Ever had a "There's something in my eye" moment with Trek Lit?

[Trent Roman]

I hope this doesn't make me sound like a terrible person, but I can't recall any Trek book even coming close to making me cry. But, to be fair, that's pretty much true of any literature. For me, only music, or a very poignant scene in a movie, can get the tears to come; I've yet to cry after I've read something, even though I find some books amazingly moving in their own way. I guess my waterworks tend to be more aurally/visually triggered.

While I am simply too macho to cry. No, but seriously, I'm pretty much the same way. I've never been moved to tear by a piece of literature; there just isn't enough immediacy to the medium, not for somebody as emotionally shallow as I am anyway. On the other hand, "Luck of the Fryish" gets me to tear up every damn time I see it.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

Completely off-topic, but am I the only one who thinks KRAD's avatar has a face?

The clouds in the upper right? If so, than yes. If not, well...yeah...

The building itself - the two lights are the eyes and the four lights are teeth.

Yeah, I kind of see that. The clouds caught my attention more.

Maybe we're both crazy?

That's been said before...

Me too. And Jurassic Bark as well.

That's fair. For myself, I cry a lot at books but can't imagine music making me cry. Our brains are wired differently that's all.

Hey trampledamage: Also off topic, but I'm in a Magic Online clan called 'trample damage is the best damage'. Considering your user name, you can probably relate when I say that I do seem to remember crying once when I was winning a match 56 life to 1, only to die about 25 turns later.

I officially hate 'Worship'.

Anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about can't claim to have achieved 100% nerd status

I see it too, but I wouldn't use that as evidence against the crazieness theory.
