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!

Date: 2004-01-14 01:13 am (UTC)You will have seven children by the time you are 40. Three will become bank tellers, one will be a shark wrangler for the Animal Planet channel, one will star on Lesbian Eye for the Transgender Person, and two will live a life of crime as Master Forgers until their arrest by Interpol in the year 2037.
You have a natural tendency toward homicidal megalomania, which you can keep in check by eating 14 twinkies a day.
On a Tuesday afternoon, you will dump your husband in order to have an affair with an Indian chiropractor. You will run away to the Virgin Islands and get a job working at a beach bar. But the affair will go sour, and you will return to your husband by Saturday around 11:30 AM, and your husband will forgive you.
You will never win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
You will never have sex with the following people: Michael Jackson, Howard Dean, Britney Spears, the LA Lakers, or Yassir Arafat. However, there is a definite possibility that you will have sex with one or more of the following people; Steve Buscemi, Benazir Bhutto, Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen, Steven King, and the Manchester United Football Club.
You have a generally flexible attitude when it comes to choosing restaurants, but your hardline stance on post-it notes loses you many friends.
At some point in the near future you will commit a major felony, but the charges will be dismissed on a technicality.
If your parents had given you gymnastics lessons when you were seven the way you wanted, you would have one four gold medals and three silver medals at the Olympics by now, and had your image on a box of Wheaties. But they didn't give you the lessons, so you're screwed.
There may be times in your life when you will give in to feelings of generosity, kindness, and taking care of stray animals. But I doubt it.
You are likely to make major life decisions by consulting a Ouija board or by reading coffee grounds at the bottom of a Starbucks paper cup.

Date: 2004-01-14 01:52 am (UTC)You will have seven children by the time you are 40.
Hmmm... one a year, if I get pregnant soon. Or maybe I'll go on fertility drugs and have septuplets!
...one will star on Lesbian Eye for the Transgender Person...
Well, out of seven, the odds that one of them is gay are pretty high. Though I was hoping for a gay son. He could really give me advice on my slash fic.
...which you can keep in check by eating 14 twinkies a day. And weigh 200 pounds? Nah, I'll take the homicidal tendencies, thanks.
On a Tuesday afternoon, you will dump your husband in order to have an affair with an Indian chiropractor... and you will return to your husband by Saturday around 11:30 AM, and your husband will forgive you.
Sweetie that he is, he probably would. See??? This is uncanny!
You will never win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
*slaps forehead* Why, oh why did I go to grad school in math and not chemistry???
there is a definite possibility that you will have sex with one or more of the following people: ...Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen... and the Manchester United Football Club.
Mary Kate and Ashley??? *drools* Ooo, I need somebody to slash me with MK & A. And the entire Man U club? Will Beckham be back in town, oh seer of seers? (Cos that would be really nifty...)
If your parents had given you gymnastics lessons when you were seven the way you wanted...
*bites fist* Damn you, mother!!! *sniffle* All I wanted was to be able to do a decent round-off, too.
I'm amazed, Mojo Jedi Rita! God, it's almost like you... know me!
