Yellow
January 9, 2007Pink has always been my favorite color. But I also love purple because it’s supposed to be my lucky color. I have many things in all shades of blue and black and white too. I almost liked green…kiwi green that is. But never yellow. For me, Yellow is too yellow. It's too sun-shiny. Too happy. Too Smile-y. Too conspicous. Too loud. Too obtrusive. Too post it-y. It‘s garish. It hurts my eyes. It has no air of mystery. It doesn’t have much shade and hue…light yellow…dark yellow…all looks the same to me. An officemate gave me a yellow pillow. I love the pillow despite the color. Then others got the idea that I like the color. I don't know how they came to this conclusion when I never wore yellow or can't recall a piece of clothing I own that's color yellow. Maybe coz I love Pooh and he's yellow? But the yellow things keep on coming my way, a yellow cellphone holder that my officemate crocheted, yellow roses on my birthday, yellow piggy bank and etc. It even seems that I keep on hearing Yellow by Coldplay lately. What is this? Attack of the color Yellow? Or maybe sometime in my past I did something to offend yellow that now it comes back to haunt me. I didn't have the heart to inform them that I find the color repulsive. The yellow color has adopted me and I can’t seem to do anything about it. Oh well being around yellow might influence my disposition. It’s supposed to be cheerful and peaceful right? <–This was supposed to be my concluding statement but after googling yellow…came up with this…
Near the end of the 19th century, the color yellow was often associated with mental illness, specifically including insanity, and with other sorts of mental problems (e.g. depravity). -wikipedia
So yellow must really suit me.
So then I took my turn -Coldplay
Oh all the things I've done
And it was all yellow

Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow..”
Love that song.
I want my house painted yellow. To remind me of sunny days.. 
yellow mellow…i don’t look good in it, either.
