The bits and pieces, pain and joy that we call Life. And books. Lots of books. And movies. And this chair. That's all I need. Oh, I need this desk lamp.

I CHALLENGE YOU TO WATCH THIS AND NOT CRY
it's so beautiful: the music, the lion, the dudes.
thanks to audrey, i cried helplessly about 4 times today, which is a lot more than usual.
if you are not crying right now, you have a stone for a heart. and i hate you.*
* not really. i don't hate you. i feel sorry for you, you stone-hearted shell of a human.
[2012 note - seems like the video has gone. it was the one with the lion Christian and the two dudes who raised him from a cub they bought in Harrods? in swinging London]

sorry. I didn't cry.
stone heart.
I'm scared to watch it, given the INTENSE amount of pressure you've put on me that I either cry (which makes me half a man), or you will hate me for being a stone-hearted shell of a human.
Which is better?
I think I'll come back another day when I'm not so emotional about selling my fold-out couch on eBay, and watch the video then.
it's ok, bevis. clokes above is a stone-hearted shell of a human and i'm married to him. i don't mind.
incidentally i don't think my sister cried either.
maybe it's just me?
i thought the lion was going to eat them at one stage!
that's just part of the build-up, mex.
ok, moving on. it seems it's just me and princess who sob uncontrollably when we see this video. i showed it to her to cheer her up yesterday, because she was crying about some bear-abuse in japan she read about online.
it didn't cheer her up, it made her cry more, but i think they were good tears and not really sad ones.
I didn't quite cry, but I did feel myself starting to tear up a little.
I would have connected with it more if I didn;t hate that Aerosmith song so much.
Loved the lion and dudes.
god it was the song that got me going, inc. not sure why, the lyrics i guess. it's just what i was thinking the lion was thinking, and the dudes as well.
thanks for confessing to a tear-up.
I wasn't expecting tears, but yes, they were there. thanks.
