Average Jane Chooses

I’ve stolen yet another meme, this one from MegFowler.com.

The choices we make sometimes say a lot about who we are. Sometimes
they say nothing about who we are. But it’s funny — even the totally
silly choices can end up dropping us into huge debates with our family
and friends.

(Actually, I think it’s more interesting to note the choices we
struggle with… or just don’t care about at all. And the ones we admit
to, as opposed to the ones we hide.)

But today I don’t want to hear about definitions or shades of gray
or your existential struggle or “I need to know context!” or qualifiers
or “well, generally I think I like this, but it depends…”

Just choose.

Scary, I know.

(And one more parenthetical remark for good measure. Thank you.)
