Part time employment

Well seeing as I don't have any handy weather phenomena to help me in my title today, I'll just write about whatever I randomly choose to put up there I guess. Seeing as I just got home from work, I'll go with that.

*Wow, way to leave this for 2 days and come back to it later. Totally not the same mindspace, not even thinking about that anymore. Let's talk about... green.

Green is a nice colour. The symbol of life, growth, potential- and envy. Each colour has its dark side. Despite that, green is definitely my favourite. Preferably a nice mossy, forest green. Mmm.

After learning about the qualities (seemingly arbitrarily) assigned to each colour in grade ten, I've been wondering what exactly your favourite- or least favourite- colour says about you. Do I like green just because it looks nice? Or am I subconsciously drawn to colours that represent things I find important? Would someone with a strong sense of passion be more likely to love red than anyone else? I have to admit, I find the idea of growth and new life very attractive... maybe it's not green that I love, but the idea of love.

This is actually really intriguing me right now! Come on readers, share your favourite colour in the comments and let's see if it's related to the character traits. I'll set up a list below with the major adjectives for each (and yes I had to do them in rainbow order), including white and black. They're colours too!

Red- passion, excitement, pain, anger
Orange- ambition, creativity, restlessness, anxiety
Yellow- cheer, wisdom, childish-ness
Green- nature, invigorating, jealousy
Blue- truth, calm, depressing
Purple- wealth, individualism, deceit
Brown- fertility, commonality, dullness
White- purity, harmony, naïveté
Black- death, grieving, elegance

  1. My favourite colour is green too!
    But I only started liking it when all my other friends copied me and favoured blue like me. I like orange a lot (and I like the traits associated with it...even the negative ones. It's me in four words).
    As an Aries, red is supposed to be my colour. At least that's what Tyra Banks show guest Astolo-G says.
