I just broke a mirror.

That 7 years bad luck thing *is* just on old wives tale - right?

Take a handfull of salt and throw it over your left shoulder to ward off the evil.


Or is it the right shoulder.



Aw, hell. Do both.

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

Then take a toad and bury it in the crossroads.

[martonsmistress.livejournal.com]

yes...but it must be at midnight on the night of a full moon when in virgo and moving into the house of jupiter.

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

and the crossroads can't be under concrete or asphalt, lol.

[martonsmistress.livejournal.com]

very true! forgot about that. now tux...also remember...if you see a man in black riding a white horse backwards while burying the toad, then you must spit in all four direction while crossing your eyes. then you must bite your thumb and say, "Gibildy, gobildy, goo."

*spews diet coke all over monitor*

*mop, mop, mop*

[martonsmistress.livejournal.com]

sorry *helps you clean up*

[athos-silvanus.livejournal.com]

The "gibbeldy, gobbeldy, goo" part is the most potent bit, though. Mustn't forget it.

[nienna-weeper.livejournal.com]

BUWAHAHAHAHA!

Stop that. *giggle*

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

*Snork* You're nuts. :P

Good thing I like nuts, eh? ;)

*Hugs*

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

but it's fun!!!

I hesitate to contradict but - midnight, yes, but it should be in the dark of the moon.. And isn't there something about a chicken?

[martonsmistress.livejournal.com]

yes kissing the chicken...but that's if a black cat crosses your path...THEN you do all this at the dark of the moon and instead of spitting you kiss the chicken.

[keiliss.livejournal.com]

... kiss the chicken in all four directions? Oh, walk to each cross point. I get it. And dig up the toad.

[martonsmistress.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY!

i think *scratches head*

[nienna-weeper.livejournal.com]

No, kiss the cat and throw the chicken over the moon. While spitting. But only North and only on Fridays, with the toad in your pocket.

I think the 7 years bad luck thing only works if you believe it! :p I deliberately walk under ladders and pick up gloves all the time and it's never done me any harm.

Dad broke a mirror a few years ago and I'm sure he'll assure you he hasn't had abnormally bad luck since.

:)

[thalassa-ipx.livejournal.com]

It was nice to meet you Tux...
LOL

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

*howls* Good one, Thal!

[martonsmistress.livejournal.com]

i may be goofing off with aglarien, but seriously...it is only bad luck if you believe it honey. *hugs*

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

*Giggle* It's OK... you're cracking me up here! :P

Besides I realised that I'll probably have forgotten about it in less than seven *weeks* never mind years!

*Hugs*

[sirielle.livejournal.com]

That's working only as the Self-fulfilling prophecy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-fulfilling_prophecy, especially if you believe it.

I say treat it as a wish of 7 good years, why not? :D

[sirielle.livejournal.com]

As others said - I ignore all these superstitions, they never do any harm to me :)

What a fun they made with spitting on crossings XD

[athos-silvanus.livejournal.com]

if you think you're going to have bad luck, it will come to you.

Just forget about it, and replace the mirror.

*hugs*

[keiliss.livejournal.com]

Self fulfilling prophecy, yes - but if you'd feel better doing something about it, the correct thing is to bury the pieces in the garden. Just after the full moon is a good time.

Didn't cut yourself did you? That's where the real bad luck comes into it, lol.

*hugs*

[larian.livejournal.com]

Oh please, you'll just have pissy elves to deal with until you get a new one. Rumil is already muttering about not visiting until you do, as he likes to look at himself ...well, his butt you know!

[lonely-lycanth.livejournal.com]

It's only real if you let it be. Your luck is what you make of it.

[nienna-weeper.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[nienna-weeper.livejournal.com]

I'm soooo kidding!

[meyerlin.livejournal.com]

Don't worry! Just glue it back together, you'll be fine...

[chaotic-binky.livejournal.com]

I have broken so many mirrors that i would be in for about a million years bad luck! But then again I like to tempt fate lol Hugs Binky x

[trekqueen.livejournal.com]

ok as per rules, I am commenting on your latest entry to say I added you as my friend but since you *know* me and I'm not a stalkerish type or serial friender... I think I can say pweeetty pwease with a cherry on top may I be your friend? :D

and yes, I think its an old wives tale, just like those black kitties crossing the street in front of you on friday the 13th as you walk under a ladder. ^_^

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

Heehee yeah, you're ok - it's mostly there for the people I haven't previously had any contact with. You are most welcome and I'll friend you right back. :)

BTW if you peek about 4 entries back there are some pics of 'Harry Kim' I took a couple of weeks ago. If you like him, that is!

[trekqueen.livejournal.com]

bah I'll go look now! :D I met him once back in 2001 when I went to a convention in LA, nicest guy and he took a pic with me. :D Saw him again in 2006 with long hair. I was shocked I tell ya! :O
