Cookies

It's late, and instead of doing work (which I should be, by rights) I'm reading MLIA.
Sorry, Stace, but I was reading that before I saw your tag.
And in any case, everyone could use a little uplifting stuff, hm?

I don't usually post like this, but these actually made me lol.

Today I configured my laptop to recognize speech. Ten minutes later I forgot. Out loud I asked what the time was. I screamed and fell off my bed when it responded. MLIA

Today, while I was at work, I came across a book called the Office Management Field Guide. In big letters at the top, it said OMFG. I chuckled, and when no one was looking, I took a picture. MLIA

My sister just got a new boyfriend. Today, we asked if we could go to the Virgin Festival. My mom said that I could, but she wasn't sure they'd let my sister in. I love my mom. MLIA

Today, I yelled "Hey stupid!" into a very crowded school hallway. About 6 people turned around to answer. It made my day. MLIA.

A few years ago, I got a fortune cookie with a fortune that read "Help! I'm being held prisoner in a Chinese bakery!" I laughed at the time, but now I sometimes worry that they are still waiting for me to rescue them. MLIA.

I hold Trace responsible for hooking me onto these Twitter-like comments.
In the meanwhile, I have my own answers to the last two MLIAs.

This year, I heard someone (males) calling "Hey, shuai ge!" behind my back. I was some distance away, and it was kind of crowded. I looked back anyway, and looked questioningly for the source of the voices. I saw them, and heard them laughing. It was pretty awesome.

And listening to all the MLIAs about people living in the West and fortune cookies messages, here's one for you - I'm Chinese. I live in an Asian country. I live in an Asian country which quite a lot of people think is some part of China. I have not eaten a fortune cookie. (At least, for a couple of years.) I find this highly ironic and quite amusing.

Today, I slept on my hand and when I woke up it was asleep. I proceeded to slap myself in the face to see if I could feel it. I then remembered it wasn't my face that was numb. MLIA
