I've got one. About a year ago today I moved to Vermont and found myself at yet another new school. One day in a free block I accidentally make a wrong turn in the library and find myself in a secluded spot where a pair of guys were playing Magic the Gathering. It turned out they were good guys and we became friends and are still today.

Probably when I went to a creative writing class at the college and when the teacher asked everyone who they were and something about themselves I said "Well. I play DND." I realized three hot girls who were all into creative writing and poetry just heard me say that and I felt like a complete idiot. Then the guy next to me said pretty much the same thing. Now we play DND every weekend with him and his girlfriend. Woot.

Or maybe more down-side ish, when I hit one guy making a left exit turn. We were fortunate enough to find out he was on parole and he didn't feel like going to jail. Yay me.

Aha! I knew that I had some! (And I'm kicking myself for not thinking of two of them)

Firstly, I recently bought a new hard drive. Nothing fancy, a standard 40Gb drive, but it comes to something when you're upgrading from two 4-Gigs. I had determined to buy one some while ago, and had discovered that my university was the best place to buy from in terms of price. On the other hand, I'm very lazy, so I put it off for quite a while. I finally got around to getting it the other day, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the price had gone down in the meanwhile! It's not much, but at this point I can use the savings.

On these forums (fora?) there was the occasion of my going off at a tangent in the Cheeto for sale and Battlecry threads, which ended up with the creation of the (very fun, I think) Soul Hunters RP. I love that about human communication. We can go from threads about selling Cheetos on E-Bay and an online Battlecry generator and from there arrive at an over-the-top RP about Soul Hunters and their lairs, a gelatinous mound, a naive heroine, a man who can shapeshift into a cow, and a secret-agent-man who only speaks in palindromes, to mention only a few!

Of course, these are just two examples; there are many more, some of which were greater, and some of which were lesser, and for all of them I am truly thankfull.

I love serendipity! :)

Well I have what I call Urashima luck because it always reminds me off Keitaro Urashima in love Hina, good and bad at the same time
Anyaway Monday my computer's motherboard fried itself to death, this ticked me off but I had a warranty. Called to ask how to redeem my warranty they told me the computer was sold 4 months before it was actually sold to me and therefore my warranty had expired. I went to the store where I bought it talked to the manager, and since they wouldn't honor my warranty he took it back and gave me what I payed for it last November. What's good about that you may ask? They had an even better computer on sale for the same price that I got.

I was in a car accident that should have killed me seatbelt or no seatbelt. No one got hurt, and no one died, so it was a good accident.

When I first started driving after obtaining my license I kept getting more and more daring and driving faster and faster. Then by luck or fate my dad asked me to return a movie to the video store and I took a road I had never been on, which is a notorious speed trap. I got a ticket and that caused me to slow down greatly. Now I'm a little more mature and don't go speeding around as fast as I can.
