So, when I spent the night at Envy's on Friday, Alyssa and I were talking about, I don't know, something, and the topic got onto comparative oracles, and eventually we decided it would be fun to hook up and have her do a tarot reading for me and me do an I Ching reading for her, and both of us do one for Envy, our token Christian. So that was what we did today - we went to the park and blatantly practiced the occult in front of tiny cute children. And then we got Chinese food. But really it was fun, and the reading I got was, well, very interesting.
She did two readings for me, actually, one to a question I asked and one that was just a three card past-present-future. They both said about the same thing, which I thought was interesting, and it seemed like an answer to my question, which I thought was more so. Basically, my question was if this first semester of college will be a positive experience. Both my readings said, pretty much, that I've been through some major changes, but right now I'm really strong and in a very good place, ready to seize opportunities and what not. And both said for the future, I have challenges ahead of me, mostly caused by my own fear, self-limitations, inability to take risks, etc. However, I do have the strength to break out, take a dive, whatever, and the rewards are worth it once I do. This, to me, sounds about spot on for the situation I'm in right now - about to leave for college, nervous about being on my own and having to define my life from now on, but I think it will all work out good in the end. I'm pretty happy with how the reading turned out.
On a completely unrelated and irrelevant note, after three (THREE!!!) weeks of desperate attempts and aborted downloads, I FINALLY have successfully downloaded Vanilla. That sort of thing really ought to be celebrated.
