Friday Five

1. Are you superstitious?
Not really. I think there are a few superstitions that I believed in as a kid - like walking under ladders, breaking mirrors and stepping on cracks.

2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?
I went to lunch with a co-worker to a Chinese restaurant that almost smacked a cup of tea out of my hand, because she thought it was bad luck to have the first cup of tea out of the pot. She made me pour it back into the pot and then re-pour myself a cup. Then, when the cookies came she wouldn't let anyone take their own cookie. It had to be given to you by the person sitting across from you. I thought it to be a bit bizarre.

3. Believer or not, what's your favorite superstition?
That you can't see the bride in her dress before the wedding, I think I would adhere to that one.

4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual?
I believe some people are 'lucky' in certain situations. I do have a 'lucky' number.

5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
I don't believe in it, but I think it's interesting. I have read my horoscope on occasion and did check to see what sign I was most compatible with, but I don't take it too seriously.
