Super Powers

I couldn't sleep last night because it was really warm (and my grandmother was loudly freaking out on the phone to her brother-in-law in speedy-ass Filipino) so I started thinking about random things. Actually, the term I coined for myself was "intellectually snowballing" when in this mental state. You know those random thoughts - where one thought leads into another thought, so on and so on. Well, so I was thinking, there super warm in my bed, and I got to the idea of super powers.

My best dude friend John said that he'd really like the power to read minds. And, from what I can infer about my friends, and what they would want as super powers, I believe that their wants indirectly reflect their personalities - and, in more cases than one, their insecurities.

This, of course, is definitely just a theory. Besides, I have already talked about this with one of my other friends.

One would like the power to shape-shift. John, of course, would like to read minds. I would like to turn invisible. The reason for this is that I would really like to hide, and stick behind the scenes where I wish I could dwell. Insecurity? Indeed. I don't like people seeing me sometimes, I'd rather hide, disappear. But in reality, I'm one that's always in the front, one whom is always being followed - the leader. I'm not complaining, but here's where my contradiction kicks in. I'm a "natural leader", despite my wants to be a follower. It's quite interesting.

Personally, I'd hate to read minds. My God, why would I want to hear the thoughts of other people, especially if they were thinking bad things about me? Sure, you can be the gossip-hound (such as John, who really is a gossip-hound...yet we still love him!), but when the gossip gets aimed towards you, well...you're bound to become a very angry person. As for shape-shifting - hell, I'm happy how and who I am. Why change? That's too much work, plus being more than one person would probably bring the same amount of problems as knowing the insults of another person's mind.

"Hey, I'm a lion today! Oh dammit, there are no antelope to eat. Hey, I'm a fly today! On shiznit, I'm stuck on a web! Hey, I'm John today, oh dang it I need to gossip!" (Haha no offense, John, you're just an example).

"Hey, I can read that chick's mind...oh God, she hates my guts and thinks I tried to steal her boyfriend, when in all actuality he came onto me! Oh, she wants to slit my throat? Well...that sucks..."

Well, anyway, that's all for now. I'd prefer just chillin' by myself, alone - rather than other things. But hey, that's just me. It shows how much I was a loner I am, but not. Since I am the leader, anyway.

:D
