Is anyone else here CURSED?
I have been visited with 2 absolutely uncanny curses that are unique and aggravating. This always leads to my apparent overreaction in the eyes of the non-cursed.

One- just about everywhere I go, if I happen to glance up in, say, a parking lot or driving next to the sidewalk, I bear witness to a man SPITTING. It simply doesn't matter where I am, I glance up/over and the next thing I know, a man who doesn't care if he's being observed spits. And it's always visible, you know, the "product".

Two- I can park in the nosebleed section of a store parking lot with no car around for miles. I've noticed some prefer to park as close to the store as they can. Why is it then, that EVERY SINGLE TIME that I emerge from the store, my car is flanked by two super-huge SUVs, making my vision impossible?

If someone knows a good spell I can use to dilute the effects of these curses, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks in advance.:patriot:

1. I was convinced for a while that I was cursed to miss concerts...
And even now, I think I'm cursed to miss concerts that the band Wintersleep aren't somehow involved with.

4. Let me guess: Drama Queen friend?
My good man, if that's the case, you and I probably blame ourselves. I've missed shows only because of my drama queen friends. And the victims always blame themselves.

10. A combination of bad luck (last minute cancellations and whatnot)...
And ignorant assholes putting their own concerns before anything else (specifically friends who decide that getting drunk trumps picking me up). I definitely don't blame myself, I blame the ignorant jackasses around me.

6. Wow, that's amazing,
because I've been told I was related to Gengis Khan. Guilt by related association? I can't do ANYTHING about that. Oh, dear! :cry:

I don't believe it, though.

7. Oh yeah, the curse of the "spitting vision blockers".
That is a very old curse used by the ancient Ju Ju consoriums of the old "Pain in the ass" tribes of the 1980s.

What you need to do (and listen very very carefully) put two acorns between your knees and dance to the Village People's "YMCA". After the song is over you have to take a half of a tablespoon of salt, pour it back into the canister you got it from, say the magical words "spitty spitty... don't drive SUV's" and then hop on your left leg for 13 minutes, 21 seconds and a half a moment. If you go over or under the half a moment, start again.

You'll be fine. :thumbsup:

16. Will an aberration in the ritual cause unbound chaos?
I'm not worried...but then I am. Say my right leg's stronger than my left leg...I hop on it for 23 seconds. I get motorcycles, Florida gets more hurricanes?

I'm sorry, honey. That was VERY helpful, and I doubted.:cry: :hug: :loveya:

19. OK~ Read aloud from "Sassafrass, Cypress & Indigo"
by Ntozake Shange. Any passage will do just fine. Sprinkle wildflowers into your bathwater, plus some vanilla.

Wink at yourself in the mirror just once.

Try on an article of clothing left behind by one of those people who broke your heart, think about them hard, take off the clothing and throw it away.

:hug:

23. I've already moved on
But it's kinda depressing that I can't hold a relationship for a long time.

15. You KNOW I am cursed too.
My entire life sucks, except my precious little time on DU and that's no exaggeration either. And now, I am failing math tests even though I have been studying. I'm tired of tests. I'm tired of college. Please tell me it's still worth it.

20. A POX ON MATH.
Math, parking spaces, men who spit publicly.

Hit them all 3 times with our pain, sobered to the bone with empathy and introspection, then send the sorry lot on its way!!

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

PS- GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

21. For #2-- write a note to the SUVs
"HEY ASSHOLE-- THANK YOU FOR PARKING ME IN. I REALLY ENJOY SMASHING OUT MY BACK WINDOW TO GET INTO MY CAR"

Be sure you write it directly on the SUVs, with your key. That way they will get the point.
