I’m starting to have flashbacks of elementary school, where I was always the one to be “It” in tag, because I was slow and fat and easy to catch. Anyway, I guess the five things I revealed about myself over at It Had to Be Said didn’t satisfy Boddie’s curiousity, as I’ve been tagged again.
Kate, over at Finding Boddie, posts:
As lovely as Miss Michele’s reading are, and how wonderful, accurate and enlightening they are, I think it’s time all of us sit back and let Miss Michele talk about herself a little bit. Consider yourself tagged, Darling! Your meme, if you choose to accept it, is to write 5 obscure things about yourself and then pass the meme along to five others. Good luck, Miss Michele.
Since this is a tarot blog, I’m going to approach this assignment with a twist. I will draw five tarot cards and use each card to tell something about myself, my current situation, or my personality. I’m confident the cards that come up will be the information I’m supposed to reveal.
- Well, at first glance, this first card doesn’t seem like me at all. The Five of Cups indicates emotional poverty, loneliness. Ah, I’ve got it! As much as I come across as a “people person,” I’m actually quite comfortable alone. Large crowds and mayhem make me very tired after a while. I am also much better in one-on-one situations. At a party, I’m far more likely to retreat to a corner and have a deep conversation with one person, even if it’s someone I just met, than to be the center of attention, doing belly shots at the bar.
- Hmph. Another card I wouldn’t think of as describing me… The Queen of Swords, a cool and analytical woman. When it comes to writing–and mentoring new writers–I can get VERY serious. As an editor, I’m a tough taskmaster. I bet people didn’t know that about me!
- Okay, the Wheel of Fortune. This card comes up quite a bit in readings for me, and it sometimes predicts the hope of a new car… which doesn’t usually come to fruition. So here’s my secret: I have bad luck with cars! They just don’t like me. I take care of them, and they fall apart on me. Sadly, hubby has the same difficulties. I often say that if I could change one thing in my life, it would be to have a car that runs well and I don’t have to worry about constantly!
- Temperance… I love this card! It is one of my favorites in the deck. I once used it in a poem. This card warns the querent to practice everything in moderation, which is something I have a problem with. It’s either all or nothing. 18 hours writing or I don’t even turn on the computer. Spending all my time with loved ones, or retreating into the shadows to be alone. Watching everything I eat frantically, or throwing caution to the wind to enjoy all that tastes good. Yup, that’s me!
- The Ten of Pentacles symbolizes my life as it is now and my future desires. I would like financial security and to start a family. Okay, that’s not an obscure fact, it’s actually kind of run of the mill. But signs I’ve gotten lately show that 2008 will be the year for that to happen! I am a big believer in signs and synchronicity. Another big surprise coming from a tarot reader! LOL
Now, to tag others…

That was the point, dear! It was time for your alter ego to have a go at the questions! And I was hoping you’d do some kind of tarot reading to incorporate it all. Good job! Oh yeah, may I recommend something of the Honda make? Highly reliable and as long as you’re good to it, it’s good to you.
Boddie,
I’ve considered Hondas for my past two or three cars, but then wind up “falling in love” with something else. Also, they have a high re-sale value, which scares me away as I always buy used cars. All things being equal, the Honda may be the better value, but it also costs more.
A weird thing just happened… I noticed how the Queen of Swords came up, and that is not usually a card to describe myself.
Well, I finally got to cleaning today, and in my kitchen, amidst a bunch of papers, I found a misplaced tarot card from a deck I rarely use. It was the Queen of Swords.
The funny thing is, I really do feel lonely today. The holidays are so hard for me. This is my first Christmas after my sister passed away (March of this year) and her birthday was on New Year’s Eve. My mom passed away Dec. 26, 11 years ago. So this is a really tough time and, in spite of being surrounded by family and friends, both IRL and virtual, I am feeling very alone. The Queen of Swords, in my face, reminded me to face those feelings, accept them, wallow for a bit, but get on with life.
So I want to say thank you for tagging me today.
I still need to find three more people to tag however! LOL
I’m going through a really difficult time in my life right now. I know many people say they’re alone in the world, but in my case, it’s really true. No real family, no friends nearby. There’s a guy I really love but he just did something that really broke my heart (no, he didn’t cheat). On one hand, I’m not sure I can forgive him, and on the other, I was so sure he was the one. In spite of everything, he was my hope of a real family with somebody I truly love. So I guess my question is… is he my future? I know nothing is predetermined, but right now I don’t know what to do. I want to run away and never see him again, and I want to stay and try to get past this and build a future together. But if somehow he’s the wrong person, then maybe I should try to survive this alone and move on. Shenie
I’m glad I could help you out, however little that may have been. I hope it brightened your day, at least a little. I’ve found that the holidays are polarized, either they’re really good or just crappy for people with no happy medium. Hopefully things will turn around and you’ll get a burst of happy with weekend. I’m with you in spirit!
Dawn:
I’d have to suggest the honda route too. It’s not easy to fork out the cash on a used car with such a high resell value, however, it can prove to be a financial savior in the end. It’s a bit more out front, but less with the nickel and dime repairs down the road.
I do have a question to pose to the wonderful Alter-Ego, Miss Michelle, however… (Me and my timidness in asking a question and stalling here…) Is this marriage going to finally happen? Will our family finally grow?
Okay so that was two questions, posed into one subject. Hmph. Oh well, I can only give it a shot.
