“her fave color is obvi purple” (—MK, 4/22/11)

Why “likes purple” is the most pointed, apt, two-word description of a person ever, I will maybe never know, but it just is.

Don’t believe me? Here’s a thought exercise: think of people, but especially lady people, that you have known, who liked purple a lot. Really think about them. I know! It’s all so clear now, isn’t it?

Then spend the rest of your day (or however long you want! I don’t like purple that much, so no judgment here) categorizing people by “likes purple”/”doesn’t care about purple at all”.
