SuperHiro · Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 3:23 pm Post subject: Your Real Life Super Power?

Everyone has an ability or power they consider special. I have two - the first is super stealth. I sneak up and scare my co-workers and family all the time. There is almost no one I can't sneak up on and startle, and this happens accidtntally all the time even in stores. I will walk up to someone who works in the store and they have no idea I am there until I say something, which always startles them.

The second power is a little annoying - stickiness. If there's a chance for my beltloop to get snagged on something, or my backpack straps, or anything on my person they will! I've torn more belt loops by getting snagged on door handles, fences, you name it. (Maybe one day I will fall off a cliff and this will actually come in handy, who knows.)

So what's your real life super power?

Well, I will admit that I have what is called hyperflexibility. No, I am not a cortonsionist (sp?) but my joints are more flexible than average. I can get in and out of places you wouldn't think i possible.

I also have an annoying power. I create static anywhere, and everywhere. I annoy the heck out of my wife because I shock her everywhere we go! thunder

I am a real life empathic. I know exactly how people are truly feeling, even when they are hiding it with something else. It's wierd. I am almost sure I know what people are thinking at times as well, especially pets. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt last night that my dog wanted a drink of water, then, without any outward signs, I knew she had to use the bathroom. I followed her into another room, knowing exactly why she was going in there, and there she was, peeing on the carpet. AGGHH!

I have to go with superhiro on this I also have 2 powers.

First I have the same ability of super stealth. I have scared everyone I work with as well as my friend at a house I was at while it was totally quiet. I jumped down old wood steps that he was by and he still had no idea I was around. I walked over to him and said hi and scared the junk out of him. He thought he was all alone there.

Second I have a horrid power of hit-n-scratch. I for some odd reason hit my arms, hands, and legs into everything around me without reason. This leave scratches on me. I can be at work building a hub assembly for a car and suddenly my hand rams into part of the machine and then I get another scratch. This could come in handy on a crowded bus!

I have the power to manipulate chi! Okay, so we all do.
I'm also a psychic, although I've never done anything superhero-esque with my psychic abilities lol

I once exhibited telekinesis. I threw a crumpled paper at a wastebasket, and clearly missed. The paper had gone below the rim of the basket and should have hit the ground, but it changed direction in midair and went back upward to land in the basket. There was nothing around the basket it could have bounced off oof, either.

I'm super-perceptive. I'm critical for a living, so I pick up on little details to the point of annoyance of those around me. Especially speech-patterns, since I monitor people all day.

Example:
A man I didn't know started talking to me while I was on my smoke break. He spoke for about three minutes before I stopped him and asked him how many older siblings he had. He was taken aback and he said, "Two older sisters, why?" I told him, "You speak very fast in casual conversation. You have the mannerisms of someone that had to fight to get yourself heard when you were younger." He wasn't impressed, even though I assured him I wasn't trying to insult him.

Oh well.

this might be a little freaky..

usually what I say or think of comes pretty true.. to a degree.. I haven't won the lottery yet.. but here are a few examples.

its mostly with the tv & movies.

when ever Im watching TV or a movie I always say's lines that are coming up and I've never seen the episode or movie before..

When I want to see a peticular show's episode or Movie.. or if I mention a movie, its usally on with in the next week.. my husband actually asked me if I would think of a peticular Cheers episode and it was on the tv in two days.

when my husband is watching football and he needs something to happen, I'm like don't worry baby he will miss the convertion kick.. and guess what.. it happens. or his team is down and I come in and say.. don't worry baby they will win... and they do..

If i really don't want to do something like go to a wedding or a get together of some sort. something always happens that I don't have to do it.

One time watching the Kentucky derby.. when War emblem was suposed to win.. I was watching in my room and Mark was in the living room.. I saw the horse I like and said thats the one that will win... but mark didn't hear me.. later during the race I'm like yelling at him that I picked that horse.. he was like what do you mean you picked him.. i was like when they where parading around I picked him to win.. he starts freaking out because I never told him I had a feeling.. because he said he would of gone down and put a $100 bucks on him.. we would of won 14,000 dollars.
if i told him... Confused

so what would you call that.. insight?

My father truly has a gift. It has been exhibited no matter where he is. If an animal has left a dropping within 100 yards of him, he will unintentionally step in it. In a 40 day trip through Europe, he hit a target 27 times. That cannot be mere coincidence.
