Yep. Nature is random.
I tried doing this too recently, and ended up taking all my rock out, and just stacked it randomly. Once you get a few pieces laid, things will start to fall into place.
My two biggest pieces of advice are to first lay the rock out somewhere... on a tarp, towels, whatever, so you can get an at a glance view of what all you have to work with. Second, have your better half help you. That's what I did... it helps to have someone standing at a viewer's perspective while it's being placed.
