Welcome Spencer. About that curse, has your car ever hit a dragonfly? A little known fact: Dragonflys are leprechauns' favorite steeds. To atone, offer up a glass of Irish whiskey to the Sidhe. They'll accept it through your stomach, but remember to hum an offertory ditty before you pour it out.
SOLID ADVICE.
I also recommend a pinch of salt thrown over your left shoulder. I did that the other day and won a free ticket on my lottery scratcher. Woohoo.
