Yourself and Your Site Meme
Zach threw out a meme. He then proceeded to scare me into accepting Faruk's, but he didn't offer it. Apparently not satisfied with my "get lost you freak", he was now threatening to bore me to death if I didn't fill one out.
so, *sigh*, here 't is.
Summarise myself in one word
Nondescript.
That's probably because I still haven't figured myself out yet. Who took the manual?
Summary of my website in one word
Green.
After more then 7 years of blue limbo, the site suddenly changed its colour. Amazing. Why?
Green comes with many symbiotic meanings, among which, the strongest and the most universal is nature. Which could point to the area I live; it's pretty green outside. Related to that, it also signifies life, youth, renewal, hope and vigor.
Brides in the Middle Ages wore green to symbolize fertility. We'll ignore that last bit. That all sounds really cool in some marketing kind of way. I probably like the second About.com paragraph best:
"is the easiest colour on the eye and can improve vision. It is a calming colour and has a neutral effect on the human nervous system. The "green rooms" are designed for people who are waiting to appear on TV to sit and relax. Green is also a popular colour in hospitals because it relaxes patients."
So if you feel like a homicidal maniac, come to my website, to get sedated by bad posts, some neat pictures, and very light content. And the green decoration. Did this describe my website thoroughly? No, of course not.
I really didn't want to spread this meme, but I then remembered I enjoy other people being annoyed. So take this, Sjors, Jeroen and T.

Matt Robin said: on 24 Nov 2005 03:28:20 Green is a 'neutral' colour and Colour Psychologists (and they're a fun bunch!) have said that people who use/like too much green are promoting an image of 'ambiguity'.
