well, yeah.

That's because they all have the same script.

The wind's kicking up and there's flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder and it smells like rain, but there has been no actual rain yet. I kinda want to yell out the window, "Frickin' RAIN already!"

I love thunderstorms. I wish it would just commit to one already. Come on, already! Stupid weather.

And another thing! (About my family being full of dipsticks.)

If I never hear the phrase "Crying doesn't help the situation" again, it will be too soon. I'm sorry if crying doesn't repair my heater core or pay my bills or get my published, and I know that's not the case, but I also know that crying makes me feel better and just because it doesn't help the situation in a concrete manner doesn't change the fact that it keeps me from having a nervous fucking breakdown. Allowing me to cry for a few minutes should not be considered a criminal act.

It certainly doesn't HURT the situation to let me release just a smidge of stress by crying, for fuck's sake. Sheesh.

I can't begin to describe how much I absolutely do not want to go to work tomorrow, since I'm going to spend the entire day on the phones. I just want to go back to my stupid desk with my stupid returned mail and do my damn job again. Hmph.

You should remind them that while it might not help the situation, crying hurts a hell of a lot less than you losing your shit and going all Sparta on their asses.

Just sayin' s'all.

Also crying is PROVEN to lower your blood pressure and stimulate the release of stress managing hormones and crap like that.

So THEY LIE! Crying DOES help!! It's a physical coping mechanism that's grown out of thousands of years of evolution.

*more hugs*

I hate when people say that.

I cry at every sad scene on TV. I make sure to because I'm pretty sure it keeps me sane. Keep on crying, I say!

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if I've cried every single day of my life. Um, that's probably a bit TOO extreme, though.
