I'm making fortune cookies for the BlizzCon LiveFeed party we're having this weekend.... I had to compile this list from many sources, so here's a nice concise reference for fortunes.
You will soon find that your combat matrix has been enhanced by bloodlust.
MANY WHELPS!
That's a minus 50 DKP!
Leeeeeroy Jeeeeeeeenkins!
Your faction will win Wintergrasp before the month is out.
Your gear score is pitiful. Consider a long walk off Aldor Rise.
You no take candle!
Be prepared to be struck by lightning where the sun doesn't shine.
Your mana pool is pitiful. Consider a long walk off the Ratchet pier.
This kingdom shall fall, and from the ashes shall rise a new order that will shake the very foundations of the world.
The hope for future generations has always resided in mortal hands.
Now that your task is done, like Medivh, you shall take your place amongst the legends of the past.
I salute your bravery, elf, but the chase is over.
You're the king? Well, I didn't vote for you.
You have been chosen by the big metal hand in the sky! Do not fail us!
Side effects may include dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, water retention, painful rectal itch, hallucination, dementia, psychosis, coma, death, and halitosis. Magic is not for everyone. Consult your doctor before use.
If you don't master your anger, your anger will master you.
The strands of destiny weave only a web of death.
I am he who watches they. I am the fist of retribution. That which does quell the recalcitrant. Dare you defy the Warchief? Dare you face my merciless judgment?
The beginning of wisdom is the statement 'I do not know.' The person who cannot make that statement is one who will never learn anything.
You can't call yourself a seasoned adventurer until you've spent some time killing rats! Haw!
Hmm those pig creatures are unlike anything I've ever seen before - - At least they're prettier than you, human.
I come from the Orcs. We eat with spoons and forks. We love to eat our pork!"
Your pain shall be legendary!
You like large posteriors and you cannot prevaricate.
Kill the healer first, the one in the dress!
Would you like to know the secret to eternal happiness? Page 236...
"My blood cries out for the vengeance of my people's blood, which can only be repaid with at least twice as much blood! Or maybe three times as much blood! Like, if you went to hell, and it was full of blood, and that blood was on fire, and it was raining blood, then maybe that would be enough blood! Eh... but probably not."
By the gods you're annoying.
You may soon join a cult - not so much a cult, as a fanatical group of bloodthirsty, blade-wielding zealots.
Nibly the Almighty says: Silence, servant! Vengeance will be mine! Death to Stormwind! Death by chicken
"My older brother, Magni, is King of the Dwarves. My younger brother, Brann, is a renowned explorer. If I didn't kick so much ass, I'd feel a tad awkward. " -Muradin
I love the smell of exorcism in the morning... you know that smell? That smell of burning undead... it smells... like victory.
Your heroism brings all the boys to the yard.
Orc females have no respect for people with small peircings. I say go full hog- put a spear through your head!
The way to a man's heart, be through his stomach. But trolls go through da ribcage!
Robin Hood steals from the Humans and gives to the ..... Murlocs! Why else do you think they are so rich?
The amount of available bag space is inversely proportional to the amount of loot you will receive when running an instance. Pack light.

My baby kitty
Meet 7 month old Edwin! We picked him up at the shelter after Hunter passed on.
This was too cute not to photograph!
He loves to play hide n go seek, and in the morning he loves a little lactose free milk.
Also, he loves having his teeth brushed, and he loves that I eat salmon out of the can and share the juice with him. He's my buddy.

Everything'll be alright
Something about getting scratched by my cat really messed my head up last night-- Joshua himself says it'll all be ok.
Books close when they are finished.

song of the moment - Iron and Wine
God made the automobile to pass all the pretty girls that smoke by the side of the road, their blues lovin' boys in tow; to drive until the end of the day, and bow to a borrowed flag beside all the brave and the blind, and men without men in mind.
To pass all the things he made but then never bothered to name. And no one will tell the truth, and no one will hide it from you, like birds around the grave.
God made the automobile, and I made a little boy to pass all the blissfully young.
The snake with the forked toungue that prays on the waiting for time, and makes in the sleepless waves, the fear of the black and the jew, and blood for the camera crew.
It passes the things he made and then never bothered to name. And no one will tell the truth, and no one will hide it from you, like birds around the grave.

New Chapter
So, this job that gave me the iritis with the stress? I was relieved of it this morning.
I feel so relieved. And so sick with a cold.
Once I'm all the way better, I'd like to work on things that mean something to me, as well as finding a job that fits my heart and my head better.

Iritis
I currently have iritis, have had it for over a week now. I got it last Tuesday, following a bad review at my new bank job on Friday, July 24. I've been at this job since March and I haven't had much in the way of coaching, so I was lucky they decided to keep me. But it also stressed me out, because I don't deal well with imperfection or failure, or "not being good enough".
Hence the iritis. I went to the eye doctor on July 29, and they put me on prednisolone drops, once an hour (left eye), and a dilating drop to take twice a day (I take it every 12 hours). After a week, I didn't feel any better, the doctor said it didn't look any better, and since this is the FIFTH FUCKING TIME I've had this, and each time the drops do not better my condition. The first 3 times I had a steroid injection under my cornea, and the most recent time (following the death of my grandfather and following into the death of my sister's husband), they put me on oral steroids, and I improved rapidly. Not to mention the rest of my pain- and inflammatory- disease riddled body. My pain decreased to the point where I felt normal, happy, energetic. Not bogged down by pain.
So the doctor asked me what I wanted to do next, whether I wanted to continue one more week on drops alone, or... add oral steroids. Given my history with the disease, I didn't want to spend one more week feeling the way I do when I have iritis: isolated, alone, scared, angry, helpless, in pain. I know the oral steroids work, and they work rapidly. So I'm on day 2 of oral steroids, and I feel wonderful. I'm at 40 mg right now, and they'll taper me off once I improve. I'm still taking the steroid drop once per hour, and once I improve, they'll taper the drops first, and then the pills.
I'm doing well, despite the iritis. I'm managing to be confident and sell products, I'm managing to be friendly and warm with customers despite my highly dilated left eye and the pain I feel while I'm straining to read their deposit slip.
How did a musician of my caliber (double bass player) end up as a bank teller, anyway? It doesn't seem fair. Then again, life rarely is.

My latest desktop background
I love the sleekness of apple products, but they generally lack the robustness required to play massive multiplayer online games. I love world of warcraft and fluffy fox es, and so I put this delicious piece of irony on my PC desktop. I like to enjoy the best of both worlds. And the cosmic wonder of this indigo sky spotted with stars- stargazing really is the best thing in the world.
