Strange patterns.

Myself
Administrator
Have you ever noticed a series of strange coincidences in life? I sure have.

At the moment, multiple females in my friendship group without knowledge of each other all seem to not only lose weight, but in the way desired by society, permanently and without change to lifestyle. Shadowulf1 and I have spoken of this over Facebook and agreed to post it here, with the suspicion it may be wish granting of some sort.

I tell you this on the off chance that, in two weeks when I meet TheManiak, the wish for New Beginning comes true. Unlikely as it is, ensure you are not caught off guard by such an occurrence.  
Bow before your unimaginably powerful overlord!

Wait a minute, I'm currently too busy holding a cork in mid air for petty groveling.

 This wasn't where I intended to start the convo, but carry on.

 A very obscure user here. Rarely interacts with anything, but she is in fact a reality bender, by List standards. She acquired Power of Imagination.

It would be prudent of her to be on our side in the event of New Beginning.

I don't get it...what's her significance to this?

None.

Humans are really good at finding patterns. Our brains are built for it, you know?

Nothing quite as good for surviving as catching sight of a predator before it pounces.

Myself wanted to talk about some observations he was making, and so we did. Apparently, he is concerned that he may be manifesting a superhuman ability. I tried to lend an opinion to his search for answers.

I found the discussion fascinating, if for nothing more than psychological endeavor.

It's why I wanted to talk about this via Facebook chat. This conversation likely won't be long.

Wulf was the one who suggested I post it somewhere. I missed the opportunity to ask where.

 Myself wanted to discuss some observations he made, leading him to postulate the possibility that he's developing superhuman abilities. He wanted your opinions on it, and to know if any of us had similar experiences that we cared to share.

That's why I wanted to post the convo on Facebook. Aside from establishing a means by which to get more real-time feedback between us, it would also prevent us from wasting thread-space on an issue that could be resolved so quickly.

And if we really want this convo to carry on long, then we can add these posts onto the Supernatural Rant/Props thread, and discuss there. The topic at hand is not distinct enough to warrant a whole new thread.

Sorry for not making that clear before, Myself.

Not recently.

Unless you count the intense Deja Vu I had a few weeks ago.

That's a life long pattern, so not recent.

I think that would count.

Just how powerful are the sensations, and how often?

Once every month or so.

The strength varies, but it's usually bothersome.

About Deja-Vu experiences.

I had one some time ago that was quite intriguing to me.

So I go to this movie.
And the movie had at one point a situation that was very specific.

And I realised :
1) I KNOW that I've seen that specific situation before...
2) I'm certain that I haven't seen any previews of this movie...
3) There is NO way that I would be able to imagine or dream that specific situation...

I just didn't understand and the feeling bugged me for some time.

So eventually I looked up information about the movie.

And there it was...

There exists an old TV serie of the story used in  the movie.

And I must have watched some episodes of that serie when I was a child.  

I felt relieved that I was just my longterm memory playing tricks on me :)

Would it have bothered you if it was something else?

 No, I just figured it would be a short convo.
