I am NOT superstitious and I am generally governed by logic but New Years is where I get a bit weird.
I am a firm believer that however you ring in your New Year plays a part in how your year will be or at least how it will start off.
I'm not saying it's "fate" or anything stupid like that. I think our brains set into a certain mode and go and, regardless of what anybody else says, I am maintaining that I believe this world is functioning on a collective consciousness to a certain extent.
This was the first time in six years I didn't get a New Years Eve kiss. I'm not talking about needing a romantic, significant other type of kiss...but I usually at least run around a party and collect kisses on the cheek if nothing else.
This year: nothing.
And I honestly believe that this is a deficit which is already beginning to manifest itself.
In the first three days of the year I have already quit one job (CVS), only to find out that the Easthampton location is cutting hours because other stuff in the Eastworks Building will be closed for a while...so pretty much no hours except for *possibly* in the warehouse. I have obtained a car only to find out that this piece of shit is going to cost me more than $1,500 when all is said and done (which miffs me a little bit because I could have bought a nicer car for that as in one I'm a bit more sure won't break down!). I have a scholarship, but it looks like I may end up being a highschool dropout (okay, so that one is carrying over from last year, but who's keeping track?).
I dunno. I think it has something to do with the fact that I started my year off in a mediocre way.
I will totally denounce this claim tomorrow or the day after, I'm sure...but for now that's my logic. Boo.
