Touch My Crystal Balls

On April 10th, I am attending a tarrot reading party at my friend Kerri's house. Fifteen of us are going to get readings in order to find out what is in our futures as well as meet with a psychic. So I've been thinking, what things would I want to know about my immediate future? How about..."How much money is my therapist going to make off of me, before I quit going?" " or " is the guy who said this to me I will just shift into actor mode and pretend I am not thinking about you even though I will be. A LOT. as sweet as I think he is?" or "What are the winning powerball numbers?"

Obviously I don't take a lot of stock in fortune telling, but I do believe that some people may be attuned to knowing what is going to happen, or have psychic premonitions. For example, my father had kicked me out of the house when I told him I was gay. It was the last time we spoke. I never even knew he went to the hospital and was living in NYC when he died. The day he died (July 3rd), I woke up suddenly around 6 AM knowing he had died. I figured it must have been a dream, except that a week later, I received a letter from my cousin saying that he had died and was buried but that the family wasn't going to tell me. He died at 5:54 am on July 3rd. Coincidence? Maybe, but I do think we all have paranormal experiences once in a while.

I've never had a bad experience with Ouiji Boards, but it seems like most people I know have. I've heard it all from a radio turning itself on, to a friend falling into a trance. So I'm asking all of you out there in blogdom. Have you used a Ouiji board? What have your experiences been?
