Allergic to Routine: Difference between revisions

This person gets bored extremely easily and needs to be entertained at all times. Unpredictability isn't just preferred, it's a necessity for this guy's sanity -- ifsanity—if too many days pass quietly, they start to lose their mind. They're the roommate who always "forgot" that it was his turn to clean up, but who dragged you along on his [[Zany Scheme|(mis)adventures]] and kept life so interesting that you ended up not minding. They're also the parent who uprooted their kids every time they felt life was getting "boring" and the spouse who signed themselves and their unknowing partner up for a mission to Jupiter -- anythingJupiter—anything, ''anything'' to avoid life becoming "normal."

Your sympathy for this character may vary. One one hand, they're funny, unpredictable and keep life interesting...but on second thought, you'd probably think twice about marrying this character or having them as a parent. They often have a crippling case of [[No Sympathy]], and assume what they want is what's best for everyone. The fact that their boyfriend is keen to take over the family business in his hometown, or their kid is sick and tired of having to make new friends every four months, will simply not compute with them -- lifethem—life's getting same-y, so let's get out of here!

However, they may not get as far as having a steady partner, far less kids, to worry about -- thatabout—that means commitment, and very possibly the dreaded prospect of domesticity. Many Allergic To Routine characters would rather remain free agents, never [[Not Staying for Breakfast|hanging around for breakfast]] after a passionate night or forming lasting friendships. If they do, it will be a major plot point.

* Whether as a doctor, a friend, a roommate, Gregory [[House (TV series)|House]] always winds up rewriting the rules to his own advantage--andadvantage—and sometimes breaking them even then. Not too surprising, as he's a [[Sherlock Holmes]] [[Expy]].

* In [[Western Zodiac|astrology]], Sagittarius and Aries. Aquarius is an odd case - most descriptions will paint them as apparently [[Allergic to Routine]], but actually a [[Creature of Habit]] - it's just that those habits will be very strange.
