1. Cry, unless you know my triggers.
Which include such heart-rending things like playing the Olympic theme.

3. I laugh pretty easy,
but it doesn't take that much of a sad or touching scent to bring on tears. SOmetimes I'm swept away by great beauty in nature or the Arts!

In fact, if I laugh hard enough, I'll start to cry. Don't ask me why, I have no idea. I'm weird.

7. Ugly is the new beautiful....
What a beautiful story- and now I can say for sure it is easier to make me cry though I laugh and smile all the time. Being moved by something makes me cry and your story moved me. Thank you.

10. cry without a doubt
I can go for a year ot two or maybe more without crying but I find something funny enough to laugh at every day. I seem to be wired to be amused.
