You're so vain, you probably think this Blog is about you

I love that song. 'Yourrrrrrrr so vain, you probably think this song is about you-your-so-vain..' -- I could go on and on and on, really.
That song came to mind this evening after I got home from work. I found myself standing in front of the mirror removing today's denim from my fingernails. Then I thought to myself, I'm standing in front of the mirror, cleaning my fingernails. Seriously. Do you ever find yourself just standing in front of the mirror obvlivious to everything around you, staring off into the abiss? Ok, just me, that's fine. I think I do this more than I am actually aware of. Then I thought, how much time do I spend in front of the mirror? How much time in my WHOLE lifetime have I wasted/spent in front of the mirror? Well for one, I wouldn't call it wasted time. I sort of enjoy getting ready. It's one of my hobbies. I'm not vain, or completely self obsessed; I just enjoy getting pretty. On occassion, I don't feel like getting ready, and on those days I simply don't (just for the record). I do take a while to get ready. I read in a magazine once that one is considered high maintenance if one takes more than an hour to get ready. I think that's always on the back of my mind, too. Sometimes I feel guilty for taking as much time as I do. Since I've moved to Alberta, I get ready faster -- which is nice -- but I wish that I was one of those people that didn't have to put a lot of time into getting ready (even though I enjoy it). But still, I feel guilty. Sometimes. Partly, the reason that I enjoy getting ready is because I feel as though if I look good, I feel better and thus have a better day. It all comes down to control as well. When I say control, I mean, like when (for instance) I make my bed in the morning. I feel as though that because it is made, because it is neat and tidy, and because I did it, I am more organized and in control of not only my bed, but my life. The same applies to getting ready. I am in control. Don't get me wrong, either. I'm not a control freak. I just like some sort of organization and structure in my life. Structure is good. It makes me feel good, personally. I recommend trying it. Try it tomorrow morning after you get out of bed. Make the bed. Be happy that you made the bed. It's the make your bed and feel better about yourself theory.
Therefore, in conclussion, I am not vain or a control freak. However, I cannot explain the whole staring off into obvivion thing, maybe I am just tired.
Goodnight and Goodluck all
