So don't jump on me for being crazy (I already know that I am

), but I do believe that things happen for reasons... Not, perhaps, ALL things, but some things are just meant to be.
Ready for the lunacy?? Here's my story - -
When I was younger, 11 or 12 maybe, my neighbors were moving and had a garage sale. At that age (well, still now I guess), I loved garage sales - - but I missed this one. *sigh* I was riding my bike around the neighborhood later that night and saw their trash pile (I guess they elected to get rid of everything they didn't sell) and it pretty much just looked like a big comforter covering trash. Not sure what possessed me, but I stopped to snoop. Lo and behold, I uncover a 2 ft (almost) tall ceramic Snake (a cobra, to be precise), real detailed and painted nicely. My first thought was "well this is neat, it's a big snake, it'll scare my mom!!"... Being a real imaginative child, my second thought was "It looks real old and scary..Well not scary, but..seceretive.. Maybe it belonged to some club or something. Maybe it was a mascot. That'd be a cool mascot!!! Maybe..." etc.
Fast forward 7 years.
I get into SK and love it. Had been active for probably a semester or so and was making a new screen name for AIM (amySKsnake) and realized

(Looking up at my snake) - -Club..Mascot..Snake (yes, I still had it, 7 years later - - who knows why I kept it)..Sig Kap!!!!!!!! How neat is that!? It then became the Sigma Kappa Snake
