This will be a multi part series because, if it were all in one post, you'd get bored reading it very soon. But this is the story of 8 hours of my Friday night.
Comida Mexicana and Tarot Cards
I met up with a friend in DC tonight. I was reluctant to go, not because I disliked the person (on the contrary, I like him a lot) but because I have so much work to do and so little time to do it. Nevertheless, I went. Because everything happens for a reason. Once we finally found parking, we got dinner at a restaurant on U Street called Alero. While we both like lots of different food, Mexican was the first thing we'd agreed on--plus, it was close and I'd heard good things about it before. The wait for the food was long, but it was (sorta) worth it. My friend ordered a margarita and some guacamole and chips (he wasn't very hungry) while I ordered a grilled portobello mushroom in a tomato sauce (AMAZING!) and a giant salad. Dinner was great. (I didn't drink because, lately, I've been finding it extremely hard to force down alcohol... good thing, since it saves me money in the evening!)
Like I said, the wait for the food was long. We had a lot of time to talk (though I feel like I dominated conversation, which I always try to be mindful of doing) but talk was pleasant. Despite getting to the restaurant at around 7:15, we didn't leave until around 9:30. It was too early to go to a club (most open around 10:30), so as we were walking around, we passed a psychic. My friend insisted that we go, which is completely cool cause I like to get a reading done once a year--and I appreciate anyone who believes in tarot/psychics/horoscopes, or at least doesn't judge me for believing. I won't relay what the psychic told him since that's his business, but I'll break down what I remember of the tarot reading:
Life: As with most psychics, this one told me that I would live an extremely long life... if not into my late 90s, then definitely into my early 100s. She said that longevity was in my genes and that not only would I live long, but I would live an extremely health life as well. YAY!
Love: Next she said that love was not in my cards for the immediate future (well, for the rest of the year.) She said that I've had horrible luck with love and pretty much a nonexistent love life, and that that wasn't likely to change over the next several months, so I shouldn't stress about it. I guess I'm supposed to use the rest of the year to work on myself (?) and that would help me when I finally meet this person. She said that I don't know him yet, but that his name would start with a "D" and that we would meet in a very public place. Not like in a club or a bar... but somewhere completely unexpected, like a grocery store or library.
Career: I may be going out of order, but the next topic that I remember was her talking about career. The psychic said that I wasn't doing what I was meant to do. She said that I was meant to be in a leadership position. Specifically, I was meant to be in the military in the future. She asked if I had ever been in the military (I said that I had) and then asked if I'd ever considered returning. I said that I had considered it, but nothing more. She said that the opportunity would arise for me to reenter the military and that I should definitely do it. I was born to be a military leader, apparently. (I laugh a little when I think of all the people who are spiritually choking on their egos as I type this, and can't figure out why. For that reason, alone, I hope she's right.) She said that I'm not in the career I'm supposed to be in, and while I may make progress and things may go well, it's not permanent by any means.
Finances: Haha, so then she said that my financial situation would be set by the age of 33. She said that when I reach the age of 33, I would no longer have any financial worries. I wouldn't have any worries then, or for the rest of my life. I suppose all my current debts would be paid off and I'll be making enough money to never struggle for things I need. She said that I was blessed to always financially be provided for. So far, she's been right because even my worst has been better than 80% of the world's populations, sad to say.
School: Ugh, the worst news I got was that she said that for some reason I would be encountering delays in finishing my schooling. She said that it wouldn't been finished for another 3 years. I hope she's including graduate school in that because another 3 years in undergrad, and I might kill someone. She said in October I would find many distractions from my school work, but would eventually get back on track (seems like within the same semester.) Nrrrh. I REALLY hope that doesn't happen, but we'll see.
Family: The psychic said that my family life was relatively calm, without major disputes. I suppose if she figures my dad and I being completely estranged while living in the same house 'calm', then sure.
Children: So, as mentioned in the love part, she said that I would meet my true love in the beginning of next year (which, with psychics seems to mean anytime in the first six months...) and with this true love I would have three children. Then she clarified that these three children won't be biologically mine (no shit) and that one of them may not even be a human child, but something I love like a child. She asked me if I had any pets, and I said yes without saying what kind, and she said that it would be with me for a very long time. I guess that makes sense because while a goldfish doesn't last long, a cat can live to be 20 something years old. Yay for Serious!
Spirituality: She didn't say much about spirituality, other than over the next year as I come closer to meeting my true love, that I would been improving my own spiritual health and ultimately achieving a higher level of inner peace.
I think that's it. If I remember anything else, I'll edit the post and add it.
Stay tuned for Part Two: Drag Race and Fabulousness and Part Three: Visions and Oneness
