In the words of Yoda, “Try not. DO. Or do not. There is no ‘try.”

She did.

It seemed like such a bizarre, non-fortune-cookiesh fortune that I actually saved it. The next day (honestly!), I was visiting a friend who pulled out a dress and said, “I was at a garage sale last weekend and got this for you!” It was a great dress (fit perfectly!), and I carried that fortune around in my wallet for years, if only to remind myself how wonderfully weird our universe can be.

I never got the cake.
