It’s Because I’m Psychotic. I Mean, Psychic.
Written by Leah. Filed Under Calgary, leah, psychology
Do you ever have where you just amaze yourself in weird ways (not necessarily good)? For example, extreme moments of deja vu, or those gut feelings that are soooo strong that you can’t help but ignore them- some might say a womans intuition? Well, sometimes I think I am psychic. I have two recent examples to convince you, too, that I am sometimes psychic.

Example Number One:
Back when my hunka-hunka-burnin’ love first got accepted to the wonderful job he has now, we knew he would be moving away somewhere in June. He had five options - Halifax, Muskoka, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver (that is in the order he voted for - Halifax first, Vancouver last) but I always just KNEW that he would end up in Calgary. It was his second to last choice, but my gut just knew Calgary was it. It got to be that we - okay, I - just started saying “When you get the job in Calgary, the first thing we will do is buy a HUGE bed.” “When you get the job in Calgary do you think I will go too?” “When you get the job in Calgary, how much will you still love me on a scale from one to ten?” And this was months before his work told him his job placement! For awhile, Tim was convinced that Muskoka was it, but I always knew it Calgary was the place for us to be. And I am so glad we came here, Tim loves it almost as much as I do! By the way, he might meet Bill Clinton today, he is scheduled to be at Tim’s work this afternoon. Lucky!
Example Number Two:
A few nights ago, Tim and I were getting our daily 10:00pm dose of our favourite television show, Iron Chef America. I don’t know if all of you have seen it, but at the beginning of each episode, a new “challenger” chef is brought into “Kitchen Stadium” and the challenger chooses from one of five “Iron Chefs” (always the same five every day - Mario Batali is Tim’s favourite, Bobby Flay is mine) to battle in a competition. They have one hour to make five different items, each featuring a “secret ingredient” that is presented at the beginning of the show. (Whether or not they know of the secret ingredient beforehand is a whole other blog post altogether, and one of the main reasons Tim and I argue. He says they don’t, I say they do.) The secret ingredient can range from wild boar to puff pastry to honey to lentils, anything under the sun. Then they are judged, and either a challenger or an Iron Chef wins. Awesome show, it’s funny, it’s educational, and it inspires us to cook weird and tasty things every night.

Back to my psychic abilities - A fun thing for us to do is try and guess who the judges will be (they rotate every week, but there are a few key judges they like to use), but we never try and guess the secret ingredient because they are so random (what IS barramundi anyways?!!?), but when we were watching it the other night, as they were about to uncover the secret ingredient (it is always a really dramatic event involving lots of dry ice - see above), I just yelled out “CHOCOLATE!!!” and it WAS!!! I had never seen that episode before, I just knew it was chocolate and I had a giant urge to yell (yell, scream, whatever) it out! I then proceeded to dance around the room reminding Tim how awesome I am, and how I am psychic, and how I KNEW we were moving to Calgary before we even found out.
Anyways, I don’t think we should vote on whether or not I am REALLY a sometimes psychic, but tell me of a time when you discovered your own psychic abilities, or experienced extreme female (or male) intuition.

Hmmmm… I know I’ve had these moments but can’t honestly think of a single example right now.
My mom on the other hand could be kicking about with us when we were younger and say something like, “I’ve jusy got a gut feeling so and so will be swinging by today”… and BAM they’d pull up for a visit (unannounced).

I only notice such abilities when something happens and then I get to say, “see, you should have listened to me. I told you so.” Not so much beforehand. Psychic hindsight is 20/20? hee hee.
And as for Iron Chef, I never really got into the American version. I loved the original Japanese version, though. Masaharu Morimoto was my favorite! I’m not a fan of Bobby Flay. Something about his ego and attitude just rubs me the wrong way.

On mothers day weekend we were hanging out with Matt’s family and I got this really strong feeling that his sister was pregnant, but she already has two kids and I really didn’t think they’d have anymore even though she’s always said she wanted more..i just didn’t think they would. Anyways, I told matt that and he was like “no way, she’s not”. Welllll, don’t you know she’s know 2-3 months pregnant. Somehow I knew when she was only like 1 month pregnant that she was!! I’m definitely slightly psychotic!
Sometimes I think a guy I work with can read my mind. I haven’t had any experience with this psychic stuff. I’ve always wanted to go to one though!

Way off topic .. but Zune?! Really?! C’mon — get with the iTimes …

ps- CHEERS!
OMG! Yes! For real…
1. If I know you well enough, like say we are friends and I’ve known you for at least 6 months I can tell you what you are going to tell me before you do. It only happens when I am in the same room. I freak people out all the time.
2. When I was 16 I woke up one morning and told my mother my best friend was going to get into a horrible car accident. My mom told me never to speak that way about my friends, EVER! That night? She hit a stalled van on a bridge and had to have 9 surgeries to recover.
I know you totally don’t believe me. No one does…until I do that trick and tell them what they are about to say. It still freaks my husband out.

I know you’re going to say “Yeah, right.” But here goes.
When I first met my husband-to-be I was taking the trash out. He stopped me at the dumpster to ask me about the apartment building I lived in at the time. Yes, so charming, I know.
We ended up talking for about 25 minutes and during that time I had this random thought, “Wouldn’t that be crazy if we ended up getting married? This story of how we met would be so wild.”
And here we are, two months from our 14th wedding anniversary.

I have these moments all the time. Sometimes I try to ignore them like when I know the guy my friend is dating is going to turn nasty even though everyone else loves him or when i know one of my parents is getting sick. Woman’s intuition is a blessing and a curse.
