Choices

Each day, we are bombarded with options -- at the local coffee shop, at work, in stores or on the TV at home. Do you want a double-shot soy latte, a caramel macchiato or simply a tall house coffee for your morning pick-me-up" Having choices is typically thought of as a good thing. Maybe not, say researchers who found we are more fatigued and less productive when faced with a plethora of choices.

I am so boring.  I for one do not like too many choices.  I am happy to have one phone ... my Blackberry ... and stick to it.  I am happy to eat the same type of food, although I love to cook.  I like to have my hair short cos is easy to do and always looks tidy even though I sometimes may like to have long flowing locks. I like to wear the same types of clothes even though I often think I want to look a bit different, when I get some girlie type stuff on I really dont like me in it at all. I always wear brown eyeshadow and black liner and black mascara and I would wear the same lipstick if I could find one I really loved, instead I am always on the mission to find the "perfect" one.  I can blend the perfect one but I want one that I can just put on without having to remember what colours I blended haha.  I would quite happily wear a variation of the same outfit if I could but then I would need the weather to stay moreorless the same.  I am happy to just use a couple of handbags and can happily wear just a few pairs of shoes sandals or boots, even though I have absolutely tons in my wardrobe. If I found a couple of lovely pairs of earrings I could quite easily put them in every day instead of changing the ones I wear.  I want one really nice watch to go with the one I wear and would like just one gorgeous necklace to wear instead of having to think hmmm which one shall I put on. I could wear the same perfume every day as long as I had the body lotion and bath oil to go with it instead of having different smells! I like my car to be tidy and clean and keep no rubbish in it whatsoever.  My wardrobes are colour coded inside and my kitchen cupboards are oh so neat.  My books are all arranged in height order and I have to have an empty laundry basket at whatever the cost.  I have to have a particular type of diary which dispenses with the need for lots of bits of paper that I do tend to write on, and it has to fit in with my particular type of handbag which I like to use. I like various compartments  in said handbag where I can store my stuff so I dont have to keep rummaging around to find something quickly.  I cant stand the windows, glass or stainless steel, in my house to be smudgy yet I dont live in a sterile home and I wouldnt be happy without colour,  plants or dogs in it and I can cope with mess from them.  Its just me personally I like everything orderly and would happily have a "uniform" look.  Am I sad in doing this?  I dont know.   Is it all about control? I dont know. Yet I like designing stuff and making stuff ..... is that my alter ego?  The wackier the better.  With my old makeup business I didnt want to do wedding makeup, you give me a transvestite or goth makeup and I loved it, face painting great. I love tattoos, I love piercings, I love overgrown gardens and meadows full of wonderful flowers and wildlife and trees, but I like my looks and life without too many choices if you get what I mean. Hmmmmm it makes me wonder, am I just plain weird or am I looking for my own perspective on perfection mmmmmmmm.
