It's Chinese people's most lucky number!

Thank you. Mucho. I'm going to be optimi...Mmmm. Thank you. Mucho. I'm going to be optimistic that one of those superstition links will jiggle my brain just enough to make a short story fall out of it by Monday. <br /><br />Superstitions fit perfectly with the kind of story I was thinking of, but looking up a list of them didn't even occur to me!<br /><br />Minimum 500 words, for class. Why did I get myself into this?<br /><br />Anyways. A tad more on topic. I don't like "round" numbers - which is what I call even numbers, for some reason. Odd numbers are angular and jagged. I don't really care for 5, either. It fits too nicely. 3 is ok, 7 is good, 9 is iffy. The 3x3 makes it feel almost round. 11 is fine, 13 is even ok, 15 no, 17 yes, 19 ok unless I'm playing cribbage, 21, 23 are ok, 25 no way, it's really round, and 27, oddly enough, is ok. 33 is good, 99 is not.<br /><br />And yes, I *have* spent way too much time thinking about it, and no, I don't get it either..<br /><br />And black kitties are a good thing, but not ladders. I catch myself avoiding cracks in the sidewalk. I'm no longer allowed to tell my ex to "drive safe" - he's nodded off driving every time I have.<br /><br />And I don't care how many spiders you squish. I was always nice to them til one put me in the hospital, and so I've stopped being nice.<br /><br />But do NOT harm a praying mantis, and always put ladybugs on the roses.<br /><br />(And "word" verification?
