Tarot Says...

I won't talk about what I did today. Not yet. But suffice it to say, it comes with feelings of vindication. So, I feel pretty good about it for a number of reasons, but at the same time, I'd rather not talk about it until the dust settles a bit. Yup, I'm at the centre of yet another dust-up. Amazing how that happens isn't it?

Anyway, something people might not know about me, I have a pretty short attention span unless I'm reading a really good book. Everything else, not so much. My school work is constantly punctuated with email checks, snack breaks, random internet searches, watching of TV. And when I'm watching a movie, I'm usually on the computer writing, or drawing, or playing with the Legos I refuse to give away. I need to keep my hands busy and focussing on one thing for too long tends to leave me feeling agitated. I blame it on the anxiety disorder but who the hell knows why I do what I do.

Today, while working on an assignment that's due tomorrow (yeah, don't like that prof much) I took a break to have an online tarot reading. Again, I don't know why. It just seemed like the thing to do. So I did. Have to say, it was amusing. I was particularly curious about the "love" reading given that I'm just... well I'm awful at relationships. Probably a reason I've never had one. Aside from my eccentricities and pickiness.

Here are my results:

These were my immediate thoughts:

1. Love is the Devil. Yes, that seems about right. Or am I to fall in love with the Devil. Holy crap, I'll be Ms. DeVil. I will not wear a puppy fur coat!
2. The Hanged Man represents my present. Okay, yeah, I can see that. Does that mean my love life is suicidal? Because that actually explains a lot.
3. Friendship and the Hermit. Well, that just seems like an oxymoron to me. Is the Internet insulting me? What the hell! You don't know me! Stop knowing me!
4. Ah yes! When I think of sex, I do think of a flaming tower from which the inhabitants must fling themselves from the windows if they have any hope of surviving. I bring new meaning to the forty year old virgin. Or STDs... Is that too phallic for a lesbian? Is it "flaming" because I'm gay? I take offence to that. So many questions. Also, I don't have STDs... WILL I GET AN STD?!

As you can see, I'm highly intelligent. I thought of these interpretations all by myself. Given that I'm not a tarot specialist, I decided I should see the Internet's interpretation. Just to be sure. 

I knew it! People don't love me at all! Right now, my deepest emotion is vindication! I was paranoid that this was happening but now I know! I bet the card is talking about Dana... Kidding! She's in psychology... she's at least mildly interested in other people. Wait a minute! Is that why she's interested in being my friend? I am on to you Dana!

So... I'm contemplating life and tripping? By tripping do you mean taking a trip or tripping over things? Because I'm quite good at the latter though I would prefer the former. I suppose I'd have plenty of time to contemplate life from a hospital bed... you know, which I earned after I tripped down a flight of stairs. 

Excellent. An excuse to stay away from family. Honestly, sometimes I do feel like jumping out a tower window when I have to talk to some of them. As for relationships, I still don't have one so no worries there!

These are the things I do. Do they make sense? No. Absolutely not. 

And that's the kind of day it's been in Laurenland. May the cards be with you.

Lauren.
