That would be a hasty conclusion,
as that would imply that I too am a planner. And I most definitely am not.

Oh, I am
very much so.

Well you would know,
but it doesn't follow from what you just told us.

I only cross my bridges when I come to them, but never act on impulse. Arbitrary decisions are impossible for me. Most of the time I'm pretty much blown along by the breeze.

eh?
I think you read more into what I said.

What you said was
Premise: I've never done anything on a whim
Conclusion: I must be a planner.

Does not logically follow.

The counterexample of myself was presented.

but I was talking about myself
not you. I have no idea what you're like.

Yes but you said "I must be a planner", not "I am a planner".
I can accept your word for that, but it doesn't logically follow from "I do not act on a whim," as you implied by the use of "I must".

too much thought there, love
it really doesn't matter.

EVERYTHING MATTERS
EXCEPT WHEN IT DOESN'T.
