Hehe... believe it or not, my one of my favorite colors is yellow. I got
laughed at for being "girlish" when I was young because of that, though I
still don't understand what yellow has to do with being "girlish". I never
liked red or blue, and green didn't really appeal to me. Strangely though,
deep blue and deep green did appeal to me, as well as aquamarine with a
greenish shade to it. Somehow green with a bluish tinge just attracts me.
Who knows why... :-)
