Superstition

Why am I writing about Superstition. Well It's Friday 13th and. Nothing bad has happened on any Friday 13th before but, I'm home alone and rather hoping something will happen... (Is that normal?). I have never been superstitious. I've been fairly paranoid, but I have always thought people, such as my brother, who are superstitious are... well super stupid.

Superstition is a subject that I have always been fascinated in and I am so pleased it has now been listed onto the dooyoo database so everybody can share their experiences and what they believe in. For me the subject has been very apparent in my life due to my Nan and Dad who are both extremely superstitious and instead of telling them they were mad I have followed suit in some of the things that I do in everyday life.
