Okay, so what's with the number "11"?

Apr 08, 2008 03:26PM - 9 comments

First of all, I don't have a superstitious  bone in my body. None. Zip. Zilch. Nor am I prone to apophenia. But lately, it seems like I'm seeing the number "11" everywhere.  Whenever I look up at a clock, is seems to say 11:11, or 8:11, or 6:11, or some variaton that contains "11".  I woke up at night to use the bathroom at 3:11. When I went the the grocery store the other day, it rang up $111.00.  When I went to microwave my coffee minutes before writing this, someone left it with - you guessed it - 11 seconds. I think I'm turning into Jim Carrey! Well, at least it's not "23" :-)

Anyhoos, I know this is all just coincidence. Still, it's a bit freaky.

HI there.  That's actually a good thing to see all the '1's.  Here's a great site that talks about it:

Maybe you have luck coming to you.  I looked this up one day because I was doing the same thing.  Take care.

I think "11" is cosmically lucky! I like seeing "11's" everywhere...my favorite number.

I always make a wish when i see 11:11 on the clock or something like that, it just means things are giong to be going your way for awhile :)

I try not to be superstitious but in my culture it's ALL about numbers!  It drives me crazy!  For instance...

the number 4 = death
the number 8 = prosperity and luck
the number 9 = long life
the numbers 168 = the road to riches
if the 5 precedes the 4 in a house address then the death in 4 is canceled out!
the number 14 = the worst, death and bad luck

I can't stand it.  I'm not superstitious but I hear it talked about so much in my family that I start believing in it! (LOL)

P.S. I haven't heard anything about the number 11, sorry...

Update from today. I walked into the kitchen and the clock reads 7:11. I logged into my Google Reader account as see that I have 111 unviewed blogs.

Funny stuff :)

Haha! You're lucky.
I see 23 a lot. xD Once, I woke up at a certain time, (I forgot what time) did some equation and the sum was 23. XD
I was just sitting there going, "..Wonderful. D: The sun isn't even up, and the number 23 is already messing with me."
I saw the movie a few weeks ago. It was awesome.

OMG---I once told my husband that I thought the number 11 was stalking me, and that just further made him believe that I'm crazy!  Yes, I see 11's everywhere too...especially 11:11 on the clock.  I really dont like it when I see 9:11--that always makes me think something bad (hmm...wonder why HAHA)  

Anyway, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only #11 "stalkee"

The fun continues. I just looked up at my system time, 5:11

My Google reader had 111 unread items (not the first time this has happened)

My online portfolio hit 1111 image views today


This is a riot :)
