The Fankenstein Blog Challeeeengee!

Kind of a badass name, not gonna lie.
This challenge was put together by a friend of mine. It's made up of the severed bits of other challenges, and apparently exist as some sort of juicy, horrendous abomination of 30-day-challenge nature. To break it down:

Day 28: Something You Are Recently Proud Of
Day 29: Your Earliest Memory
Day 30: Things That Make You Think "What If I Had___Instead of___"

Some bits I like, some I dread. But overall it's the best one I've come upon. So here's

Day 1: The Meaning Behind Your Blog Name.
My blog name comes from the first H.P. Lovecraft story that I actually read. It's called "The Colour Out of Space". I like space, I like colors. But a whole new color that comes from the stars? There's a trip. However, this color does tend to cause insanity and suck the life from a family of innocent farmers. Go figure. Also, it may have become a sentient and sinister entity over time.

"The Colour Out of Space" is by no means my favorite Lovecraft tale. That spot's reserved for "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" followed closely by "the Call of Cthulu". But neither of  those really translated to a decent blog title.
