The New Miss Cleo

I may be a little bit psychic.

I present this evidence of creepy psychic behavior.

1. Thursday. I was sitting on the couch in the throws of illness and suddenly it popped into my head that "Friends" episode where Ross has cheated on Rachael and they spend the whole episode discussing it with the other Friends trapped in Monica's bedroom listening to the fight. Specifically what popped into my head was the part where Rachael is ordering a pizza and Ross asks her for no anchovies and she requests that they chop up anchovies and put them in the sauce. Then it came on like 2 hours later. That exact episode.

2. My mother emailed me with an ebay item that she wanted. A cookie jar from Abingdon Pottery that was almost exactly the cookie jar that her mother had had. I obliginly put in a bid and had the idea to look around to get her something for mother's day also of Abingdon Pottery. I found a pretty cool serving dish, the least ugly thing on ebay from AP. That night my mother came home with a present from her brother in exchange for one of his old records that my mother still had. The present was the exact serving dish from Abingdon Pottery that I had put in a bid on not 3 hours earlier. I gasped and told my mother, who only laughed, thanked me for the thought and said we'd have a matching set.

3. While making myself toast on Saturday morning, I inexplicably began to think about the Hope Diamond. More specifically the mail carrier who delivered the Diamond to the Smithsonian. Many tragedies befell the poor man after handling the Hope Diamond. not 30 minutes after eating the toast there was a documentary on the History Channel about the secrets of the Smithsonian. As we turned it on they were discussing the mail carrier who delivered the Hope Diamond and all of the tragedies that befell him.

4. It may run in the family. My grandmother had dreams about famous people dying the night that they did actually die. She had a dream that Adlai Stevenson died the very night he did die. There are other incidents of my grandmother, but I can't think of them at the moment.

Granted most of my "predictions" (I dont think I should really call it that because its really just a thought that pops into my head which weirdly turns out to lie in my future) deal with television and the episodes that are coming up, and not very often. So really I'm just a version of TV guide. But its still odd. And freaking me out a little.
