Friday the 13th
Yup, thats today... and I'm waiting patiently for something to happen - good, bad or ugly- a sign of things to come. Just something to add to what has been a busy & exciting week. Of course, I still haven't written about my legendary incident at the Legends of Rock! And I'm not sure I can put it up here yet!!
Anyway, here are a couple of 'Friday the 13th's that I do recall:
Friday the 13th Feb 1998: 1st Year of college. Mints and me were on a bus to Kodaikanal. To meet her ex-boyfriend. Was also a full moon night, and the bus was full of romancers going to spend a weekend in the hills. All I could think of was that I was at the mercy of this lunatic Tamil Nadu Bus Driver.
Friday the 13th Dec 1991: Class VII. School Teams (Swim, BB, Soccer, Debate) Party. I had the biggest crush ever on a boy from the Soccer Team. And he was there! He was shy!!! Damn did it begin then... my affiliation with the shy ones??!!! Anyway after I was hanging out with his best friend for a greater part of the evening, he finally asked me to dance :o) I think it was the last song!
I can safely say I'm not Paraskevidekatriaphobic! (Paraskevidekatriaphobia: Fear of Friday the 13th)
Anyway, lets see how the day progresses. Another evening at Pecos - yippy! Yippy... thats a daft word, yeah?! But then what about Paraskevidekatriaphobia?!

Hmmmm. I always thought Triskaedekaphobia was the word for that. My Friday the 13th hasn't been too bad too, though there's some of it still left. Just put up my second blog, so do check it out. Just click away to www.pitwall.blogspot.com
Ah, i was hoping you'd read this - showing off with me new word see :o) i think i'm right... tho i won't argue with you, Iquew!!!
Friday the 13th - i went out with one boy and spoke to another one all evening and people say that i messed up. Guess i did....That was my Friday the 13th(pretty disastrous)..... well thats Rajni:)
You could have argued and won, in this case. Just checked up Wikipedia and here 's the verdict. Paraskavedekatriaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia is indeed the fear of Friday the 13th and is the more specialised form of triskaedekaphobia, which is the fear of the number 13. Close but not yet there.
