Fortunate Me

A few years ago, my dad bought me a package of fortune cookies for my birthday. The cookies... well, they should have been thrown away a loooooong time ago, but I really wanted all the fortunes. I can use all the help I can get. So today, in the interest of cleaning my room (in the interest of stalling and not cleaning my room). I finally opened them all. Let me share with you my fortune!

You will soon meet a helpful person -- Probably referring to a bus driver; they help me get where I need to go.

A happy event awaits you -- Umm... That's what he said?

A happy event will take place shortly in your home -- Probably something to do with Twilight.

your help will be needed in an embarrassing situation -- Again, probably something to do with Twilight

you have an optimistic faith and confidence in life -- Wait, is this a fortune? it sounds more like a horoscope. Or maybe its cursing me. "You will suffer from faith and confidence!"

versatility is one of your outstanding traits -- Again, thanks for the compliment, but...

an unexpected phone call will bring good news -- Hopefully President Obama calling me to tell me I can go to the dentist for free.

you will soon solve a difficult problem -- I have a lot of problems. Its hard to guess which one will be solved

you have a winning way. keep it -- Oh-kaay?

you will have gold pieces by the bushel -- Like an old miner!

The time is right to reach your goals -- Is this hinting that I will grow a few inches? I can't reach my goals! I'm too short!

you will receive a compliment today -- Hopefully not the usual compliments I get from old men on the bus.

you will find fame and fortune -- Does this mean I will finally meet Robert Pattinson (it says find, doesn't say I get to keep the fame and fortune).

you will be happy socially and in your work -- I'm waiting...

you will have a chance at good fortune -- This one really sucks. I mean, what if I get so excited that I squeeze my eyes shut and squeal... and then my chance passes me by? Now I can NEVER SLEEP

you are deeply attached to your family and home -- This sounds so ominous.

you will read some information that will help you -- Well technically these are supposed to be helpful

you will be rewarded for your efforts -- I hope so! Because these cookies are extremely soggy. blech.

an invitation is headed your way -- Well its about time someone invited me!

money comes your way: a pleasant surprise -- Well, it is surprising when my paychecks arrive on time/without mistakes. Maybe this time... maybe...

I will say, reading all of those fortunes has really boosted my mood.

Lunch Time

Soup Salad Sandwich Day. That was one of my favorite school lunches. I would get the Tuna fish sandwich or PB and J, chicken noodle soup, and salad with lots of cheese, ranch and those crispy chow mein noodles. Except for the one time the salad lady thought I said "peas" instead of cheese. RUINED MY LIFE. I believe this was one of the rare days where lunch was served with a donut for dessert. The other donut day was creamed tuna over rice day.

Anyhoo, I have come a long way from my elementary palate. Today I enjoyed some creamy tomato soup (which I used to hate) with a grilled cheese sandwich, and a warm mushroom spinach salad (the six year old in me says ewwww).

It takes a lot of effort for me to make just enough food for one person. It takes even more effort for me to make food and not insist that my new roommates also eat it (not that they would refuse...) -- its not courtesy, its a compulsion! I'm trying to be reasonable, but I've lived by myself and worked by myself for the past year, and frankly that doesn't give me enough opportunities to feed people. Its one thing to stock a freezer with cookie dough that will eventually reach someone's stomach. Its something else entirely to serve someone the most delicious cookie they've ever had.

I need someone to feed

Or I need someone to give me a million dollars so that I can open up a restaurant and have many someones to feed
