(Anonymous) 2012-06-05 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)Now, relying on extreme coincidence isn't necessarily the most successful approach, but it can work. (For example, in my very first university class ever I sat down next to a girl. All we got from talking to each other was that our dorm rooms were actually on the same floor, and neither of us had another class for an hour, so she ended up coming back to my dorm with me. While there she saw my copy of I Am America (And So Can You!), freaked out, pulled it out, and all of a sudden we found out we that both of us were in fandom and we actually had a ton in common. So extreme coincidence can yield you results... but after three years of schooling, that's the only time it ever happened to me.)
But really, if you heard a ringtone from a fandom you recognized, would you go over to the person whose phone was ringing and start up a conversation? From the way you've worded this secret it doesn't sound like you would, so... why would you expect someone else to?
If you're content to keep wishing and waiting, then dream on for the coincidence, OP, there's definitely a chance it could happen. But if you really want to find a fandom friend at school then be a little more proactive. See if there are any clubs, or maybe just make friends in general because who knows - there's a chance they're just as shy about fandom irl as you.
