My thoughts on: Wallpaper, Texting & Spontaneity

Wallpaper

General thought: I think wallpaper is ok I guess but I prefer to paint I think. I've never put wallpaper up but I can tell you right now I would suck at it and there would be many-a bump and bubble and I'm certain Sean would ban me from the project.
