All types of woo tend to annoy me. My friends are respectful of my beliefs, as I am of theirs, and even the Christians don't pepper their speech around me with "believer-speak". But I find what I term "hippie-woo" irritating in the extreme. And there are a LOT of old hippies here-there's even a well-attended "Hippiefest". I had asked an acquaintance to the Rev. Shawn Amos event and invited her in to my place afterwards for a cup of tea. She immediately started in with the hippie-woo. (Her tie-dye apparel should have warned me, lol.)She exclaimed over "the great energy of my place" (I bit back a snarky comment over AEP providing it), remarked upon how my dog's eyes showed her soul (no, Miss P was most likely angling for a treat), told me I had "wonderful karma" (WTF does that even mean?) and peppered almost every statement with "namaste". I was just WAITING for her to break out the tarot cards....AAAARRRGH! I can see now that this person and I are not going to become friends. She will remain in my "acquaintance" category.
