Today I tried to make a diamond. I tried to make it both out of nothing and with a piece of wadded up paper. I couldn’t do it, sadly. So these things go right? The tests are going to get harder soon; I’ll need to try to control massive amounts of people somehow and whatnot. Wish me luck on such endeavours.

In other news, the dentist said to brush my teeth and avoid drill happy dentists. Awesome?

Today I tried to create or control wind. No luck at all actually. I attempted say wind, making windy noises, and making various appropriate gestures. Nice try I guess?

In other news, yesterday I learned that you really should cut away from yourself. I chopped my finger pretty badly with my recently sharpened kershaw. Also: I did a presentation on Go today and I think it went well. Two people spoke to me after the presentation and one of them asked if we could play together some time. Exciting!

I tried walking through walls and had no luck. I tried both cinder-block and wood. I also tried willing myself through, imagining walking through, “just doing it,” and probably others that I don’t remember. J-Dot was there which is why this gets his seal of approval.

In other news, my laptop’s power plug slot thing got broken, so my whole laptop was broken. GOAT and I looked up the part online, bought it (thanks laptopjacks,) and soldered it in. This is of course after taking the entire thing apart (it was deeply hidden inside.) Interestingly, I had saved every little bit of plastic and whatnot while taking it apart and one of those pieces of plastic turned out to be a transistor that broke off when the plug thing broke. We soldered that in as well. After we put it back together it worked! Wow! Pretty cool. Anyway, I am probably going to look into getting a new one soonish anyway, so if anyone has any ideas, let me know.

Today I tried to see through walls. J-Box stood on the other side of an eight-inch cinder block wall and made hand signals and I tried to see what the signals were. I tried looking through the wall, touching the wall with my hand and forehead, and guessing. I was wrong every single time. Guess not this time!

In other news, I am having this tea my mom sent me called Crepe Faire and it is THE BEST HERBAL TEA I have ever had. Also, if you want to laugh joyously enjoy Flight of the Conchords on YouTube. Fun will abound!

Today I tried to control the weather. I tried to create lightning, clouds, and a tornado. I tried the regular tricks of imagination, will, and word. Maybe there is a **power word** that I need to learn that will let me do these kind of things. Or maybe it’s more like a muscle and I just need to learn how to use the muscle. If only I had directions!

Today was long. Sleep will be good. Tomorrow we upgrade the loft as well as awesomate. I’m stoked. I might be able to get a couch too, but more realistically that will be Saturday. The land-locked machine is about a half done with it’s six hundred updates. WONDERFUL.

Today I tried to read minds, _numerous_ times. I had no success at all. I tried just casually *trying* to read both Edgar and J-Curly’s minds. I also tried physical touch, touching foreheads, imagining reading a book with their thought’s on it, and numerous other things. No luck at all my friends!

Tomorrow the kiddies move in. Hopefully they are a quantifiable amount of awesome, right? What is the unit for quantifiable awesome you ask? It’s a gnarl. How does one define a gnarl? Maybe I’ll do that rigorously tomorrow.

Today I tried to tell J’ to get me a drink of water with my mind. I imagined him getting it, I told him in my mind to get it, I even told him out loud (but not loud enough for him to hear) to get me a glass of water. He claimed that he was thinking of escalators, but that’s not really the same at all, so you know, no mind control for me. This is a really complicated one though, because what if it’s just control of the female mind, or the animal mind, or one specific person’s mind? I’ll investigate more later.

In other news, I put together my desktop computer, which is super exciting. I have music and dual monitors and all that jazz. I missed that guy for the past three months! Also: 533 updates is a lot for three months. Lastly, I came up with a lot of ideas of power to try out yesterday so I doubt there will be much of a dearth of fun free fREWbish thoughts for silly people to read. Station.

Yesterday I tried traveling forward in time. It was, as usual, unsuccessful. I tried saying how far forward I wanted to go, imagining the future in 5 minutes, willing myself to the future, and hoping for the future. Again, small increments for the same reason as last time I tried time stuff.

In other, hopefully obvious, news, I changed drawing styles. I like it better. Also I hope to get back into once a day every day. Things are chaotic with moving. Lastly, I have arranged my dream stuff so that I can test super powers in dreams. I still think I will need certain chemicals to *really* test out the powers, but I need to get back into the habit of lucid dreaming anyway. Station.

Last night I tried to create enough “warmies,” that is, energy in the form of heat, to be comfortably warm without any covers at all. It was a failure and I did not sleep very well. I also feel a little bad because the warmies I *did* create were just vanilla entropy, aka cosmic pollution. I hope that I did not contribute to a universal heat death.

In other news I am back at school and somewhat moved in. I just got conned out of 20 bucks and I am wishing that I were less trusting. If anyone else is in Longview drop me a line and we can awesome together.

Today I half-heartedly tried to go back in time. The thing is is that I am a little worried that it may actually be my super power. The problem is this: what if I went back too far? Does that mean that I have that much life *less* to live or does it mean I just have to be bored for that amount of time? Or worse, what if my power is only going *forward* in time? That means all I can do is *miss* stuff. That would be too sad for words, so I have been hesitant to try this and even when I did try it I only tried to go back like, 10 minutes. Maybe I’ll try more later on this one, but I’ll need a solid reason.

In other news, I am driving to Texas tomorrow, so busy day. It will be one of those “sweet sorrow” times that we are all acquainted with more than we’d like to be. Also: I really dig Supergrass.
