FRIDAY THE 13th!
OMG. It's Friday the 13th! Now I am usually superstitious, but this particular day always seems to go quite well for me.
Which is good.
I think being afraid of numbers is going a little too far. Having said that, I don't like black cats or walking under ladders (I got a bump on my head for my troubles yesterday). I've managed to obtain a picture of a young man braving the bad luck with the 3 drains. I'm now looking on Wikipedia to see what else people don't like.

Friday the 13th Myths:
• If you cut your hair on Friday the 13th, someone in your family will die.
• A child born on Friday the 13th will be unlucky for life.
• If a funeral procession passes you on Friday the 13th, you will be the next to die.

''Friday the 13th Anecdotes:
• In 1913, a New York pastor tried to assuage couples' fears by offering to marry them for free on Friday the 13th.
• In 1939, a small town in Indiana forced all black cats to wear bells on Friday, Oct. 13. When the measure seemed to work (nothing bad happened, at any rate), the town continued the practice for the next three years.
• At the time, Oct. 13, 1989, was the second largest drop of the Dow in history. Nicknamed the Friday-the-13th mini-crash, these days it's not even in the top 10. That might be the scariest fact of all.

I found a penny today, picked it up. Don't know if I had good luck all day long yet though. Hope I did with my english mock. And that I can repeat it for the real and my other 4 exams! :)
I also got an image of a funny faceplant. Cause I saw a kid fall over the other day. And (she was okay, I did try and help) it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Cause you know kids don't try and break their falls, they expect someone to catch 'em. So she just went DOWWWWN! like a ton of bricks. Should have been filmed. Was the DEFINITION of a faceplant! So good.
So there you have it folks, Friday the 13th. I'll leave it to you to decide on it. Me? I LLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKE IT. The thought that a number/day can scare the whole world makes me ROFL endlessly!
