Yeah, I know that it’s not amazing, but it was the best I could come up with at the time. I tried the regular stuff, hand motions, verbal orders, imagination. No go. Also, it’s not Catherine’s super power either.

Sorry for the lapse in super power testing; I’ve been busy and whatnot. Hopefully it will get awesomer soon (that is, hopefully I’ll find my super power.)

Today I tried to transform into a car. I ended up just kinda rolling into a little ball. What I need to do is figure out how to make that awesome transform sound. Also I need to learn how to draw cars maybe. Maybe to transform into something you have to know how it works and stuff…. Maybe I’ll try turning into a computer.

Does anyone know if being a vampire is a super power? And how would I test that? And what about werewolf? Or zombie/zombie robot?

Today I tried to *Control Water*. It was interesting because I was not really sure what to try (I really want to try flying, but I want to try out a lot before I attempt that one) and whilst wondering _what_ I should try the big bottled water thing at my house seemed to randomly bubble. I figured that that might have been a sign and that I might as well try controlling water. Sadly, after trying numerous methods to reproduce the previous results, nothing happened. So it goes right?

In other news, tomorrow I am going to begin on my Go Board. I have wanted to construct one for a long time, and I am going to work on it with my dad, so I am pretty stoked. If anyone has any awesome ideas for painting the lines (normally you do it with what looks like an Italian pizza cutter) let me know.

So I hope this picture makes it obvious that I tried to control a balloon with my MIND.  Sadly I couldn’t control it.  I tried from varying distances away, including extremely close; I tried such methods as imagining the balloon rising, willing the balloon to rise, making various had and finger gestures to get it to rise, and even telling it to rise.  If anyone has any awesome super power ideas for me to try let me know; I doubt I’ll run out of ideas but it might be more fun to try yours.

Also: I am back in Freedom land and it’s awesome.

Still no super power.  Today I tried to make a match light without striking it.  I told it to light, it snapped my fingers at it, I tried using my mind.  All to no avail; it would not light.  So I lit it and tried to control the flame.  I had to light four matches in the hopes that one would stay lit long enough to for me to make the flame do anything but go out.  Sadly, this is not my super power.  Such is life right?

Tomorrow I am flying home from Honduras, so there may or may not be an update.  I don’t want to be on the plane and test my super power and find it.  That would be sure to get me into trouble.  I’ll try nonetheless, but no promises.

Today I tried, unsuccessfully, to levitate off of a couch.  I tried it both sitting and laying down.  I must admit that I felt lighter, but certainly not lighter than air.  It was the feeling often expressed as butterflies in one’s stomach.  Anyway, I get that feeling when I learn a new secret, so I might have just been excited to possibly find my super power.

In other news a man here in Honduras just killed a guy and someone called me on the radio to tell me that if I see a prowler, don’t go chasing his as I might get caught in the crossfire!  Advice will be heeded!

Today the power was out from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm and I figured that it would be quite opportune to see if my latent super power was seeing in the dark.  I agree that that would be a pretty boring super power, but who ever said it had to be awesome?  Anyway, I took a shower for about half and hour in the pitch dark since the power was out and I never saw anything but my watch hands.  I am can safely rule out seeing in the dark.

• Double Jumping
• Flying in the Dark

Stay tuned and we’ll find it yet!

I was thinking about super powers the other day and I came to a realization; even if I do have super powers I rarely try to do things that require super powers so I might have some super powers and not even know it! This could be true of all of us! I mean, honestly, how often do you try to fly, or double jump, or breath underwater, or walk through walls? Not that often right? Or what about the more obscure superpowers, like being able to read a 5.25″ floppy disk with your index finger, or singing and having your voice double into a radio wave on the radio station 105.9 KISS FM? Or what if your super power were helping Shakespeare to write 29 MORE plays, but sadly you were born way too late?

From now on I am going to try a new super power AT LEAST once a day. I will try my best to keep you updated on my progress.

(This is not what happened. I only jumped the first time; the second time I just kinda flailed.)
