I was watching Wanted, and it got me thinking: if I could have a special ability or even a power what would I want it to be? I always thought I would like to be invisible, but I think invisibility might be overrated, not to mention it's only ONE ability, like being able to fly. I think I would like to be a shapeshifter more than anything else. The ability to turn into anything I want kind of trumps the whole invisibility thing, because in a way, if you can turn into anything to blend in, you are invisible. Not to mention if I wanted to fly, I could just turn into something that does ergo a bird. Another power I would like to have is being able to walk through things like Kitty Pride in X-Men. There is one power I would not want and that's being able to see the future. I worry enough as it is, I don't need to see what's coming on top of it. Not to mention it takes the mystery out of life which is what's part of making it worth living. Oh, and the whole curving a bullet thing, that would be awesome too.

Writing Again.
As the title so obviously puts it, I'm writing again. For those of you that don't know I'm trying to complete my book that I've been working on since I was 16. And no, I haven't been writing it for 5 years straight. I can't get it to come out the way I want it to so I'll write a few chapters and then delete them and start over. The other day I decided I'm just going to write until I can't write anymore, and that I'm going to suppress the urge to hit the backspace button. The past few days I've been on a roll. I've turned out 26 pages and have no intention of slowing down. My goal is to have everything completed by March if not sooner. When I hit the 80,000 word mark I'm going to have a little party in my head. If and when I get it finished I've decided the first publisher I'm going to hit up is Penguin. Hopefully they like it, if they don't I'll try someplace else. But like I said I actually have to have a finished product for it to get published. So here's to hoping.

Dream When You're Feeling Blue.
This is my favorite song, ever.
Dream, when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there
So dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream
Dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream dream
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream
-Written by Johnny Mercer and Performed by Frank Sinatra
CD=The Magic of Old Blue Eyes.

something I have to say.
It is now 11:58 pm and everyone the world in the world knows that America has just elected it's first African-American President. So for the record...
Congratulations Senator Obama. Although I did not vote for you and can't even really claim to like you, since you will be the Commander-in-Chief as of January 20, 2009 I am inclined to respect you. I have this to say, I hope that you take your job seriously, I hope that you do all of the things you promised, and I hope with every bit of my heart that you do not lead astray American Democracy. You made history, do not take it lightly.
As for Senator McCain. Sir, I believe you are a true American hero and it saddens me that you will not hold the office you so rightfully deserve. I believe you would have done great things for this country by holding its highest positon, but I also believe you have made a positive mark on America as a whole that will never be forgotten. Thank you Senator McCain and I wish you all the best. You will always be my choice for President.
And America, I'm thankful for this election having such a high voter turnout. Whether it went my way or not, it was something to be proud of.
p.s. I'm still a Republican ;)
