And now for something completely different

[active_apathy]

A colour meme! This time, behind a cut, because it'll be moderately lengthy and doesn't need the same kind of exposure as the previous post.

Note: I'm not counting clothing or seating toward 'nearest object', because that'd be kind of silly, and because I doubt you really need to know what colour my underwear is.ⁱ

1. Red
1. Closest red thing to you?
   
   The spine of the case for my copy of Karmacode. Mmm, Lacuna Coil.
   
   
2. Last thing that made you angry?
   
   I really don't remember. Good for me!
   
   
3. Do you have a temper?:
   
   Not really, which may explain 1b
   
   
4. Last warning you were given?:
   
   The one about insecure passwords when you make Deepest Sender sign you in to update.ⁱⁱ
   
   
5. Ever been in love?:
   
   More than once.
   
   
6. Are you a fan of romance?:
   
   Romance, romance, gooooooo romance!
   
   
2. Orange
   
1. Closest orange thing to you?:
   
   A bus timetable.
   
   
2. Do you like to burn things?:
   
   Generally, no. It makes them rather less with the tasty.
   
   The exception, of course, is things that aren't food. And that are supposed to be burnt.
   
   
3. Dress up for Halloween?:
   
   No, no I don't.
   
   
4. Are you usually a warm-hearted person?:
   
   Among the warmest, I think, which sometimes works out badly for me.
   
   
5. Do you have anything against ginger hair?:
   
   Potter Potter Potter Potter
   Potter Potter Potter Potter
   Potter Potter Potter Potter
   Weasley Weasley
   
   Um, sorry. Ginger hair? Not an issue.
   
   
6. Are you usually full of energy?:
   
   YES! Except when I'm not. And then I'm sleeeepy.
   
   
3. Yellow
1. Closest yellow thing to you?:
   
   A single blank post-it. Why is there a single blank post-it stuck to my desk?
   
   
2. The happiest time of your life?:
   
   Happiness is hugging a cute and happy puppy.ⁱⁱⁱ
   
   
3. Favourite holiday?:
   
   Ones where I get to actually rest, instead of just catching up on stuff.
   
   
4. What makes you smile?:
   
   Far too many things to write as an answer here, yet fewer things than maybe should.
   
   
5. Are you a coward?:
   
   Sometimes. I do a lot to avoid serious arguments and such, because they make me feel violently and physically ill afterwards.
   
   
6. Do you burn or tan?:
   
   I burn fire-engine red and then, within a day or two, fade back to a kind of bloodless pale.

1. Closest green thing to you?:
   
   My notepad.

3. Are you jealous of anyone right now?:
   
   I have an enviable lack of jealousy.
   
   
4. Are you a lucky person?:
   
   I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking, "Did she post three hundred and sixty two entries, or only three hundred and sixty one?" To tell you the truth, I've forgotten myself in all this excitement. But being this is LiveJournal, the most memeful site on the Webbernet, and will paste your head on yey, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Does she feel lucky?" Well, do I, punk?
   
   
5. Do you always want what you can't have?:
   
   No, not really.
   
   
6. Do you like being outdoors?:
   
   Rarely. See also 3f.
   
   
5. Blue
1. Closest blue thing to you?:
   
   A nearly empty packet of peppermint gum.
   
   
2. Are you good at calming people down?:
   
   I'm good at calming some people down.^iv
   
   
3. Do you like the sea?:
   
   Arr, which o' th' seven, ye scurvy lubber?
   
   
4. Last thing that made you cry?:
   
   The TV, but it's forever doing that. Silly TV.
   
   
5. Are you a logical thinker?:
   
   
   
   
6. Can you sleep easily?:
   
   I can indeed. I can also sleep frequently, restfully, and with others.
   
   
6. Purple
1. Closest purple thing to you?:
   
   A blank CD in an equally purple case.

   The 70% cocoa kind.

   Sometimes.

1. Closest pink thing to you?:
   
   A blank notepad.

   Mmmm, womenfolk. *thinks delicious thoughts*
   
   
3. Do you like sweet foods?:
   
   *thinks equally delicious thoughts*
   
   
4. Like play-fighting?:
   
   Depends on how you define 'play-fighting'.
   
   
5. Are you sensitive?:
   
   Physically? Yes, very.
   Emotionally? Yes, very.
   
   
6. Do you like punk music?:
   
   Some. It depends on just how you'd define punk music.
   
   
8. White
1. Closest white thing to you?:
   
   Paper, paper, paper and more paper. Paper in a stack, paper in a box, paper in a book, paper on a book, stacks of paper in books, paper on a stack of paper in books, paper in books in a box, paper, paper everywhere.
   
   
2. Would you say you're innocent?:
   
   Um, no.
   
   
3. Always try to keep the peace?:
   
   Generally, yes. Argument and conflict do bad things to me.
   
   On the other hand, 'peace' in terms of quiet and stillness is optional for me.
   
   
4. How do you imagine your wedding, if you want one?:
   
   I'll start with things like 'legally recognised', and work from there.
   
   
5. Do you like to play in the snow?:
   
   I don't know. I've seen snow all of once in my whole life. The puppies liked running around chasing it as it fell, though.

   No.
   
   
9. Black

   Maliciously? No.^v
   
   
3. Are you sophisticated or silly?:
   
   Both, either concurrently or consecutively.
   
   
4. Afraid of death?:
   
   No, not really.
   
   
5. Would you like to go to space?:
   
   Take my love, take my land
   Take me where I cannot stand
   I don't care, I'm still free
   You can't take the sky from me
   
   Take me out to the black
   Tell them I ain't comin' back
   Burn the land and boil the sea
   You can't take the sky from me
   
   There's no place I can be
   Since I found Serenity
   
   You can't take the sky from me
   
   Which is to say, yes. And not just on account of Joss.
   
   
6. Do you have a lot of secrets?:
   
   Sure I got a secret. More'n one. Don't seem likely I'd tell 'em to you now, do it?
   
   
10. As the day draws to a close...
1. What is your favorite colour?:
   
   Purple, purple and more purple. Indigo, if you want to be specific.
   
   
2. Does the colour you wear affect your mood?:
   
   No, not really. My mood can, however, affect the colour I wear.
   
   
3. What colour are your bedroom walls?:
   
   A nice coffeeish colour.

   It depends on the purpose, how they're used, and elventy billion other factors.
   
   
5. Do you like to paint?:
   
   If I could paint things, I might.
   
   
6. What colour do you think best symbolises your personality?:
   
   Again with the purple, methinks.
   
   

Whee, the end of the meme.

1. Black today, in case you actually were wondering.
   
2. My password is eight random letters. There's 208,827,064,576 possible single-case eight letter passwords. If you could try one hundred different letter combinations every second, it'd take about 66 years to go through them all.
3. Grown-up puppies count, too.
4. I seem to have the exact opposite effect on some people. Relative levels of nakedness seem to affect the balance between these two groups.
5. To borrow from Joss, "bring your own subtext".

Mmm, Lacuna Coil.

I saw them live on Tuesday night. Pretty good gig.

And now, jealousy. If only you'd told me before I answered 4c. :)

Ah, humanity, how did you ever produce such genius that can make even the stupidest memes amusing?
