Prompt 13 - Are you superstitious?
You mean step on a crack, break your mother's back type of superstitious? Then no. I walk under ladders and don't really care if a cat crosses my path. If you mean do I have rituals before I do something like athletes do before a game, then yes.
When I was on tour, I used to always sit underneath the makeup table and hum songs from Les Mis. Don't ask me why, I have no idea, I only know it works. The first concert I did in front of hundreds of people, it was the only thing that calmed me down. I figured if it's not broke, don't fix it. So, when I got nervous before other concerts, that's where you'd find me, under the makeup table.
After a while I didn't need them any more, because the butterflies in the stomach had disappeared. Okay, maybe not disappeared, but they calmed own a lot. Performing in front of hundreds became as easy as breathing, so I didn't need it any more.
Am I superstitious? No. Do I have a pre-game ritual? Yes. It's better than hitting your teammate on the ass. Especially when my teammate was Chris Keller.
