Conforming to Jack's World

Here is a quote that I noticed because of Jack but stole from Hanah.

“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

If 韩寒 is the 64-color box then I would like to fancy myself as the 32-color one. Does it exist? And I will be adding new colors as time goes by and one day, hopefully, my box will match his 64 colors.
