Sarah Green

WARNING: these things may or may not be true

Once upon a time, I was obsessed with the color green. Green things just started appearing in my life, I kid you not. Some of them were given to me as gifts; some were things I bought. Either way, I was surrounded by the color green. There was only problem: they were not all my green, the green I was so obsessed with. There was only one way to solve this problem: identify exactly which color I was so fond of, and name it after myself.
So, three or so years ago, Donna Perrott coined (I have ALWAYS wanted to use that word!) the term, "Sarah Green." It started as a small concept, and only a few selective friends and family members really knew about my color, and even my obsession. As the obsession grew, so did the popularity of the official color, "Sarah green." Instead of it being my color, the world started using the phrase "going green!" They stole my green, and changed the name! Everything turned green, from advertisements for organic foods to televisions. Now, I am in complete support of recycling to save our world, but did they have to steal my color?
For about 2 hours, this really bothered me, because I felt like it was my unique favorite color, and an obsession to say the least. But then I realized, now I can have a whole world full of green things! Everything I could ever want to buy comes in Sarah green- so I am constantly going Sarah green!
