    Yes I do, but not because I am superstitious, at least not in the normal sense. In HS I had a huge crush on my best friend, who happened to be female. I figured it was a sure thing but later found out that she had a 'secret guy' who she saw all the time that no one knew about. Anyways, I stopped being friends with her because (emo alert) I couldn't deal with being just friends with her. Anyways, she had some weird love for the numbers 13 and 56, lucky numbers and whatnot. But now they follow me, everytime I look at a clock it's 56, etc etc. So yes, I do not like the number 13.

    Do you understand that the second you
    look in the mirror and you're happy with
    what you see, baby, you just
    lost the battle!

    Lol.

    I'm not sure if it was just that post that made me laugh, or the fact that I heard the x-files music and pictured a monkey holding poeple hostage in my head.

    The sad part is that I actually remembered what that meant from the 'phobia' section back in medical terminology ...

    I thought this was about Triska who use to post here a lot.
