Cranky Large Medium reading, 16 September

Go away.

Why won't you be gone? What keeps you here, when it is obvious you are not welcomed? Do you have no shame? How can you stand there, when every other person present begs you to leave? Well? Oh, I see. You want something, and you won't leave without it. You want something from a hermit who has nothing but solitude, so you take that. No? You came to me for...? A reading. Now, why would I give you one of those? Because once you get it, you will leave. I see. You have no idea how pleasant that idea is. Let me get you started, then. Here you are:

You are an elitist. You accept nothing but what you label as "excellent". This includes spouse and kids, as in, they must present a wholly pleasant and harmonious home in order to satisfy you. Good luck with that -- even the Osmonds have down days. Impulsive and jealous, you will be a difficult mate.

Are you happy, now? Of course not. Do care? Of course not. But still, I will leave you with a positive thought, simply because I think it will make you go away that much faster. On the upside, you are capable still of coming to annoy a medium on the mountain. That puts you miles ahead of most people, especially these -- all of whom, on this date in history, moved to the Avenue of Souls: Domitian, Flavius Valerius Severus, James II of England and VII of Scotland, Louis XVIII of France, Ezekiel Hart, Gabriel Fahrenheit, Alexander Alexandrovich Friedman, Ronald Ross, Jean Piaget, Gordon Gould, Rob Levin, Pope Valentine, Pope Victor III, Avignon Pope Clement VII, Tomás de Torquemada, Michael Baius, Anne Bradstreet, Howard Moss, Robert Jordan, Qi Baishi, Farinelli, John McCormack, Maria Callas, Shelby F. "Sheb" Wooley, Samuel Z. Arkoff, Pedro de Cordoba, Gene Nelson, James Gregory, Irene Hayes, George Gore, Floyd Curry, Nicolas Baudin, John Hanning Speke, Edward Whymper, Millicent Fenwick,

and Marc Bolan.

Jeep on out of here, now.
Happy birthday, anyway.
