Salty
Bitter

*Really short, I know, but it works for me. I'll post an explination on why I chose the words I did in a bit

I have to pack, I have to work, I have to do laundry, I have to read a 600 page book on psycology... I thought universite was supposed to be fun!?!

Hm, that was short. But that's cool. I thought I knew why you picked the words you did, so I'll look for the explanation to see if I was right. Good luck at university!

I like it, I like it.

You sum it up well. salty (physical), bitter (the con fuel for tears) and joyful (the pro fuel for tears.)

Short, to the point, and... just about right. Enjoyed.  

Sincerely,
Titus

Dammit Daniel!! LoL okay, so if you want to know why I chose those words, just read Ti's reply. What I was feeling? Hmmm....
Salty: I've been crying a lot lately, and I realised how salty tears actually are. Actually I was crying my eyes out when I wrote this.
Bitter: I've cried my hardest when I was bitter and hateful towards someone who doesn't deserve it.  
Joyful: I've cried over happy moments so many times this summer. I've allowed my memories to come to the front so that they don't plauge me the rest of my life. Andrew and Ti, thank you guys. You are both so very awesome Beth, thank you for your reply. Did the words mean what you thought they meant?

LOL you're welcome Rhonda. I thought along the same lines that Titus did, but he seemed to go more in depth then I did. Salty--well, I know tears are salty; and bitter and joyful because that's what tears can mean, they can come from something sad or happy. Ok how was that?
