Apophenia, Synchronicity or Succubus?


I have talked about apophenia before (seeing connections in random or meaningless data). I don’t think the following counts, it leans towards synchronicity.

Or she was a succubus.

A nice lady and her demon

Let me explain. Three timelines in play here:

  • Back when I was a kid, I used to say I’d be a botanist when I grew up. At the time, I was mildly obsessive about nature (I still am). Mum used to say we’d go down the Amazon. Paints a nice family picture, huh?

  • Hop forward to my mid-to-late teens. I am involved in a ‘biblical’ relationship with a German girl. She also has this type of relationship with a few other guys. Can’t really say it was an issue at the time, or now for that matter.

  • Hop forward to present day. I was visiting my folks yesterday, when a couple of their friends popped over. Turns out their daughter is working in the Amazon on a botany field trip, being led by said German girl.


    A couple of answers to this:

  • It’s a coincidence (or incoincident)

  • She’s a Succubus, and stole my mojo.

  • She always wanted to be a Network Engineer/Sys Admin and we swapped destinies.

  • Jungian Synchronicity.


    I’m leaning toward Succubus. It all makes sense to me. Either that or she was some sort of carnal Sylar. No more conclusions than that. Thoughts?
