I’m generally not a superstitious person but I have this one superstition when I’m listening to my iPod. I always have my songs on random, and if two songs ever play in a row that were meant to be played in a row (i.e. in order on an album or if the second song develops the motifs from the first) then I think I’ll have a good day.
I think it started when I used to play ladder matches in WC3 with Jacky. She always listened to music when she was playing, so she had her 8000 songs queued up. If Sigur Rós ever came up, she would know that we’d win. I don’t think she was ever wrong.
…I knew jealousy would be the best ally I could call in for the furtherance of that end

I set jealousy traps. I don’t do it maliciously, and I don’t go out of my way to set them up. I just do it to gather information, to know where people stand. Does this make me a bad person? Perhaps, but I think that I’m as much at fault as the person who falls for such a thing. After all, jealousy to me is a superfluous emotion.
It’s AMAZING what some will do when they’re jealous.
