Fortunes

I'm not one to buy into the superstition of fortunes (those found in fortune cookies), but I gotta say that sometimes they're strangely bang-on.

Today's (from the monster bag of fortune cookies my neighbor gave me):

- A small lucky package is on its way to you soon - I've received fudge from a friend and a videotape of some interesting "Dr. Who" material from another. Hm... this one is good.

- Work on improving your exercise routine - yeah, I've been saying that already. Barely valid.

A series of totally off ones:

- Soon someone will make you very proud - I can't see how this can be valid.

- Focus on the color purple this week to bring you luck - that's going to be odd. I dislike the color purple.

- Your hidden creative talents will soon be revealed - my what? Um...

- You will be involved in many humanitarian projects - another crack-headed one.

The following are, collectively, a bit creepy and sound interrelated:

- There are big changes ahead for you - sounds sinister

- A new relationship is about to blossom. You will be blessed. - somewhat less-sinister

- Soon a visitor shall delight you - unexpected visitors never "delight" me. I hate surprises.

- An unexpected event will soon make your life more exciting - this sounds... um... sinister in relation to the others

- You will travel to many exotic places - I'm planning on doing that in 2010... hm...
