Go away.
Will you please go now? Why are you still here? Did I do something in a previous life to warrant this torture from you? Go on, then, leave. What are you waiting for? Oh, right, you didn't just wander up here by accident, you came here to get something from me. And that something would be? O, I am shocked. Pardon my gasp. You want a reading. If I give you one, do you promise to leave me alone again? Woo-hoo! Here you are: Ambitious, restless, and yet a drudge at work, you would sacrifice your own health to provide for those you deem important. It's a good thing you're mostly on your own. You are uptight, narrow, and more fussy than Morris the Cat ever was. You like to think about art, music, literature, and a lot of talk, as though that makes you an intellectual.Are you happy, now? Of course not. But then, you don't have to look at that as though it were bad news. After all, you are still around today to talk like a pirate, if you so choose, me hearty. That puts you in a better position than these people, all of whom, on this date in history, walked the final plank: Go-Daigo, Hugh Kawharu, ...
