Superstitious

I used to be a germ freak. I guess I still am, just slightly better than the time when it was at full blast. Two years after I had my tissue bank job and having separate sets of clothes, separate laundry baskets, separate shoes (and if I could separate wallet, keys, and driver license), I realize that my fear of germ (viruses) is pathologic (how ironic) and is severely cutting into my quality of life. I think people who are extremely superstitious has got to be on the same boat. Like my ex-boyfriend. To date I still find it hard to believe that someone in my generation can be so superstitious -- the bed cannot face the door; the bed cannot face a mirror; when sitting at a desk your back cannot be towards the door. Well, too bad American housing designs must not have taken too much of Chinese superstitious (except maybe in certain neighborhoods) into consideration. Most closet doors double as full length mirror, I never did figure out how you can place a bed so you won't wake up in the middle of the night and see the mirror. (Thanks to this said boyfriend, I am still afraid of mirrors at night :(. Holy crap, how DO you position a bed and a desk into a 12' x 12' square room with those criteria? And those are just a few that I can recall!! Man, people who are truly superstitious to that point must lead a rough life.
