Hold on. You have to slow down. You're losing it. You have to take a breath. Listen to yourself. You're connecting a computer bug I had with a computer bug you might have had and some religious hogwash. You want to find the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from a mere street corner to your front door. 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere. -Sol, Pi

I love this quote. It speaks volumes. When you set your mind to something, you begin to see it everywhere you look.
I'll give you an example. My love and I are waaaaay too similar to be natural.
We have the same tastes, we have the same ambitions. Oh yeah.. we also have the same lense perscriptions. I have a fantasy of making out with an elf... well, she has been called an elf before by friends. I've brought up the movies Labyrinth and Requiem For A Dream to her on unrelated subjects, both of which Jennifer Connely is cast in, who she holds a striking resemblance to at many angles. The above quote is from the movie Pi, which we watched one night together before we were a couple. Pi is from the same director of Requiem For A Dream. See where I'm getting at? I think we are similar, so I keep looking for more similarities and coincidences, even the loose ones. It goes on and on.
The mind can convince itself of anything.
