Car's dead.

God, I want to whine about being broke, but I should really stop doing that; last time, a few people were nice enough to send me some money for groceries, but it's not something I should expect.

Talked to Daniel about the possibility of doing Tarot online for serious. His wife does it for parties for $200, but her religious principles prevent her from profiting--she gives most of it to charity after deducting transportation costs. (Why do it at all then, I ask?)
He said if you set up a website and get your own chat server, it only costs a few hundred bucks. A few hundred bucks. I figure I could just use YIM for free or something, or set up a PayPal button on my LJ profile or something, charge five or ten bucks a reading and make grocery money until the loan money comes in or I get a meager fast-food paycheck. I don't know, would anyone be up for that for serious?

I would totally be up for that for serious if I had any extra cash to spend, but I don't, alas. I actually considered doing something like what you're talking about, but determined that I find tarot reading infuriating in the same way that I find writing infuriating, and I have to save my energy for the writing; plus it takes me forever. I think it's some sort of right brain/left brain conversion of abstract ideas into words bullshit. If I could only figure out some sort of method or something.

I sometimes make up connections between cards as I go along. The spread I use, some cards are influenced by the ones next to them in certain ways depending on what they are, but there aren't any hard-and-fast relationships besides "these three cards mean your future!" I'm getting better at it, though.
