Fortunately

Last night I hap­pily cracked open two com­ple­men­tary for­tune cook­ies at the Cha Cha Lounge. We went for the happy hour: 5–9 p.m. with $1.50 PBR. The happy hour crowd was pretty chill. But the mania ensewed as hip­sters arrived with cup­cakes and can­dles and glit­tery heels. They just kept appear­ing every­where, leav­ing us awe-struck in the cor­ner. (Until one of the bar ten­ders asked us to move for a sec. while he got some­thing out from the com­part­ment under­neath our booth. nice.)

Back to my for­tunes, the first one read: “You have an ambi­tious nature and will make a name for your­self.” Heavy. The sec­ond one read: “The project you have in mind will soon gain momen­tum.” This one in par­tic­u­lar is really good news because I need to get this senior show on the road. I really feel good about the com­bi­na­tion of the two for­tunes; I think some good things are in store (even though they are in Comic Sans).

Which brings me to my last point and rea­son for blog­ging this: remem­ber that sur­vey I asked you to fill out? Just won­der­ing. And hoping.

  1. Your for­tunes (encour­age­ments) were so per­fect for you. And I do remember.

  2. I like that they are the kind of for­tunes that I can actu­al­ize. Kind of like an assign­ment or dare. Pretty awe­some.
    I will try and be patient. I trust you all. espe­cially you.

  4. i was in the bath­room at dev­er­aux glen, where there are many loose for­tunes, and i decided that for­tune cook­ies should be looked at less as pre­dic­tions for the future, and more like meta­phys­i­cal mus­ings. i don’t know if this works for yours. maybe it does. also, who doesn’t love comic sans? julie.

  5. Whoa, those for­tunes are incred­i­ble. I think I may have pack­aged them for you in my dreams. And I think that was the most awe­some thing I have ever said. I did actu­ally have a dream about you last night, come to think of it. Any­way, reminders are good. Don’t ever feel bad reminding.
