Have you heard of NLP? Or have been at least tagged on Facebook for some strange NLP event? Are you intrigued with this scientific-sounding, uber-sophisticated term? Neuro --- brain. Linguistic --- language. Programming --- er, computers? Brain language computers. Very high-tech.
I was actually introduced to NLP by a fortune teller.
*enter flashback music*
My friend Chin told me about this Psychic Fair in Eastwood a few years ago, during the time the term "psychic" meant how "promo" means to me now. So I went to the Psychic Fair... not with Chin, I think, but with Liz. Or maybe it was the second Psychic Fair that Liz tagged along, or was it the first Psychic Fair that the fortune teller lady gave me a magic mantra and free precious stones to boot, and I was with Chin at that time? Hmm. Anyway, I forget.
So!
It was actually a male psychic I ended up with because I chose him from a menu of psychics available that night --- which basically shows that even at the event of having your fortune told everything is still up to your decision. As it was a few years ago, I really can't remember my fortune, but I probably opened up to him via a tirade of expressed frustrations: Am I going to travel overseas? Will I ever have my dream job? Will I ever meet Michael Vartan? Will I ever find true love?
Well, he read my cards, and for some reason, he discussed neurolinguistic programming. And as I had too much questions, he only remembered the most recent one, and that was, Will I ever find true love? He then told me, Here's what you should do.
I was already liking this psychic. At last, someone was not just giving me an "intelligent" guess, someone was telling me what to do!
*break music!*
As I am "scheming" to eventually marry Jason Segel, I have been thinking how to pull it off. I mentioned in my last entry that I had no idea what to write, which also means I didn't know what to do. And as I need to know what to do, and the last I checked Chowking did not have any fortune cookies available, I suddenly remembered this particular fortune teller!
And this particular fortune teller told me how to get someone I want!
*continue flashback music*
So this psychic told me to get a piece of paper ... I didn't have one. So he told me he'd give me a piece of paper. Check, piece of paper! And he told me to make three columns from that piece of paper. I didn't have a pen so I started folding the bond paper. Three columns, check! And then he told me to write the first heading: Traits of the Guy I Want to Marry. I didn't have a pen so I absorbed everything he said. Afterwards, he told me to write the heading of the second column: the Traits of the Girl This Particular Guy Would Want to Marry. And so he explained. And the last column... I really can't remember now, because I didn't have a pen and it was so long ago and I was already thinking answers and all, but I think it has something to do with What I Must Do To End Up Marrying That Guy That Will Not Include Killing the Girl the Guy I Want to Marry Will Likely Want to Marry. Something like that.
I was so amazed with the idea that I never got around doing it because I did not want to lose the amazement! I had not heard of neurolinguistic programming before! And I have no idea if this process is indeed part of NLP!
So. Since I have no idea how to actually execute this process of marrying Jason Segel, well, I guess I need to sit down and actually do that three-column list. I guess that is the first logical step.
And that's the second part of this entry that I will be writing about as I am just about to hunt for that piece of paper. And a pen that does not poop.
