Fortune philosophy

Every time I get an interesting fortune-cookie fortune, I feel like I should hang on to it, but there's no real point in doing that unless I set aside a place to keep them all so I don't lose them, and I can't think of a suitable place because really, what's a good place to keep things that small? Besides, I'm trying to cut down on my pack-rat tendencies and stop hanging on to random objects. So I end up just throwing them away. But now, thanks to the magic of LiveJournal, I can keep them in memory without having to stash away the actual pieces of paper. (Of course, I technically could've done that from the moment I first bought a computer, but I'm just so much more motivated to write down silly things when I can inflict them on a bunch of my friends (and a few random lurkers--hi, lurkers!) at the same time.)

(Incidentally, I think that may have been the first time I've ever used parentheses within parentheses. I feel so...naughty.)

Anyway, tonight I ate at a place I can't remember the name of, but I think I'll want to go back if I'm ever in that part of town again. I didn't think much of the service, but the portions were large and they served most excellent sesame balls along with the fortune cookies. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. And the fortune that prompted this entire post was: Reasonable people endure. Passionate people live in bed.

Sounds good to me.

No longer unique

Bah. Mere weeks since I added a second hapax legomenon to my interest list, and already it's no longer one. And the other person didn't even get it from me.
