"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though i've got a few missing. It's ok though, because i've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that i can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when i meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, 'hey, magenta!' and they're like, 'oh, you mean purple!' and they go off on their purple thing, and i'm like, 'no - i want magenta!'"
