it's one thing for a person to be emotional, it's something else entirely tocry all the time. I will cry in October at my friend's wedding and that's about all the crying I intend to do for a while.
Signature by rubah. I think.
I cried the other day when I saw the video footage from my friend's wedding. I cried when I got engaged. I cried while watching the latest episode of True Blood.
It really doesn't take a lot to set me off. I've been known to cry at credit card commercials.
It makes me emotional when I can see this paid actor trying to sell me a product I know they know will end up ruining people's lives and credit ratings and have their cars repo'd.

Anyway ... maybe once every year or two but I get teary when I watch 'It's A Wonderful Life' every year... and maybe a few other times.
I don't cry very often at all. Last time I proper cried I think was when I suffered a mini-breakdown. I'm the kind of guy who will get upset, get choked up and then get mad that he's upset and choked up and end up angry or bottling it up. I guess I'm British in a stereotypical sense I display what can only be described as a stiff upper lip and keep on going.
I'm in man card debt.
I brood. My emotions are locked in an icebox to which my ex has the only key. Every now and then when I think about her, I think I can make out the shape of that key, but I can't get the lock open. I feel so emotionally inept and numb that I'm constantly wishing for a good weap-fest. I got close a couple of nights ago while watching an episode of Fullmetal Alchemist and Winry was running around excitedly picking up stuff for Edward to buy for her. She eventually shrieked in glee much the same way my ex did and I found it so heartwarming that my eyes got warm and had that tingle in my nose like I was about to start bawling right there. But then the moment passed. I tried rewinding to that scene again, but the affect it had had on me was not repeated.
Oh, lost, my love, forever, without thee, shall I be. *still wishing I could weap*
Every time I watch Black Beauty I head straight to the bathroom, lock the door, curl up in the tub, and quietly weep to myself. His friends are gone and all he has is his memories.
I cry when I feel like crying. It's not healthy to bottle it all up, and I'm not so insecure with myself that I should be afraid of crying in front of people.
I don't bawl often though. During movies, or tv shows, or just really sad or shocking parts in books, I'll shed a few tears, but legitimate emotional pain is the only time I can justify hardcore, nonsensical rambling, snot dribbling out of my nose, full on bawling, and I don't make it a habit to be in those kind of situations very often.
Since I was around 15, the only things that have got tears running down my face have been emotionally painful experiences (breakups, death of pets) or just... emotional thoughts. For example, every 1-2 years I might suddenly get this weird thing where I really, really miss my family, or one of the pre-mentioned pets. Actually, yeah... I think that covers everything. I just don't cry very often, really. I used to have moments when I really wanted to cry, but I haven't really had one of those moments for a long time, now, either.
Music/movies/etc. have never made me cry since I was a kid. And even then, only once - when I was a little kid, I saw a documentary where a bear cub was stuck on a rock in a raging flooded river and the documentary dude was like "This cub is surely doomed." or something, and the cub's mum was on the side of the river, pacing or something. It was traumatic for a boy at that age - roughly five to seven years old - and I ran to my Mum crying, begging to know why the humans who were videotaping it weren't helping the cub. It is, to this day, possibly still one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever seen on screen.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I almost cried when I watched How to Train Your Dragon. To be fair to myself, I was coming off a massive MD high, but still: -1 000 man points.
