korean fortuneteller

so kmom thought it would be a good idea for me to go see her fortuneteller before my birthday. so i got up early (actually set my alarm.. 9am.. shut up it's early for me) and jumped on the subway to go and meet her.. she took me to this little house to meet this ajumma.. she is buddhist and did my reading infront of her shrine on the floor of her apartment.. heh, i could smell burning sweet potatoes the whole time..

she did a little reading for kmom first.. then moved onto me.. she had her buddhist beads and spun them in her hands while she whistled.. the first thing she said was that my mom and dad didn't live together.. i found this strange, not because it was true.. but when i went to see a psychic in canada a few years ago this was her first comment as well..

so i gave her my birthday and name.. and she said i was supposed to be born a boy.. oh, so much becomes clear to me now! all those 'jenny you're a boy trapped in a womans body' comments ring true.. heh.. so because of this i will play the role of a son to my parents.. errr.. i should remind you to consider this whole reading from the perspective of a korean older lady.. so the role of a son means i will be the one to support them physically and financially..
she also said that i'm incredibly intelligent and literary.. had i been born a boy i would have been a govenor or professor (though she claims i still may be the latter).. intelligent, ok.. maybe.. literary.. i dunno.. i like books, but i can mostly just fake my way through literary conversations.. she mentioned nothing about bullshitting capabilities.. in terms of personality i'm kind, generous, open-minded, independent.. too kind sometimes that i am easily taken advantage of.. and so generous that even if i do realize i'm being taken advantage of i will let it happen.. frick this woman was giving me my moneys worth..
i make my own money, and do most things without the support of anyone else.. i will always work, i would not be happy as a homemaker (to me i say duh, but to the older korean lady, in korea this is a surprise)

i am to have a lucky few years (my horoscope actually says this as well). teaching is good for me, i'm good at it, i could open a school she says. though i like to work with kids, i would find it more challenging and therefore rewarding to go back to school, and become a professor.. i will live abroad for 2-3 more years so i will pick up some more languages.. i'm not necessarily staying in korea..

i am very healthy - though should be careful about headaches and re-injuring myself.

i don't have marriage luck until i'm 28. this works out well since i'm living abroad for 2-3 more years. she apologized for the late date.. heh.. 28 seems all too soon for me, especially in terms of marriage.. i didn't want to know about having kids..

i asked about some other people but i don't want to write anything negative on here and she really wasn't as kind about the futures of others. but... of course i asked about blake first...

blake:
was to be born a girl. hehe.. our genders were switched... he is sensitive, sometimes immature, thrifty, greedy, kind, everyone loves him (true).. he will suceed at 37.. he could be an entrepreneur.. he should not marry until 27.. if he marries before he will divorce..

she also started mentioning when people would die and i freaked out and screamed stop with tears in my eyes.. so i managed to get out without too much bad news..

mom:
knew she was on her 3rd serious relationship.. she said something about me having 2 father figures.. apparantly blake and i upset her a lot.. she should open a cafe/restaurant.. she has good cheekbones.. in a past life was the daughter of a god but had too quick a temper so is being punished in this life..

dad:
she actually didn't have too much to say about dad.. other than he didn't live with mom and that he was still single.. and that he loves me a whole heck of a lot.. <
anyways, those are not my words, they belong to someone else.. actually they are my words.. or rather translated words, reworded by me.. but the ideas are someone else's.. and i chose not to include some.. due to personal or negative nature regarding others..

so, it's my last day as a 24 year old.. while i was on the subway i was sitting across from this older lady and i couldn't stop staring at her hands.. and i just kept thinking, one day those will be my hands.. and i will look back, and it will have seemed to go by so fast.. so now i'm filled with this frantic urge to do everything i want to have completed in my lifetime, now.. i always go through this phase around this time of year.. but due to some sad news i feel it more so.. i'll calm down in a few weeks i think..
