maybe what it was that sets it off says a lot about me...
There is one thing that occurred in the past 12 months (something fairly well-known in the media, not a personal tragedy) which always ALWAYS makes me cry when I think about it, and I don't know why... Something which isn't significantly different from many similar occurances in the world virtually every day. And the more I think about it the tearier I get. It honestly just breaks my heart just thinking about it.
Anyway, I was watching The Logies tonight (yes, because Award Shows, I am your bitch) and it came up a few times. It was so ridiculous that I was sitting on my couch at home sobbing DURING THE FREAKIN' LOGIES. If anyone had come in at the time they probably would've thought I was getting upset at Steve Irwin's death (which is upsetting and a great loss, mark my words, but didn't have THAT profound an effect on me), or maybe at the realisation that a) I have to let go of my mad Adam Hills love because he's happily in a relationship and b) I can't hate his girlfriend because she's Ali McGregor and she's awesome. No none of those things made me cry. Although I'm glad to an extent, as crying over Adam Hills may have been a tad insane and stalkerish. =P Oh Adam, how I long for your monopedal embrace...
Anyway, it just struck me tonight because I'd noticed it before but didn't realise it was a trend with *this* particular event. So it looks like I've figured out my trigger, people. =P Weird. I can do it now anytime. This'd be so awesome if I were an actress. I can cry on cue! Sigh.
And speaking of the Logies, while I think Kate Richie seems like a lovely girl, and think credit-where-credit's-due, I'm impressed that she's worked on the same show for 19 years... but this year I think Rove really deserved the Gold. I know people argue about how he has hardly even been on this year and would only get it for the pity vote but I disagree... I think to a degree these factors just enforce why he deserves it. His show was great last year, and he's come back this year even better than ever. And in the midst of all this he's dealt very bravely with a personal tragedy with warmth and dignity. To have dealt with that and then come back in a blaze of glory... well, I don't care what the rest of Australia thinks, I admire him.
Anyway. Cheesiness over. God I'm lame... but like I said earlier, I am Awards Shows' bitch. Can't resist me an awards show.
