Fix Me
I believe that there are things in this world that are just fundamentally creepy. I'm not talking about ghosts or possessions or even creepy children. (You know who you are!). I'm just talking about weird coincidences or De ja vu. Things that really can't be explained and things that make us move along quickly as if we are scared to examine this phenomenon too closely. For instance (Oh, you knew this was coming):
The sun blinds us as we leave the pet store. We saw a pretty cool exotic parrot right by the door and had stopped to play with him for a while. He was very interested in us but I was a little creeped out. My friend and I were theorizing over why exotic birds are so expensive and how they are shipped to this country. I remember laughing about the bird that didn't like her. I was smiling and gazing out of the window as we cruised around the parking lot trying to kill time. Checking out another pet store seemed like a grand idea. For some reason a morbid thought popped into my head just then. "Hey, you know what I think should be played at my funeral? What's that song? For every season.....turn, turn, turn, or something like that. Do you know that song?" My friend replies, "Yeah sure!" and she starts to sing it. "Yeah! I think it's fitting," I say. We get out of the car and start walking into the store. Once inside we start wrinkling our noses at the crazy fish and I suggest we find some snakes or something. As we're walking down the aisle can you guess what song starts playing over the loud speaker? The very song we were just talking about! A little freak out is had but after a while, it's no big deal. Mere coincidence.
This memory I have lasts less than a minute or two as I smile at the absurdness of it all. I laugh at myself as I pull into the driveway. I put the car in park and I'm about to turn the key when that song comes on my radio in the car. I KID YOU NOT!! I'm stunned for a second and stare at my dials dumbly before quickly turning the key and hopping out of the car. Mere coincidence?

You know, if you are a believer at all in any kind of psychic phenomenon then it could very well be that you tapped into someone's thoughts about what song they would be playing next on the radio and...BAM! There's your connection. All the same, it's sure a creepy kind of coincidence, like you say. I don't think that you need to worry about this at all, of course but you have to admit it's also a little funny isn't it? *snickers*
