Yes. It was weird. I was 20, it was like 3 am and my BFF and I were stumbling drunk across Jackson Square to catch a cab, and this guy jumps up and stops me, insists that he needs to read my palm. I blew him off, but he kept insisting that the powers that be were telling him to give me a reading. Finally I was like "Listen dude, I have just enough money for a cab, so please let us pass". Then he tells me that he'd do it for free because the PTB were telling him I needed to have a reading.

So we sit down and I tell him again that I really have only enough money to get home. He waves me off and starts the reading. Tells me that storms were brewing on my horizon, and that if I was brave when they passed I'd be in a very different place in my life. That I should expect a very hard, scary time that would lead to a big cross-country move. That the guy I was with (technically an ex at that point, but it was complicated--we were still very much involved) would break my heart again and betray me, but that it was okay because it would lead me to the right man, that I just had to be patient.

So he finally finished, and I went home, passed out and didn't think much more of it. I was living in New Orleans, and exactly two weeks later Hurricane Katrina hit. The ex, who I had still been living with, finally consented to evacuate with me to my parent's house (close-by, but out of the "bowl"), and then went to TX with me. Soon after, he decided to leave and move in with the other girl he'd been sleeping with. I took a scary blind leap, got on a plane for the first time in my life and moved to PA with only a duffle bag of clothes and toiletries that had been taken from our apartment. I stayed with the mother of a friend for a month, and then answered a craigslist ad for a housemate in Philly--who turned out to be DH's best friend.

I still think the whole thing is mostly hokey, but that experience was...weird, to say the least, especially looking back at it now.

I want to sooo bad but DH says it's a waste of money. I'm so interested in it!
