Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

We took the boys to see The Incredibles last night. Rob read that it got a B+, though I’m not sure who gave it that rating. I loved it! I’d rate it up there with both Toy Story movies and Monsters Inc. I can’t wait to see it again, but at least I’ll have Shrek 2 to entertain me until then.
The movie got me thinking about what super power I’d like if I could choose one. Actually, I’ve been thinking about my super power for a long time now. I always thought flying or invisibility would be the way to go, and if I could have multiple super powers, those would probably be on my list. However, when I really think about it, the super power I’d want is the ability to heal by touch. I’m not altruistic, I just think it’d be neat. I have this little thing I do with the boys when they get hurt. I told them when they were very young that all mommies have a healing touch. It’s kinda cute to see them run to me calling “Healing touch! Healing touch!” when they get hurt. It works, of course, but not in a super hero kind of way. Maybe it’s because I’m a mommy that I’d like healing touch as my super power.
What would your super power be?
Flying and super-strength. Ooh, and x-ray vision (for purely legitimate purposes, I hasten to add). Laser eyes and icey breath would be pretty cool too.
Let’s face it, Superman has all the best powers, even if he is a bit of a boring guy. Superman’s powers with the cool of Wolverine. Definitely the way to go.
I like your choice. It says a lot about your motivations as a human being.
That’s what I like about being a writer: words can heal. I hear that from people all the time, and it motivates me to use my pen (or keyboard, or DSL modem, or whatever other piece of technology I use to crunch words) to extend that touch as far as possible.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
