SECOND CHANCES NET

Tony, honey, I give you full permission to deck our door out so we win this contest. Let this be a warning to the rest of you. We're coming for you!

Not having my original manuscripts is making this next book tricky. Without a way to reference past events to ensure continuity, I may need to put everything on hold and attempt the start of a new series. Still mystery, however. Who doesn't love a good mystery?

While I brainstorm ideas for a new story, Thing is curious to know if anyone has any Halloween costume ideas for him. He says he's tempted to try a new polish for the occasion but that he would much prefer to get into the spirit with something more this year. Should anyone have suggestions, I'll be sure to pass them along. And he's already thought of disembodied hand in a candy bowl, as a note.

These fortune cookie things? Definitely some good and bad mixed in. I was still riding the high when I got off work early-ass Saturday morning but "Enthusiastic leadership gets you a promotion when you least expect it" was definitely a win!

There isn't really a promotion when you have your own show but I got picked up by other markets! I'm so excited and amazed and I swear I'm still buzzing.

Hargreeves Birthday! Hargreeves Birthday! Hargreeves Birthday!

Also, I got kicked out of my first study group, and I can't decide what I blame more: my fortune cookie or the jerk who had terrible opinions on immigrant issues. I couldn't just let it slide, so now I have to find a new one. Totally worth it. The new one will be loads better.

Castro Street Fair is today, and I need street fair food. Who's going with me?

It is officially October 1 so you'll find me drinking apple cider, listening to Monster Mash, and decorating the apartment.

I have to say, while it's been an adjustment, at least this is better than living in a flea-infested motel in the middle of nowhere.

That and it's Pumpin Spice Latte season, finally. I'll call that a win-win.

It's times like this I really wish Flynn was here.

But that isn't what the cookie gave me.

Fortune cookies are an acquired taste, but they're also a welcomed source of entertainment during late-night shifts in the ER and otherwise. We won't get into the amount of Lo Mein we consumed. If you know, you know.

But who would have thought they'd be so accurate?

[ Attached to the network post is a picture of Ella looking up at Christine with the following fortune held up: "The love of your life is sitting across from you." ]

Since Dobby doesn't have anyone to serve here, Dobby is going to start making some socks for the upcoming winter months. Would anyone else like some?

I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and attending the party. And a special thank you to Lydia for once again being the queen of parties and making the day so special.

Either I've just discovered my own bioluminescence or I've done something wrong...

HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING

If you got a fortune cookie that read "You will be traveling and come into a fortune."

And then you ended up in the scene of a robbery

And someone tried to carjack you as a getaway car

But then they panicked

And left a duffel bag full of money on the seat next to you as they fled

And no one who was chasing them... noticed


What's the best way to go about turning in said money so someone with a criminal record doesn't just get their butt tossed in jail because it looks funny?

Okay. I don't know what being I've pissed off now... but I've tripped more times than I can count, got my locker stuck, failed a math test and burnt my grilled cheese.

And I can't help like it's this stupid cookie's fault. With its bad juju and shit.

"Bad luck and ill misfortune will infest your pathetic soul for all eternity."


I can't do this terrible day shit for forever.

I miss my friends more than I even imagined I would. Perhaps I should find something to keep myself busy.

I need to get in the gym more often. Don't want to let myself go.

I've never had a fortuen cookie but I suppose this is a good one. It reminds me of something that Master Yoda might say except more coherent.

Okay hear me out.

Has anyone tried to actually EAT their fortune cookies?? Like, is the fortune just the important part? Does the cookie matter?

Because I usually give Addie my cookies after I read the fortune but if I'm going to accidentally make my dog a multimedia celebrity sensation because a fortune cookie told her to seek fame and fortune, we've got a lroblem!

Oh, what's all this then? HELLO, HUMANS!

Um, what?

I don't know if that was meant to be motivational or ominous, but if it's the latter, got to hand it to you. First time I've gotten death threat via fortune cookie.

You know what's cute about these fortune cookies? They got these little "Learn Chinese" phrases on em and half the time they ain't even right!

You got a mode of transport, right? I'm supposed to be a passenger according to the cookie and stick close to a driver ;)
