Lunch with the Gypsy

So today i was approached by my first gypsy lady. I think i got off quite well.


For one, she didn't curse me, or spray me with anything, which is what i hear they do? 


So I'm walking out of Forfars (i'd just grab the unhealthiest lunch) stupidly with wallet in hand, and they home in on this kind of thing, if they see a purse in your hand they'll get ya. So she thrusts this plastic purple and white flower in to my hand, well when i say thrust, she very forwardly directed it to my hand and i subconsciously grabbed it. I don't know why, maybe because it was a flower, but she could have shoved anything in my direction and i would have nearly grabbed it, so from then on i was hooked.


"This will be a lucky year for you it will, you have a good future ahead, you believe in gypsies, you'll set up your own business, you'll find someone in love, and that i can promise you"


"Oh really? That's rather interesting do tell me more"


"Spare me some money and i'll read your palm, yeah you'll be in love this year,"


"Oh ok"

"you'll find a lucky lady, she'll be the one for you."


"A lady? i don't think it will be a lady thats for sure"


"A man. I didn't want to say incase i embarrassed you."


"Will he find me or will i find him?


"Darling, you've been hurt before haven't you, you won't let it happen again though. I know that."


"Damn right i won't. Aren't you gonna read my palm?"


" I've seen you already, can you spare a fiver?"


"Now that i really haven't got! Im hungry and on break so bye, thanks"


"It'll take 5 minutes"


"BYE!"


Now, i was £2.50 down, a fake flower and some uplifting words up. What she said was nice, i know what she said was rather generic and that's what their technique is, but the business thing was a little on the mark with me setting up my theatre company, all be it last year, but maybe she mean't that ill take it further... I didn't read too much into what she said, i didn't care about giving her a couple of quid because it was humouring me. 


Anyone could take to the street with a bunch of fake flowers from Wilkos and give them out while telling all these tales. I did wonder though, she was kinda right, but maybe the generics of it applied to me more so. I wouldn't say I've been hurt terribly, but the only serious-ish boyfriend i've had (my first one too) all of a sudden decided not to bother with me and things slowly turned into shit because we never saw each other. I was hurt in the scenes that i thought it would last longer than a month, but i broke up with him and was the adult about it.


Wow, rather deep blog here. I thought i would let you know about my first gypsy encounter.
