Friday Five
1. Are you superstitious? Not as bad as I used to be, and definitely not like my mother is--you'll see below.
2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition? My mother has actually killed turtles for some odd reason, she also always slept with a glass of water under the head of the bed, and would absolutely freak out if I ever put her purse on the floor for any reason. I never asked, because I just didn't care after a while.
3. Believer or not, what's your favorite superstition? My favorite used to be the one about crossing a black cat's path. In younger days, I remember searching out black cats to cross their paths. They used to scamper off pretty quickly when I'd run up to try and get into their paths.
4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual? Somewhat. I used to have a favorite maroon Rusty shirt, I always had the most fun when I wore that shirt. Not so much lucky though, I suppose. Miss that shirt.
5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not? Not really, and one of the reasons why is the Hispanic guy my mom used to watch on Telemundo or whatever Hispanic channel we used to get. Imagine Liberace, if he were Hispanic (he wasn't was he?), and did horoscopes. He's still on TV, I believe. Scary.
