Friday the 13th!

9 out of 10 people agree: Punxsutawney Phill is 100 times scarier than Jason.

So today is Friday the Thirteenth...and I'm wondering, was Friday the 13th as scary before Jason died at Crystal Lake? In my opinion Thursday the 12th was much more terrifying this month than the 13th was. Doesn't that sort of make sense though? If Friday the 13th is bad luck then consequently all of the other days of that month also must be bad luck too right? It wouldn't be Friday the 13th with all of those other days. I mean clearly, since Thursday the 12th was so bad for me this week I can only assume that every Thursday the 12th must also be bad luck...it is, after all, the day that leads us up to the famed Friday the 13th, how can it not have a little bad luck attached to it? If anything Saturday the 14th HAS to be unlucky as well because there is surely some left over bad luck that needs to spill into the next day.

Anyhow, anything that could have gone wrong did go wrong yesterday. We can start off the day with my insane chapped lips. Anyone who knows me knows that I am addicted to my chapstick, but yesterday was a little out of control, I needed to reapply every 5 minutes. (By the way...chapstick is additive, it does contain alcohol, and I am pretty sure that my lips no longer know how to hydrate themselves on their own anymore). They my foot nearly gets broken on my way off the bus. (Although, those of you who think that all New Yorkers are mean and rude, you clearly haven't met the woman who gave me a bunch of tissues when I started crying) Then my printer breaks, and then I can't find the right file to send in an email to have someone else print it for me...and then...do I really need to go on? I mean, CLEARLY...it was a bad day!

So what was it? The chicken or the egg? Did Jason make Friday the 13th terrifying or did the idea of Friday the 13th make Jason a terrifying movie? I Googled it, but I was not able to find a concrete answer. I google everything, and I am sort of like Google too...well at least to a couple of my friends. My friend Ilana insists on calling me for everything. She asks me about anything from information on sharks to information on Punxsutawney Phil. (Although, I am pretty sure that everyone knows that Punxsutawney Phil lives in the state of Pennsylvania. He has his own website for Christ's sake!)

What's with that stupid groundhog anyways? I think that all of this doesn't make sense, if Phil sees his shadow shouldn't we assume that spring is coming soon? I mean, isn't sun part of spring? Doesn't the sun cause a shadow? I hate that Groundhog! He doesn't even have any courage, he is scared of his own shaddow and HE didn't bit the mayor...no that was the Staten Island groundohog...'cause that's how NY do! However, if you think about it there is some sense to the groundhog seeing his shadow this month...it's the curse of Friday the 13th, everyday in the month is cursed. 6 more weeks of winter? Who really likes winter? I'm going to google "groundhog murder" now...
