Favorite
Because I know you are on the edge of your seat to know - my favorite color is blue (probably very easy to figure out if you consider that my room has been one shade of blue or another since I don't really remember - 2nd grade maybe? I don't really remember how old I was when I changed my favorite, but I do remember changing it and why.My favorite color used to be yellow. The color of sunshine, butterflies and happiness. Oh, and my birthstone. I still like, well love really, yellow - but it's not the same and it's not my favorite. When I was little and we lived in the house in Pasadena (Maryland, not California - I've only ever visited the airport in CA, but that's a lot closer than I expected at this point, and I have to say it was bad - I'm sure the rest of the state is nice, but you'd think they'd do something to update the first point of introduction to it - first impressions being so important and all) anyway, Pasadena, all the neighborhood kids were out playing. There was a boy who was the oldest kid, like 2-3 years older than I am, and he was the leader. You know, the coolest. Well for some reason we were talking about colors and I said my favorite was yellow. It was. Then he asked if I knew what was yellow? Well, of course I did - sunshine, flowers, etc... No, he said - pee is yellow. That is the exact when that I stopped having yellow as my favorite.
For a long time I didn't even remember that happening and I just thought my cousin (from NJ who's older than I am and always said my favorite is yellow) was crazy. Turns out she wasn't completely bonkers. Of course, when she said it was it wasn't anymore so she did need to catch up with the times...
For a long time I hated red, orange and yellow. Everything I did and had only used those colors sparingly. Now I love them again, and I think I look fabulous in red. It's my power color. I wear it when I want to feel especially strong.
Not really sure why I posted this or where it came from - just thought you might like to know.
