I have contemplated several different themes for my weblog...I have considered superstitions, music, photos, and fashion. I think I am pretty confident in the theme of superstitions and hope to stick with it. I am the most superstitious person you will ever meet...I have to knock on wood several times a day, I skip the cracks in sidewalks, I don't open umbrellas in the house, I refuse to walk under ladders, and several other personal superstitions I have developed over the years. It first started when I was little when my mom just simply said, "knock on wood" when she was talking about how everything was going smoothly for a party she was having. Then, it escalated over the years into something that I HAVE to do, or I start to think what I thought would happen will happen. Even when I am just thinking it to myself and not saying it out loud, I feel the absolute need to knock on wood about what I was thinking. Also I think about something happening while I’m walking to class and in my head say, it’s going to happen if I do not step on this crack right now!!! I think it has actually become a necessity in my everyday life. It happens with several things I do, like washing my hands or reading a book, or looking at the clock...I just started to psych myself out that what I am thinking will happen in my head, will happen unless I do one of those things I have convinced myself is necessary...I know what your all thinking. I must be obsessive compulsive or something...its nothing like that, its just a mental thing. I have so convinced myself that I have to do certain things in order to make negative things not occur...
