\u201cLife 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!”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Someone called me complicated today. I asked them if we could agree to use the word complex, and that’s when the irony hit me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSometimes I wish that I was the weather, you’d bring me up in conversation forever. And when it rained, I’d be the talk of the day.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHigh School is like a spork: it’s a crappy spoon and a crappy fork, so in the end it’s just plain useless.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
