Synchronicity

Okay, this is just weird. Today I decided that it didn't make sense for my blog title to be different from my URL (it was bettyisblue.blogspot.com, because bettyblue.blogspot.com was taken by some Jennifer in Amsterdam who posted all of one line to her blog in November of 2000), so I decided to change it. First I thought about the 37.2, and figured I wouldn't be allowed to use a period (full stop, for you Brits), so I came up with 37point2degreesinthemorning. And that just looked silly long. So I thought, okay: 37point2degrees. That's nice and neat. There's no way anyone could possibly have that URL. I like it. It's in.

And then Blogger told me I couldn't have it because it already existed. WTF? Who in the world would have come up with that exact shortened version of an obscure anglicized title of a cult French film and replaced the period with the word "point"?

Well, it turns out, I would.

Check it out: 37point2degrees.blogspot.com—a 41-year-old bipolar woman calling herself Betty Blue, using the same blog title and the same freakin' template! What are the odds of this? I wanted to e-mail her and tell her she had a doppleganger over on the other side of the pond, but she has no e-mail listed, and doesn't take comments on her blog. Drat. Well, other bipolar Betty Blue, maybe you'll stumble upon me one of these days and we can chat. (Hopefully, we won't cause our two worlds to explode if we ever meet face to face.)

Oh, and what does Other Betty Blue list as one of her interests? Synchronicity.
