Do you ever think about the connectedness of things? I do. All the time. Like, if I drive by a fender-bender, I find myself wondering, "If I had left home one minute earlier or one minute later, would this event still have happened?" Or, "If I'd never met X, would X have ever met Y, who went on to meet and terrorize Z?"
Does everything come down to synchronicity? Serendipity? Chance?
Many of the good things that have happened in my life have occurred pretty much solely because I was in the right place at the right time. The same principle can be applied to the bad events, I think -- wrong place, wrong time. It's a wonder I haven't driven myself insane with some of my thoughts. Then again, can anyone prove I haven't?

Condescending, snarky, and not very professional at all, huh? And yet this is standard operating procedure for this outfit.
Miss Begotten is one of my pet names for myself, for Southern Gothic reasons best kept to myself. Miss Begotten tries to speak plainly, but sometimes she tends to babble -- parenthetically, of course. It's never my intention to offend (and usually that's true - except on those [maybe not so] rare occasions when I mean it very friggin' much) but it sometimes happens, so if you're unusually easily offended...
