(since she is the font of inspiration for this thread, she tries to explain what she meant)
For me, saying that I see myself as green in my minds eye means that when I picture myself, it's green. That is, my thoughts mixed with my self-image is green. Ah.... (tries very hard to make sense) When I picture my own mind, it's just a cloud of green, and when I picture myself, it's an image of my body as a cloud of green, and around me is darkness. But it's a restful darkness, not a frightening one. I like the dark. (fails to make sense)

Hanging in our purple guest room (future nursery):
quote:PURPLE PROFILE
You are a purple person if:
You are imaginative, sensitive, artistic and sophisticated.
You have noble ideals and a keen appreciation of the cultural.
You are alert, demanding, foresighted, confident, resourceful, spontaneous and highly independent.
You take delight in the beautiful, the gracious, the sensitive, but maintain an attitude of critical appraisal.
In love you seek to attain a magical quality and refuse to settle for anything less.
You refuse to be "swept off your feet," unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely ascertained.
You are active in the support of things you believe in, and are concerned with the pursuit of truth and other human values.
You take chances and believe that you must do so to make the most of what life has to offer.
Purple is an exclusive color, mystical in quality, blending the two extremes of the spectrum, red & blue. Traditionally, purple represents splendor, dignity, royalty, rank & wealth.
Purple is a unique color, and it is a truly unique individual who holds it dear.
Mama Squirrel is the purple person, not me. I'm just responsible for the "magical quality" in love, right?

I see myself as skin-color. However I like dark shades between blue and purple. They don't demand a lot of me and feel comfy.

Kat, the sarcasm is just oozing out of me today and has infected many threads. Though I'm wondering why sarcasm is yellow.

Heck, I've already offered her a job as on-staff world-interpreter. Didn't take it though. I might have to up the benefits.

What the site Ralphie linked says about my favorite color:
quote:A totally dead silence, ... a silence with no possibilities, has the inner harmony of black. In music it is represented by one of those profound and final pauses, after which any continuationof the melody seems to dawn of another world. Black is something burnt out, like the ashes of a funeral pyre, something motionless like a corpse. The silence of black is the silence of death. Outwardly black is the colour with least harmony of all, a kind of neutral background against which the minute shades of other colours stand clearly forward. It differs from white in this also, for with white nearly every colour is in discord, or even mute altogether.
V. Kandinsky, Concerning the spiritual in art, Dover Publ. New York 1977, translated by M.T.H. Sadler
That explains so much...

Thanks, kat! Will that sequence work outside of the board? In IRC, for example? Or is it UBB code?

Ok, here's something strange. I just tried to use them on another board, which also runs on UBB (although a more recent version). This one ♪ worked fine, but this one ♫ just gave me a little square -- you know, the "I don't know that symbol" square. Weird!
Kat, why can't you use IRC? There are ways to access that without downloading anything, although I personally prefer mIRC.

Okay, truth is I don't know what IRC is. I know I can't use Trillian, though, and that blocks all the others.

Actually, T_, that was a new one for me. I do know these: þ ß å Thanks!
Kat, IRC = Internet Relay Chat. I like AIM much better for one-on-one chatting; but IRC is much better for group-chat. Not just for pop-ups, which I don't use much; for aliases (sort of like macros); to be able to play wavs at people; and for rooms ("channels" in IRC parlance) that are private and/or password-protected.
But my favorite two things about IRC are that my computer makes a tiny click each time someone says something (so if I'm in another window because it's been quiet, I can go back and check); and with mIRC (the program most PC users use to access IRC) I can set up certain words (like, for example, my name, or "bye") that when said by someone else, trigger a chosen sound effect on my computer. That way, even if I miss the little click, I always know when someone's calling me.
But it is possible to access some of the IRC nets via the web. If you're interested, I can find out what the access is for the Undernet, the IRC net I frequent.

I am the color of a bruise....a little black and gold, but mostly purple and green. When you look at me from different angles, it is either purple or green, or sometimes both together.

I am green and red. Christmas you say? No. More of an olive/wasabi green and a maroon. These are the colors I surround myself with, yet my favorite color is medium blue. Odd how the mind works.
Kayla- your stinky sight sent me right to a naked woman with green, saggy breasts. I think she called herself the Linkmistress. Was that you! Posts: 2425 | Registered: Jan 2002

For me, it's always been teal. (I think this might be the same color with which Jon Boy feels a connection(?) Maybe it's a good fit for Jaiden, too.)

My color's a little more blue than that, kind of like the color of the angst or grumble graemlins.

I'm shades of blue, but I know in my heart that my soul is plaid. (Tartan for all the purists out there).
The word "blue" has always been a very peaceful sound to me. And the names of blue are versatile. The hokey "cornflower" to the sharp sound of cadet. Then there are blues that fade happily into purples and blues that infringe on the territory of green. Blue 'gets along' with almost every color on the color wheel, too. My blue jeans are blue and if you ask me, they go with everything. . . .
quote:... white, although often considered as no colour (a theory llargely due to the Impressionists, who saw no white in nature), is a symbol of a world from which all colour as a definite attribute has disappeared. This world is too far above us for its harmony to touch our souls. A great silence, like an impenetrable wall, shrouds its life from our understanding. White, therefore, has its harmony of silence, which works upon us negatively, like many pauses in music that break temporarily the melody. It is not a dead silence, but one pregnant with possibilities. White has the appeal of the nothingness that is before birth, of the world in the ice age.

You know, you people need to use an ad blocker program. I never even knew there were so many ads till my Nortorn ran out and the store was out of the new ones. I had to get McAfee and it really sucks!
However, most Ads are currently blocked and I don't see the ones y'all are talking about most of the time.
(Yeah, that's me LadyDove. Ain't I gorgeous?)

I pictured myself melting into a puddle, and the puddle was dark blue. But I love purply colors, too. Anything down at that end of the color scale, really.
deep grass greens and sunlit-dapply bright leaf greens.
and blues (before greens). sometimes deep-ocean blues. sometimes sky-blues. sky-blues with sunlit-dapply leaf greens are a good mixture. sometimes shallow-water brilliant turqoise blues of warm waters. sometimes deep healthy mossy greens of growth.

When I was a teenager, my favorite color was absolutely gray. Was it the angst or was it the eighties?
In the last fifteen years or so, I have come to love bright colors . . . kind of an inner child sort of thing, I truly believe. I like bright blue, and I like deep blue as well, and I like bright red. No light colors for me, please. I also love a rich violet, and if I have to pick one, that's what I'll pick. I don't care for the description Kayla posted though. I don't so much mean dark purple as a bright, plum sort of color.
