Am I not alone

Am  I not alone?

I’m asking because something really weird happened yesterday.  This girl, I thought she was just a reader of my blog, but yesterday, she dropped me an IM that said she’d put up her own blog.  I checked it out, and guess what?  She says she’s getting superpowers.  If you don’t believe me, look over to the left under links and check out Risatara.

She seems nice enough, but I’m not really sure what I think about this development.  On the one hand, I kind of like the idea of there being someone out there that I have stuff in common with.  But on the other hand, I’m not sure I’d wish my life on anyone.  And I’m really not sure I’d wish anyone else to have powers like mine, purely as a matter of safety for everyone else.

I’ve screwed up and hurt people before, even killed them.  And I don’t even want to think about the property damage I’ve caused just by accident.  I’ve also hurt my parents.. my dad’s back is never going to be the same again, and that I did when I was just a kid.  It’d be pretty easy for a girl like me to make a real mess of things, and honestly, I spend a whole lot of energy just making sure I don’t.  I just hope, if this Risatara chick isn’t just pulling some sort of hoax, that she’s not a real bitch and has a decent head on her shoulders.  If not, you guys had better watch out.  Not that it would do you much good.

Of course, there’s some stuff there that I find really interesting. She got a telegram?  Now that’s interesting because nobody ever sent me a nice little note like that.  Of course, I was always different, even as a kid.  The pediatrician couldn’t draw my blood as a baby.  I bet he could have though, back then if he’d tried harder, but now.. I doubt it.  My powers seemed to like skyrocket around puberty, and what was merely a little different suddenly became way over the top.  This Risatara chick seems to be coming into hers awfully suddenly.  I hope she’s careful, because its really easy to hurt people.
