There are no thirteenth floors in hotels, and they skip the thirteenth row on airplanes sometimes, too.
Personally, I don’t like the number thirteen because I think it’s ugly, but I still wouldn’t want to be moved because of it.

13 is Taylor Swift’s lucky number as well.
Nice. I figured it had to be lucky for someone and decided it might as well be me 🙂

At all Westerners on this forum, if you were sat in the 13th row of an aeroplane/13th floor in a hotel whatever, would you ask to be moved to a different place because of the unluckiness associated with the number 13?See I wouldn’t be bothered because I don’t really believe in that whole lucky/unlucky shtick and I always find it amusing when I see things go from 12 to 14 to escape someone being put in 13.
Same here. I’m quite fond of 13 really, just because I think it’s a cool number and I was born on the 13th.

I feel as though the ethos I was practicing in that post was lost on poor little baby Annadog, and that saddens me. ):
@Little Piggy Dragonguy, don’t think that just because AD40/Starr Shine? made fun of your post, she missed the point all together. I make fun of serious things all the time, while still appreciating their meaning.
You’re the sort of very earnest person who is prime mockery material, because you take EVERYTHING so seriously. It’s all meant in gentle fun, I assure you — we all love ye, otherwise we wouldn’t tease.

No. The staircase leading to my basement has 13 steps and it doesn’t bother me at all. If I tried to skip a step to make it 12, I’d probably fall and break my back. The only bad experience I ever had on a Friday the 13th was not unlucky. It was a stupid mistake.
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Question for anyone
Do you like where you currently live and if you don’t where would you like to live?
Kind of. It’s a small village so there’s no smog and people outside. I live in my grandmother’s house because mum used to work in the village and our house was far away so it was all closer and more convenient. It got quite lonely here lately though since granny’s moved to heaven, dad works all day and the neighbours aren’t the friendly chatty kind. I’ve always wanted to live in Japan, Ireland or Scotland if I didn’t live here. I have my host family and some friends in Japan and it’s one of the times when I was truly happy about being there. Scotland and Ireland, I simply love the views and Celtic music as well and I’d be off buying a house in the woods or an old castle or something.

Ah you might have a problem with getting a house in a woods in Ireland, because my ancestors are idiots we practically cut down all of our native forestry i.e. there’s not much forest to be found (fun fact: Ireland used to be covered in 80% forest and this decreased to less than 1% thanks to human and environmental influence- worst case ever in Europe). At the minute we have approx 11% forest cover with our initial aim being 17%.
However we have been replanting for the past 30 years or so, so hopefully in about 200-300 years we’ll be back to our covered in forests killing Irish Elk ways, (seriously though look up the extinction of the Irish Elk, the most stupid extinction ever).
In saying that there are castles aplenty and if you have a couple of €100,000 in the bank you’d be able to get one in the more isolate parts of the country up north in Donegal or to the west of the country.
If you love views and Celtic music as I say to everyone on this forum, COME TO GALWAY. Sure go to Dublin for 3-4 days, but either go to Galway or preferably go along the southern coastline to Cork and Kerry and then come up to Galway. That’s where you’ll find your “traditional Hollywood Ireland” and there’s less heroin than Dublin (did I say that aloud oops, I mean, Dublin does not have a terrible junkie problem and yes putting methadone clinics in the middle of the city was a brilliant idea, well done government).
Seriously though, come visit Ireland, it’s a great little country and if I’m in Galway at the time I’ll definitely show you around and buy you a pint.

Yay! The AppleScruffJunior Ireland sales pitch! A Beatles Bible specialty.
I like the house I’m in, but the area isn’t great. However, as I’m reminded every time I go visit my family in Georgia (just outside Atlanta), it could be a lot worse.

I honestly think the tourist board should hire me- I’d do a decent enough job….I think. No one on the forum has visited Ireland on my recommendations yet though >.>
One of my brother’s friends is from Atlanta, she moved to Ireland though obviously, I’m not sure if she liked it there or not.
Anyways I like my small town namely because all of my great friends are here and of course my family.
I live in Galway 4/7 days of the week normally and while I do enjoy it, I still look forward to going home again.

^Well, I surely would if I could get over there, but I’m extremely short on funds. My advice would be to work on @Ahhh Girl, our resident globe-trotter.

^^I live in a pretty large city; though I’ve never really liked the name of it. Whilst it’s nice to be able to not have to go far for things, I’m considering moving to the countryside of another country at some point, or at least another country in general.

My older sister keeps trying to get me to move to Chicago once I have a job and can afford to. I don’t like the idea.
I hate people. Why would I want to live in a place that has three million of them?

Because it might have jobs in the field you aspire to go into.
Maybe then, you and LP Dragon can be roommates.

When I get my own house, I want my grandma to live with me, and I don’t think she would be okay with living with somebody I met off the internet.
