    Are any of you superstitious? If so, what are you superstitious of in particular? If not, why so?
     
    I'm not overly superstitious as such. I find alot of the superstitions to be quite intriguing though.
    To be perfectly honest, I find black cats to be the nicest looking of all the house cats there are.
     
    I'm not superstious about anything but walking in between a ladder, even though I know nothing will happen I still avoid it. I've done it once when I was smaller and nothing happened.
     
    I'm not too superstitious at all. I'm open to a lot of things, but I've always found superstitions to be rather...weird, for lack of a better word. Heck, I wouldn't have my cute black kitty if I was.
     
    Ever since watching that Fairly OddParents episode involving Friday the 13th, I was somewhat superstitious, but now, I'm not that superstitious. I don't see the point of some superstitions, though, particularly the "step on a crack, break your mother's back" one.
     
    I'm not really superstitious at all. About the only one I believe is that if you threaten to break a video game, it'll let you win. XD
     
    Nah, I'm not superstitious.

    A lot of the "positive" ones, such as blowing dandelions, and tossing coins into fountains...

    Well, I observe those for fun. :D
     
    I'm really superstitious when it comes to sports. If I'm watching football or hockey or something and my team is doing bad, I'll leave the room because I just have it in my mind that it's my fault they are losing since I'm watching. If I'm not watching but it sounds like my team is losing from the angry shouts of my family, I have to go watch. Or... you know, sometimes my team just plays better when I'm in front of the T.V, but I'm not watching the game, so I'll sit there reading and only watch the replays. I know it's stupid and it is clearly not my fault when they're down, but I do it anyways.

    I also knock on wood every time something bad happens or, in the case of watching sports, someone in my family or the announcer says something that I think will jinx my team. (And in the case of actually playing sports, any time my team is down or someone says something to jinx the team... my coach makes sure there's always a wooden clipboard around so I always have wood to knock on)...

    Again... I realize that all of these things are clearly ridiculous, but I still do them.
     
    Yes I am. Not that knocking over the salt, killing ladybugs, or opening an umbrella inside kind of stuff though.
    Being superstitious is really fun. I wouldn't want to be some everything-has-to-be-logical-and-justified person. Boring.

    I can't say that I am as superstitious as other people though. I mean, my mom; she's very superstitious. Buuuut that also means I have someone to talk to about this. :'D

    I'm super superstitious, apparently. (no pun intended) I'd like to think I'm not, but sometimes I'll say something, and I'll think I just jinxed myself. I walk home usually everyday, and I'm careful not to step on any cracks. ._.

    Used to be me lol. But now I am not superstitious. I have a friend who is, and I do all sorts of superstitious things, like spilling salt, walking under a ladder a couple of times etc. when I am around him to pee him off :)

    Well, I'm not sure. One could see my opinion that all mondays are terrible as superstition, but one could also see them as just a generalization. If one would take my username completely serious, that is.

    Aaah, what am I writing again? Anyways: I'm not afraid of fridays, the number 13, black cats (unless they're rabid or something), or eating while there's lightning outside. I am afraid of broken mirrors, but that's because of the pointy glass shards lying around everywhere. So I'm not really superstitious, or am I?
     
    Not really superstitious per se, but when we go to Chinese restaurants and get fortune cookies, I open mine and rip up the fortune without reading it. They bother me and I always heed to them. My family always says "Okay, why are you wasting it if you don't want it?" and my reply is "Because had I not grabbed that one, you guys would have read all of yours allowed and one of those was possibly the one I would have chose and then I'd have to heed to all of it."

    Then I smush it in food that's still on my plate.
