emotionally female

many of the pictures i post are not mine, but rather, ones i find on the internet. just type in a couple of key words and poof! a collection of images appear. this one came up on someone else's blog. I was compelled to read what was attached (what else is there to do when a moron wakes you up at 3:30 in the morning and you can't go back to sleep?)

this woman was blogging at length about how emotional she felt. how she cried even when her tamagotchi died (that's right, the little electronic toy pet from the 90's). and i thought, "why do people write so much?" i am a fan of the short film, short story, short blog post. i also thought, "is that how stupidly emotional i sound?"

don't get me wrong, i love being a woman and i understand first-hand how feelings can build quickly and in all kinds of misdirections but.... there is something seriously wrong with us.
