-- Posted by Anonymous at 8:33 am on Dec. 7, 2008 I know many of you will not believe me, but i have not cried for over 5 years. The last time i did cry was when my grandmother died in august of 2003, i was really distraught and didn't talk to anyone for a week.

I just feel i have a mental block against it or something -- Posted by Cyanotype at 8:34 am on Dec. 7, 2008 There's nothing wrong with that.
