MILES to GO || before I sleep

( Tarot Reading )

Yesterday was the day of Divination, so of course I did a reading. And now for more random junk:

You Are a Red Pen

You have an eagle eye for detail, and this often means you end up finding mistakes in people's work. You may seem quick to criticize or correct, but you think accuracy and truth is important. You like to be involved in every project. You feel like you put the polishing touch on things. You would make a good editor, detective, or accountant. When facts matter, you're the person to call on.

Hm, most people on my FL probably know I have some interest in Tarot, and I've been a practitioner of of what I'm going to call "the predictive arts" for many years now. It's funny that I'm so attuned to my own deck, mainly because it started out as my sister's deck, and for many years after her death, the cards remained in a buffet drawer, forgotten. But when they were passed onto me, I could feel their energy -my sister's energy- and they've been with me ever since. I don't do fortunes that often, and for a long while, I had Hitomi (Escaflowne)-esque reservations against reading for myself. That's changed, as I'm not the Princess of the Apocalypse or anything, so when I'm feeling very lost and confused, I'll do my own reading.

I also believe in the teachings of Feng Shui, and I know for a fact that my room is just full of yucky energy (bad chi) right now, because it's a complete mess. Once my 40 hours of work this week are over, work will be back to 8am-5pm (hours that we're open), and my work will be limited... which is actually a good thing. Then I can sit down and finish all my open projects, or at least the ones that aren't so all-consuming. Then my room can get clean, and hopefully with it, there'll be restoration of inspiration and motivation.

Back to the Tarot though; I don't like doing readings in negative spaces, and it tends to reflect in my readings -they won't make sense or I'll be way off base- if I'm not in a comfortable environment. So instead of doing a physical card reading, I did a virtual one, with my Wise Tarot program. It's a free little program where you can select the decks (and even customize your own, if you have the time) and choose from a variety of spreads, and it's had amazingly accurate results with my personal readings in the past. Tonight was no exception. I figure even if it's a virtual deck, I spend so much time on this computer that my energy is just flowing through and around it, and if this reading is any indication, it's true!

( The reading )

Sometimes all it takes is a little "supernatural" push to get me going. It's funny how I was talking to Scott earlier, and he was saying how I had so much to get off my chest, and I didn't even realize it until he commented, and I realized I'd said so much. Even Steve came by and commented on how fast I was typing (admittedly, that's when I was doing my LJ entry earlier, after I stopped speaking to Scott for the morning/early afternoon), so I guess I do have a lot to get out.

And what pockyken said makes sense too, and I ruminated on that a bit when I got home (I decided just going to sleep for a while would help me clear my brain, and it did). Humans can do one thing at a time excellently, and everything else at the same time on a mediocre level. So if I focus on one thing at a time, and really throw myself into it, I can enjoy myself. Maybe life is like a fanfiction, and I have to finish one thing that I've started before trying to move on, or else I'll just have confusion, loose ends and blocks everywhere.

Well, I'm hoping I can finish WDKY24, so that'll be it for me. I'll catch up on LJs and emails, and then try my hand at ficcing for the night.
