Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

"Poised Taupe"

I really prefer "Socially Awkward Taupe", it's more subtle.

Poised taupe? Dear lord. (It's a darker color than I would've thought, but...still. If that's 2017 I'm not super interested in the future)

Too much work. Not enough motivation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Poised taupe" is certainly my phrase of 2017!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That color is not beige; beige would be inoffensive. That color actively repulses me. It would make me angry to be in a room painted that color. If PMS were a color, it would be that color.

I like the color, but that's probably because I've gotten used to it over the past few years that it's been popular. (It's basically a darker "greige," right?) A thing I recognize about myself is that I eventually like most popular things.

I think it is pinker than greige. I actually like the color too- I painted my apartment variations on that color in 1999.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I love me some greige. At least on my nails.

Taking another look at the actual color, I find myself once more standing with Zen.

That color is not beige; beige would be inoffensive. That color actively repulses me. It would make me angry to be in a room painted that color. If PMS were a color, it would be that color.

That color makes me twitchy. A lighter beige/off-white is a good background for bright pictures and things, but that color is just an oppressive lurking thing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I kind of like it. But it would depend on what other colors were in the room.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

When I was a kid (5 to about 12), my room in my parents' house was almost that color. Only darker. When we moved in, my mother was on a beige kick and almost every room in the house was wallpapered in some variation - light beige with darker designs, medium beige with little rural scenes, and my room - solid dark. I remember once complaining that it was brown and my mother told me it was cafe au lait and I looked at her and said, "Mom, it's BROWN."
