…or, at least, what I think synchronicity means. (I think of it as kind of a real life case of a hard to explain coincidence that is, in the end, nothing more than a coincidence; feel free to correct my ignorance if I am wrong. Maybe the real meaning connotes a sense of things being tied together in ways we can’t fathom. I forget, and I can’t be arsed to look it up now.)
In any case, give me your true stories of synchronicity/coincidence. No fair making stuff up!
Here is my Strange But True Story of Synchronicity:
(And to convince you it is true, my story is based on the pathetic admission that I was looking at old SDMB posts of mine…no way I would cop to that just to make up a story about a fake coincidence)
Just prior to starting this thread, I came across this old post of mine:
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14919937&postcount=52
The content of the post is just a date, which I posted over a year ago, and which happens to be tomorrow’s date!
I did not say to myself “Hrrr, hrrr, hrr, I gotta be sure to remember to link to this post one day ahead of that date to make it look like a weird coincidence!” I also do not make a habit of looking at old posts of mine. (No! Really! I don’t! I’m normal, just like everyone else! I have a life! At least, I must have, mustn’t I?) Therefore, it would seem to be a not very likely event. And yet it happened.
Oh, and if anyone can figure out why I selected that particular date without any hints, give yourself a pat on the back. It took me a while to figure it out myself, just now, even though I posted it in the first place.
