1. If you were a crayon, which color would you want to be? Hot pink. I think the specific name is Shocking Pink but I could be wrong.
2. Which color do you think you would be regardless of what you wanted? White because no one ever uses it.
3. Would you rather be used and get blunt, broken and lose your wrapper, or not be used and stay pristine? Be used and get blunt. It means you're liked more.
4. Would you rather be in a small set of crayons or a large set? LARGE! The 96 pack.
5. Would you rather be Crayola, or a different brand? Crayola all the way. Definitely not RoseArt, they're terrible.

[1]It seems like a reference to Pocohauntus, right?

I'm an idiot, I thought it said "wind", not "wheel" hahaha. And I can't spell either.

1) Green. Kelly Green.
2) Probably... dark blue. Since that's the color I wear the most. Hmm.
3) Used and abused — those are the crayons that get the love. (Okay, and abuse. But hey, people'll fight over me!)
4) Maybe large — more friends! Or small to be more unique. But pfft, I think I'd rather choose friends. So yeah, large set.
5) Anything but RoseArt. Please, God, not RoseArt.

1. Something bright, like Lemon Yellow.

2. Probably some kind of horrible khaki color.

3. Ooh. That's a tough one. I think I would rather get used and blunt and broken, because that would mean I was a well-loved color. The colors you don't like are the ones that stay perfect.

4. Large set.

5. Oh, Crayola, definitely. They're the only crayon worth using.

1) bronze *_* or something equally marginally unconventionally shiny.
2) some crazy shade of purple!
3) the kind that's been used before but is still pretty. Like, the wrapper would be all dirty and multicoloured, but it would be freshly sharpened with one of those rockin' crayon sharpeners!
4) the omghuge kind with all the other awesome colours!
5) ROSEART NEEDS MORE LOVE. but my first love is and always will be crayola *_* the glittery kind. :P

1. If you were a crayon, which color would you want to be?
A bright, vibrant pink!

2. Which color do you think you would be regardless of what you wanted?
Probably a brighter blue- more down to earth than the pink, but still cheery, and reminiscent of the ocean. :3

3. Would you rather be used and get blunt, broken and lose your wrapper, or not be used and stay pristine?
Sexual innuendos aside, I'd rather be used to my full potential. I'd want a kid to discover new things with me- scribble outside the lines, draw wonky animals, and stick people. If I'm old and spent at the end of my life, hey, I'll know I've accomplished great things and meant something to somebody. It's better than sitting by and watching all the other crayons get used. Never be a spectator. ;P

4. Would you rather be in a small set of crayons or a large set?
When I was little, I LOVED the large sets- they felt like such a treat to me. Even so, I think I'd rather be in a small set. If you get stuck in too big a crowd, you get lost (as opposed to the small set- I'm not much of one for crowds, but I love small groups of close people <3). Not only that, but crayons in small sets are more likely to be used. They're more exploratory- working with limited resources always provides interesting, sometimes inspiring results. :3

5. Would you rather be Crayola, or a different brand?
Of traditional school-kid crayons, YES, Crayola before anything else. <3

1. If you were a crayon, which color would you want to be? Violet

2. Which color do you think you would be regardless of what you wanted? Salmon

3. Would you rather be used and get blunt, broken and lose your wrapper, or not be used and stay pristine? used and get blunt

4. Would you rather be in a small set of crayons or a large set? large set- that way if I get picked, it means I'm even more special

5. Would you rather be Crayola, or a different brand? they have the best quality

1. If you were a crayon, which color would you want to be? I'd want to be a pretty pink! It's my favorite color. Or I'd want to be that cerulean blue color. That's probably my favorite crayon.
2. Which color do you think you would be regardless of what you wanted? I would probably end up being white. I tend to be ignored a lot and nobody ever wants to use the white crayon.
3. Would you rather be used and get blunt, broken and lose your wrapper, or not be used and stay pristine? I'd love to be used. Like I said I'm usually ignored and I hate it. I'd at least like to be semi used.
4. Would you rather be in a small set of crayons or a large set? Small set. The small set of crayons get used more. The large set usually has all those neon and metallic colored crayons and the regular colors usually get ignored.
5. Would you rather be Crayola, or a different brand? Crayola. The other brands suck really really bad. Especially those Roseart crayons.

Sometimes, as a young child, I would color with the white crayon primarily because I feel sorry for it! (I would use it over another color to make it "lighter".)

1. If you were a crayon, which color would you want to be?
If I was a crayon I'd be forest green because I said so.

2. Which color do you think you would be regardless of what you wanted?
...Forest green. It's so me.

3. Would you rather be used and get blunt, broken and lose your wrapper, or not be used and stay pristine?
I want to be blunt, a little broken and ripped paper. LIVE!

4. Would you rather be in a small set of crayons or a large set?
Large set. A large community of crayons because that's how the world is.

5. Would you rather be Crayola, or a different brand?
Who cares? A crayon is a crayon.

1. If you were a crayon, which color would you want to be? Maybe Burnt Sienna?


2. Which color do you think you would be regardless of what you wanted? Midnight blue, I think


3. Would you rather be used and get blunt, broken and lose your wrapper, or not be used and stay pristine? Used and blunt, like the black crayon. ("My candle burns at both ends/It will not last the night...")


4. Would you rather be in a small set of crayons or a large set? All 64 Crayola crayons...the classic set (1971 in my opinion)


5. Would you rather be Crayola, or a different brand? A gay man not pick the brand name, are you kidding? (you should be smiling here!)

Finally decided to join watch the community =)

If you were a crayon, which color would you want to be?
Forest green, no doubt about that.

Which color do you think you would be regardless of what you wanted?
Probably forest green, actually. Or a green like sage, a bit lighter.

Would you rather be used and get blunt, broken and lose your wrapper, or not be used and stay pristine?
I like the idea of being pristine because they're obviously the most attractive crayons in the box, however, pristine crayons tend to be those boring colours you don't like, so I'd rather be a used, much loved crayon ;)

Would you rather be in a small set of crayons or a large set?
A small, pretty set.

Would you rather be Crayola, or a different brand?
There are different brands?! Haha. I'll stick with Crayola!

1. If you were a crayon, which color would you want to be? Lime green. I most definitely use to pick fights with other kids in kindergarden because I would hog the lime green crayon. True story :P
2. Which color do you think you would be regardless of what you wanted? Stereotypically, probably black XD
3. Would you rather be used and get blunt, broken and lose your wrapper, or not be used and stay pristine? Get used up, for sure. The pretty crayons have no character.
4. Would you rather be in a small set of crayons or a large set? The colors in the big boxes were much nicer. Small boxes are boring.
5. Would you rather be Crayola, or a different brand? Crayola's cool, but Roseart's pretty nice, too.

I liked these questions. Creatively insightful ^^

1. If you were a crayon, which color would you want to be?

silver. I always liked the silver one because it fascinated me how it would look shiny when you colored with it one way, and look different when you clolored across the opposite way. yeah. I've always been easily amused. :)


2. Which color do you think you would be regardless of what you wanted?

burnt sienna http://www.crayola.com/colorcensus/americas_favorites/display.cfm?color=53

3. Would you rather be used and get blunt, broken and lose your wrapper, or not be used and stay pristine?

Use me and loose my wrapper.....wait. Is this a sex question?


4. Would you rather be in a small set of crayons or a large set?

Hummmm.... that nice medium square box of 48 was always my favorite....but of course the 96er has the sharpener!

5. Would you rather be Crayola, or a different brand?

Crayola all the way! They smell the best. Mmmmmmmmmm! I love the smell of a fresh box of crayons!
