If you could pick any ONE power...

hum...old thread, but alright.

1. It wasn't an official test but apparently my IQ hovers around 140 depending on how much sleep I've had.
2. I'm currently in the process of publishing my first book.
3. I have unnaturally good luck when sick. At a birhday once I was playing pool with a friend. I had the flu or something close to it. I half aimed, took and took a shot. It hopped over my frends bal, hit the edge of the frame of the table, bounced at a ninety degree angle, over another of my freind's pool balls. Hit mine, and got it into the hole. My dad is the opposite. A freind bought him a role of forty scratch off tickets once....not a single one was a winner...of anything, not even a penny. 1 in 5 chance of winning two....when our lucks collide bad things happen. I guessed the lottery once. On a trip home from the relatives we stopped by a gas station and bought a ticket, they let me guess the number and my dad went in to buy the ticket...after he left my head hurt and the last number changed, I ran in to tell him, and he already bought the ticket....it ends up that when the numbers came in we had it all except for one number....I was actually right.
4. Apparently I am a very, very, very, good shot.So was my dad, and most of my relatives, but I'v only actually fired a gun about three times in my life.
5. I have a freind who for a time believed he coudl control fire, after revieving an odd pamphlet from a man on the street in Raleigh which apparently explained psychic powers during a field trip. We were in elementary school. Apparently he can though, he can reach into flames for several seconds without even feeling warm. Another friend of mine was convinced that she was followed by the spirit of Kakashi I tested this once, by asking her to ask him to knock over a piece of paper I had stet up. After I asked it began fluttering wildly, the odds are she was just possessed...Mine are less consistent, I tried controlling a fire once, it just kept winking in and out and fluttering, Apparently I have slight control over wind, Have dreams that come true a good month after I've had them, slight control over animals, and telekinesis. However the odds are that we are all insane.

 I'd give a more detailed and profound response, but I find bathos to be incredibly hilarious.

We were only supposed to only put  five interesting/unique facts about ourselves!

[Zaleramancer]

Bathos?

I've heard of Pathos, but Bathos?

I did give at least FIVE of them.



Oh my now you've got me CAPITALIZING.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

So, should I give it a go?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Bathos. Tis I, the Viceroy of Verbosity. The Lord of Language. The Artisan of Articulation. Indeed, the Penultimate.

Oh, yeah, and my kind of expression tends to have that contagious effect on people. No worries, you're not the only one who's adopted either a phrase of mine or some means of expressing self.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Yes.

[Zaleramancer]

So who Bathosed?

I did.

Rather than some long, draw out blah-blah-blah about how touched I am that you felt you could open up to us, I defaulted to the fact that you bypassed the thread-imposed limit of only FIVE things we reveal about ourselves.

[Zaleramancer]

Ah.

I'm wondering how many people actually read it..

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 We shall see.

[Zaleramancer]

Shall we?

I wonder what people think about me sometimes.

[Mik_Hael]

In my opinion the less you know about someone, and the less they know about you, the better.

[Zaleramancer]

But I want to grok.

And I will slowly pick up on someone else's behavior and personality anyway.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Grok?

Tis I, the Penultimate. Also known as the Ungrokkable Hulk.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Heh heh heh....ungrokkable...

[Zaleramancer]

Pssh posh.

I know you better than most of the other people. You make long posts about your views.

I could recognize your writing style from a thousand paces!

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Fine, fine, you have me there. But otherwise, my mind is a shroud of esoteric arcana, a labyrinthine gridlock of mystery, absurdity and the divine.

I think I alternate mine between rambling insanity, midwest/eastern U.S, scientist research paper, and 19th century english enough to remain chaotic.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Yeah, I don't get any of that from you.
