Superstitions and Your Kooky Ways

No, seriously.

How superstitious are you as a person? Do you have your own, or do you obey the conventions of black cats and mirror breaking?

Personally, I'll step under a ladder or spill the salt or whatever and not give a shit, but when it comes to my own life, I'm incredibly superstitious. I don't try to be, it just happens. For example: I recently acquired a pair of boxer briefs with four-leaved clovers on them, and figured they were lucky. Well, I wear them twice, and have a terrible day each time, so I decide their unlucky, and recently I've only been wearing them if I absolutely have to.

Another example: I always, always wear mismatching socks, just because I think it makes the day better.

So luck, superstition, conventions, your own, whatever. Go ahead.

    Fell on Black Days by Soundgarden. Literally every time I hear this song, my day goes horribly bad or something in my life takes a nosedive. I'm sure it's all psychosomatic, but the second I hear those opening chords, I change the station.

    That's dumb. No seriously, that's really stupid.

    Superstitions are dumb.

    I'm not even going to bother pointing out your incorrect word usage because this is so dumb.

    I don't know how many people follow baseball, but while Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander was pitching a no-hitter, the broadcast team would not say no-hitter until he actually did it to make sure that they wouldn't jinx him.

    I believe that luck follows a sinusoidal curve. Times of good luck and good fortune seem to correspond to times of bad luck and shittiness. The god of luck is a fair god.

    No, I just remember something from high school biology about it taking 30 seconds of rubbing under hot water to get rid of most bacteria, and it's stuck with me.
    Just like how when I get in the shower, I shampoo, soap up, and then brush my teeth, in that order, every time.

    Luck is just when a chance occurence happens to be in some way beneficial to you. If it is detrimental to you is, that specific random chance occurence was bad luck. If was nuetral you don't even think about it.
