1/11, 11:11

Just wanted to remind everyone: if there’s something you’ve been wishing for these days, then tonight—January 11^th, at 11:11 pm—may be the night for you.

In celebration, here's a list of eleven FunFacts&Opinions:

1) Which is the more appropriate wish time: 11:11 am or 11:11 pm? Though I understand the whole military time argument, I embrace the romantic notion that the best wishes can only come true at night.

2) If you’re wishing for something really important and can hold out, I suggest waiting until November 11^th.

3) If you’re wishing for something super huge, it’s only five years and 10 months until November 11^th, 2011. The best wishing day of our lifetime.

4) Unfortunately, the ultimate wishing day—November 11^th, 1111—has already passed. I like to think that either a) everyone’s wishes came true in one form or another, or b) only one wish came true, and it probably had something to do with someone not liking this guy.

5) If you’re like me and wish all the time about stupid shit, here's a daily partial-wish schedule for you to use:

12:01 – If granted, ¼ of wish comes true.
12:11 – If granted, ½ of wish comes true.
1:11 – If granted, ¾ of wish comes true.
11:11 – If granted, your entire wish comes true and you die.

6) Apparently, you can wish on absolutely anything.

7) Also apparently, you can make a wish after locking pinkies with someone who just said the same thing as you at the same time. It's like a positive anti-jinx. How awesome is that?

8) Speaking of positivity: When you do have an opportunity to make a wish, make it a good wish for someone else. Some people might call this “gay,” but I call those people “lonely” and “sad.”

9) Something creepy I don’t mind not understanding.

10) Something creepy I wish I didn’t understand.

11) In theaters, this November 11^th (probably).
