Your "Real Life" Super Power

Post by Catamaul » Mon May 24, 2004 2:22 pm

Many times in those personality tests, people ask what super power you would like to have (flying, invisibility, etc...). On a flip side from that, what is your real life super power. For example, Infin8Cyn's might be the power to make lists of softwares or hardwares, of unparalleled quality.

I have found that I have been given the amazing ability to create analogies for any situation. Comes in quite handy.

I have been given the ability to sound like an arrogant, superior brit.

Because I am one. :P

You are inferior.
I am also able to relate anything to anything else. I'm also quite handy with mental arithmetic, and I find I can predict the lottery numbers to a disturbing accuracy, but only 3 minutes before the lottery happens.

I can take apart something mechanical and either fix it, or fix the next one that I take apart, with no manual or instructions whatsoever. I'm very handy when it comes to making things work, and understand most mechanical things without reading tons of pages of books and manuals...

Actually, I have the ability to be ignored by everyone even if I post a good post.

I have the ability to take long paragraphs of complicated sentences and extract the essential meaning from the text, which I've been able to do for years before I ever came across any internet forums.

translation: I read fast--always have.

I have the power to take anything I experience and put it into words very very well...

"The keys are hard and smooth beneath my fingers. They betray a past of heavy ussage, textured here and there, but mostly worn a slippery smooth from years of rapid depression. They clack, if you will, in such a way that each time I press one, it's as though I'm hearing it not through my ears, but rather directly through my bones, plastic upon plastic, moving swiftly. Bright sunlight from a window on the left casts long shadows from each key, which disappear as the key slides down into its personal slot, hiding away from the others till my finger releases it. Each depression produces a character upon my monitor, black on white, usually similar to the shape painted on the key, though not always, and each time, a tiny miracle of understanding. I type quickly and smoothly, letting my words choose themselves. Occasional errors demand I reach for the backspace, but they grow more rare with each passing sentance, my fingers remembering their dancefloor better with each ussage. To type here is to create, or at the very least, to explain creation."

I'm also a spelling nazi. Blaze: It's spelled "usage" and "sentence" :P

I can solve simple computer problems with a single bound.
Don't waste your time on jealously, sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself.
