@anna: Glad it’s not just me! Sometime I think I should try to learn from my 5 year old who regularly says “I want to go to a different park, one I’ve never been to before”.

Found this very interesting. Paul is a chronic self herder and it drives me insane. I very often try to forbide him from repeating the same, albeit harmless, behaviours.Usually my cries of “Have something different” are to no avail.
Infact in the UK he would take the same 3 different pieces of fruit to work and have each piece at exactly the same time through out the day.I tried to encourage him to rebel and have his orange at 3 but….ho hum! Guess its hard to remove oneself from your own created herd.

Big fan of self herding. Acts as a temporary white bubble of light which protects oneself from the dark cold reality that surrounds us. As we self herd all at once everything is cosy and familiar a lazy boy appears along with comfortable slippers and favorite sloppy joe. The experience can be further enhanced with ipod and newspaper.

New and different on the other hand is a deeply suspicious character likely to slip you a “Rohy” and dash off with your wallet leaving you head butting the fence in a Rushcutters Bay park.
