Awww, you sensitive soul. My greatest weakness in movies is falling asleep during them. Even at the cinema, surround sound, big screen and all.

I never used to cry at movies, until I saw Brokeback Mountain. I'd driven to Calgary to see it (3 hours one way), sat in the theatre all through and didn't cry at all, but I was just sobbing when I got back to my car. When I saw it in my hometown a month or so later, same thing--didn't cry at the movie, but did when I got home.

Now I tear up a lot more at movies. I was just about sobbing when I saw "Charlotte's Web" with my daughter a couple weeks back.

I remember trying to make myself cry the first time I saw "Little Women". I was at the movie theatre with my grandmother and my mother, both of whom were in tears, and I was terribly sad at the movie, but despite my concentration, I couldn't even make my eyes wet.

The one sleepover that will forever be etched in my memory is from fourth grade. It was my ninth birthday and my mom had organized a surprise party plus sleepover at my house, also inviting E, the most unpopular girl in the class, who lived in our neighborhood. I had returned from three years abroad a few months before so I didn't completely understand why she wasn't liked, but I went along with everyone else. At my party the other girls laughed at her for being a scared baby during the night, and finally, in the morning, they threw her stuff and her sleeping bag outside and locked her out. I didn't actively participate, but I didn't stop it either ( ... )

Sleepovers were a big deal when I was in grade school. The girls I hung out with in my grade usually had one every year, at a different house each year. The usual proceedings included seances (w/ or w/o Ouija boards), ghost stories, Truth and Dare, levitation games, and such classic stunts as putting someone's hand in a bowl of warm water (it never worked the way it was supposed to). I was very upset when I was permanently uninvited to my old gang's sleepovers because I skipped a grade.
