Is it a sign?
Today, I was driving to meet a friend for lunch and that Alicia Keys song "No One" came on the radio. (Sidenote: I really had no idea what the song was called and was going to call it No One because she says that 17852 times in the song but I just Googled it and apparently that's actually what it's called. How straightforward of her.) was playing on the radio, only I'm sort of sick of it because I hear it all the time, so I changed the station without looking to preset 2. Only it was still playing. So I changed the station again to preset 3. And it was playing again. At which point I thought maybe some higher force had taken over my car and was making me either A only listen to that station or B only listen to that song. So then I madly (okay I didn't do it "madly" because there's no reason to go crazy when you're driving and besides it's not like it was Satan talking to me, it was just a song but it sounds dramatic to say "madly" doesn't it?) hit preset 4, 5 and 6 and different songs were playing on each of those presets. So then I realized that the higher force wasn't possessing my radio, but maybe Alicia Keys has a really good publicist. Or just a really good song, but still I thought there might be a hidden message in the song so I flipped back to preset 1 to listen to the words, and when the song ended I listened to the rest of the song on preset 2 and then preset 3 (or in some such order) but I couldn't figure out what the revelation was, except that if your song is really popular and gets played on several stations simultaneously your fans have the ability to listen to it for 9 minutes without break. I'm not sure it's really a revelation, which ended up being a good thing because how many revelations can you have in one day? Maybe just one, which is what happened next.

I never knew that Transylvania was a real place until I was getting interviewed for a job and the guy, who would've been my boss told me he was from Transylvania and I laughed. I was telling my best friend afterward and she told me it's in Romania. The guy must've thought I was an idiot. I didn't get the job, but I've never forgotten where Transylvania is.
I used to think that grilled cheese sandwiches were called girl cheese sandwiches because my mom made them for me. The revelation came with mixed feelings because I was at once happy to have finally figured it out, but sad that grilled cheeses were no longer just for girls...
Also, my cellphone never rings either so when it actually does, my initial reaction is often one of terror - Egads! Is that my phone? I'm still trying to figure out why I have one. This movie is not going to help.
