I love them for the same reason I love horoscopes - it gives you something to joke about, and also gives you the "What if..." scenario, which is always fun and terrifying to imagine.
Last year I bought my roommate, Julia, a magic 8 ball pen, and whenever we'd have a dilemma or whatever we'd ask the pen. A couple of weeks ago when I was feeling uncertain about a lot of things I was talking to my friend Charlye, and she was like "Ask the pen!" But the pen is in Australia with Julia so I was like "I need a magic 8 ball!" So at like 9pm we went to Times Square to the Toys r us.
We were initially distracted by super hero stuff. And then Hunger Games items (you can buy what they wore in the arena, it's freaking ridiculous, but I had to check it out due to my absurd love of Peeta).
But we finally found the magic 8 ball.
Charlye: We have to check and see if it works!
Me: Okay...
Charlye: (shakes ball) Is Caitlin ridiculous?
Charlye: It works.
SO tonight I just discovered my favorite thing is to annoy Paige by asking questions about her life.
Will Paige get married in five years? You may rely on it
Will Paige have five kids? It is unclear
Will Paige have three kids? Without a doubt.
Will Maigan get married in 2016? It is certain
Me: (to Paige) Hey that's one year before you!
I did ask questions about myself - apparently I will be moving to California!
She told me I had to stop asking questions and make Zucchini bread. So while I'm chopping zucchini I'm making conversation and basically chattering on like "I listened to this great interview by that comedian we like and..." Or "Do you think so and so will get pregnant soon?" And Paige just gives short answers and is busy playing with her phone, while I keep going on, and I stop and think...oh my goodness am I that annoying chick who keeps talking when everyone wants her to shut up?
Also there's a YSA conference this weekend, so that's horrifying, and I will probably subject myself to a bit of it, because I hate myself.
No you aren't that annoying girl she just can't let go of that thing. pick up the phone and talk to them quit typing!
