Well, if we all make it through today, there's another one next month. I wonder what the odds are against back to back Fridays the thirteenth. Go ahead, check your calendar.

It's gonna suck because I have a 7 hour statistics class! But at least I'll be with 24 great people (my doctoral cohort) and in between cursing SPSS (nasty stats program!) in the lab, will be laughing most of the time.

Plus, it's raining! I <3 the rain...even if Blackie doesn't.

youre not a stranger, I only dance with strangers, once a year as there is a law against me dancing more than that. It's scary and resembles an epileptic seizure.

Dang Don those are good ideas.

There are 3 Friday the 13th's this year. If the first of the month falls on a Saturday then we have Friday the 13th. There was something on the radio today about this date and it was crazy some of the things people do because of the day and date.

I must say my day started off pretty bad. I try not to be too caught up in bad things happening on this day but I must say it was not a very good day for me. The one good thing about today is that it is the end of the week.

I'm not paraskavedekatriaphobic, but I fear that the remake of 'Friday the 13th' may suck...

Quite low, if there is one in February, there's going to be one in March in non-leap years, when there'll also be one in November. Otherwise they're at least three months apart.

I like Friday the 13th

I received my high school diploma 29 years ago on Friday the 13th. What a great day
