Synchronicity

A couple of weeks ago I noted 3 all too coincidental instances in one day. I observed 3 more just yesterday. I'm a magnet for the freaky I tell ya!

First day
1) Before I left the house that morning I was playing a Cure cd and the last song I heard was "Hot Hot Hot". I left the house on my way to brunch at the BitterRoot with friends, which isn't part of the oddity but is so worth mentioning, the eggs gravlox is stellar!, and I ran into 2 neighbors who were out getting food to make french toast with. The first words spoken to me by another human being were "Hot Hot Hot", by my friend Margot smiling and pointing at my sassy skirt.

2) I was riding a muni bus with Mr. Blogger and the girl sitting in the next seat over had Tiffany and Co. shopping bag. I commented that it's every girl's dream to get something in one of those little trademark blue bags. Immediately after I said it, another girl got on the bus and sat right next to the girl with the shopping bag. Mr. Blogger pointed out that she was reading Breakfast at Tiffany's!

3) Later Mr. Blogger and I were eating at 'Q', they aren't lying when they describe their cuisine as comfort food, and I was playing with the alphabet magnets that are on the wall. I put the first letter of both of our names on the wall behind us, staking our claim of the table. Shortly after a woman leaned over and asked if she could have one of the letters because her son needed it to spell his name. I gave her the letter of my dates name, and wouldn't you know it, a minute later Mr. Blogger points and says "Look what his name is", of course, they shared the same name.

Yesterday
1) I hopped into my friend's car who I carpool with everyday, and she asked what I did the night before. I told her that for the first time in several weeks, no exaggeration, I stayed home alone and watched a movie. "What movie"? she asked. "The Original Get Carter", I exclaimed. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "What, do you love it, what's that face"? I asked. Low and behold she too had just watched the original Get Carter last night, for the first time. Weird.

2) I left the office yesterday afternoon to catch the 5:11 Caltrain home. I said goodbye to 2 co-workers that were having a meeting in the conference room and walked a block to the station with about 7 minutes to spare. After I had been on the train for about 20 minutes I dozed off. I thought I heard someone say my name and I assumed I was dreaming. I heard it again and opened my eyes to see one of the girls that I had just left at the office sitting in the seat right in front of me. I was thoroughly confused. Apparently she decided to go ahead and go home early since she had gone in early, and just made the same train.

3) In my voice acting class there was a girl who has the same birth name as I do, Lisa. Another girl has the name that Lisa morphed into before the name I use now stuck, and that's Risa. Then there's me, you know what I'm called now. It was like all the stages of the evolution in one room.
