For weddings, people have that saying "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." It's supposed to be good luck to have these items on you when you walk down the aisle. Though every single bride i know (and I worked at a bridal shop for a year and a half so i know a lot...) follows these rules and still half of the marriages end. It doesn't seem to debunk the myth, though. People enjoy following these types of rituals. there's a strange safety to it.
And as I have just finished the largest birthday extravaganza of my life (well, that's not really true...there's one last party tonight), I was wondering why there isn't a list of bday rules. I mean, everyone agrees that you should eat cake and not care. That's kind of a given. But other than that, nothing. I certainly have a checklist each year. This year I checked everything off...
acquire (by ill means) a man's shirt: check
drink shots in a number that matches your age: check
tell everyone on the street that you pass that it is your birthday: check
make out with a stranger: double check
demand that people do things for you they don't want to: triple check
but it's not the same as having a rhyming saying. Hmmm. Let's see: yeah nope my brain isn't working well enough. Still very hungover i spose...
