She Paints Me Blue

I've recently been smacked upside the head by the realization of just how much blue there is in my life. It's kind of ridiculous. So I felt like writing a series of lists about my relationship w/ the color blue:

Experiences That Have Made Me Notice My Obsession.
1- I went shopping shortly after Christmas & only managed to buy one item of clothing that isn't blue or green. It's grey. I got the grey sweater so it would go well with all my blue & green.

2-My roomie face Carrie was wearing a bright blue shirt yesterday that she doesn't wear very often & her boyfriend/my buddy Jason thought it was mine. Apparently, anything that particular shade of azul is just assumed to belong to me. 9 or 10 times this assumption is probably right.

3- My closet. I have a mild form of OCD (maybe) & therefore like to organize my clothing by color. The sections go a bit like this: Dark Green, Green, Greenish Blue, Turquoise, Bright Blue (aka Kelsey Blue), Light Blue, Dark Blue, BYU Blue, Purple/Pink/Red (this section contains about 4 things), Brown, Black, White/Grey. There is no yellow & no orange. I have one pink dress & one pink shirt.

4- My room - here all my stuff is baby blue or dark blue or bright blue. At home my walls a green, my curtains are blue & white, all my bedding is blue & white. Obsession much?

Reasons I Like Blue
1- I go to Brigham Young University. Blue is practically holy.

2- Blue is the color of the ocean.

Van Gogh rocks my world

3- Blue is the color of the sky.

4- Blue can express a lot of emotions. Have you ever seen a pensive shade of Pink? I didn't think so.

5- I just do. I think I have some weird chemical make up that allows the color blue to stimulate endorphins in my brain.

A Greatly Abridge List of My Favorite Blue Things
