I don't know if others are like this, but I LOVE consistency until I HATE it.
I'm very predictable day to day, and I like it that way. But sticking to the routine, I don't have to spend brain energy on basic things like What's for lunch today? (For example: on Monday, it's tacos.)
That being said, my favorite of anything is the one I've never tried before, or haven't had in the longest time.
I don't really understand it, because it seems very contradictory to me. I LOVE novelty and variety, but at the same time, I find repetition and routine comforting, and I'll be mentally uncomfortable all day if the taco place happens to be closed on a Monday afternoon.
