I have super fast reaction times in situations where it is often unwarranted. I can be across the room in an instant at the slightest sound of unnatural movement by my kids, only to find nothing out of the ordinary when i got there...but i was there fast...just in case.
Though there have been times where my ninja reflexes have come in handy, like the time i caught a full gallon of milk as it fell out of the fridge. That resulted in a dislocated thumb, but i had saved my family from certain doom from having to clean up a gallon of milk.

I have the ability to make traffic lights turn red the moment my car enters their line of vision. This power seems to be more effective when I'm at my most impatient or late.
I also possess the ability to find the broken ATM - this only works when I actually need money. Oh, and I can make street lights go out by just driving past them.

At work:
With no outside stimulus whatsoever, I can inflate my ego to galactic proportions. I can make everyone in the room think that all the good things that happened were the result of all my hard work when I didn't lift a finger. I can magically attract new revenue streams that no one else even thought existsed. At home: I can play the purple blanket game with Max. No one else can. Granted, I don't understand it, but apparently I play it better than anyone else.

I have supersonic hearing. Those bloody things on the roof that squeal at a pitch that humans are not supposed to hear, yea, I can hear them. The sounds of chains clanking together makes me cover my ears and run due to the pain. The sound of a crinkling plastic shopping bag (not all of them, just the ones that are not stretchy, the really crappy shopping bags) hurts my ears so bad I cant wait for it to stop.
On the plus side I can always hear someone coming, I can be in the basement and hear if someones phone in the upstairs received a message, I can hear anyone in the house saying pretty much anything if I concentrate or if they are talking about me. It is a curse as much as it is a blessing. I can also tell time fairly accurately using no time telling devices. |

i know that school of parallel parking, abaya.
it's from philly, where parking is a contact sport. and when i'm driving, i'm a devotee of that style. o i know, other people say that i could just park further away from the Destination, you wont have to squeeze into a spot 3 inches on either side longer than the car is, you wont have to do that pinball thing back and forth bump bump bump...but there are rules and the main rule is park as close as possible to the Destination. adhering rigidly to this rule makes you a parking commando. every day a new adventure. having adventures is my other superpower.

Oicha!
I can stupefy you in 90 seconds. I can never get stuffed and too full to eat one(and then) more food. I can escape reality. I can liken the uncanny into something more than coincidence and create a new state akin to premonition. I can discover treasure most anywhere I seek to find it. I can transcend existence. I can make you laugh.

I can tell when women are menstruating by body language/scent/weird mojo (not sure which - I just KNOW).
A parallel to this is that I can tell when women are pregnant if i spend more than a few minutes with her. I've been known to do this before the woman knew she was pregnant for sure. I also know what perfume will sit well on a woman, and what will smell like cat piss, based on some unconscious feeling. I've managed in the past to comment "Oh, you should try such and such" only to find it's the only scent that they like. I have no idea how this works.

I can always open a book open to the start of a chapter. I can name the chapter out loud and open the book and be there.
Nothing comes out when I sneeze. I have no knuckles on my pinky and ring fingers on either hand. (I'm hoping something Wolveriney will happen). I've never lost on proline (a legal sports gambling system in Atlantic Canada. I've probably won over 100 times. I don't play very often though).

I can and do inadvertently say the MOST sexually-innuendo-laced things without even trying--to me, it's a completely innocent answer/remark. And suddenly everyone around me is howling with laughter or sputtering.
And I laugh along, having no idea why everyone is reacting, until I repeat in my mind 2-3 times what I just said... Good example: Was talking with guy friend who was teasing me about how women have to use the facilities so much more often than guys. He was including me in this group (obviously). In exasperation, I respond (rather loudly, of COURSE), "Why you criticize my pee-ness?!?" Conversation stops, while I ponder in my head, "Pee-ness. Pee-ness. That sounds like a word already...OH GEES."

1) smoke will always find me. it doesn´t matter how many people are around or what i´m doing, smoke will ALWAYS find me. my friends have commented on this multiple times.
2) i have the ability (probably helps how much i´ve driven) to read EXACTLY what traffic is doing and slice through it like a knife through butter. the boy racer may zoom past me at 3x the speed limit but after the next traffic lights i´ll be 4 cars in front. this has caused a few scenes.... 3) i have the power to move you.
