wakko101's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wonder Woman, I'm not... I think I’ve figured out what my superpower is. Bro Dave once discerned that he had a superpower – he could make people smoke. Those who didn’t regularly smoke, smoked around him and when he was around smokers, they smoked that much more. It wasn’t an overly impressive, or entirely useful, superpower, but it was his. Personally, I believe it runs in the family, as I have observed the same phenomenon for myself, but I couldn’t really lay claim to it. He had discovered it, it was his. But I finally came up with my own. I have the uncanny ability to make elevator doors close…when no one is in them. It’s true. I’ve been conducting tests. Well, maybe not scientific, empirical tests and all that, but it’s definitely a trend that I have observed. At the office building where I work, there are three elevators all in a row. As it is a relatively small building, there is little traffic so generally one will be waiting for a passenger on the first floor at any time. Everyday, and without fail, I will walk up to the waiting door and it will close only to have the one next to it open. It’s weird and, to be honest, a little freaky. I first thought it was some paranormal poltergeist that was out to get me. He would follow me in, wait until I got three feet away from the door and start pressing buttons. I have a fear of getting caught the door, so I don’t tend to rush to get it. It’s the same with subways. But now I know better. It’s my power. Maybe I have some weird electromagnetic force that emanates from my body which only affects mobile electronics. Or maybe the power of my mind is so strong that when I think the door is going to close on my nose, it actually tries to. In any event, I’m going to have to think of a cool name. 1:40 p.m. - 2003-09-04 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
