measuring worth through colors


One of the blogs I read posted a little color test, found here, linking your favorite color with a brief synopsis and judgment of your character. My favorite color is, of course, brown. But reading the description could not be further from my actual personality.

"You are down to earth, comfortable with who you are and have a great ability to find joy in life. You don't take things personally, you can rebound from failure, and you go for what you want."

Down-t0-earth is a stretch, but is leaps and bounds ahead of, "comfortable with who you are," and, "don't take things personally," and, "can rebound from failure". I took this test and had to look aorund and laugh at the irony of the universe's practical joke on me.

So I went for color number 2: Gravel. (I am a paralyzingly neutral person, apparently).


"Pressure stimulates you and you like setting goals for yourself. You are exciting, very curious, and are great at parties. You surround yourself with lots of unusual people and have loose boundaries."

Unusual people and loose boundaries. Now THAT'S something I can hear resonating within me. They must have left out the character trait of, "hating yourself for being unable to be something stupendous like people who are PAPAYA or POOL and MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE because come on, Gravel, these traits are all euphemistic ways of telling you YOU HAVE THE CRAZY."

Just kidding.

But seriously.
