This past Saturday evening, not unlike many other Saturdays, my family had Chinese for dinner.
And, as everyone knows, once you’ve had Chinese takeout, then you have to have a fortune cookie.
When I opened up my fortune cookie, I found myself looking at (besides the Chinese learning thing; does anybody else think that’s stupid and buy a Chinese grammar book instead?) this thing:
You will have many friends when you need them.
And I just thought, heck! What good is that if I’m not there for them when they need me?!
So, I’m going to try to be there. I know I’m not perfect, but I will do my best.
Anybody else hate unintentionally self-centered thinking like this? Please, let’s commiserate in the comments! 🙂

It’s official: your philosophy is Jedi.
Thanks :-3
You know, I always thought it was important to look after one’s self…
*shrugs* Well, so far as taking care of your health goes, I guess. And thinking about the consequences of one’s actions. But just looking out for oneself is so boring!
I might agree. (You were supposed to say that was very Sith-ish of me.)
Taking too much care of oneself is no fun. After all, not going out and doing random things just to be silly occasionally is no fun at all!
(Was I? Oops. :-3 )
I agree–overall! I’m a good type of beast.
(Of course!)
😛
(Oops. Sorry!)
That’s awesome. I wanna be friends. 😉 I’m good at kicking ass when necessary. I’m especially good at kicking sadness’ ass. I’m a good listener too. Oh and I can crochet and shit too. 🙂
Sure! 😀 I complain a lot about Gollum invading all my writings, but I’m normally good at kicking him out, and Potter and Everdeen too when the situation warrants it. 😛 Normally, though, I’m just hyper. ;-P
Hyper is good! I suppose I should warn you that I have mood swings if we’re being honest. Lol. I thought everything was Voldemort’s fault! 😉
No, Harry keeps jumping worlds, which disrupts the space-time continuum… and the alternative universe theory… and everything else Einstein ever thought up. Anyway, he’s not supposed to be, at least not around my stuff. Especially as I’ve never read Harry Potter. So Obi-Wan and I keep on having to kick him back to his own world whenever he turns up on my turf. I suppose you could blame Voldemort, though.
Oh no, there goes Pitch Black’s deplorable… whatever. It looks like Kyle from “Despicable Me”, only with even fewer redeeming features. It bit me last night, and I think it gave me the flu. It bit Spiderman last week, but then regretted it. Dearly. Anything that bites Peter Parker after that one spider doesn’t get much mercy.
Well that certainly makes sense. I don’t think I would want him nosing around my stuff either and yes even though it is Voldemort’s fault, Harry sounds like quite the busy body. I can’t believe Everdeen has time to be such a busy body. I’m completely shocked at her behavior. I was going to ask what you did to the deplorable whatever, but I think biting spiderman was probably punishment enough, However I think if it bit the hulk it might be more amusing. Maybe not for the surrounding city though. 🙂
Yes… Also, my character Rowan from Bound to the Flame was throwing things at him, calling him “Cainbound” (which, in Ertraia, describes a rogue magic user who has, basically, forgotten their conscience,) and hit him with a wet towel when he started flirting with Rheadwyn (who is, jsyk, Rowan’s mentor.) I’m wondering if Potter was drunk at the time, and also if Rowan was just tired of being cooped up. I’m more amazed it didn’t end in a magical duel, though; Rowan was even limping pretty bad…
I kicked the Deplorable Beast through a window, and force-fed it a couple of firebeetles. >:-D
Nice! I am looking forward to reading about Rowan. I do hope he’s ok. I like cainbound! Very catchy. It sounds fiery and rolls off the tongue like a very solid battle cry. The definition makes perfect sense as well. Does Potter drink? If so then I am quite surprised it didn’t end in a magical duel as well. Ohhhhhhh! What do fire beetles do?
Thank you for catching me up on the info around here. It is most interesting! 🙂
🙂 There’s a page with all postings from Rowan’s story, “Bound to the Flame”, on my blog.
I don’t know. I just know he’s annoying my characters. I’m more amazed he was actually cowed by Rowan–Rowan’s not a very big teenager, and he has a bad limp.
I’m not quite sure. But I do know they’re nasty. 😛
Very awesome! I shall be reading “Bound to the Flame” tomorrow. It’s a great title. I’m extremely impressed by your verbage. 🙂
🙂 Thanks! I’m enjoying working on it. Though I should be attending to my other writings, as well. 😛
