Psychic Powers or Complete Bullshit?
I have never been to see a psychic. I've never had my tarot cards read. I just don't believe in the crystal ball stuff. But I have to say I've always been slightly curious as to the process. I know the drill... make enough predictions and keep them general enough and you're bound to hit on something. Read people's facial features, hand gestures, body language and you can elaborate on what hits home with them. So a group of us decided to visit the Psychic tent at the festival this weekend out of jest. It was a first for all of us. Poor woman. She had no idea the poker face that was about to sit in front of her. She told me some basic stuff that would apply to just about anyone. Without any response from me she started to scramble with guesses... "you are married, correct?"... "nope"... "engagement then.. ahh.."... "nope"... "soon, very soon, I see an engagement"... "yeah... not gonna happen. You sorta need to be dating someone for that prediction to make sense"... "this person will be from your past... it will be a surprise"... "yeah, ok, moving on" Poor woman. No idea what she was in for. We wrapped up with her frustratingly asking if I had any questions. Of course I didn't. I just paid you to "predict" for me... why would I need to ask you questions? You should already know what I'd be curious of if you were really psychic, right? Again, that's the problem. These chain smoking ladies are just trying to pay their bills and put food on the table for their kids. They can't see into the future any more than a Magic 8 Ball really works. But it was all in fun. Now... as for my friend's prediction of a legal matter next year. Thankfully I work indirectly with one of the largest law firms in the South East. I got your back if you need it neighbor. LOL
Can't you tell I'm hanging on to her every word?! LOL |
