To a point that drives even themselves to the brink of insanity, I mean.

I ain't gonna get into specifics.

i have a gematria fetish. that sounds cool on paper, but it is not: i am always adding/multiplying/sequencing up numbers i encounter to see if they equal 6, 7, 13, or 616. the gas station is not so fun!

Most of my superstitions are object and location based. For example, my room door at night MUST be locked, otherwise I wouldn't sleep at all.

That's creepy.  Maybe you're subconsciously trying to remember a murder that you commited.

that's not abnormal. anyone who isn't a total freakin' duh has some odd quirks, fetishes, paranoias, and/or rituals.

As a skeptical Aquarius, I don't believe in that stuff.

I'm not superstitious, but I am a pretty paranoid person.

Despite being thoroughly rational, I have a strong interest in the occult and various supernatural things.  I don't believe it; it's just an interest.  Probably ties in to my interest in folk lore and such.  And horror movies.

not superstitious, but always very wary of having forgotten to do something important, and that this hypothetical omission would end up being very costly to me in a close future

I'm always seeing 666 turn up here and there but I think its due to the infamous history of it. Its still freaky when it happens though.

yeah, i love the occult and the paranormal. i was really obsessed with qaballism and gnostic scripture a couple years ago. i would love to do a ghost tour of the coast some time, once my brother gets some time off. i don't believe it, but i love to theorize and speculate and generally imagineer like a shrieky little goth taco about it.

I'm not superstitious but I do have ritualistic kinda things that I have to do. :-/ I always check to see if the doors are locked before I go to bed, at least twice. Before I leave the house or go to bed, I need to account for the whereabouts of both my cats. (This has made me late for school/work/etc at times, because my Melanie is a hiding champion.) I also need to account for their whereabouts when I wake up or come home.

I only wear my purse on my right shoulder, and I only hold the phone to my left ear. I start brushing my teeth on the left side of my mouth. Weird shit like that.
