Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 07, 2007, 12:11:22 AM
Well, it's officially 07/07/07 here! Some people say it will be a lucky day, while others think it's just going to be another normal Saturday. In any case, it won't happen again for another 100 years! What do you think, will it be a particularly lucky day, or just another normal day? Personally, I'm going to wait untill the end of the day to decide whether or not it was lucky.

Yeah, they said it was the "day of the devil", but the devil never came, nothing bad happened. Actually, it was a good day for me, it was my first day of summer vacation...maybe that means I'm the devil. jk.  :D

No, it wasn't even 6/6/6 it was 6/6/06 and then it wasn't even that it was 6/6/2006. And when it was 6/6/6 it wasn't even called six!

I heard lots of people were getting married today since they consider it lucky  :-X Las vegas is probably packed lol.

So Shikamaru and Dr. Rabies play Runescape? What's your usernames?

Well today may be lucky because my friend got to go to Anime Expo in Long Beach a few days ago (I couldn't go because of summerschool, grr!!!) and she brought lots of stuff back. I'm going over to her place today and she said I could pick what I want- Maybe I'll get lucky and there willl be an Ed or Roy plushie  :)

Not that much, because of the heat wave.


Thank you global warming. :( And the pool just happens to be closed today. Not such a lucky start to the day.

My cousin is turning 13 today, so I guess it cancells out.

My day hasn't been too good.

I'm ill. I went on my D of E expedition three days ago.
Altogether I did 24 km of walking with a bag weighing a quarter of my own body weight, thouh it ended up weighing more at about 20kg over two days.

I never want to see spaghetti and sausages in a tin again. ugh...

It's around 15 miles I think.

It hurt so much!
We were chased by two horses and a donkey.
And had to cling to rusty barbed wire fences, and lean backwards to shimmy along the edge of knee deep mud. My hands were all bloody by the end of that and my friend was squealing about tetanus. Someone fell in the mud and we all had to pull them out.
Yeah it sucked.

Why? And how can you get chased by a donkey?

That has to be the worst day ever.

Well, besides August 6th and 9th, 1945, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively.

We had to take a footpath through a field and a donkey was in it. We started walking and it was making these noises, then over the hill came two horses who started galloping straight towards us, as did the donkey. We ran back through the gate and slammed it just in time.
The horses were trying to push their way through the fence we went through and putting their heads over trying to reach us. I don't know what they wanted.

Brains?

Still I don't understand why you were going through a farm with a donkey and some horses.
Title: Re:07/07/07
Post by: alical on July 07, 2007, 02:08:15 PM
Because that's where the footpath was!
We also got followed by cows, and my friend electrocuted herself on an electric fence.

For me so far, 7/7/07 hasn't been any lucker than any other Saturday. Sigh.

It's seven oh seven PM here!

Yeah, nothing happened.

I didn't even realize it until three minutes ago. It rained a lot, though...?

Rain is the epitome of luckiness.

If we could get any rain here, I'm sure that would be considered lucky.

There was a storm today, and the power got knocked out for a few hours.  I woke up at 3 pm and took a nap at about five PM. So it's pretty 'meh, usual summer saturday'.

I haven;t been lucky one bit this week. On my birthday (July 5th), I bend down to give my dog some more food in his bowl, and my hair got stuck in flypaper. Yesterday I stubbed my pinky toe, and I think it's cracked because it's not getting any better, and just this morning I was eating a Moo Tube and I squeazed it too hard and it got all over me.  :D

To clarify, there will never be another 7/7/07. Sure, and go up to 7/7/08, or even 7/7/77. But 7/7/07 is gone. The hype is basically so that when we're old and gray, we can make up some story about 7/7/07 to put those pesky kids to bed. :P

Actually, there only ever WAS one 6/6/6 and one 7/7/7... And back then, it probably wasn't even called six or seven.
Title: Re:07/07/07
Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 12, 2007, 04:07:04 PM
I don't think people associated those particular dates with evil or good luck way back then, either.
