Hue. - 141
So I know its been forever and believe me it's not because I have nothing going on to talk about quite the contrary... but things are still really hectic and deadlines and things I have to complete are still hanging over my head so instead of catching up on a summary of events since you last listened to me (believe me that will come soon also...) instead of all that I'm going to write a story.... a story about hue.
This is a story about hue. (great start I know...) If you don't know what the word "hue" means exactly look it up but to put it simply "hue" is for most purposes the word that people should use instead of using the word "color" (or "colour" if you're british...) xD But mostly this is a story of one hue specifically. This is a story of a boy, this boy is the color Orange. Now it shouldn't take anyone reading this half a thought to figure out who Orange is but just for the sake of this story lets pretend you have no idea and just listen to the story about the hue and try not to figure out the people who might be behind the colors. Okay moving on... This boy Orange has horrible luck with the abstract (but very crucial) thing we call love. And maybe that's his biggest flaw, more his flaw than anyone elses but regardless this is about Orange's love life and not much else... so deal with it. ;D
Orange never had much luck in the field of love his whole younger life for various reasons but mostly his faults one could say... but as a result he didn't even have much oppertunity (which actually is quite crucial) but dispite this Orange was quite happy he had a great life a great upbringing not much you could really complain about... and he was well loved in other ways he had a circle of friends very dear to him and was held in high regards by these people... but as Orange finished his 'manditory' schooling and moved on to the optional part of his education and future career he realized he just wanted to get out. For many reasons but maybe the biggest truthfully was to get away from his family. Although Orange loved his family and they treated him well they were all well... Pastel hues and Orange definately was not. And not just for this reason but definately motivated by this he decided to go far away... (Orange also really believed in signs and saw a lot of signs telling him to leave too truthfully...) And this was no little decision Orange could pretty much go anywhere he wanted and many people didn't know why he would go so far away... he had a good life, a good family, and great friends why would he turn his back on all of this familiarity and just go into the unknown? Even Orange had to wonder if he was crazy but in the end he made his decision and went for it.
The hardest thing for Orange about leaving though was that after he made all the plans to leave and all the decisions were made he met a girl. Only a friend at first actually the sister of a friend first truthfully... but she quickly became more than that... This girl Yellow was a good match for Orange or so everyone seemed to think but through a long chain of events and 3 reasons in particular (which I won't address here again...) Orange didn't end up with Yellow and Yellow got with Orange's best friend Purple. And things were hard for a while between the three but in the end it all was fine and Orange and Purple became closer because of it. But The reason I start with Yellow is she is the first one to ever to openly show Orange affection the same way he has historically always given but never seen returned. But the time came and Orange went away leaving Yellow and Purple and everything he was sure of and everything he knew before to try something new and go to the heart of the unknown (all because of some signs... sheez what a choice) but it was for the better as Orange found direction for his life in this new land of the unknown.
The first girl that Orange really met in this new land was Green. Green quickly became Oranges new best friend in this exciting and terrifying new land, but it's safe to say that both Orange and Green really needed each other. Orange fell really hard for Green and quickly donned "Rose-Colored Glasses" (which distort hues and colors to things they arent...) and soon thinking that Green was "The One." Now Orange and Green were best of friends had a lot in common with each other and weird qurirkly similarites in their pasts and also could pretty much read each others minds... but they were just that, best of friends. And the reason they stayed that way was Green had somebody else already. Not long before Orange came along Green had Blue-Green "fall into her lap" and even though he wasn't directly in Green's life everyday like Orange was, he was there and Orange knew this and dared not cross that line. All the while still thinking she was "The One" this ate Orange up inside more and more every day because like I said he wouldn't ever cross that line and he could tell anything to Green everything except that one simple thing that every boy yearns to tell a girl, because that would be crossing the line (even though he figured Green already knew...) Orange had never met Blue-Green but he was pretty sure he didn't like him. So for well over a year Orange suffered with his "Rose-Colored Glasses" on the whole while thinking about things he should and thinking about how f-ed up his luck and his situation was but never daring to cross that line.
Eventually it became very clear to Orange that Blue-Green was not going anywhere and was only going to become a bigger part of Green's life and that Orange really didn't fit in the picture like he imagined with is "Rose-Colored Glasses" on. Orange really beat himself up over his disallusions and eventually it got to a point where both Green and Orange knew what each other was thinking and then talked about it and though it was hard for both sides (for different reasons) they realized this is how it was and decided to be closer friends because of it. After this Orange and Green actually drifted pretty far apart unfortunately and had lots of miscommunication and long periods of not even talking definately a hard time between friends. Maybe both were at fault but I personally think Orange could be blamed for most of this pain and trouble between good friends. But as Breda's Law states: "Things have to get worse before they get better" and also as Orange believes Everything Happens for a Reason and wouldn't you know it all this eventually only strengthened the friendship of Orange and Green to the point I don't think much of anything could break that up now. But that's jumping ahead a bit...
During one of these extended breaks when he was not even talking to Green, Orange started spending a lot of time with a girl named Forest Green. Forest Green and Orange on the outside couldnt be more different based on outward appearance and general interests most people would never guess Forest Green and Orange could even be casual friends none-the-less such great of friends as they became... but that was all on the outside inside Orange found that Forest Green and him had a ridiculous amount of things in common suprisingly. Needless to say Forest Green quickly became close friends with Orange and they spent night and day together (but mosty nights) based originally situationally and then because they both made the effort to spend time lots of extra time with each other (sometimes very exclusively) But the weird thing is that Orange saw Forest Green as more of a sibling than anything else... the younger sister he never had, I'm not going to say there was never any attraction there but Forest Green quickly became someone Orange would never think of like that, and as a result hanging out with Forest Green did help him get over Green but not fully... to do that he had to fall again for someone else and point those "Rose-Colored Glasses" in another direction.
