Tired.
Christ, it feels like I've lived three days in one. This feels like one of the longest days ever. The migraine I've been fighting is in full force, not helped by the incredibly angsty and sad movie I just watched and other stuff I've been dealing with and now I'm just an emotional wreck. I really need to stop crying before the stress nosebleeding starts. I wish I could go to sleep. *deep breath* Stupid movie. Very sad, very Romeo and Juliet, very tragic. I knew it would be a sad one but I didn't know it would affect me this bad (it probably wouldn't if I hadn't already been emotionally vulnerable to begin with today), which is why even though I got it in January from NETFLIX, it's been sitting on my nightstand since then.
That's the movie below and some plot synopses from IMDB.com. It's great, but if you're sentimental and weepy (*points to self*) you may be doing some crying somewhere along the way.
After more than four hundred years of war between the Shinobi warriors of the Manjidani Koga and Tsubagakure Iga clans, the Lord Hattori Hanzou decrees that they must live in peace. Both clans live hidden in the woods and mountain without confrontation and without training ninjas in the shadow art of Shinobi. In 1614, the Lord of the Lords is convinced that the clans are dangerous threats for keeping peace in his lands, and his advisor plots a Machiavellian plan to destroy their best warriors in a contest. Meanwhile, the young Iga Oboro and Koga Gennesuke fall in love for each other. When Oboro's grandmother and leader of Iga clan Ogen and Gennesuke's father and leader of the Koga clan Danjo kill each other, Oboro and Gannesuke must lead their warriors in the ultimate battle of the Shinobi clans.

Shinobi centers on the drama resulting from the war between two ninja clans in the early part of the Tokugawa era. In the film, Nakama Yukie portrays Oboro, the granddaughter of Ogen (Lily), the respected Iga clan matriarch, while Odagiri Jo plays Gennosuke, the son of Danjo Koga (Minoru Terada), the powerful Koga clan leader. While living deep within the mountains, the two ninja clans have honed their skills to superhuman levels. Unfortunately, the clans do not get along and are forbidden by imperial decree from sharing their techniques with each other. Viewing the two ninja clans as a threat to his scheme for total domination, the nefarious Nankobo Tenkai (Ishibashi Renji) plots to intensify the rivalry between the two clans. Nakobo creates a contest in which the clans are forced to choose five of their best warriors to participate. The battle, however, isn't just a friendly contest - it's a duel to the death!

I'll be okay. But sometimes I really wish I had a button or a switch I could turn off so I wouldn't get so fucking emotionally vested in every little thing I do. It's very exhausting sometimes.
