Straight or curly?

Looking back at my last post, you can see that the hidden meaning of my name states that I am balanced, orderly and organised and I like my ducks in a row! This is so true! I like order and balance. Books have to be in alphabetical order, my paper supply is ordered by colour, my t-shirts are in drawers arranged by size and colour! The floor man had to re-lay the wooden dining room floor as it was not at precisely the same angle as the lounge!
So I have to admit that I am a straight line person! I don't do curves! My favourite shop bought card is an Edward Monkton design 'The law of straightness.'
I have it pinned to my notice board at school to remind those I work with of my funny ways! 
This principle of straightness very much applies to my scrapbooking. Most (if not all!) of my layouts are based on straight lines and are very geometric. For some reason I find curves and circles difficult to work with. I have a robo, so in theory I can cut perfect curve and circles, but the idea just doesn't appeal. So, are you a straight or curly scrapbooker, or am I alone in my straightness!?
(By the way, by pure chance, I have just polished off a bag of twisty chips - maybe there is hope for me yet!?)

And I on the other hand am the complete opposite and have to have everything curly, wavy. I think that is my defiance in me. I will however make straight cards to sell as there are a lot of people who like the laws of straightness!!! I can confirm dddeeebbbzzz is a definite follower of the laws of straightness.
dddeeebbbzzz I will have to respond to this in my blog tomorrow for all those curly wavy people! lol