About this time Pink came into Orange's life. Orange tried really hard to bring Pink into his circle of friends too this was no small effort on Orange's end... Orange fell for Pink and really hard. There was a lot of things Pink had in common with Orange again very scary and very kool for the fact that Orange could connect and had a great time hanging out with Pink. There was a lot of reasons why Orange couldn't hook up with Pink but the biggest was because Pink had her on set of tinted glasses on and hers were looking in a different direction than Orange. Orange quickly realized one of the main reasons Pink would accept his invitations to hang out and do things with his group was not because she liked him like that but because it could help her get closer to the one on her mind... Blue. Now I don't mean Pink was scheming or using Orange at all but Orange quickly figured out that she didn't see him as anything more than a friend with common interests and goals, but knowing this Orange was still hung up on her to say the least. Blue was pretty much everything Orange wasn't and the worst part is he didn't seem to return Pink's affection at all... so as Orange and Pink got to the point of discussing her interest in Blue it only made the situation worse for Orange as he dug himself deeper into that "friend role" which he didn't excatly want to be in and definately didn't help him on the romantic front. And retrospectively he made it painfully obvious that he liked her to the point that it seemed to him that all of his and her friends knew it pretty much everyone knew of Orange's interest in Pink it seemed except Pink herself. That didn't help. One really good thing to come out of Orange's interest in Pink is that he finally got over Green and as mentioned above this is where they made up and are now in an unbreakable state... :)
But as the second year in his unknown land ended it was time for Orange to go back home and leave his new land for a little while living again with his pastel family not a bad thing but he just had to deal with it for a couple months before he could go back up to his special land again. During this time Orange had no plans for finding or looking for love at all just self improvement and personal betterment but as I'm sure you wouldn't be suprised by things just kind of have a way of crossing your path in life, some quicker than others. When Orange left his land he was still hung up on Pink truthfully but had come to terms with the fact that they weren't going to get together at least anywhere in the near future... While on this break from where he wanted to be spent in his original land Orange met two new hues who caught his attention in a suprisingly short amount of time. The first one I will mention was Red-Orange. Red-Orange really suprised Orange the chances of them meeting seemed rediculously small and Orange really wanted to believe that them meeting really had some spectacular reason or deeper meaning behind it because they were so similar and seemed to have such close to parallel lives. But apparently Orange was wrong because Red-Orange already had a God-knows-what hue already in her life and the news of this officially crushed any deeper meanings that Orange had assigned to her. Orange still belives their lives will cross again and the real reason for their meeting will come to clarity someday... but only time will tell.
The other hue that Orange met around this time is a girl named Yellow-Green. The situation with Yellow-Green and Orange is quite an ironic one because Orange was really hung up on Red-Orange when Yellow-Green first came into his life and Orange thought at the time that it was really obvious that Yellow-Green was into him, but Orange overlooked this because of his glances and interest in what he thought was his new "The One" named Red-Orange which really over ran anything else. But of course due to Orange's awesome luck in the field of love (as outlined above) that didn't work out and Orange then started feeling out the possibility of Yellow-Green (like the desperate fool he seemed to be.) Yellow-Green is definately not Orange's ideal hue... but he wondered if that was just aestetically and decided that he was better than that and he should at least get to know her and see what he could learn about her. And wouldn't you know it, Orange had quite a lot in common with Yellow-Green... and although they had only recently met and Orange felt he didn't really know her still he easily got wrapped up again and then shifted interests to Yellow-Green's direction... but as luck would have it (or maybe as a lesson in karma to Orange) this is exactly when Yellow-Green started showing signs of uninterest and actually turning Orange down on his attempts to further connect with her. Not to say that it's still not impossible for Orange to get together with Yellow-Green but as I said he was only back in his homeland for a couple of months and then returning to his new land where he can continue his following his given direction in life. The another ironic thing is that even though Orange is leaving to his far off land, Yellow-Green is making her first trip into the unknown shortly after in an attempt to find her own direction for later life... and athough her new land is not the same as Orange's they are neighboring territories... so not to give any false hope to any of you readers but Yellow-Green and Orange have made plans to meet up in the future traveling to each others new lands. But Orange has accepted as he should have that he and Yellow-Green may never be anything more than friends and understands that maybe he just seemes to go crazy with his "Rose-Colored Glasses" on... Now unfortuntely there is no happy ending to this story for Orange. Maybe it's Orange's fault or just his bad luck but Orange will have to keep wandering through life till he can meet that one hue that is perfect for him and cares for his hue just as much as he her, but you know that's not why one should live exculsively and even though Orange has a problem removing his tinted glasses he shouldn't be living just to find this abstract idea we call love.
Not exactly how I wanted to end it but I guess it'll due for the first draft or maybe just the first part... who knows... so, why did I just spend all this time writing this story over a few hours instead of packing like I should have? I dunno I guess it's just driven by a few things if you haven't heard yet I've totally gotten my ass kicked by the movie 500 Days of Summer a few times now and though it hurts I really do enjoy it far more than I thought was possible and it's safe to say the movie crosses my mind daily lately... and a good quote from it is that the best way to get over a girl is to turn her into literature that and the lyric that "I read with every broken heart we should become more adventerous" so mostly these two quotes really are the reason for this long story, though I've had the idea to do this for a while now... it seems, I just never got around to it. But yeah a hell of a lot of stuff going on in my life lately and what is the one subject that seems to consume my thoughts lately? a girl ironic yet again. So yeah this is an attempt to get the ol' head back on straight again, lord knows with out it straight I don't think things will be starting off great with the new semester starting. Also I want to say that I apologize if anybody connected with this too hard or if you take offense to anythign you read here today that defiantely was not my intention ans I hope you all realize.
