Interior Planning, Wedding Planning, Planning Planning...

[alexmegami]

For some reason, lately, I have been wanting to own a home... mostly for purposes of decoration/interior design. I really, really want to put together my own living space - maybe not decide how the building itself is designed, because that would add a significant chunk to cost, but choosing paints, wallpaper, carpeting, flooring, furniture...

Along a similar vein, I want to plan a wedding. Mind you, I don't actually want to get married - the very thought strikes terror and amusement/bemusement into my heart - I just want to choose flowers, look at dresses, pick a ring, figure out meals that would accomodate my friends (and all your wacky dietary restrictions ;), choose a hall, figure out where to have a ceremony, seating plans, and everything else that I'm sure, for example, Meaghan could tell me I'm forgetting... ;)

I don't know what it is. Seriously weird. At least the interior design thing makes sense - I want a place to call my own, and that's not going to happen for a little while yet - but the wedding thing? NO idea where that's coming from.

If you want my psychological take on it, I'd say you're probably feeling like there's not a lot in your life that's in your control at the moment, and you want to be able to plan and accomplish something all on your own. Environment (see above comment about your job) probably plays a role, as well.

If you want just my general reaction, I'd say - had you thought about looking in to becoming a wedding planner? Weddings are big affairs, and lots of people will pay you good money to worry about details like dietary restrictions, colors, table arrangements, etc. Might be worth taking a look at if you think it's the kind of thing you'd enjoy doing.

That might be it. Although, as I told Katie, I haven't started at Michael's yet so I'm not sure we can blame them ;)

My sister asked that too, and... I don't think it's something that I could do very well; I have very set ideas about what I think looks good, and if someone wanted a style that went outside of what I like (I tend to like very classic style-type things, not a lot of frill and such) I'd probably be terrible. :D;

But... my cousin was talking about running a bakery... hmmmm...
