Meeting up with an old mate you haven't seen in years yet talking like it's been days.
Sitting in the middle of nowhere watching a glorious sunrise with good friends/soul mate.
Looking into someone else's eyes and realizing their happiness means more to you than your own.

Sour:

Waking up and realizing the person next to you isn't the person you fell for.
Finding out people you thought were friends were something far less.
Sitting at home wondering where it's all going and realizing how little time you have left.
Looking into the mirror and hoping that's not you looking back.
Israel/Palestine.

Sweet:

-realising that I have more friends than I thought I did
-knowing that you've made someone's day

Sour:

-stress at work
-realising that none of my old friends were really much more than acquaintances, and feeling like I've lost great chunks of my past
-the awful state of the world: Holly and Jessica, the Middle East, floods across central Europe...

Mostly for me sweet wins out. I'm in a pretty optimistic place right now

Having to lose some weight (I want to, don't get me wrong, i'm sick and tired of looking awful)

Why is it so easy to put weight on but near impossible to lose it again?

SWEET

* 2 more sleeps until I go to Leeds festival
* Not failing my AS levels
* Having loads of friends who I love to death
* Knowing they love me too
* Knowing you look damn good when you go out hehe

SOUR

* My friends boyfriend being an a**e and making her cry
* Her not listening to reason about the way he treats her
* Going back to college on my birthday
* Fancying people who dont fancy you back
* Wanting to lose weight and it not happening

Sweet?
9 days holiday coming up (Visitng the rellies)
Booooooooooooze

Sour?
Women (Or some of them )

I'm simple me

Sweet:

* Being blisfully drunk from good red wine and having conversations with friends or loved ones long into the night.

* Listening to music that makes you tingle from top to toe with happiness.

* Those few months or weeks of splendid giddiness when you're in a new relationship (Spike must be a habitual abuser of this)

* Being completely and utterly in awe at the beauty of nature

* The sound, taste, sight, touch of anything while on ecstasy

Sour:

* Having a huge hangover from the red wine the next day, and the world is back to its old evil self.

* Being in a job you hate and not seeing a way out

* The same awe producing nature making you feel an insignificant cog in the universe and making you realise just how short a time you have in this realm.

* The awful realisation that all those feelings were fake when the drugs wear off as you try desperately to get to sleep and fight off the paranoia.

Hmm

Sweet
Having a wonderful husband and daughter
Being fortunate enough to have a climbing business
Having some great friends (including some of you!)
Watching Georgia grow and learn every day

Sour

Bad hair days

Sweet:

That lovely tingly feeling when you've had that 1st pint
Meeting someone who you instantly click with, and knowing you're going to be friends for a long time.
My 3 godchildren
Waking up in the morning thinking you have to go to work, then realising it's Saturday

Sour:

Waking up with a stinking hangover
Someone you thought of as a good friend suddenly turning on you.
Feeling depressed
the state of this country and the people in it.

Can't say I would condone anything to even do with ecstacy.

Hmmm, yeah, would have to agree with that, especially the sight of teenagers lying in hospital beds in comas.

Would definitely be in my sour list, that one...

If you read my post you'll see that I'm not condoning the use of drugs...

see the sour part:

* The awful realisation that all those feelings were fake when the drugs wear off as you try desperately to get to sleep and fight off the paranoia.

Is it really the case that the British are still so reserved they would rather avoid the subject of drugs rather than talk about it in a grown up manner? The key to good drugs education in my opinion is not telling people not to do it, but keeping people well informed as to the risks and dangers of all drugs - alcohol included.

Maybe you're right. And I apologise for missing what you had put in your 'sour' list. But I see the very real, and hard battle, the police face trying to keep these type of drugs out of Portsmouth. And the wrecked and pathetic creatures who stand in the dock whose lives have been ruined by their dependence on hard drugs and rely on a life of crime to fund their habit. But that's just me.

Anyway, why not start a thread on the topic?

Granted there is the 'sour' bit there, but either way, I still wouldn't have it in the sweet column...
