As a songwriter and musician, I'd just like to say that it's
extremely comforting to hear Kate say this, as this is a 
common occurrence in my work.  In fact, I often have no clue
what something I write is about, and then about 2 weeks later
something in my own life eerily matches up with it. 
[cue Twilight Zone theme...]

Oh, well, this is a group about Kate, not me.  Sorry to trouble 
you all.  I just was gratified that I'm not alone in this feeling.

I couldn't have said it better myself, IED, though I *did* try
a few articles ago...
