Saturday already. Plus we’re fast approaching the end of July. Time is flying … like an eagle … to the sea … fly like an eagle let my spirit carry me … oh won’t you? Wait. What? Where am I? Oh ya, today is #SoCS. Linda writes and I copy paste Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “color/colour.” Use it as a noun, a verb, or pick a color and write about it–use it any way you like. Have fun!
Hmm. Think, think, and think. Color. Another song is percolating in ye ole noggin. Color My World was a song written by some 70s group that I cannot name and won’t google to avoid rule breaking. Color My World was played at every high school dance I ever attended. If you were lucky, you had a sweetie and they asked you to dance to this song. It was usually the finale. In particular, I remember one dance, last song when I was out of the floor with someone who I was crazy about. Only to look over and see my BFF, making faces (like ugh or gag) over her partner’s shoulder. Ah the sweet, sweet memories. LOL.
When I started working, I met a fellow catholic school alum who remembered Color My World from all her high school dances. The difference is she hated that song! Viscerally. And me being ‘monkey see, monkey do’, my liking of the song faded. Now as I sit here and type, I’m semi-swaying lalalalalalalalala color my world asshole with hope lalalallalalala of hating yooouuuuuu. Haha! JK. Or not. Only the shadow knows. Hahahaha.
Whew! Color me done, finished, complete … with this nonsensical whatever this is … until next week when I’ll be back in living color. Wishing you only sunshine and rainbows. How’s that for colorful?
To join in with this polychromatic group of Saturday Streamers, here are the rules and ping back.
As always, more to come.
I visualized “…..Only to look over and see my BFF, making faces (like ugh or gag) over her partner’s shoulder,” like a scene from a funny movie. Good stream! 🙂

I enjoyed this,Jill. BTW how do you get videos to play on your site. Every time I try I just get a notice to play it on YouTube

I have no idea what I am doing most of the time. There is a block specific for YouTube which I pick from the list and paste in the link. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

I went to my girlfriend-at-the-time’s prom, which was not called “Colour My World,” I think because the sister of the guy who wrote it was in GATT’s class and thus at the prom, and she probably didn’t want to hear it. True story.

Oh wow. I believe it. She could’ve gone the other way for the attention. The song was very popular.
