are you superstitious?
I am not.

I dont care if I wear something yellow
I dont care if I go under stairs, or if the salt falls, or
if a mirror is broken or if I walk near a black cat

any other superstitions?

There is one popular superstition I remember where, when
eating grapenuts, you must open a window and shout "My name
is Zelda" after every 4th spoonful. If you don't you will
wake up the next day as a worm. Personally, I believe in it.

I can only have the volumes of TVs/stereos/etc on certain
numbers... 14, 21, 32, 40, 51, 65, 71, 80, 100. And I flick
light switches off 7 times... off/on/off/on/off/on/off.

I won't even go near number 13. If I won 13 million dollars,
I'd give away 1 mil before I even recieved the cash. Well...
maybe half a mil. I can live with 12.5.

superstition is a re-direction of personal blame

superstition is learnt, you aren't born superstitious. taken
to the extreme it can lead to OCDs

I have something similar to an Obsessive Compulsive
Disorder... when I spend a night alone in my house, I HAVE
to scan every room for intruders... I go in every room and
take a quick glance, I check every closet and under every
bed. If I don't do this, I feel like I'm going to get my
throat slashed nocturnally and I can't sleep! I even feel
nervous during the ''clean sweep''. It's ridiculous. Great
feeling when I assure myself that my castle is secure
though. Makes it worthwhile.

It only takes two minutes an evening, so it doesn't have a
greatly negative effect on my life or anything, like a lot
of OCDs can... they can mess you up. But it's pretty fucked
up! I only have to do it when I'm home alone, thank Allah.

there is this one superstition, where the person thinks
there's this thing called "God". It's pretty funny.

In my town, if you see a piece of sellotape on the floor,
you have to stick it behind your right ear and leave it
there for 12 hours.
Word has it that if you do not do this, each of your hands
will turn into a swarm of bees and fly you into the sun.
