Crazy superstitious

My superstitious nature is outlandish, even by Gypsy standards. For example:

1)      I believe heads up pennies are good luck, especially 1977 ones.

2)      The absolute avoidance of the number 13

3)      Wishing for shit to myself on 11:11

4)      Black cats

5)      Crossing the path of owls

6)      Weird things occur between 0300 and 0400

7)      The # 7 is lucky

8)      And of course four leaf clovers are good luck

I am starting to think that my behavior is what some psychiatric professionals would refer to as “obsessive”. If I see a penny on the ground I HAVE TO FUCKING look at if It is heads up and will stop dead in my tracks just to pick it up; you can picture what happens if I come across more than one penny at a time. As for the last time I ignored the number 13 I got a room on the 13^th floor at the Hilton in Austin and ended the night with several heavily armed APD cops knocking at my hotel door and dragging myself and an Army buddy out of our rooms( but that’s another story). Since then I don’t even pump gas at a #13 pump nor have my radio set to 26 because somehow that must be double the bad luck, right? And you can bet your buns that I have a penny super glued to my desk with "Rub me for good luck" scrawled next to it. Maybe when I get the much needed psychiatric help one day my therapist will explain to me why I am obsessed with trying to get the universe to roll its dice in my favor. Hahaha i just realized that i am fitting the exact definition of insanity with doing the same thing over and over again and expecting something different to happen.
