My superpower, although, usually ineffective and subconsciously used is called "Scoping the Blitz"

Pretty much I tend to be able to avoid areas where bad things have happened or places where something  bad is going to happen. If I can be kept at a steady level of sleep deprivation and stimulation, I tend to mumble something relevant to it - so sayeth my roomate.

Case in point, I and my roommate used to live in a dorm room with a window, on the 7th floor. In the wee hours, about 3 am - in the midst of playing Halo online with my brother, I looked straight at my roommate and said "Close the win, you'll regret it." She apparently thought I was  talking about the game.

A week later a drunk student fell from his window on the 5th floor, to his death.

By far the creepiest part, he landed in front of the first floor dorm room- a quad that my three friends wanted to get, but I had adamantly refused because I hadn't wanted any drunk male students bothering us.


My roomie slept in her boyfriend's room for a straight week.

My superpower is that I can tell when a customer is going to leave me a crap tip or no tip. (they're usually more demanding than average but not always).

But in a more useful vein, I can be charming. I have to focus on it but I can charm just about anyone if I set my mind to it.

That's cool and funny. XD

Apparently I do something similar but I think it's more due to the fact that I'm easily over looked (is kinda small and mouse-ish) but when I choose to make myself known it tends to disturb people for some reason. o_O...
I'm not talking about sneaking up on people just making myself heard in general I seem to have the nack to say stuff that makes people go WTF?!?
Too bad I can't seem to work it in my favor.
Or the fact that I remind people of people they know.

I'd be a good spy if I wasn't such an easily inimidated lil' wuss...

Must resist urge to make D&D joke..... Must resist.......

I have the amazing ability of perfect pitch! And I can sight read or fake just about any music. That's pretty handy in the career I'm in.

My superpower is the ability to predict what will happen in the immediacy of a baseball game, and to a lesser extent before the game starts.  I will spare the details because it would involve discussing baseball jargon which everyone might not know/care about.  But it's funny, people try to get me to do it but it doesn't work that way.  I just have to feel it and say it, and it will happen.

This "sensing" power also extends to other things a bit, most likely due to my being a Pisces.





(sorry tohubohu )

I have two powers!

The first is not a superpower so much as a pretty goodpower.  I'm very fast and accurate at mental math.  Not to a savant level -- I have to close my eyes and think really hard for a couple minutes if I want to multiply two three-digit numbers together, for instance -- but I can do an average 25-minute SAT math section with perfect accuracy in ten minutes without using pencil, paper, or calculator.  This makes me simultaneously an awesome tutor and an awful tutor.

The second is that I can learn the basic principles of any academic field quickly and easily, and remember them a decade later.  This is accompanied by one of my greatest weaknesses: I cannot learn the advanced principles of any field with any fluency.  I hit a plateau and feel like I'm making no progress.  I get bored at about the same time and conclude that this field isn't for me.

I have another superpower. You can give me any screenshot from the series and I can immediately tell what episode and scene it's from. Yeah, that's easy if it's someone's shirt open or Utena yammering about lunch, but see how well you can distinguish between the 10000 shots of Anthy's vacant expressions.

....it's not a very good superpower.
