stuff happened

A discreet way of referring to various sexual acts, often used by women. It certainly refers to more than a quick kiss, but can denote anything from a cloths-on make-out session to full-blown intercourse. The lack of explicit detail is intentional on the part of the user of the phrase.

Girl: "Well, Jim and I ended up sharing a sleeping bag on that camping trip, and stuff happened. Now we're dating."

it's all happening

When circumstances start falling in place as if fate is bringing destiny to fruition.

*likely originated from, or was at least popularized by, the character "Penny Lane" in Cameron Crowe's film Almost Famous

Last month, I was fed up with my shitty friends, lost my favorite hat I'd had for 9 years, got 7 traffic violations, and had a dead end job, but now, I'm meeting a bunch of amazing people, got a new job that feels fulfilling, and feel like more good is coming my way--it's all happening.
