I am...THE ONE! :dramatic music:

[Kusanagi]

Had an interesting one today that made me scratch my head, and smile inwardly. Also creeped me out.

Today was our President's Day sale, and needless to say, I was extremely busy. I'm the only one working, made a few extra hundred dollars (yay!) and overall had a great damn day, if extremely exhausting.

Except for this incident. It's early in the morning, and I'm writing up four seperate orders for a couple who want a combination of imported and domestic furniture, no small feat. So during the middle of it, a group of two guys walk into the store. I let them know that I would be with them in a second.

I let the buying couple know that it will take me a minute to complete the paperwork, and for them to have a seat and be comfortable. I'm buried in paperwork trying to get everyhting done properly when Creepy Guy comes up to me, and he looks like he's seen a celebrity, or something. I didn't think too much of it but looking back, he was staring at me in awe the entire time he was there.

Me: THE ONE
CG: Creepy Guy

CG: Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?
Me: Do you have a quick question? I'm right in the middle of writing this up, if it's a quick one I can answer it for you.
CG: Yeah, really quick :starts to walk towards a piece:
I take a quick glance at the buying couple and see they are talking. Why not, it couldn't hurt. I get up and follow the guy over there, thinking this will take about 30 seconds tops. CG turns and looks at me when we get about twenty feet from the desk.
CG: Well, I want to say that I'm not really a religeous person, I'm not really sure about God or gods, but I am an extremely spiritual person...
Me: Okay...
CG: As soon as I walked in here, your aura just blew me away. I can tell that you're confused in life, you aren't quite sure where you're going but your aura and spiritual power is the strongest I have ever seen.

I just stand there, looking at him. I'm confused but I do keep myself from laughing. I kind of want to see what he plans on saying, and I'm debating wether to mess with him or not.

CG: You have a destiny about you. You might not see it, but your aura is so much more than what you realize. Most people go through life but no, YOU :he steps towards me and I don't move: ...YOU are going to change the world.

CG's buddy is looking at me the whole time, but he just looks just like his friend does.

Me: Well, that's nice. Thank you.
CG: I have to know your name, I just have to know your name, can I shake your hand?
Me: It's Kusanagi. :shakes his hand:
CG: I just wanted you to know. We'll be back.

He turned around and walked out with his friend, both of them looking at me like Jesus had come out of the clouds. I just stood there, bewildered for a few seconds, and told the buying couple what had happened. They had overheard some of it and were eavesdropping, so they caught some of it. The woman said "Oh no, is our furniture cursed now?" I looked at her and said "Only if you piss off the child of destiny." We all laughed after that but looking back, it's wierd.

(Strangely, it's not the first time I've had people come up to me and tell me that my "aura" is insanely powerful, even dangerous. I have no idea why.)

3 questions:

1) Anyone else have any experiences with crazies like this? The guy was totally serious, and he didn't look like he was on anything.

2) How should I mess with the guy if he overcomes his sense of awe and my "aura" grants him passage through the front door?

3) VEGETA, WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVEL?

3) VEGETA, WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVEL?

it's over 99 thousand! *crush*


aaanyway, i knew a girl that could read Auras, mine is very diffrent from yours then it seems, mine is earthy colors, and i'm a kind person


but.. i think i'd be really creeped out if random people came and did that to me o.O

[symposes]

You can feel my aura?! Oh god, they told me that thing would hide it... now the bad people will find me *whimper* Run, RUN FOR IT MAN BEFORE THEY FIND US ALL!!!!

[Geek King]

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

...now where'd I put that katana...?

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Keep in mind that this guy may well be a con man. Not saying he is, just saying it sounds like a set up to me.

[Boozy]

When I still lived in my hometown, there was a local crazy who would go around telling people that they had "good" or "bad" auras. The nature of your aura was entirely dependent on how long you let this nut job wander around your place of business without calling the cops (she'd harass other customers in our restaurant when they were trying to eat.)
So I had a "good" aura, because I'd pretty much let her do her thing as long as the other patrons were getting a kick out of it.
She once offered to give me a tarot reading, but I didn't know what the hell she was talking about because she pronounced "tarot" like it rhymed with "carrot".

I know the song don't know the name of it because hilariously I heard it through this.

[Fera Festiva]

*Is really embarrassed to know this*

I am the one and only was a hit for Chesney Hawkes, who had no other major chart successes in the UK but did have a very large mole on his cheek.

[Becks]

I think it would be beyond awesome to have someone (authentic?) tell me about my aura. That would rock.

heeeheee
*gives FF a big ol cookie* that is right! And believe it or not, he's still churning out albums!

Back on topic, I once went for an aura reading. But as I got hooked up to the machine, someone came into the room and "Sucked" my aura dry. Methinks it was a scam...

[Kusanagi]

The guy didn't ask for any money or anything, but it was certainly wierd. I do hope he doesn't feel a desire or need to come back in, but part of me does.

Considering I could let my mind slip into insanity at the drop of a hat due to the wonderful mental problems I've had over the years...think he could sense it?

I've always believed in meditation as a way to calm oneself and train one's body and I do believe in chi manipulation of the body. Not enough to fly or fire an energy blast by any means, but I have some sort of control over it I learned when I was in the hospital with a broken neck when I was 14. When you can't move for a couple of weeks, you learn other things to pass the time :-)

A girlfriend after this broke up with me, and we tried to be friends afterwards. She claimed to be Wiccan (although I'm sure her and her other teenage friends were doing it to be cool and not actual practicing members) and none of her friends even wanted to come near me, claiming that my "aura was so strong that it hurt them."

Maybe there IS something to it.

[NightAngel]

I've been told all kinds of things like that. "Aura readers" have told me these things:

I've been told that I am destined to be a Saturday's Warrior. In other words- I am one of God's chosen to battle in the End of Days.

I've been told that I am one of a Triad (or pyramid) of spiritually powerful people who will bring about The End of Days. (Strangely enough I've heard this one from more than one crazy.)

I contain the power to open a portal between Hell and our dimension. Why I'd want to do that is beyond me...?

And a number of other random things- those three are just some of my favorites. There has been several times where people who don't normally see Auras tell me they can see mine. They usually seem pretty freaked out about it.

And yet, for all this I'm still just sitting here goofing around on the internet...

I guess I'm just too lazy to actually start the Apocolypse. Sounds like a lot of work.

[wagegoth]

And I thought it was really weird, about twenty years ago, when my new car mechanic suddenly grabbed my hand and asked me if I had ever heard of the Rosicrucians. He then immediately became my ex new car mechanic.

Now I really want to meet Kus and NightAngel, and bring along my friend who does see auras, and cleanses them, too.

I have sewing patterns for the Neo and Trinity coats, if you're interested.

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

What exactly does "reading your aura" mean, and what in the world could it possibly do for you any more than reading a newspaper horoscope?

Someone "read" my "aura" once. Said it was blue. She said I was creative. I smirked. She said she could "read" that I believed that only Jesus Christ could do magic tricks or whatever the hell she was saying. I smirked again, and she said, "Oh, wait, I see that you are a skeptic."

Amazing insight she had.

There are no "auras," people. Only odors. Seriously, that says a little bit more about you than a crayon-color ghost around a silhouette.

She wanted more money to tell me more amazing information. When someone reveals information to you that you yourself supply, it's time to put away the wallet.
