| | For some odd reason, I found myself watching shows I used to watch when I was younger (I'd still watch them today, if only they came on! Cartoons nowadays are just terrible :\)
It got me thinking. Usually whenever I pick a favorite character, the character usually is green, or its "color" is green. I mean, I know I like the color, but I never really paid attention to them when it came to watching shows. I'm not even sure why I like the color green or what it means about me, I just like it. Its a pretty sound color. But maybe I unconsciously WAS picking out characters based on their color, or what they wore. Cases in point:
Teen Titans - Out of the five superheroes my favorite was definitely Beast Boy, followed closely by Raven and then Starfire. He was pretty funny, and his super power was pretty awesome (I wish I could shape shift into green animals!)
 I've also never met a guy whose vegan. But it didn't stop there. Another favorite show of mine was (and still is) The Powerpuff Girls. I think three little kindergartners who save Townsville before bedtime makes a pretty awesome show. My favorite character there was Buttercup. The tomboy. Out of the three, I think I related to her the most. She was tough, and never acted like a girl. Kind of like me at the time. :\  In case you didn't know, she was the "spice" in the "sugar, spice and everything nice" ingredients. That wasn't the only favorite green character of mine. I also used to watch Totally Spies! too. Yes I know. It was probably my guiltiest pleasure at the time. Even there I picked out the "green" character. I despised Clover - She was everything I was not. In real life, Clover was one of those people I probably would've beat up, sorry to say. :\ And it sucked because usually she was the "leader" (The leader was usually the character standing in the middle of all the rest of the "team" or characters). I liked Alex, but she was really clumsy, and she had nothing to offer to the group except funny lines and lucky breaks - kind of like Shaggy in Scooby Doo, you know, catching the culprit by accident? That was Alex. She was pretty stupid too... But Sam had long hair - Something I wanted at the time, but only in theory (I cannot manage long hair) and she was really smart. She was the brains of the group. She was also, by coincidence, wearing green.  Yay, smart, mature, and redheaded (Actually most redheads I know in real life aren't that pretty...) She also didn't have an annoying voice like AHEM Clover :| Even in Pokemon! When the first 150 (Or was it 151? I always forget -_-) Pokemon came out, I adored Bulbasaur before I realized its attack strength sucked (The only thing good about it was its special, which were all leech seed, mega drain, vine whip, and razor leaf. And even then your rival could own with Charizard, because Charizard, as everybody knows, has the greatest attack strength ever, PLUS he's fire. Yes, I still remember all this mmk? shaddup.) I eventually graduated to Squirtle being my favorite because Charmander's so overpicked, and Squirtle can beat Charmander, and Bulbasaur sucks as a Pokemon anyway. But I was first and foremostly drawn to Bulbasaur as a Pokemon, and in the Gold and Silver versions, Chikorita WAS my favorite (This was because everybody predictably picked Cyndiquil, and Totodile was kind of ugly) . Was it a coincidence that they were green? I THINK NOT! Actually, I'm not sure.
But it didn't even stop there. Now that I think about it in the Mario Party games, I always used to pick Yoshi. Then I stopped because my cousin was drawn to Yoshi and started picking Peach instead. And I used to prefer Luigi over Mario (But maybe it was because Luigi was more skinny and taller...)
Was it destiny though? Was it? Was it? I can't really be sure. I just thought it was weird and wanted to share it with you. :\ That's how boring my summer has been, really.
