Friday the 13th

Hey! Hey blog followers, so sorry that I haven't written in a while--- to be honest, I completely forgot about starting this blog. I originally started writing this blog in the summer of 2008 when I had moved to Pittsburgh and at the time was unemployed. I planned on using it as an outlet of some sort but never got around to that.

Well, no time like the present than my favorite day of the year—Friday the 13th--- and yes, for all of you that want to know—I am wearing all black today!

So in celebration of the day, here's a little trivia for you:

Did you know that some people have a fear of Friday the 13ths; the medical term for it is paraskavedekatriaphobia. You start to wonder if you can just throw a whole bunch of letters together and add 'phobia' to the end and create a new word.

In 2009, Friday the 13th will occur three times, February, March and November. In general, any month that begins on a Sunday will have a Friday the 13th in it. Don't believe me … test it out yourself. (I love math!)

Friday the 13th just so happens to be the first horror movie that I saw, my brother forced me to watch it unbeknownst to my mother. Today in theatres across the country the remake will be released and I will NOT be in the theatres watching it. I saw the trailer for it only twice and had 4 nightmares about it in the course of a week. One of my nightmares was so lucid that I 'woke' up during the middle of it… and I was trapped between waking up for real and being tied down unable to move. This is puzzling beyond words because that kind of ammo is more associated with Nightmare on Elm Street than with Jason!

Today, instead, I plan on returning the favor to all black cats that have doomed me to bad luck in the past. I'm going to walk in their path, give 'em a taste of their own medicine!
