1. Nope
2. Nope, and I think once people get into that frame of mind, they start associating everything that happens with their 'luck', when in actual fact 'luck' has nothing to do with it...
3. Yep, and no bad luck resulted...
4. Nope
5. When I was born into my particular family (though I don't believe it was luck...)

5. Well, I decided to change classes this semester in school, and in my new class, I met this kid who was the bass player for a band that just broke up, like a week before I switched classes. There was also another really good guitarist in the class that knew the guitarist of the bassist's band. Well, since their band broke up and I was looking for another guitarist for Iumentus, I decided it would be perfect timing to give the bassist a demo for his guitar player to listen to. He decided that he didn't care about the band anymore, and he gave the demo to the guitarist. He liked it, and after a long wait in anticipation, 3 weeks later he finally joined my group. Whoo!

1. Not in the slightest bit.
2. The way I see it, I get exactly what I deserve to get when I deserve to get it. No luck, just karma.
3. Yeah, when I was a wee lad, it's kind of ironic really. I was trying to open the medicine cabinet to get a band-aid out cause I had a cut, and I was pulling on the wrong side of the mirror to open it and ended up ripping the thing right off the wall (Plus I was standing on the sink, that didn't help) and it shattered all over me and cut me everywhere when I fell to the concrete floor.
4. See answers 1 and 2.
5. I once beat the hangover cure mission in Tony Hawk's Underground on Insane difficulty. Probably the toughest thing I had ever done.
