So it's friday the 13th, anyone expecting anything weird to happen? I'm gonna avoid black cats and breaking mirrors.

Shit I didn't realize until now that today was Friday the 13th!

maybe I'll watch my friday the 13th dvd collection.

Didn't even occur to me. Comforting, considering I have a 4-hour drive to make later tonite...

a side note: my birthday has fallen on friday the 13th quite a few times in my life.

We just found out that we're losing half our active duty force on base due to BRAC.

pretty good article talkin about the myth It's actually quite interesting how the superstition just popped up

"Even more problematic, for this or any other theory positing premodern origins for Friday the 13th superstitions, is the fact that no one has been able to document the existence of such beliefs prior to the 19th century. If people who lived before the late 1800s perceived Friday the 13th as a day of special misfortune, no evidence has been found to prove it. Some scholars suspect the stigma is a thoroughly modern phenomenon exacerbated by 20th-century media hype."

Like every 6 years or so perhaps?

We had something real weird happen in one of our neighboring cities today. Some arsonist decided to set off mutliple fires around the city. It ended up being a wherehouse that burned to the ground and about eight homes that were destroyed but five of those homes were vacant.

My birthday is today and also born on a Friday. I don't expect anything weird to happen today.. cept it was nice sleeping to rain. I remember the last time my birthday landed on Friday the 13th was 8th grade I think.... so maybe every 3 years =P.

Is it said people who were born on Friday the 13th are superstitous? <spelling>

Ill be taking my last 2 exams. If thats not a bad omen, I dont know what is.

My battery died in my brand new car. It's a curse I tell's ya.

My nephew was born on Friday the 13th (July) and my sister named him Jason Michael Curtis...all coincidental.

It can't be every three years. Didn't you ever notice that your birthday moves ahead exactly one day of the week every year except leap years? That's on the Julian calendar, of course.

That's true. Well I wasn't thinking so much on it, but using my computer.. I just check back when my birthday landed on a Friday before today and it was 1994. So maybe around 10 years for me.

Didn't realize that until now. Just signed up for a summer class though. Yikes!

They're going to be playing sopme horror movies at school tonight, I think.

I had a pretty good day today.
