Psychic Synchronicities

I don't use my blog for this kind of chat, but I believe in all sorts of things, including several facets of what most would categorize as psychic phenomena. What I'm about to discuss is commonly referred to as synchronicity, but these are a type of synchronous occurrence that I can't suss the relevance of. Yet they're too bizarre to be mere coincidences -- and they've all happened within the same time frame: I experience a specific thought and within 30 minutes I see or hear the main element of that thought somewhere else. I'll give you a few examples (and I may keep adding to the list):

1. A week ago I was watching an episode of The Wire. Carver and Hulc were talking about which man they'd be willing to have sex with into order to get to have sex with their ideal woman. I paused the conversation to go get something from my kitchen. From nowhere the name Weezie came into my head, as did the theme song to The Jeffersons. When I got back to watching the show, a few scenes later they were back on that talk and Carver said, "Man that wouldn't even get you Weezie Jefferson!"

2. I was cleaning my kitchen a week or two ago and for some odd reason I thought about that guy who was selling his teakettle on eBay and forgot to put clothes on before taking the picture. I haven't heard of, or thought about, that guy for eons. When I was done cleaning I took at look at twitter and someone had posted a link in their tweet. I never click on links unless I know where they are going, but this time I clicked. It was that exact eBay photo of that guy.

3. Someone else on twitter recently tweeted about having just seen the Ghostbusters film for the first time. When I went to bed, the novel I've been reading actually made a reference to the film. And then the next day I saw another comment on another blog (which I'd never read before and can't remember how I found it) talked about the film too.

4. On my way home from shopping tonight I started thinking about the people who were so early signing up for Gmail that they managed to get their own names. For example, Bob@gmail.com. I was going to tweet about that and I was going to use the names Bitch@gmail.com and Wanker@gmail.com. But when I looked at twitter, I was stunned to see that someone had just tweeted about Bitch and Wanker teacups.

5. I wanted to buy an audio download from Amazon.com and when I tried to purchase it redirected me to Audible.com, which I'd never heard of and didn't want to sign up for (and didn't). The next day, Audible.com started following me on Twitter.

I've got more of these. And I've got other strange things I experience on a regular basis, but those make more sense. Normally synchronicities are useful in some way. Like, say, you don't normally eat Chinese but feel compelled to visit Wok n Go at precisely the time the man of your dreams is also arriving. Those things serve a purpose. Mine appear to just be strange.

What about you? What synchronicities (odd or otherwise) have you experienced?
