Fortune Cookies

A blog listening fortune cookies I've opened. I know it is sad, but at the same time I find it interesting the sort of things that they have written. The headline is the cookie, the body is my comments.

Hands That Touch This Slip of Paper Will Never Wash Dishes

Now I know that is a lie, unless they mean as an occupation, in which case maybe. Notice this isn't my fortune. If you don't want to wash dishes you too can touch the slip of paper insuring that you won't ever need to wash dishes.

You Will Take a Chance on Something in the Near Future

Ok, that's not really a fortune now is it? That's just a statement that, when I take a chance, will come true. Since many things in my life revolve around chance happenings then it most likely has already happened.

Well, on to the next one.

Your lucky day is Friday, enjoy.

So is that every Friday or just this upcoming one (actually the one last week, as I opened this Cookie then)? Well anyway I look forward to my lucky Friday whether it was last week, is this week, or is all Fridays.

And does that mean that all other days will be unlucky for me?

The Colour Yellow Will Be Lucky For You

Yellow, Red, make you mind up. Obviously light colours are just lucky for me. I'm not convinced about this Mystic Meg level of fortune. Lets hope it improves.

The Colour Red Will Be Lucky For You

Look the spelling was even localized. Fab. Anyway going through my wardrobe and such I have a certain lack of red items in my life. Blood, that's what I've got that is red.

An Important Event Will Change Your Life Next Week

We are talking about almost direct fortunes here. Just next week something important will happen in my life, but the more I read it the more I think it means that an important event has happened and next week will be different because of it.

Anyway as next week really isn't that far away I might be able to inform you, unless, of course, I don't realize the importance of the event in question.

Try and Value Useful Qualities in One Who Loves You

That sound a bit like exploit the love someone feels for you to me. I think it is just the use of the word useful that makes me think that.

Fortune Cookies Bring You Lots of Luck

Matter of fact statement or cunning marketing ploy? Since I have had a lot of Fortune Cookies recently, I suppose I should be more lucky at the moment. I think things are going fairly well, I certainly haven't thought that I've been unlucky I guess. Anyway since I was going to continue buying cookies then perhaps I'll be mega-lucky such as a games company offering me a lead developer role tomorrow.

I'm just waiting for the mail (I'd probably miss a call).

The Night Life is for You

Now is this actually a fortune or a statement. Is this saying that, if I start going out at night, then good things will happen or that I enjoy having a night life.

The latter is very much true, I do enjoy a good dance. Though I'm not very good at dancing, scratch that, I only think that I'm not very good because I've been drinking I am, in fact, terrible. Even if not dancing most of the time, when left to my own devices and not, say, working, I find that I tend to stay up late and sleep till afternoon. I'm not sure if that's some throwback to my teen-age years or something.
