I AM Super! You don't agree?! Fine... *ZAP!!!!!*

Amidst cries of "You've neglected your blog" from the Angela on my list posting, here is another entry, this one about super powers. I refuse for the Becky to label me a "neglectful blog owner."

Last night, the Angela asked me, "If you had a super power, what would it be?" She added later that I couldn't pick something cliché like the ability to fly or she threatened me with the following: "I will zap you." With that threat, I was inspired by a desire I used to have years ago when I basically resented the entire world, unfortunately.

I would personally LOVE the ability to zap people at will. Yes, you think it would be fun too and don't deny it. It would be absolutely delightful to have the ability to zap people with a painful shock of electricity that looks like a lightning bolt flying from my hand. It of course would not kill my selected victim although I suppose it could happen if I was enraged enough. But it would be just cool if I zapped a bunch of people at once-just think of all the lightning bolts spreading from my fingers at my targets at once!

Being able to zap people has its benefits, too. I could always jump-start my car if the battery dies with a nice zap and away I go while everyone else still is looking for their MIA jumper cables in their car trunks. And I wouldn't need to worry during a thunderstorm or other electically-volatile weather disturbance. I could keep swinging away on the golf course while everyone else runs for their lives except for the fact that I don't like getting wet when I don't want to. Plus getting hit by lightning bolts would make me happily glow for a while and you could see lightning come from my mouth while I'm singing or from my hands and feet while playing the piano! Beethoven and Bach become truly electrifying experiences!

So there, I'd love to zap people if I so felt like it. But I can't, so I'm still stuck singing like everyone else, still stuck playing piano like everyone else, still stuck jump-starting my car like everyone else, and still stuck running for my life from the golf course in a thunderstorm. Well, if I played golf...

Well, I learned something very interesting the other day: Men are more likely to get zapped by lightning than women. Why? Because they are doing more outdoor activities and women run inside because they don't like to get their hair wet.

On another note, in order to jump you battery you would first have to own a vehicle. A very imporant point indeed.

Would you zap even little ol' me?

Did you know that men are more likely to be struck my lightning the women? No-no it is true. The results are this way according to my NRM professor because of the majority of the golfing and fishing communities are men and... "Women have enough sense to come in out of the storm." - his words not mine.
Good thing you don't golf.

Ahh! Becky has stold my story again.

Oh dear, Becky seems to have picked up a habit of theft. Perhaps she's a klepto, in which case I would have to zap her (sorry Becky).

Yes I think a mild zapping would definantly be in order. (Then again she is going to be a teacher and they are encouraged to steal...)
