Day 13: I Bet Stevie Wonder Can't Write a Song About These....

Superstitions...a'ha...(Look up Superstitious-Stevie Wonder)

Since today is day 13 of my endeavors (and day 3 for working on my studio final, so I have to make this quick...but not lacking in quality!), I thought I would talk about myself and the superstitions I've grown up with.

Yes its always about me

 so stop yo complainin'

While there has always been the western superstitions in my life, the number 13, walking under ladders, black cats, the horrors of spilling salt...etc

Korean superstitions have always stayed with me, not because they were actually scary...

but because they were kind of...well...odd...

So heres a list of the strangest Korean superstitions.

1) Don't buy shoes for your lover, you're only giving them comfortable footwear for them to run away..(whaat?)

2)Don't write someones name in red, unless you wanna kill them. (I was young and stupid when I first heard this one, so whenever my teacher wrote my name in red, I thought they wanted to kill me)

3) If you are killed in your dreams, that means you will have good luck for the rest of your life...(I once dreamt that my mom was after me with a butcher knife...but she wasn't able to catch me..."Damnit mom, why didn't ya kill me?")

4) I almost forgot about this one, In Asia, the character for "4" is similar to the character for death...So the buildings in Asia don't have a '4th' floor. (I used to freak out whenever I was going to learn about the number on Sesame Street)

5)If you cut your toenails at night, a ghost will come and kill you...(I have a strange feeling this was made by some pissed off Korean mom, who didn't want toenail clippings all over the place)

6) If you have a fan running as you sleep with the windows closed. The fan will kill you...(I..I don't even know where to begin to understand this one)

7)Don't touch your eyes after handling a moth, you'll go blind.

8) Don't whistle at night. A snake will come after you.

9) People with type B blood are not to be trusted.

Then there are the superstitions that I think my mom made up to mess with me...

Thanks mom...

1) If you sing too loudly, your dead relatives will come at night and tell you to shut up.

2) If you don't eat all the rice in your bowl, the number of grains you leave behind will be number of your pimples on your face.

3) If you don't go to sleep before 8, for every second that passes by, you are shortening your lifespan...(oh man if this were actually true...i'd be screwed)

4) If you howl at the moon when its full without clothes on, your wishes will come true..(I didn't actually try this one, but with the way my life is going, i'm willing to try anything)

5) My grandma used to tell me that people with lighter colored eyes have a demon inside them.

And thats all I can remember for now.

I guess the superstitions I believe in are rather weird.

1) On the day of the full moon, I always anticipate an out of the ordinary moment.

2) When a dream seems too real (or I remember a lot of details from it) I believe it will happen sometime in the future...the time where I dreamt my mom coming after me with a butcher knife doesn't seem too far off..ha..

3) I don't like sleeping with a mirror facing me, I keep thinking someone in the mirror is going to show up.

4)When I'm alone, I don't like going going outside after 12...

5)Its not really a superstition, but whenever I look at the clock..I seem to catch it when it says 3:33, 4:44 (eek), 5:55, 2:22..(I almost put, 7:77 just now...that doesn't work Crystal..)

6) I don't like sleeping with a chair facing me..I keep imagining someone sitting there watching me..(sometimes Abe Lincoln for some reason)

And thats all I can think of, write about today..

I hope I didn't screw up your daily rhythm or anything...make you all paranoid..

muahaha..

(Now's the time where I get incredibly cheesy like an enchilada..

(unfortunately, not as delicious)

If you care about me, shut up and read!

 Lately I've been feeling down about my life. I almost gave up writing on this blog today. I thought what I was doing was actually incredibly silly and that I should focus on other things..

But as I thought more about it...this blog is the only thing right now that consistantly makes me smile. Instead of feeling sad, I spend more time trying to remember all the moments in my life that made me laugh and figuring out ways to share them with you all.

Its really great when someone tells me my stories brightened up their day..

because it really brightens up mine...(d'aww so corny, but true)

So I want to say thank you for your support, thank you for reading,

I hope i'll continue to make you guys smile..I've still got a long way to go

Love,

Moon

You can go throw up now.

damn...now I want an enchilada)
