They joked around saying I had some magical gift or ability, a type of synesthesia, and I got super excited over it. I knew that I was pulling this stuff out of my butt, that all I did was stare at somebody and announce whatever appropriate color I saw first in my head; it wasn't even related to those color personality tests you take online. (You're a blue person, tranquil and loves water...) But it was so fun that people would support my silliness!
So I was even more amused when I brought it up again some days later, sitting on a bus with these same people and more, and I found myself feeling defiant against people who disagreed with me. How dare they contradict "the gift"??
It was also really funny to see others getting into it with me. People made their own judgements, and there were a couple debates about what colors some people were. I deemed Willie Braun a mustard yellow, and Hanna deemed him burnt orange. He told me he wanted to be burnt orange because that was his school color, and I made a big deal on how you didn't have personal choice on what color you were. You are what you are!
We had all agreed that Hanna was green. Hanna liked being a green person, but wanted her violin playing to be red. It was a really distressing dilemma.
We decided Kyle was blue. He said, "Yee."
I looked up the types of synesthesia and this definitely does not exist. So it makes me really happy to see people play my game with me, and I think it's so funny how seriously we took it. I liked watching our imaginations interact! :) I also thought it was kind of a cool demonstration on how much we could convince ourselves is the truth. What an awesome power to have...I'm going to start telling myself every day that I'm a Disney princess.
I think Mulan is a bright yellow, do you?
