But I'm 22 now and less prone to that kind of thing...and I cried at the end of Mother 3, even though I knew what would happen due to spoilers in Brawl.
I didn't cry when Alys died...(well, maybe the first time I did, I would've been young), Aeris' death was sad but not overly so because it seemed too obvious.
I've only had two males that were jerks. One was never fixed and was an outdoor cat, the other one took to my mom instead of me. Ickers (my oldest male) is a chicken and Romeo (a year younger) Loves everything that moves. He isn't happy unless he gets attention XD
