Superstitions, Jinxes and Theories

What are your thoughts on superstition? Do you believe in lucky charms? Do you believe in the unlucky number 13? Do you believe in doing or not doing certain things in order not to jeopardise another thing?

Let me share with you certain theories I've developed due to life experiences which may seem to be baseless , irrational and maybe downright ridiculous.

One "superstition" i have is that I never ever come out of an exam, exclaiming that the exam was a breeze and that I nailed it. I believe that you must always think that you did the absolute worse in the exam so as not to jinx your chances of getting a good grades. On hindsight, it was probably a safeguard against overconfidence and major disappointments if one ended up without the results that one expected.

Another one interesting theory i have is that if you're interested in someone, you shouldn't publicize it. You shouldn't gush about it, you shouldnt analyse it, you shouldnt ask your best friends about their opinion on the guy/gal. Instead, you should live in denial, telling yourself that you're not really into him/her and that he/she is just a friend and that it'll never be between the both of you. This sounds rather silly but i think it's true, judging from the fact that i have yet to get together with any of my crushes. So the next time im infatuated with someone, I'm gonna tape my mouth shut.

The next theory is quite typical. Your dreams will be the opposite of what will happen in real life. So, rejoice if you get a nightmare, eg. failing your exams, breaking up with a boyfriend and getting fired from work. Chances are, in real life, you're gonna get straight As, your boyfriend's gonna propose and you're getting a promotion at work. Woohoo. Dont' believe me? Try it out.

One last theory i've observed, which relates to "crushes". However, this is only from the female point of view. The guy that you're interested in, who seemed to enjoy your company because of your personality i.e that you're funny, bubbly and all that will always end up not with you but with the typical girl. By typical i mean, the kinda girl whose physical attributes consist of a slim body, long straight hair, big doe eyes who always seemed more or less helpless and always seemed to have either a low husky sweet voice or a high pitched whiny "manja" voice. They often don't seemed intelligent but that is a myth. And then thats when you want to pick up a knife and stab someone.

If you don't believe me or that you disagree with me, try it out for urself. Test out my theories and give me your feedback. Hehs.
