crayons.

"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 girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and i'm like, "no - i want magenta!" - john mayer.

amen.
