So today I went yard sale-ing with my dad, and about 10 yard sales in we ran into my Grandpa. Because of some family issues, I haven't seen him in about two years. What are the odds, especially taking into consideration that he lives an hour away?

Then, at the very next yard sale, we ran into one of my dad's co-workers. Turns out he lived right across the street. Aside from the astounding odds of that, he just had a baby, so for him to be out in the yard and to see us was an astronomical chance.

Then we were going to head home, but I decided we should go for lunch, so we did. We went to a pizza place right around the corner from our house... and a girl I graduated with (cute too) works there. We live about 40 minutes from my hometown. Turns out she moved out here. I don't know her very well but we did graduate together, and now that I know she lives over here I'll get to know her.

So, three people in one day that I know. I thought this was intercourse ing unbelievable, so I bought a lotto ticket.

Anyone have any weird encounters like this that prove it's a small world?

Not really...I did meet one of my Kindergarten classmates on the bus once, but that was years ago.

Went to New Mexico for 2 weeks, as you all know. On the way back we stopped in Colorado at a Golden Corral. Now, most of the people in our group are members of Mic-O-Say (Google it, too lazy to explain) so we were all wearing our claws. The person at the table next to us spoke up and asked "Excuse me, are you all from Kansas City?"
We all wat'd and said yes, and they were like "Oh, we're from Greenwood!"
Greenwood is literally 10 minutes from where I live.
The chances of us meeting someone from where we live...out in Colorado...is pretty astronomical.

Yo Rob, if you win the Lotto, you better pay for NSFCD-con. Including travel expenses, renting a place out, ect...

Oh Vesperia, never change... never change
