Like Lele<\/a>, I also received a Tarot Card reading. Ever since reading Michael Crichton\\’s Travels<\/a> (there was a short chapter on his experience with psychics), I wanted to see if a psychic could read me. When I was into the AOL thing, I ventured into a chat room titled \\”PSYCHIC AVAILABLE\\”. So I went inside and in my doubt, I barraged the poor woman with demanding questions such as, \\”What time will I go to bed?\\”<\/p>\n

But so yesterday. The online tarot reading through AIM (I don\\’t know how it\\’s really possible though if the guy can\\’t see me – all the information he got from was that I was asian, from California, and a gemini) was…interesting, but not as enlightening.<\/p>\n

There most interesting parts were when he was describing a present obstacle in my life (slightly edited):<\/p>\n

\\”Card 2 is your next major obstacle…Turns up an upside down Ace of Pentacles. You want to go somewhere and explore… travel in some fashion, but lack the means and the gear to do so. Well, so far I\\’m seeing that travel and movement might not be a good idea. There\\’s no sense of structure here in these two cards. Card 3 is the best possible outcome…I pulled out the King of Swords… I\\’m seeing this guy as a rival or an obstacle to be overcome. And if you\\’re to get what you want, you have to go through him…King of Swords normally represents a darker skinned or dark eyed man, one with a lot of personal power, but with very little emotional power. Much older, too. Not the future, the most probable event for right now, in the way of your goals. He\\’s not unbeatable, but there\\’s some growing up to do to get around him. He might be a father figure, I really dunno.\\”<\/p>\n

What I gathered this was that he was describing my plans to study at CMU in Pennsylvania. Most likely the man is my dad, who isn\\’t that optimistic about me moving across the country for a $60,000 degree that does not assure a future career.<\/p>\n

But oh so curious!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
