theodosia | Fortune Cookies

I'm getting a new computer and a lovely flatscreen monitor at work this week. Which means my old standby monitor is going away, after several years of faithful service. It's gotten kind of... decorated over the years. Not just the small menagery of stuffed animals on top (and where are they going to live, anyway?), but all the little bits o' stuff that has accumulated, nay, adhered... like the fortune cookie fortunes.

They've gotten a bit faded, and I seem to be eating less Chinese food lately, so the youngest is probably two years gone at the least... but here for your enjoyment, what my random selection of fortune cookies says about me:

Someone can read your mind.

Your dreams are never silly; let them guide you.

Take advantage of your great imagination. It will serve you well.

A healthy way of living is to be good to your health.

Sitting towards the South may bring you good luck.

Don't worry--be happy.

It's nice to be remembered, but it's far cheaper to be forgotten.

Many a false step is made by standing still.

The stuffed animals, by the way, include a bunny, a lizard, a squeezy brain, and a spider ring perched on a wire puzzle....
