Well I Never!

Professor David Spiegelhalter of Cambridge University wants to know about your coincidences!

how i met my wife

in my university days i spent a lot of time in the computer lab chatting on this local-network only server. one fellow took a liking to me, and we met in person and started hanging out outside of the university setting. one day he left for a student conference, came back and told me he had met someone he thinks i should hook up with so gave me this girl's email address. anyway so i emailed her.

quantum entanglement

started around may of last year, i started seeing synchronicities everywhere but this one was uncanny. i was for whatever reason in a rabbit hole looking up terms about quantum physics that i didn't really understand. i had this video about quantum physics and entanglement that was playing in a web browser and i would kind of go in and out of focus and had it playing in the background for like 2-30 minutes already.

Moving

Long story short I found my grandma bible in my mom house after my mom passed a way the house was in our family for year need work so we sold it and moved well in her bible was the church she went to when she was younger just so happend that church was in walking distance of my new house???

Doing good in the world and winning the lottery

Anyone else ever experience lots of mind-blowing synchronicity for an extended period of time? Twice in my life it has happened for at least three straight months. It always happens when I'm feeling amazing and being true to myself. When abandon all the rules and just do whatever I feel is just, right and loving. And usually it happens while I'm falling in love with a girl. But it's almost like I am led to the girl through the coincidences. It's very strange and it's such an interesting thing to talk about.

Patterns with girlfriends

So there's a girl interested in me and I'm trying to figure out whether she's good for me or not. The other night, I couldn't sleep so I looked at Instagram, which I never do (ever). And came across my ex's page (from 4 years ago). She didn't have many posts, but there was a picture of food from Core Life Eatery saying she loves the place. I have to been to the place many times before. Anyway, the next day I was going to get something to eat and was driving to get a hoagie when I saw I had a coupon for Core Life in my car for basically a free meal.

Kwame Kwei-Armah finds long abandoned keyboard

Evening Standard 19 June 2019 Page 19 Edited by Phoebe Luckhurst Young Vic artistic director Kwame Kwei-Armah is no stranger to bizarre coincidence. When he was 25 he abandoned his dream of being a musician and gave away his instruments, he told an audience at an event to publicise a revival of his play Fix Up at the Tower Theatre last night. "I had a keyboard, called an M1...One G flat key was bent." Twenty-five years later he was in The Gambia. "I walk into this village hall. And I see an M1. I see that the G flat is bent.

"My boat is so small"

After 13 years of sharing my life with him, including a long term illness, my husband passed away. His passing had caused a lot of turmoil and I found myself completely left alone, grieving. After the funeral, there was literally nobody in my direct environment (neighbours, family, old study friends) who showed unselfish compassion. Everybody seemed to have a hidden agenda, whishing me as a baby sitter (study friend), a health carer (family) investment banker (family/neighbours) or worse, potential wife. I struggled everyday to set boundaries, reinvent my life and find meaning.

Dream Scene

Last night I dreamt about a friend from university who I hadn't spoken to in a while. When I woke up this morning, I had a long text from none other than the same friend.

GN

Where to start? I've logged nine pages of 'synchronicities' so far and counting. Many seem to have a playful bent, such as passing driving the Stirling monument in Scotland as the Braveheart theme tune played on the radio.

"Star Wars" Coincidence

I share the same birthday (April 10th) as Daisy Ridley, the actress who plays “Rey” in the Star Wars films, and my mother's middle name is Raye.
