Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, a backstory:

I was rolled for a breeding win back in September. I have been hemming and hawing since the baskets dropped: not only which basket I am keeping, but also how to find the others a good home.

So, this is a first for me in Soquili: I've settled on a raffle.

Starts: Now
Ends: November 12, 2026 @ 8pm PST.

The day after this raffle ends is Friday the 13th, tell me of a time when you had strangely good (or bad) luck (short answer of what made it a good or bad day):



I remember one Friday the 13th was a blood moon, and it freaked me out, but I also thought it was really cool. I walked home from the grocery store thinking maybe I'd get attacked by zombies or smth, and that never happened. So I guess I was lucky? xd

Flying from DC to Paris, and an added 3 hours in each end, with three OLD cats and we had _only one_ cat have an accident that Entire time. I think that counts as insanely unexpectedly good luck.

The day after this raffle ends is Friday the 13th, tell me of a time when you had strangely good (or bad) luck (short answer of what made it a good or bad day): One Friday the 13th I had to work through my lunch to take care of some last minute requests with tight deadlines. I had finally finished everything and just wanted to eat some ramen. I opened the ramen, added the seasonings to the bowel, and walked over to the office water dispenser [it has a hot water option]. As a coworker was walking over to ask me something I dropped my ramen. It pained me. I wanted to cry.

The day after this raffle ends is Friday the 13th, tell me of a time when you had strangely good (or bad) luck (short answer of what made it a good or bad day): hmm, I guess strangely bad luck. About 6months or so before I got married. My(now) husband and I got our first car together(pt cruiser convertible- Blue). 12 days owning it and we get tboned turning at a light and it gets totaled. Strange good luck/bright side, we never had to make a single car payment on it xP
Side note: hubs and I have been married now 14+ years and I still have a knot from my collarbone being broken from the accident from not being set and healing right

The day after this raffle ends is Friday the 13th, tell me of a time when you had strangely good (or bad) luck (short answer of what made it a good or bad day): It was bad luck but kind of funny in a way. I was at a friend's house and was playing with their dog, running back and forth in the house.... i decided it would be a good idea to run outside while my friend was in the kitchen, .. caught my foot on the lip of the doorway and came crashing down on my knees..... poor pupper was jumping at me trying to lick my face... i couldn't move for a couple mins, turns out i fractured my kneecap (slightly) but by the time i went to a doctor, they couldn't do anything other than telling me to rest. I still find it funny to be honest and my own fault for, at 40 and with physical health issues, to be trying to play chase with a dog XD.... and that was actually on a Friday 13th ...

So. I am married to a wonderful man. He's basically a unicorn, and we met only because things had to line up in exactly the right way. First, Grant Gustin had to be cast as both Barry Allen on the CW's The Flash, and Sebastian Smythe on Glee. I had to get into Glee RPing playing a certain other character, and a person we'll call L had to love Grant Gustin most ardently, which lead to her playing Sebastian. We had to ship our characters and get along super well out of character. She and her roommate had to live in Ohio. I had just moved from Iowa to Kentucky and didn't really know where I wanted to go next. She, jokingly, invited me to come live up in their city, and after about 5 minutes of googling, I agreed.

From there, I was lucky enough to find an apartment about 5 minutes from where they lived (and where I was sleeping on their couch) that was exactly within our budget, huge, and perfect for all three of us to live together - which had not been the plan, as I wanted to live on my own at least once, but it was too good an opportunity to pass up. After we had lived together for a while, L started dating someone who seemed like, nice and normal enough, and I was like, well, if there's one nice and normal enough guy in this city, there's probably more than one, right? So I randomly made an OKCupid account, with literally 0 expectations that anything would go anywhere, which made the whole thing way less stressful and way more fun.

Less than 48 hours after joining the app, one of the people I sent a message to was my now-husband: on his profile, he'd listed one of his hobbies as "writing political-themed parodies of Broadway songs". And I was like, I know what all these words mean, but not in this order. Please explain???

Now, my now-husband had been planning on deleting his account and the app, because it hadn't done him any good whatsoever. But, we both have ADHD, and he forgot (because it's not like I messaged him three days after Valentine's Day or anything that might have reminded him about the dating app he was unsuccessfully "on"). He got my message and immediately replied with a modern-politics version of the opening song from Hamilton, and reader, I was gone.

And also, we met three weeks before the entire world shut down, which was not a lucky thing, but meeting him at that time was certainly better than meeting him after, and we definitely helped each other get through the worst of the pandemic.

So, yeah. If not for being in the Glee community at that exact time playing that exact character against a character played by that person who lived in that exact place, my now-husband and I never would have even known the other existed. Truly the things that had to align, the ripple effects are insane when I think about it (esp bc that roommate relationship went down the drain FAST and the now-husband helped me through that, which was the 2nd-most difficult time of my life). So I guess I'm lucky that I was finally when and where I needed to be, and that there was, in fact, one other nice and normal enough guy in this city!
