What Color Crayon Are You?

Posted by: LacyLee  /  Category: Cool Links

I just ran across this quiz and decided to take it since it was only five questions total.  (Now that I’m out of school, I refuse to complete anything longer than that.)  The test concluded that if I were any color crayon, I would be purple.

This is noteworthy since, until recently, I have almost always said that purple was my favorite color.  I have only stopped saying that not because I don’t like purple anymore, but because: first, it makes me sound like a four-year-old girl; and second, I came to the realization that I have different favorite colors depending on the item.  For example, there is not even a splash of purple in my house; I’m just not hippie enough for a living room with purple drapes and bongo drum ottomans.  However, my history with purple cannot be overlooked.  After all, I did have a purple party for my 11th birthday where all attendees were required to wear as much of it as possible.  (Consequently, my family likes to ask if they need to wear purple to my birthday party each year.)  However, despite their harassment, I’m thinking that maybe I should bring it back…I love a party with a dress code!  While you wait for me to get my guest list together, take a look at my quiz results below:

You Are a Purple Crayon


Your world is colored in dreamy, divine, and classy colors.

You hold yourself to a sky high standard, and you are always graceful.

People envy, idolize, and copy you without realizing it. You are an icon for those who know you.

And while it is hard to be a perfectionist, rest assured it’s paying off!

Your color wheel opposite is yellow. While yellow people may be wise, they lack the manners and class needed to impress you.

For how simple it is, I think the results were pretty accurate - especially the part about how much people envy me, don’t you think? :)

So why don’t you take the Crayon Quiz, and then let me know what color you are.  You might just find out that I envy you back (unless you’re a yellow apparently).  Sorry.

What Rocked that Day?

You may have seen the “#1 Song” note going around if you inhabit the virtual (and very friendly) world we call Facebook.  All you do is go to this website (http://www.joshhosler.biz/) and select a date to find out what the #1 song was on that day in history.  On Facebook, the task is to look up the top song on the day you were born, but I’ve decided to take it a little further and look up a few more special days.

Disclaimer: I’ve posted links to all of the following songs for your listening pleasure.  I don’t remember any of them being particularly inappropriate, but I don’t always have the best memory and I was somewhat clueless to content as a teenager since I was rarely really paying attention to the lyrics - it was pretty much all about the beat, baby.

eddie-rabbitt

The glorious day of my birth: “I Love a Rainy Night” by Eddie Rabbitt
(I had to play this song to know what it was, but I did recognize it upon hearing it - I guess I was a hip baby.  It’s not bad, and I must say that I really do love a rainy night.)

ace-of-base

The day I officially became a teenager: “The Sign” by Ace of Base
(So fitting.  My nickname used to be Lace of Base because I loved them and this song so much.  One day shortly after my oldest sister broke up with her boyfriend, she sang and danced to this song on repeat for me and my little sister while wearing my completely-sequined baseball hat - definitely one of my favorite memories.)

coolio

That terrifying first day of high school: “Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio
(Everyone would let out a good scream when this song was played at school dances - we LOVED it!  It made us feel so hard core - a regular bunch of dangerous minds.)

spice-girls

My Super Sweet Sixteen: “Wannabe” by Spice Girls
(This makes sense since my greatest memory associated with this song is of blaring it with my windows rolled down as I drove out of the school parking lot right after I got my license.  It didn’t take long before it became very UNcool to like the Spice Girls.  Even so, I still (secretly) loved this song.)

tlc

The senior prom: “No Scrubs” by TLC
(An anthem for women - “we don’t want no scrubs.”  Poor grammar had never been cooler.)

jennifer-lopez

My high school graduation: “If You Had My Love” by Jennifer Lopez
(I oddly don’t have any fond memories of this song.  My love of Jennifer Lopez peaked at her portrayal of Selena; it’s all been downhill since then.)

Okay, your turn.  Post your results in the comment box.  No need to include your memories (unless you want to), and you don’t have to list all the occasions I did (especially since you may not have even experienced some of them yet).  Just start by looking up the day you were born and then add whatever other dates (if any) you’d like.  This is fun, right?  Old people aren’t the only ones who can reminisce.

Okay, I try to avoid voodoo magic, but I can’t help but pass this link my little sister just sent me on to you guys: http://paulsadowski.com/numbers.asp.  All you have to do is type in your full birth name and you will receive an instant personality assessment based on numerology.  Let me know if it is as eerily spot-on for you as it was for me.  Creepy.  Cue music please: doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo.
