Heh. No, it wasn't! I was thinking about things you've said about having to "grow a sense of entitlement", particularly around your birth experiences, and about the interplay between the positive and negative aspects of entitlement.
Mine's enormous, as you know, around most social/cultural things, but almost non-existent when it comes to certain types of emotional interaction. (Cf privilege, when I get around to writing about that.)
Also, while I'm commenting (scuse me, Libellum), in re "colour": I think of you as a person of ... high colour saturation, if that makes sense. You wear colour. You surround yourself with colour. You seem to respond strongly to it. I found your answer very interesting - I hadn't expected it to be so explicitly about health and function, as opposed to aesthetics.
