My Superpower

Looking at my Stats page on WordPress I feel bad for not posting for a couple of days. People have bene checking! That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Thanks to those of you who have checked up on me over the past couple of days.

The reason that I haven’t posted is that I have been feverishly attempting to say goodbye to all of my friends at home in preparation for returning to school tomorrow. I’ve been sleeping away from home and beating Shadow of the Colossus rather than writing on here like I should have. I did feel guilty about not writing though. This has become a part of my daily routine, and I feel weird when I go to bed without writing anything.

I observed something interesting today. Whenever I’m nearby, street lights have a tendency to change states. If they’re off, they’ll turn on; if they’re on, they’ll turn off. It happens all the time. Even when I’m walking across campus, lights will go off as I pass them. Could this be more than coincidence? Should I have the physics department check whether I emit weird electromagnetism? It would be kinda awesome if I did.

While I don’t seriously believe that my presence magically affects lightbulbs, it would be very interesting if it did. This also sounds to me like a short story idea. What if you one day discovered that you possess some power as trivial (and kinda useless) as changing the state of a lightbulb? How would that make you feel?

I know that this isn’t quite as long as my usual posts, but I really need to pack up my car now, so I’ll leave off here.

Today’s First Sentence: It’s amazing how your possessions slowly spread to the corners of the earth when you stay in a place too long, to the point that you can’t find a weapon when you need one.
