A Happy Ending

So there i was, tommy trojan at 11:30... a little anxious, not because of our nice phone conversation, but because in elementary school there was a bully named marcus so i've never liked the name. i am slowly learning to love the name and not freak out. marcus is really cool. and he definitely knew who i was (although i'm still such a nerd). we are both rude eaters, but not too rude. we just eat fast. but he had a class... and the lady gave me a lot of chow mein... whatever, inauthentic chinese food sucks. my orange chicken was like orange chicken breast. you can't eat that with chopsticks! small bites! anyhow...

I was thinking about how cool it would be to be a fortune cookie writer.

Poll: do you have to eat the cookie before reading the fortune? I do just because i feel cool, but poor marcus' fortune was sticking out of the cookie and you didn't have to open it to read the fortune. horrible. but is there an order to the fortune cookie?

anyhow, being a fortune cookie writer- schwing!

there are several categories of fortune cookies
#1: wise words (we call this "Confucius say...") marcus had one, "A man does not know what he can do until he tries" much to learn little grasshopper!
#2: Compliments. this was the kind i had: "You have great physical powers and an iron constitution" which is nice, but maybe it was saying "lindy change your bed height yourself, don't wait to make friends with a football player!" dang.
#3: the actual fortune ones: 'you will soon take a trip to a far away place' or 'the one you love is closer than you think' (i got that one once, i thought it was really cool) or the 'someone admires you' ones- i love those!

i thought of a really funny one: "You do not need this cookie!" but of course i would only read that after i'd eaten the cookie. "You don't know where that cookie's been!" oh hahaha. freak people out. make them hate the chinaman again... damn commies.

greek was fun this morning, my teacher is cool. but it's intimidating. scary. but none of that matters, because i have great physical powers and an iron constitution. so i'm going to class. talk to you cats later

i don't think you need to eat the cookie at all. that's because i don't really like fortune cookies, but i want fortunes anyway.

fool! the cookie's so good! it's only butter and sugar, it melts in your mouth (not in your hand)!

but the fortune's are fun. if they're good ones. interestingly enough, though, the one i got from panda on thursday was, "You have firm convictions; stand dtrong behind them" sort of like my yesterday one, "You have great physical powers and an iron constitution" hmm... similar...


coincidence? I THINK NOT!
