drunk overemotionalism generally...

I'm either drunk and/or overemotional most of the time.

Not sure if that's classic or dud. Probably dud, but fuck it. Whatever.

(See?)

I don't mind it. Sometimes acting as the consoler has given me an excuse to spend most of the night in the bathroom babysitting the crying-girl instead of having to mingle and make conversation when I don't feel like it. I don't seem to go to parties where someone always cries anymore, maybe I'm getting old.

I'm going to a party tonight in a stable in the Cotswalds : )

crying is always classic.

it's both classic and dud. see also: girls puking and crying in front of frat boy bars at 2am on weekends.

Does one have to book?

dud. I haven't done it since 5th grade, but if I don't know the person I feel helpless and awkward and while sometimes it feels good to console someone, I don't want to say that a friend in misery is "classic."

Yes, because there's other fish in the -- *is tripped, wind is knocked out of lungs*

Classic, if it's someone sufficiently removed from you that you don't have to deal with it but can just sort of enjoy the dramatic frisson it imparts to the proceedings.

Dud if you have to spend the whole night consoling a drunk friend who's breaking up with some jackass for the third time in a month.

Double-dud if it's you.

(and triple-classic if it's Lesley Gore)

― spittle (spittle), Saturday, 7 August 2004 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I can only second your analysis.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 7 August 2004 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

classic no matter the context

― ||amateur!st|| (amateurist), Saturday, 7 August 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

i knew i should've hung out in hoboken

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Saturday, 7 August 2004 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

So sad! Totally dud. Especially if based on concerns about weeper's worth as a human being or whether the universe is a cruel joke.

― Maria (Maria), Saturday, 7 August 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Dud, except for the woman crying in the party scene at Breakfast at Tiffanys.

― H (Heruy), Saturday, 7 August 2004 23:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Hugely dud.

― Andrew (enneff), Saturday, 7 August 2004 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

classic if they've just been dumped, and you go punch them.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 8 August 2004 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

well honestly, it depends on the person, doesn't it? i mean whether you're in love with them or not.

― youn, Sunday, 8 August 2004 03:50 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, i was thinking more of people crying from drunken emotionality, not from some kind of trauma.

― ||amateur!st|| (amateurist), Sunday, 8 August 2004 04:16 (twenty-one years ago)

what is needed is some kind of perspective... wings of desire... angel's wings.

― youn, Sunday, 8 August 2004 05:10 (twenty-one years ago)

dud if it's you doing it.
