The colour Red

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 30, 2008, 8:03 AM
  • Mood: Tired
  • Playing: World of Warcraft - Burning Crusade
  • Drinking: air
This has been on my mind lately, so I decided I'll type it down.

Whenever someone asks me what my favourite colour is, I can't answer, because I like all colours (if used correctly and as part of a nice colour scheme.) I should have to say that red's probably the most meaningful out of all the colours to me, however. I never get red on any colour/element/personality quizzes. Because those quizzes are very limited in their views - and the way they describe the results, I'm glad that I have inconsistant results.

According to Wikipedia red symbolizes: aggression, courage, guilt, energy, passion, anger, fire, socialism, sacrifice, sin, violence, negative, and warning.

I suppose out of that list, I can most relate to the anger and negative parts <.< not in an emo way, though.

Now for how it applies in my life. Most of it is related to factions - lame as it sounds, my whole family's traditionally Republican. My grandparents in Taiwan also follow a lot of Chinese traditions (New Years, etc) and red is a predominant colour in Chinese decorations. As you may know I'm Luxon-aligned on GuildWars, and Horde on World of Warcraft. Both of which have red as their.. uhm, main colour. I find it interesting that in both cases the faction in question is stereotyped as being barbaric/uncivilized. This may have to do with red being associated with blood, I guess.

Colour trends in my deviations are dotty at best... all my characters have a colour scheme, which usually dictates the colours of the whole artwork. I think my personal favourites are red/brown/gold/green (Jaira, Janishta's Median form) and blue/white/gold/silver (Skantrin, Janishta's Maraquan form, Liquis's RP form) ... ironically they are essentially opposing colour schemes (red vs blue) yet I love them both. I like blues and whites for the tranquility and purity they represent, but aside from being easy on the eyes I just can't relate as much. Face it ... I'm not very happy with my life right now. I keep staying up til 2 or 3 AM every night, which pisses my mom off a LOT. And worse it's because I'm still doing homework... I can't seem to motivate myself to work efficiently. I'm relatively happy with my steady progress on WoW right now, although I just left Touch of the Wicked because I wasn't feeling accepted in the guild and am now in Red Knight Rakkassans ... I don't know if I'll stay though. The problem is I don't have connections with any other guilds being a new player and all, so I'd be wandering lost if I left RKR.

p.s. what's the fastest/reccomended way to level from 47 to 60? I've been doing a mix of questing at Tanaris and instances.. getting a group for an instance takes so long, although it's very profitable (I found my first epic drop yesterday, a lvl 44 BoE axe.) compared to questing and less dangerous (lol...what?) since you've got 4 other people looking out for you.

This is no joke. It works (from experience).

DO NOT just delete this. DO WHAT IT SAYS!!!! FOR YOUR OWN LOVE LIFE'S SAKE!!!

Read this now or forever hold your peace.

This is not just your ordinary chain letter. Every person you send it to, brings you more good luck.
If you send it to no one, it will cause someone you like to hate you.

If you send it to 1 person, your next relationship will have lots of fun times.

If you send it to 2 people, you will get a secret admirer.

If you send it to 3 people, you'll get a date for the next school dance.

If you send it to 4 people, you'll meet the person of your dreams.

If you send it to 5 people, the guy or girl you met of your dreams will ask for your phone number.


If you send it to 8 people, your next relationship will be everlasting.


If you send it to 13 people, your boyfriend or girlfriend, will become totally faithful to you.


If you send it to 15 people, the person you have been crushing on for a very long time, will ask you out.

If you send it to 18 people, your date for the next dance will ask you out.

If you send it to 20 people, you'll make out with your crush at a party..

If it can do that much sending it to 20 people, imagine what it will do if you send it to more.

The consequences:

If you do not send this letter to anybody, your life will suck! You have 5 days to send this letter to at least 1 person. You can send this to as many people as you want to. I am warning you...do not just delete this letter. It is a new chain letter and we would like it to
get sent around as quick as possible. I refused to send it to many people when I first made it in June of 1995, because I didn't believe it would work. I sent it to 38 people, then I got the best boyfriend that I could ever have.

thanks~ and.. yeah, it has. I miss AC D: I signed up on the After Altimit forums (or whatever it was called) but haven't been really active since then.

I've been just drawing, I guess. Not much progress as regards to my R:2 characters lol ^^; I did make a new char, Fareil, though.
