I go through this bullshit almost every year in the lead up to Election Day. I'm becoming more and more worried about "jinxing" the election, but I worry about it in doing the weirdest stuff.
For example, the other day when I was getting ready to go out the door, I keept putting my socks on and then taking them off, for fear that things would go bad on Election Day if a "jixed it." I've made trivial decisions on this based on what food I have eaten and what time of day I have done certain actitivites.
I know that this habitual and involuntary routine of mine means shit (I went through this last year and worried that we would lose in the big elections of 2005, when we won) but I still get worried and do superstitious things. Is anyone else feeling tense right now too? I need to stop this shit, but I'm having trouble quitting.
