Whenever I am going to be in a situation that I've never been in before, I have to know as much about it as possible. I'm quite anal about things and I really like to be prepared. What I am basically saying is that I'm not very good at surprises. This is weird to some people, I suppose. A lot of people enjoy the excitement in the unknown.

Well, not me. So, as I attempt to embrace the brand new exchanges that are about to happen with me, let's talk about why I'm like that -- and maybe, why you are like that too.

Have you ever heard that song called "Control" by Janet Jackson? What about the song "No Control" by One Direction? Now both of those songs talk about a slightly different type of control, but the reason that I do not like the unknown is just that -- I do not like when I am not in control of a situation. I just like to feel like I have a complete understanding and am not being left out of any information. I don't know why I'm like that... Maybe I never will. But at least I know why I am freaked out about the things I have to do, things that I know little to nothing about.

And it's good, every now and then, to remind myself that I don't always have to be in control.

catch you later,

I'll call my own shots, thank you"
