Speaking of social media, yesterday I was looking at somebody's Twitter and in the trending-tags sidebar was "#purpleandproud".
First thought: "since when does Twitter have an Amenta RP?"
Second thought: "is this something about bipartisanship?"
Third thought: "there are so many things this could mean, and now I am curious which of the myriad possibilities it is. *clicks*"
Apparently it's celebrating the anniversary of the founding of the University of Western Ontario, whose signature colour is purple. How the hell anyone is supposed to guess that is beyond me, but maybe not being guessable is part of the point. Curiosity got *me* to click, after all.
