I have a super power, but I don't like it much. My super power is that I get fresh fries. Yup, fresh fries. How do I know this is a super power? Because it happens way too much. The kicker is that I like my fries sort of old. I prefer Wendys fries that have been sitting in the bin for a bit. Delicious. Instead, I get piping hot fresh fries. Also, I know people who complain about always getting the ever delicious old fries, while I'm always getting fresh fries. This leads me to determine that I get fresh fries at a significantly greater rate than most normal people. I have some kind of energy field about myself that can affect the variables of future occurances to ensure that when I go get fast food, the fries will have just come out of the frier. Super power. Stupid super power.
My first girlfriend also had a super power. Everything she bought ended up being on sale. All the time. And I'm talking impulse shopping, not going around and looking for stuff she knew would be on sale. There would be no indication, no tags, but when we got up to the register it was always marked down some way or another. This did not apply to things I was trying to buy her, so it didn't help with gift giving. Now that's a super power I can get down with.
Anyway, I assume most people have some sort of power, even if they're not aware of it. Maybe you do. Maybe it is awesome. More likely it's like mine, but hey, you could get a good one.

On a totally different note, but still about super powers, I want to talk about wacky super powers. Every now and again I get addicted to answering the Message in a bottle bottles in the aquarium on Gaia. One of my favorite things to do is come up with rediculous super powers when people ask "What super power would you like?" You know, because why bother with an original question? Anyway, super powers. For some reason I can't remember most of them, but one of the best still sticks in my mind -
Eyeball Eye-beams.
This power allows you to shoot a beam of eyeballs from your eyes. That standard attack fires a steady stream of gooey, icky eyeballs at people. Each eyeball fires with a pop sound, so firing a rapid beam comes with a rapid popping noise. These can be fired in one or two streams, one big mega stream from both eyes, a shotgun like spread shot, or individually. Also, the power heals your eyesight to perfection (I'm very nearsighted so it would be annoying to have to lift my glasses every time I wanted to fire off an eyeball). These eyes are mostly an attack, but you can stick an eye somewhere and look through it if you want, allowing you to become an effective spy or scout, or the worst sort of peeping tom imaginable (but you wouldn't do that, right?). The velocity of the eyeballs can be controlled, though, so you can merely annoy people, or you could fire right through them. If you're particularly hammy, you could also give a line about how you can see right through them after shooting eyeballs through them.
So yeah, eyeball eye-beams. I mostly imagine using these to freak people out. Just shooting eyeballs at people would be crazy enough. How about getting on top of a building and raining eyeballs down? Or that thing where someone pretends to pull out their eye and put it back in? You could totally one up them by opening your hand to reveal an eyeball once you've pretended to pull it out. Ah, the things you could do. Mostly irritating things. Anyway, you don't feel any pain from the eyeballs, so that's no big, and to be clear, these shoot out of your normal eyes, so it's not like you shoot the eye in your socket out and another one comes up from behind. Though I imagine you could replace a damaged or missing eyeball with one from your beam.
On a side note, I had wondered what would happen if your eyes weren't healed by the power. I guess each eyeball would have its own little monocle. And just to make Alexx happy, since we've already got the monocle we might as well add a tiny top hat as well. But I'm going with healed eyes because that's way too much stuff to shoot out.
