superstitions

[deliops]

so pretty much all of us have a couple of them... you know, like getting seven years bad luck for breaking a mirror or knocking on wood...
my friends make funof me all the time because i am so incredibly superstitious! I really love making wishes on things, like kissing your hand and hitting the ceiling of your car when driving through a yellow light, lifting your feet and making a wish when you drive over train tracks, making wishes on pennies and throwing them into water (my mom and i must have thrown about 200 pennies out the window over bridges when we were on a road trip last year), or making a wish on fava beans and throwing them into moving water while not looking then repeating every seven days three times. I also really hate the number four and i try to avoid doing things four times, being the forth in line, etc, because it makes me very nervous! I know it sounds stupid but i really do believe in things like wishes and signs and whathaveyou.

so i was wondering what weird superstitions you guys have??

My sister when she sneeze will say 'bless you *her name*, thankyou *her name' the she will clap 5 times. She claps because supposedly if you say bless you to yourself you kill 5 faeries or something and clapping makes new ones. Shes rather strange

I can imagine. Does she get wierd looks on the bus or whatever?

Who doesn't get weird looks when they get on buses?

White Rabbit, White Rabbit, White Rabbit at the start of every new month, the first words I speak before I speak to anyone. Though because this month is a bad one, that's why I didn't say White Rabbit

What an interesting coincidence, moovok! I eat a white rabbit at the beginning of every month!

I tend to choose number thirteen, because ironically it's my lucky number. That's the only superstition I have.

I get lots of weird/scared looks from old ladies in the bus (metallica shirt, dressed in black, chain, long hair) then I act super nice and people get confused.I love it when they get confused.

I thoroughly enjoy the looks of fear and supsicion my gothiv friends get. It is a commonly known fact amongst youth that Goth's are generally nerdish, but adults haven't figured that out yet. An impressive defense mechanism, if you ask me ;)
