I absolutely LOVE my Magic 8 Ball. It’s the bom! We are in lurve (that’s basically UBER love for those who don’t know). So I am going to do a series of questions to show you how freaking awesome it is!
First a quick test:
FADE IN.
(to Magic 8 Ball)
Should I blog about your mystic wisdom?
MAGIC 8 BALL
Better not tell you now.
AMY
WTF?
Amy pauses a minute before:
(to Magic 8 Ball)
Fine, can you tell me now?
MACIG 8 BALL
Concentrate and ask again.
AMY (Cont.)
OMG! Fine.
Amy concentrates.
Are you ready to answer me?
MAGIC 8 BALL:
My reply is no.
FADE TO BLACK.
Seriously, none of that was made up. I really just had that conversation… alone in my office with my Magic 8 Ball (I maybe should be looking up a therapist vs. blogging). I wrote it as it happened (had I made it up our conversation would have gone much better, in my humble opinion).
Here I am all ready to promote my awesome Magic 8 Ball and it’s being coy?! Cheeky little devil. I didn’t realize it sopped up the sarcastic aura from my office. I mean we used to talk all the time.
Or maybe it’s not sarcasm but rather passive aggression.
I may have upset it by constantly using my “invisible” Magic 8 Ball. I always think it’s funny to answer someone with “Let me ask my invisible 8 ball”. Then I cup my hands and act out shaking the thing and ask it question. I of course insert whatever answers I want. I had no idea that this would cause a rift between my real Magic 8 Ball and myself.
So how do you make up with your Magic 8 Ball?! I mean it KNOWS like EVERYTHING. And now it’s all “My reply is no.”? That blows. Maybe I will concentrate and buy a NEW one in a few days.
