But you're right, it may indeed be a bit odd. I just hate planning, when I plan things far in advance, it feels like being tied up, and I start resenting the things I was originally looking forward to. You can call me up at 4 a.m. for a good party going on at that very moment, and I'll probably show up. Asking me three months beforehand, however, will greatly diminish any chance of my showing up. I decided to go and study philosophy, a few years ago, less than a week before university registrations for that academic year closed.

There is no logic behind it, no rationale, just a love for randomness.
