Quarter of DESTINY!

Let me tell you something absolutely AMAZING! (Yes, this post is long. Don't judge.)

On the way to work/school today, I found a quarter in my coat pocket.  I was pretty sure I'd never met this quarter before, as I don't recall putting it in my pocket, so I greeted it with the ever classic "How you doin?" (made famous by Joey in Friends).  Then I put it back in my pocket, hoping I would remember to put it into my wallet at some undetermined point in the future.

Went to work for two hours...

Left work to go to a Statistics Recitation in the Library...

Do you know what was in the Library?  A sign that said "Books for 25 Cents" (HEY!  WHY is there not a cents sign on this keyboard?! It is a valid sign of currency.  Why does the $ symbol think it is so important?  Well, it is on the number 4...but where's the cents symbol?  Whoever designed this didn't have common sense, so he probably didn't want anyone having any type of sense or cents out of pure hatred and jealousy).

And there was a table of books behind the sign!

Does anyone remember the beginning of this post?  Did I not say I had a quarter I was newly acquainted with? The correct answer is indeed.  Indeed, I did say that.

So I found a marvelous book, even though Mr. Quarter cried and said that he would never speak to me again or even look at me if I spent him, I purchased the book and hurried to get to class on time (and it was CANCELLED!).  Know what that means?

That quarter was the quarter of destiny!  I was meant to go to that library and buy the book, and the quarter knew it, so it magically jumped into my pocket when I wasn't paying attention. And now it's on its way to fulfill another destiny. At first I wished I didn't spend it, because how many quarters of destiny are there in the world? But I'm glad I don't have it anymore, because now it can help other people find amazing deals.

I started reading the book just a few minutes ago and I'm already developing theories regarding its content!

Bloody brilliant.
