The Friday Five
General February 13th, 2004
Today’s Friday Five:
1. Are you superstitious?
Not really. Most things I do out of habit, if I onced believed in them, and those habits stuck.
2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?
I think the things people do in casinos at slot machines or before throwing dice are just plain weird.
3. Believer or not, what’s your favorite superstition?
The Stevie Wonder song.
4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual?
Sometimes it’s luck, sometimes it’s skill. I like low prime numbers and multiples of 3. I always put on the right sock/shoe/glove first since I was told once that right is the lucky side and left is bad. (See point #1 above.)
5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
I don’t believe, but I think it’s fun. It’s real easy for someone to read about the qualities of their sign, and agree with them … just like they could agree with any of the qualities of any other sign. But horoscopes are fun. Behavior is a function of environment and personal experience, and is not dictated by which planet we’re currently under.
….
And there’s my five.
