The colour Red

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.
Devious Comments
The easiest way to level is simple questing unfortunatly. Your level and higher level quests will get you to 60 more quickly then instancing and grinding.
If you were on my server, you'd have a nice guild to join with friendly people. >>

D: I'd consider server switch except I still have friends on Blackhand + I don't have any money or means of getting money to pay for the switch <.<
