[NON-BLOG] My Tarot Card Reading

I bought two used CDs a half-hour or so I went to the tarot card reading Wednesday. They were Deep Forest's self-titled 1992 debut album and its 1995 followup Bohême. These two albums were among the first that I bought in a store--in my case, Sam the Record Man in downtown Charlottetown on the northwest corner of University Avenue and Kent Street a year before it closed--but my copies are still at home. More importantly, both copies are on audio cassette.

I bought the two albums at a reasonable price, because I wanted to hear the music that reminded me of my teenage years again, to make connections with that period of my life again, to draw out patterns. I'm rather fond of discerning patterns, you see, and I think that I can do a reasonably competent job at picking out patterns in my academic work and my weblogging observations.

However, I also think that I do a fairly poor job at picking out patterns in my own life. Witness how, a decade after I hit puberty, I only then realized a) that I had a sexual orientation and b) that it wasn't heterosexual. Like Lisa in The Simpsons episode when all of the teachers went on strike, I need external feedback to judge just what I'm about. I'm doing much better now than I did two years ago, of course, but getting input is always good.

( Why I went even though I'm skeptical. )

( As for the reading itself. )

A friend of mine offered to retest me on the cards--she does readings of her own. I think I'll accept.
