This troper has a knack for having photos taken of him where the environment seems to model itself to his mood. For instance, one photo of him against a dark, cloudy sky had the clouds all curving in to form a perfect halo around his head.

Usually, when This Troper, a {{Genki Girl}}, has an incredible lucky day, it's sunny outside, which is her favorite type of weather.
#37850
This troper was reading an article about a murder in a store. Cue creepy music and this troper thinking of this trope.
#37851
This troper has never been to a funeral where it hasn't rained.
#37852
Same for this troper.
#37853
Neither have I, but I haven't been to any funerals where it ''has'' rained either. How many have you two been to?
#37854
This troper swears the canned music at her job is controlled by mischievous angels or pixies who have fun creating fitting soundtracks for things that happen.
#37855
One time she had to politely tell a new manager not to tell her how to do the job she's been doing for six years. Cue Aretha Franklin's "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" on the canned music.
#37856
The power went out due to construction workers hitting a power line and the store's back-up generators kicked in. This translated to the lights along the perimeter coming on and the canned music starting up again. One middle-aged guy joked that all we needed was a mirror ball hanging from the clock in the middle of the ceiling and we'd have a good environment for a disco. Cue "You Should be Dancing" by the BeeGees (Yes, my store has some weird canned music).

While at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, this troper found the best damn candy in existance. ''Chocolate-covered bacon.'' '''Yes.''' How is this relevent? When I bought it, choir music started playing. Clearly, this was food from the gods.
#37858
This troper had the exact same experience in the exact same place, but with funnel cake. Santa Cruz is weird like that.

A particularly epic example, at least in This Troper's opinion, was at a LARP event she went to. We were at war with a race of lizard men and our group was headed out to battle one of their Big Bad Leaders and his troupe of minions. This battle was crucial and our enemy powerful. We had no idea if we would win or make it out alive. As we walked to the battlefield, the sky began to grow dark. We arrived and were given the description of the huge red lizardman we were facing as it began to rain. Throughout the fight there was a torental downpour and everyone got muddy and wet and it was a very confusing battle. But we won, and as his defeat was being described, as he died, the sky began to clear and and lighten. It was AWESOME!

This Troper's brother has passed the morning trying to repair our computer. Then, in the afternoon, a tempest caused a black out in our condominium, right while he was playing online. Every time he cursed the heavens, a thunder stroke down to add emphasis to his disappointment. Then, the following dialogue toke place: ->'''Brother''': it's all your fault! ->'''Me''': (stops reading a book. A BIG thunder strikes). ->'''Brother''': what was that?! ->'''Me''': my ''fury''.

This troper has had the musical cue version happen twice on him. The first time was a friend walking into the SciFi/Fantasy Lit class he was taking right as a mighty, noble piece of music started blaring next door. Said friend didn't miss a beat when it started, but looked confused when it stopped ''right as he'd sat down''. The second came when I walked into the recreation lounge. Somebody'd had Pillar's ''Frontline'' playing. I managed to throw the double doors open on the beat the bridge ended and the last rounds of the chorus started up. Everyone turns and looks at me as though I'm some sort of phenomenal badass come to lead them to war.

This troper was at a poetry reading with some friends when one reader stood up and began a morbid, depressing piece about the evils of the world. There was a window behind the microphone and right on cue the sun went behind a cloud, so the room went dark and the reader stood out in silhouette against the grey sky.

Several years ago, on this troper's birthday, his parents were buying him a DS and some games. His brother's birthday happened to be a few days later, and this troper's parents decided to test his selfishness by saying they were just getting him the DS and they'd get the games later; they added that they were getting this troper's brother a DVD player along with [=DVD=]s to go with it. This troper was pissed that his brother was getting more and it wasn't even his birthday yet, and the high winds and lightning outside seemed to empathize. His parents revealed it had just been a joke, but the storm didn't stop. Go figure.
#37864
Averted for This Troper. At her grandpa's funeral it was bright and sunny, as well as being unseasonably warm. It even got lampshaded by a cousin who glanced skywards and said, "Don't they know it's supposed to RAIN at FUNERALS?"
#37865
It did on the day of my sister's funeral. Pouring, gushing, open-faucet rain.
#37866
Same here for the sunniness on her granpa's funeral. With mariachi blaring in the background as the dirt was being laid, but then again she likes to think he'd have preferred it that way.
#37867
Here in New York City it rained on September 11 of 2008 or 2009.
#37868
This troper was on a camping trip around the time the sixth HarryPotter book came out, and while reading the climactic scene, it suddenly began to thunderstorm. As if that weren't dramatic enough, about ten minutes into the final chapter, lightning struck fifteen feet from our campsite.
#37869
This troper's parents were on holiday and decided to do the whole compulsory visit to the local cathedral. It was cloudy when they went in and sat down. As soon as the choir started up, the clouds parted and a ray of light shone onto the choir through the window.
#37870
In a kind of variation, this troper experiences SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder,) which causes her mood to change with the environment. It's not quite this trope, but it becomes it after I stand outside for more than 5 minutes.
#37871
In the past six years, only once between 12 check-ups and however many fillings has it not rained when I went to the dentist. I made sure to point this out to said dentist.
#37872
Every time I get annoyed, or have a bad day, the forum I own seems to decide to break and Im even more annoyed cause I have to deal with fixing it.
#37873
My brother was playing a game with random weather patterns. Since we've both completed the game, he went "hunting" a certain species just to be a jerk. When he arrived in their territory, it started to rain. Talk about foreshadowing! (For those curious, it was Lizalfos in Twilight Princess)
#37874
This troper read a disheartening message from her Californian boyfriend saying he would have no time to talk to her that day. Cue the rain once I read it. One of her Skype pals even lampshaded it when I told them #QUOTE#'''RK:'''Why don't you go play outside of something, get your mind off of it #QUOTE#'''This Troper:'''It's raining outside #QUOTE#'''George:'''Empathic weather?

When this troper's human right's activist group went to protest the execution of Johnnie Baston there was a freezing cold, bitter, pounding rain that started off as a simple early spring light shower. Over the the 30 minutes it took for the execution to end his life the weather grew colder and the rain heavier until there was a full storm. At 10:30 the time of the death, the group sung Amazing Grace and the rain let up. Needless to say that moment will be one that will not be forgotten.
