fortune teller

i saw a tarot card reader today.

she had set herself up on a corner of a bookshop that was about to close. and since i had always wanted to have my future read, i leapt at my (very expensive) chance.

i came away from the table with only a hazy recollection of what the lady was talking about. at one point through my 20 minutes, i remember wishing i had brought a pen and paper with me to write down the things she said. a voice recorder would have been even better.

but oh wells, all i have now is my very unreliable memory.

i asked her about my career. the younger me would have found this exceedingly odd. i always imagined myself asking more frivolous stuff, like about my love life.

but i guess the pressing question in my mind is whether i really ought to practice law, or should i be doing something else.

it was the reader (i shall just call her "reader" because its fewer words and letters) who suggested i ask these questions (if i continue with law, will i be successful? if i change fields, what will it be and when will i know?) when i told her i wanted to ask about my career. it slightly surprised me how she managed to get to the root of my problem so explicitly when i gave her minimal information. but then again, she's supposed to be clairvoyant after all.


as for the answers i received, they were much more vague.

all i can remember is that she said if i did stick to this field, i would find success. but if i did change fields, i too would find success. (yes, i do think she might have been playing it safe there) but she did say that i might have problems with the oncoming exams (a not so good card), she also mentioned traveling. that i might take a gap year off next year or something. and err... that when i was done with traveling, would be offered a junior position somewhere, but it was not in the UK.

what else... hmm...

she mentioned me meeting a guy next year who would be instrumental in deciding which field i should go into, should i decide to change fields. this guy could also be a romantic interest.

she kept saying that she sensed that i was a romantic. and at one point, when we were asking about how successful i would be in law, she suddenly burst out saying something along the lines of "would you rather just get married and have children??" which kinda surprised me, but i did find myself nodding. LOL
and she said she saw me marrying in about 4 years time with 3-4 kids. hmm... random.

she also said that i could consider journalism. she kept asking if i was creative. i didnt really answer that though because i didnt think i was particularly creative.

gosh, i really cant remember what else she said.

oh ya, she asked if i was the visual type of person. like i would see things and realize things that others usually wouldnt think of. then she gave the example of sitting in a train opposite a guy with funny ears and noticing the ears. i said yes. but on afterthought, wouldnt most people?

before we ended, i suddenly asked if she could see my aura (it was in the pamphlet ok!). she said mine was pink and orange. pink was good stuff like charisma, but orange was stress. hmm... i never thought of myself as particularly stressed. :(

and i guess thats it!
