Yes sometimes too much choice isn't a good thing ... I'm frequently torn about where my character should live Ascadian Rose Cottage, Peral Palace, Solstheim Castle, Ravenloft, Asgard, Hellhouse, Lok'Ken Castle, Ghorak Manor, Enmesharra's Refuge, Kaleighs Retreat ...
As for role-playing your character, its not weird, Nor is writing a journal. There are several people who've turned their characters into a blog of sorts.
