A lovely friday the 13th

I was just thinking about how today, Friday the 13th, is right before Valentine's Day. I wonder how many people delivered their Valentine's lines earlier to avoid bad luck, and how many are putting it off until the day of. I'm almost certain that SDUSD gave students Friday off just because it was the 13th. "Well, there's a small reason to do it, and not really a reason not to do it," I imagine someone shrugging while drawing up the proposal. "It makes the students happy, avoids a day at school some may dread, and provides more time for Valentine's plans."

I haven't been wary of Friday the 13th for a few years. Even if it were to actually bring bad luck, I can't think of any bad luck that I would care about very much right now. In fact, if any bad luck were to occur, now would sure the most convenient time for it. Or maybe this year's bad luck with be not having anything bad happen at all, to wait for a time when it'll hit me harder?

Nah, I seriously don't believe in the whole Friday the 13th superstition. Same goes for Jason Voorhees, but it's entertaining to consider him. I never did actually watch anything exclusively in the Friday the 13th franchise. I watched the Angry Video Game Nerd play an old Friday the 13th game, and you and I watched Freddy vs. Jason together. It'd be a favor if he came after me today, so I'd say I'm safe from that, too. People in horror movies are only killed when they want to live, right?

I hope you haven't had any bad luck today. Don't be paranoid. The only horrible thing about today is that it isn't tomorrow, right? Heheh, enjoy yourself until then!
