While we're talking about eerie synchronicity, I keep forgetting to mention this really weird thing that happened while I was up north for the election. Actually it happened on the way home. I was driving down I-95, between Baltimore and DC, listening to talking heads discuss the election on NPR.
I was driving, and the talking heads were talking, and it was all good news, and what a great morning it was. Then my phone rang, which normally I would have ignored while on the road. But I thought it must be my parents, so I started fumbling in my bag to find it. Just then the host of the radio show said, "I hear a phone ringing." The other two people on the radio chuckled about it, I froze, and the phone kept ringing and ringing.
On one level I knew almost immediately what was going on -- someone on the radio show had the same ringtone I do -- but still it was soo creepy. Hearing the person on the radio talk about my phone ringing was like a weird dream. In fact I think I had a dream just like that once. Kind of a bad dream as I recall. And the ringing went on and on! I guess it took them a long time to find the phone.

This is one reason I love my ringtone. I've only ever encountered 1 other person who used it, and it was a different arrangement.
My ringtone is Tubular Bells.
Oh my! I love Tubular Bells -- which part is your ringtone...the actual "main theme" or the Exorcist-y bit? (Or the bit that sounds like demons talking...that scared me as a child)
