Okay, so I lied.
I slept through my alarm, and ended up waking much later than intended. So instead of visiting the Hatshepsut exhibit at the Kimbell, I spent pretty much my whole "awake part" of the day with our friend, the quadratic equation. Well, and also watching the fourth season of South Park. I just bought it the other day, and a girl's gotta take a break now and then when doing something as involved as algebra.
In other news, I went to dinner with my parents at some new(ish) Chinese buffet-style restaurant in Mansfield. It was pretty nice...they had non-Chinese food, also, in case you are racist against Chinese food.
I am particularly fond of the little fried crab claws; it's like you're holding hands while you eat them. Cutes!
In addition to the crabby claws, I also had some lo mein, fried rice, and a lovely, humongous dinner roll. I loves me some bread. Then, of course, I filled my next plate with a scrumptious array of fruits! Honeydew melon, cantaloupe, peach slices, tangerine slices, and a wedge of grapefruit! Yummy.
But what sort of Chinese-American food establishment does not offer fortune cookies? Mine contained hope imprinted on a tiny slip of paper. Its message?
"Seek friendship and you will find someone special this month."
Usually, my so-called fortunes are trite and meaningless, but once in a while, the cookie produces a rare gem of hope and wisdom! Never underestimate the cookie! The Universe has heard my soul's mournful weeping, and has thus intervened! I know it seems silly, but my moods tend to fluctuate rather a lot. Lately, I've been slipping more and more into "listless, lonely and depressed." My fortune was a welcome one. Plus, it kind of reinforced the thought that I should be a little more active in my love-life. It'd be nice to be in a [real] relationship for once. You know, one that lasts longer than only a couple of months, and doesn't end because the guy ended up being kind of a jerk. But I'm not going to just wake up and find myself in a healthy relationship; I need to put myself out there and meet new people.
O, cookies! I knew you would not fail me!
I taped this fortune to my laptop, along with the other two I've gotten in the past that struck a chord. Self-esteem is something I need to work on, so I kept these as well:
"Rarely do great beauty and virtue dwell together as they do in you."
and
"Others take notice of your radiance."
These are things I need to tell myself sometimes. Maybe someday I won't /have/ to tell myself anymore, and I'll just believe it all.
- Colleen, out.

I love King's Hawaiian bread myself. The only way I can eat Chinese is to go to a buffet that has American food because my wife won't eat anything Asian.
Those are some great fortunes. Good luck with the friendship one. Since the other two aplly to you, there should be a truly extraordinary person looking for you. Hope you find each other soon and you get away from that "lonely and depressed" mood.
