Besides the Olympics starting in China on 8.8.08 at 8pm
Its going to be a field day for Chinese because we believe that 8 brings you prosperity and good fortune.

I know a bunch of girls that got married on 7/7/07.

One even told me a week before the wedding that if we had a chance she would call hers off. I said "Nah."

8/7/2008 12:32:33 PM

So your mom and family are delusional?

8/7/2008 12:33:58 PM

i hope you're right because my horoscope sucks for tomorrow...

8/7/2008 12:34:21 PM

^^ more like everyone who is Chinese. but i wouldn't expect a white boy like you to get it.

8 for chinese is like the lucky number 7 for others.

My bf and I were talking about the olympics' start date, and what a cool day 8/8/08 is to begin with, and I told him I want to get married on a cool date.

The example I gave was "So if we get married in 2010, I want it to be August 9th"

"why was 6 afraid of 7? because 7 *ate* 9!"

8/7/2008 1:45:20 PM

I haven't been to a party in ages! haha crazy 8s sounds interesting.

8/7/2008 1:56:43 PM

so what you're saying is that I should propose marriage to a Chinese girl within the next 24 hours.

8/7/2008 2:14:39 PM

7 is a divine number, in the Judeo-Christian milieu

Eight was my lucky number for a while. Perhaps something amazing will happen to me tomorrow? Maybe I should play Carolina Cash 5. Lolz.
