Guys I don’t know who keeps up with home interior trends on here but can I be real and honest.

I do not like color drenching. Trims, doors, ceilings, etc. should be a color that COMPLEMENTS your bold paint. Painting the entire room is overwhelming.

I am all for rooms with color and different, fun colored doors and trims other than basic white. But please. For the love of all that is holy. Don’t color drench.

I like to collect certain things, but not actively searching for them, it ruins the fun for me

for example, I love weird contextless wiki pictures, like this one:

they're funny! every time I come across a new one I add it to my pile and hope I'll find more. however I'll never search on google images for them, or snoop wikis to find more. on google images there'd be too many of them. they'd lose their novelty, the fun of finding a cool thing in the wild. and actively searching them on wikis is boring and tedious

another example is stamps. I keep every stamp I get from letters (very few :( ), and ask my mother to give me hers. I could go as far as asking friends to keep theirs for me (I don't do it to avoid being annoying), and scavanging the house for old letters, but buying stamps online? being a serious collector and buying every new stamp sheet, and looking for antique ones? that's too much

I don't know how to call this. lazy collecing? passive piling? does anyone who read this relate?

My dodgeball friends which are my tennis friends which are my biking friends which are my skiing friends took me skiing again yesterday.

It was only my third time skiing after 10+ years of not doing it, and surreptitiously ("surreptitiously") yesterday was a pure powder day, which we couldn't have predicted when we booked the tickets. Given the absolute zoo of the parking lot, I figured "powder" would be like skiing on a dream.

I was wrong. By god I was wrong. Powder makes you work 10x as hard to turn and control. Powder turns the ski slopes into checkboard patterns of mounds and valleys which, if taken at high enough speed, must generate some kind of musical note. Like a marimba of bad decisions.

I was making noises I wasn't proud of. I was watching my life flash before my eyes. I was voluntarily faceplanting in the snow one time, because my options were voluntary faceplant now or involuntary faceplant later at a speed I could only reach against my own will.

My one validation was reconvening with my friends at lunch and seeing that half of them also looked like they lost a long argument against God at the peak of that mountain, shoveling fries into their mouths and buying $5 powerade because it's that or death.

I got better like I got a feel for it as the day went on. But the fatigue stays with you. More than once I tried to tell my leg muscles to do something and they informed me the sodium-potassium channels were out to lunch. Informed me they were on their union-mandated break, but Good Luck to me and my own. I stopped on the slopes more than once to catch my breath. I flopped right over in the snow at the end of a run. And in the middle of it. And in the middle of the part before the middle.

I escaped the previous two ski sessions without being sore the next day but I knew this time I was done in. Did things to my legs that go against the Geneva convention. Would reap my consequences when the sun returned.

Woke up this morning. Legs were fine. Not just "not bad" but completely, 100% fine. As fine as if I'd done absolutely nothing the previous day.

My UPPER ARMS are killing me though. From, as best I can gather, the gargantuan, mammoth effort of... like pushing myself up from the snow like 5 times.

I should stop skipping arm day.
