Embarrassingly over-girly things you've done in the past - 'fess up!

    I don't consider myself particularly girly, but most people have done embarrassingly girly things in the past, myself included. Sometimes nothing makes you feel better than hearing the foolish things others have done, and using them as a point of reference for your own embarrassing behaviour. I'll start the ball rolling...

    I have (to my great shame and embarrassment) cried over a bad manicure. I didn't realise how bad it was for a while, however, it took more than 2 hours to become touch dry (by which time it was badly smudged). When I went back the next day they offered to remove it for me, "free of charge". I was so livid and the day was already going badly, so I agreed and left. I bumped into one of my friends a few minutes later and just burst into tears.

    Any particularly pink muppety moments to confess?

    when i went on my first official bodmod night out, i spent the entire night crying cos i missed my boyfriend. inconsolable. i was a complete drunken mess, and was acting like someone id usually roll my eyes at.

    I wouldn't be much of a crier but for some reason my eyes fill up with tears every time I see that ad for Sony where all the musicians are in the giant room and they all play one note of their instrument and it makes a nice tune and at the end they all cheer.

    I can't explain it but it happens every single time. And it's especially bad because they play it before every film in Cineworld and I go to that cinema about twice a week. My boyfriend has started putting his arm around me every time the ad comes on :o

    As I'm typing this I'm aware just how weird and ridiculous it sounds. I think I need to toughen up a bit ;)

    I've sobbed my heart out on 3 occasions after getting my hair done and not liking it. I don't think any bloke understands the importance of hair. Both my dad and my then boyf thought i was crazy but mam understood! :p

    I also firstly...went to see PS. I love you, and secondly, cried during it!:rolleyes:

    In addition to these shameful moments I also can't help saying "aww" when i see cute puppies or babies... i think this is pretty sickening behaviour! :p

    i have been trying for i'd say well over a year to read ps. i love you and just can't stop bawling crying at it. Its so sad. Some friends want me to go see the film but i think i'd be an emotional wreak by end of it (thats if i could stay til the end) I know........stupid!

    OMG Dobby! RIP. That was a tearful few pages alright.
    Although does crying at harry potter really deserve the title of "embarrassing girly moment"?
    I for one am proud to cry at harry potter!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,324 ✭✭✭✭Cathmandooo


    Nope it isnt embarrassing cos it's a legend of a story that has its very own forum which we will be shunted to if we keep yapping bout Harry :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Narco: wouldnt worry about the crying to be honest.

    I cant understand crying over a bad haircut, or even a manicure they all grow back. Then again i aint a laydee, different mind set.

    p.s thanks for ruining the harry potter stuff girls

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,878 ✭✭✭Rozabeez


    I've cried hysterically in the cinema, I won't even say which movie, it's too embarassing. Then I cried again on the bus home. Awful.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    its not ok to slap me. Even if Damo wants to.

    could someone please explain to me how it even starts? like i understand if you are sad, you cry, happy you smile etc.
    is it just too much excitement and you get bowled over? or does it just creep up on you and *bm* tears? the latter happend to me once

    i cant speak for anyone else, but in films/books, i do have a tendency to really get into the characters and that, and for the most part, i do tend to care about them, in a weird sort of way. then, when they get upset, well... i usually tend to relate too much, and i get upset too. it's horrible.

    as for incubus, i listened to them a lot during some particularly bad patches in my life. and hearing them live like that, is just quite overwhelming, brought back a lot of memories.

    I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about this movie and he was talking about watching it with his father and I quote:
    Then it was our 'family film' Christmas Day a few years ago... and.. funny story here; half way through the movie, just before disaster strikes the ship, my Dad dozed off. He woke up a few minutes before the movie was about to end, and, after a few minutes of watching he retorted, of Jack and Rose.... "Jayzus," sez he in his lovely Kilmainham accent, "are that pair still together. Even the ship broke up!"

    :D:D

    +1. I cried for about two hours after i got home as well. in my defense I was 14!

    Recently I cried at the end of the railway children where she sees her dad come back from prison and shouts "daddy, my daddy". That film is on every Christmas and every year I cry! God I'm a bit teary thinking about it now! My bf luckily thought it was cute rather then demented.

    The other very girly thing i recenrtly did was get extremely excited because I found a pair of particular jeans in my size after searching everywhere for them. I smiled for about an hour!

    p.s. re-read the 7th Harry Potter over Christmas and I cried when Dobby died too, which is strange. I've read the book twice before and didn't cry then!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,878 ✭✭✭Rozabeez


    Nah my film of shame was The Wind That Shakes The Barley. He's just such a beautiful man.

    Big Fish had the mother and I curled up on the sofa crying for hours, and that's not an exaggeration.

    but the Wind that Shakes the Barley was a serious film, nothing to be ashamed of crying at that.

    i cried at a cartoon ffs. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    Mine is Ugly Betty, dunno who watches it but you know the part where the sister finds out her fiance is dead. I sobbed watching it, the sobbed again whn my bf asked what was wrong, so badly all he caught was "he......sniff sniff, he's.......... DEAD ahhhhhhhh" which freaked him out a bit, he thought I was talking about someone we know! Worse still I cried while talking about it the next day in work!!

    Besides that, I have been known to cry at certain ads, anything which shows proposals, weddings, funerals, hurt animals or big strong men crying!!

    I'm an emotional wreck!

    However, if you haven't read the books by now then you deserve to be told what happens!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    I cried during a driving lesson because I was too scared to pull out of a junction onto a main road (5 years ago!). Tears well up in my eyes when I think about how much I love my OH, they're happy tears though.

    i have also cried over woeful haircuts

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,150 ✭✭✭LivingDeadGirl


    The Lion King when Mufasa dies, very sad indeed, still gets me watery eyed to this day and god knows how many times I've seen that film.
    I cried when Fred and George from Harry Potter LEFT THE SCHOOL ffs, in my defense they are my favourite characters!! Dumbledore and Fred dying got me too. I was never attached to Sirius though.
    Heh went to see I Am Legend in the cinema and when Will Smith's dog is injured and limping every woman in the cinema made that same high pitched 'awwwwh!!' noise, I felt very embarrassed to be doing it too :D

    I sobbed, unconsolably, when Denny died in Grey's Anatomy :(

    Titanic was a major tear jerker for me too in my youth.

    Although right now I feel really cold hearted cause just home from the cinema where we went to see P.S., I Love You. Everyone around me was in hysterics, and I just laughed at them all......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭SarahSassy


    I cried watching Sally Jesse Raphael ( :o ) today when there was an 11 year old boy on who is dyslexic. All his classmates called him stupid and he thought he was stupid because of that awwww..

    That was then beaten by the father and son who were on. The Mother had died 9 years previously. Child is 14 and father is terminally ill. He had no family and was looking for a nice family to adopt his son... Ah now... I was in pieces. I would have adopted him myself except the show was about 8 years old so he is about 22 now "!!!

    I used to bawl watching that programme 'The Hospice' on RTE.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    the hospice was quite sad alright
