This morning I was listening to Katy Perry's California Gurls on the radio. I really hate her, but that song is cool.
And while I was listening, I started to cry. Eyes wellin' with tears kinda stuff. And it was like one of those moments that you just realize how much you love life and how awesome and good it is.
And I have to ask, what the hell kind of person is moved by a song such as that?
I've listened to it before, with nothing like these kinds of results.
And I'm not pre-menstrual. It's got to be something else.
I am ill. With some kind of mental thing. I wonder what WebMD would have to say about this?
Hormones? Mine jerk me around lots too. And not the p-word right?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I hear being emotional is a symptom of pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin. ;)
Mmm.....pregnant was the first thing that popped into MY head....
ReplyDeleteSince my first pregnancy, I am a changed woman. No longer can I watch an insurance commercial with a dry eye. Or hear a certain song without welling up, or listen to my husband read stories to my children without choking back a sob. It's happened. I have become my mother.
ReplyDeleteNo, that's just the beauty of music. It moves you. I crumple into a heap grocery shopping when Sonny and Cher's "I got you, babe" comes on.
ReplyDeleteI thought pregnancy, too...
ReplyDeleteWhat did WebMD say?
The scary thing about WedMd...the same symptoms can be virus, autoimmune, or cancer! :)
ReplyDeleteDON'T DO IT!! STAY AWAY FROM WEBMD, BETHANY!!!
ReplyDeleteWebMD would probably say "get ready for the change cuz it's a commin" I don't know what happened to me, but somewhere along the line, my tear ducts turned into faucets. It hits me at the oddest times. Yeah, I'd probably cry along with you listening to California Gurls, but my head would be sweating bullets too.
ReplyDeleteI think it's some Mommy Virus (Web MD denies this, mainly because no drug company will sponsor it)....ever since I became a mom, even a stupid jingle for tampons or chewing gum can get me all teary. But Bethany, it's cool that you are teary thinking how much you love life, rather than teary because it sucks!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I was thinkin you might be Prego too. But I agree, Music can just do that. Even a song like that. You people say "I just Gotta Dance" when they hear a song...that emotion creeps up in us all, just not always in the same way! ;) BTW-I LOVE that song! It makes me just wanna dance! {wink}
ReplyDeleteSweet Jesus, I love that song. I agree, she's annoying, but that song makes me REALLY happy. And along with gas, the hormones of motherhood make me tear up over anything. I read a post out loud to my mom the other night and choked up when I mentioned my son. So pathetic.
ReplyDeleteThat song just has magical powers - it can make my four month old baby girl stop screaming, mid-wail,and smile and laugh like a goof ball. Love it!
ReplyDeletePregnant? Or...just really feeling it today. I do that sometimes, out of nowhere, but can't say I've done that while listening to California Gurls ;)
ReplyDeleteI bet the Dr. says you have mono or hepatitus b. Katy Perry inspired happy tears, classic symptoms!
ReplyDeleteThe Boys of Summer by Don Henley has made me cry for as long as I can remember. Not happy tears, but summer's over tears. Even if I hear it in May.
And Long May You Run, by Neil Young, gets me every time.
And(while I'm on a roll) America by Simon and Garfunkel. Oh my gosh! I always feel like there's something I'm not doing or seeing and that I need to pack my crew up and go. It chokes me up! Every. Single. Time.
Brain tumor for sure.
ReplyDeleteSometimes even lame tv commercials make me cry and I'm not even bleeding from my uterus or anything. Like the other day I found myself totally sobbing while watching a commercial for bumpits or something equally ridiculous. (And no I wasn't crying because their hair looked so awful.) Hormones, brain tumors, hepatitis? Could be any or none of the above in my opinion. Cuz I'm a woman and I can cry if I want to. At least that's what I tell my husband anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe video moves me more, if you catch my drift.
ReplyDeleteI'm puzzled by so many of the lyrics to that song, alas, I can only cry at myself.
ReplyDeleteSorry that I'm no help at all with your ailments.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I once teared up listening to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." Still to this day can't explain that one. But if you're mentally ill, you probably caught it from me. Sorry about that.
