colors galore!

i was thinking pussy galore when i typed that for some reason.

i can’t find colors i really like.  i love the dark blue.  but the aquamarine i just chose for the side bars seems a bit much.  blah…

i was thinking of strange names for colors…  when i used to mix paint at Fred Meyer, if i was doing a custom color, i’d try and come up with funny names for the color.  what was really funny was when the customer would come back and request my made-up color name.  the other paint mixer people would just stare at them like, "are you nuts?"  here are a few of the ones i came up with.

• butternut pumpkin
• peach fluff
  (that one kind of makes me sound gay… however, a majority of these probably will)
• sand in my thong (the shoes you perverts!)
• espresso with a touch of jazz
• jasimine saxophone (i don’t know what i was thinking on that one.  just sounded funny in my head)
• match-maker red (no joke, she ran a match making service…)
• wax ecstatic (anyone?  reference?)
• irish oleo (i looked like you put green food coloring in margerine)

that was just a few of the ones.  the one they came back for was the butternut pumpkin.  the day worker had no idea what they were talking about and they had to come back that night for me to do another batch.  i felt kind of bad, but they said they enjoyed my company, so…  *shrugs*

you know what else i miss?  i had several deaf customers that used to come to that Fred Meyer because they knew i worked there and could help them if they needed.  that and i always helped them out to their car and could just stand around and chat…  sad panda…  (my best friend’s expression)

so, i had a morbid thought the other day…  i got kind of a sore throat yesterday… and its still here today, not sure what it is.  i hope i’m not getting sick.

anyway, i was thinking about what would happen if i ended up getting throat cancer, or some other disease where i’d lose my voice.  seriously… i’d never worried about that before until yesterday.  *sigh*  course, when you do something like that you start thinking about what you could do with your life after something like that…  so, i compiled a small list of things i think i’d be good at if i didn’t have a voice.

(in no particular order)

• chief (i love cooking… as if i wasn’t fat enough already.  lol)
• instrumentalist (saxophone or flute)
• stunt driver (how cool would that be!)
• doctor (however, i’d need to have an interpreter… or just cater to the deaf.  that would be fun)

yeah… thats all i can think of at the moment.  not sure what else there is… 

remember when you were a little kid and you wanted to be EVERYTHING!  me too…

anyway… i’m gonna go practice for a bit.  have a great day all!

– noah
