The Hit List - Odd Questions and Requests

A sampling of some random questions and requests that float into my inbox.

Are you are a hippie? No. By the time I was old enough to know about hippies, they had become yuppies.

Can you read my mind? No. I read tarot cards, not minds. (My husband would beg to differ.)

How come my email reading wasn’t longer? Are you expecting George RR Martin style email readings? Email readings are designed to be swift and concise, not novels. Each email reading takes time: I have to set up, lay out the cards, take time to assess the energy and then type the darn thing out. It takes me a good fifteen to twenty minutes per question. Also, if you are familiar with my work, you should know by now that I am a concise speaker. Yo.

Can you tell me my middle name? No. Did you forget it?

How long does it take to go pro? Depends on the person and the level of dedication. There is no set timetable.

Do you Google me before our appointment? Abso-bloody-lutely not! Honey, I don’t have time for such nonsense.

Are you true? Huh?

Do you remember that last reading where you told me…... Nope, I probably won’t remember. It’s impossible. I do too many and I have a brain like a sieve. I can barely remember my own grocery list most days.

Are you seeing someone? I am married. Like, EXTREMELY married. I only have eyes for my husband!

I’d like to test your accuracy by having you answer a question about my past. <crickets>

Do you keep my info? Nope. All email readings, etc. are trashed immediately. I retain nothing. I prefer to keep a clean slate each time I read for someone.

Will you follow me on Twitter? If you are interesting and funny I might.

My ex is in a new relationship. Have they been intimate yet? That is none of your business. You may ask about your relationship with her but not her relationship with any others.

I went to a reader that was awesome. My sister didn’t think he was all that great. What gives? He’s probably a perfectly fine reader but not the reader for her. She needs to move on to find one that resonates with her.

Can I pick your brain? No. You cannot pick my nose or pocket either, thank you very much.

Can I expect 100% accuracy? You’ve got to be kidding, right? No reader is 100% accurate. We’re 80% at best because we cannot “see all”. The only person who will be 100% accurate for your life is YOU.

This reading is confidential, right? Yes. I’m like a priest that way. And I won’t remember anyways so no worries.

Can I call you Terri? NO. It’s Theresa and it’s spelled with an h (the correct way).

Toys from the Catalyst Ranch, a cool spot in Chicago. I went to hear author Christina Rasmussen speak on Thursday. Amazing location, amazing lecture. I adore her work!

Other stuff:

Ephemeral New York brings back memories from when I lived there in the 80’s. It used to be soooo sleazy and seedy. I miss that.

I love slang both old and new. Check out this Beat slang, daddy-o. (Daddy-O is my new favorite word.)

What city should you live in? Apparently, I might want to live in Paris.

LOVE this: Man poses as woman on internet dating site – barely lasts two hours.

My birthday falls on National Hug Holiday. What holiday does your birthday fall on?

The most important rapper for every major city. Wish we had a rapper from Milwaukee but I guess we’re small potatoes here.

Cameron Diaz wrote a book: The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body. It’s actually pretty good.

I am obsessing over Rebecca Minkoff’s bags. LOVE this backpack.

I am not a fanny pack person but this bag on Etsy from WCCouture. OMG

The Price of Publicly Offering Your Heart – great stuff from Jennifer Louden.

Speaking of putting your heart out there – I made this just for professional mystics of all stripes.
