Go Orange, instead of Green

Alright, the media has ruined my favorite color, green. This doesn't mean I hate earth, recycling, or saving the earth. I think everyone should have shopping bags to reuse. (everyone does it in Australia) It is fun. The problem is that the phrase now makes me nausea. I am using public transportation, I am going green. I walked to school, I am going green. (that is saving gas, because it is super expensive) Look, I recycle my plastic bottles and cardboard. I do these things because I want to, now it is popular and everyone is doing it. You are cool, if you go green. (side note: not to be weird, but remember what green m'm's stand for) I am not going green.
I would love to go red, but that seems angry, yellow-happy or being a chicken, blue-sad and depressing, purple-yeah, it sounded great, until someone told me that meant going gay. (can't use what has already been taken). Black is Gothic and slightly racist, as well as white and brown. That leaves only one basic color left orange.

I decided, I am going Orange. What does it mean? No, I am not trying to get skin cancer and get tan. Orange is a balance between red and yellow. We should be more balanced. I decided it means to more social. Our world could use this balance. Our world could use more nice, friendly people. We could smile to strangers and say hello. We can put ourselves out there, out of our comfort zones. For example: We go to church, sit by the same people, talk to the same people, sit in the same pews. I dare you to sit on the other side of church, it is a whole new perspective. Talk to someone new. Invite someone over for dinner. Be bold, brave, balanced, social, do something out of your comfort zone. GO ORANGE!
