Fortune Cookies

You Will Achieve Most of Your Goals Tomorrow

2005-09-26T18:04:00.000+01:00

Hi. It's been a while since my last post since I'm yet to source a new supply of fortune cookies. Anyway I have one as listed above. Also I'd like to state my goals for tomorrow are:

Have a fabulous time dancing.
Buy a winning lottery ticket.
Get a date.
Learn a new language.
Get well ahead on the project I'm working on at work.
Take over the world.
Make someone giggle.

That's it. I was tempted to put in a few others on account that I'll achieve most of them but I figured that was enough to work on.

Thursday Is Your Lucky Day Enjoy It

2005-05-24T23:41:00.000+01:00

Well Friday was my lucky day back in February. As far as I know I have absolutely no plans for Thursday; I can't even play the lottery on that day to try and take advantage of my luck.

Louise, who incidentally is a lovely girl, asked me where I get my fortune cookies from. I do, actually, stuff my face with this much Chinese food; each time you order from my local takeaway you get a free fortune cookie. Once or twice I also bought some additional fortune cookies to keep me going. Recently, since I've been on a diet, I haven't been eating takeaway that much; I was thinking about buying a box of cookies to keep this blog active.

You Will Soon Gain Something You Have Always Wanted

2005-05-08T18:25:00.000+01:00

Oooh something I've always wanted. The problem I see with this is that something I wanted as a small child I probably don't want any more. I can't think of a desire that has lasted through out my whole life. Still, something I've always wanted. I can't wait :).

Chinese Food Will Give You Good Health

2005-04-21T01:47:00.000+01:00

I sense a little invested interest in this fortune cookie. The Chinese food from the local takeaway probably won't do much in the way of positive things to my health. I have been thinking about trying Green Tea again. I figure if I drink enough of the stuff I might eventually like it. I do like Chinese food though; it is probably second to the critically important Pizza food group (well I think it is a food group).

Fortune Cookies Will Bring You Enthusiasm

2005-04-13T19:34:00.000+01:00

Strangely this is entirely correct. I mean enthusiasm might be taking it a bit far, but certainly collecting them has become some what of a hobby for me. Even if I only use them to blog with.

Trials And Troubles Are On The Horizon, But You Will Ride The Storm With Ease

2005-04-13T19:30:00.000+01:00

Well I've already felt I've been through some troubled times but apparently they are going to go downhill from here. Still I get to ride the storm (not ride Storm, that's totally different) with ease.

People Will Be Listening to What You Have to Say

2005-03-28T13:31:00.000+01:00

As opposed to before where people will not be listening to what I have to say. It's difficult to say anything about this. It doesn't suggest that these people are in some way important. It could be talking about a call to some form of telebanking in which case I'm glad that they'll at least be listening to me.

Your Winsome Smile Will Be Your Sure Protection

2005-03-17T22:32:00.000Z

Protection against what? I tried to think of a few; feel free to comment your own suggestions:

Muggers?
Zombies?
STDs?
Getting laid?
Angry Irish people (see below)?

Protection doesn't seem to be the word you are looking for. Oh and top of the day to ya.

A Dream Will Soon Come True

2005-03-15T19:50:00.000Z

I have wacky, crazy, dreams. I really am not sure that I want my dreams to come true. Though as I'm writing this I got a sense of deja vu which I often get when I can seemingly recall a situation point for point. Sometimes I don't even think I'm going crazy when I do this.

You Will Always Have Good Luck In Your Personal Affairs

2005-03-06T02:07:00.000Z

Umm; am I reading this the wrong way?

Do Not Lose Heart, Things Will Improve With The Years

2005-03-03T00:14:00.000Z

Thanks for that pep talk. My life will improve with age like a wine. Perhaps I can start a new blog where I measure my daily happiness (using Dave Gorman's gladness system) and see if there is an upward trend...

Or not.

Subtle Influences are Swirling Around You Today

2005-03-02T12:50:00.000Z

What? Like spirits or The Force? Maybe it is like The Sims where a green blob will appear above my head and suddenly I'll want to go talk to someone; though I would hardly call such an event subtle. Ah well, that butterfly can keep flapping its wings.

Hands That Touch This Slip of Paper Will Never Wash Dishes

2005-02-26T14:28:00.000Z

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

2005-02-24T18:44:00.000Z

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.

2005-02-23T14:56:00.000Z

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

2005-02-06T20:50:00.000Z

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

2005-02-05T16:54:00.000Z

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

2005-02-04T18:58:00.000Z

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

2005-02-03T22:28:00.000Z

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

2005-02-03T01:32:00.000Z

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

2005-02-01T20:40:00.000Z

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.

You will show great strength in the face of adversity

2005-01-28T20:26:00.000Z

I actually think I'd buckle like an, umm, buckle in the face of adversity. This, of course, means that I will be facing adversity soon. Which sucks.

I think I've had this cookie before I started doing this whole blogging my cookies thing.

The opportunity to show your leadership will soon be here

2005-01-28T13:27:00.000Z

What they didn't mention was that it was in Rome: Total War.

You will be the parent of a famous child

2005-01-26T21:07:00.000Z

I won't be famous but my child will. I think they actually meant infamous child. Anyway this one might take a while to find out whether it happens or not.

On your next holiday you will meet life long friends

2005-01-25T22:26:00.000Z

Interesting this. Is this saying that they are existing life long friends that will just happen to be going on holiday as well, or new life long friends (well the rest of someone's life long friends)? If I go on holiday, I'll tell you the result.
