Tears

Oh my. So I read the book, My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult. I very very much recommend this book. I will tell nothing of it or the movie. Today, mom & I went and saw the movie. As with most movies that are based on books, the book was WAY better. Seriously, I highly recommend it. The movie...well I cried my eyes out!!

I hate to cry in public. I hate to cry in movies because I'm not a pretty crier. My face gets all red & "splotchy". I could've stopped crying hours ago, and it's like I stopped 10 mins ago. I've learned a trick at the movies. I tune out the slow, sappy music. I block out the plot. I look around at people watching & I try to pick out bad things about their hair. I look around at the curtains on the wall or at my feet. There were several times I passed the crying test with my "movie tricks". But once I couldn't fight it, I cried the last 45 mins of the movie. There were scenes when people laughed and I didn't think anything was funny. Which is odd because I think EVERYTHING is funny. I started to get ticked off b/c just when I got it together....I cried again. I came very close to leaving the theater but what would the point be? Then when the movie was over & it ended WAY different than the book, I was so dang mad that I stayed!!!! Oh well....that's Hollywood for you!
