Gacked from

For the record, I don't believe in this sort of thing at all. It's utter shite, IMO.

The results of my palm-reading:

You have a good imagination, and often exhibit sensitivity to others.

Heh. I'd like to think so, but then, who wouldn't?

At times, you may tend to be overly sensitive to criticism. You can be excessively cautious or narrow in your outlook unless you receive the right kind of encouragement.

That may have described me ten years ago, but I would never have survived grad school if it were still true. Isn't everyone sensitive to criticism, anyway? This is general enough to apply to anyone.

You have so many interests that you may have trouble deciding which ones to pursue. This can become a problem when you allow yourself to be overly influenced by other people's opinions.

Okay, the first part of that is definitely true. I am one of those people who could have bee a "professional student." I'm not sure about the second part though. Other people think I'm crazy for getting involved in so many things, and I generally ignore them.

The general flexibility of your character is a useful attribute. At certain times in your life, you may have romantic conflicts and difficulty maintaining friendships. You will overcome these problems after a little introspection.

What the fuck does that first sentence mean, anyway? And who isn't going to have a romantic conflict at some point in her life? And how the fuck else do you get over something like that, but by thinking about it?

You are a warm hearted person, with much love to give. You probably like children, and exhibit many playful characteristics.

Again, this applies to me, because it applies to practically everyone. There are complete assholes out there, but they don't like to think of themselves as assholes.

There may be times in your life when you give in to feelings of sadness or depression.

Do I even have to say it?

You are likely to make decisions based on intuition or feelings rather than intellect.

So not me. I over-intellectualize everything.

You are naturally charming and inclined to be flirtatious.

Well, yeah. Who would disagree with that description of themselves?

At certain times in your life, you may have romantic conflicts and difficulty maintaining friendships. These problems are not likely to last long.

Didn't I get that one already? I guess they don't last long because of my proclivity for introspection. Or because I'm so charming.

Sometimes you may have trouble discerning between thought and feeling. There are times in your life when your emotions can rule your behavior. When you are feeling sad, this can distort your view of life.

Oh, for fuck's sake. This is true for everyone.

There are inconsistencies in your energy level, possibly triggered by external factors or emotional changes.

Or triggered by lack of sleep, or caffeine intake, perhaps? Again, who wouldn't this apply to?

Although you have ambition, you do not always exert the energy necessary to be successful.

True for everyone. If it were otherwise, socialism would really work.

You have a basically strong constitution, and should enjoy good health most of the time.

Okay, that one's really true for me. I never get sick, even when MDH brings home weird colds from the corners of the globe. They had to get one right eventually. On the other hand, most people are healthy most of the time, aren't they?

You were probably given a good start in life by your parents. This could be based on your general upbringing, or on physical characteristics you inherited.

This could be interpreted in so many ways! Unless you had a seriouly fucked-up childhood, this one's pretty general.

You are likely to make many changes in the direction of your life. This may be based on interruptions due to health problems, or it may be that you just have trouble focusing your energy. The most productive time in your life will probably occur in middle age.

*snorts* I suppose there do exist people who grow up knowing what they want to do and then spend their lives doing it, with no change of direction, ever. But I don't know any.

A major illness or setback is predicted near mid-life. You have the ability to recover from this. The most productive time in your life will probably occur in the second half of life.

That's a prediction that's likely to come true, for most people. And even if it doesn't, I'll have long forgotten about this prediction, so it's a fairly safe one to make. Besides, the applet never asked me how old I was. For all it knows, I'm 80 years old. That prediction would be pretty useless in that case. The prgrammer is banking on the fact that the people who would actually do this little applet are computer savvy, and probably under 40.

There is a strong intuitive side to your nature, which may border on psychic or mystical ability.

Yeah, yeah, kiss my ass now!
