Been there for sure. So, I like vintage map patterns.I have a terrible eye for decoration.
Especially in the color black or monochrome. So I had the bright idea that in draping my place in this pattern I was being cool, trendy, and all around awesome. The first time I had a girl over after this, she looked around and without missing a beat, asked me if I was a big fan of cartography. She then commented on the designs as being "a bit dorky", forcing me to laugh it off and claim I lost a bet. I was embarrassed, ashamed, and hurt. And while I did indeed smash, on the inside I was crying. I had learned my lesson the hard way.
