Last week I fried my computer by just touching it. I mean I really fried it. With fire, out of my fingers. That wasn't cool, but I did get a new computer out of the deal. 8)

The cool thing is, I can make fire out of my hands. I can juggle it and throw it at things, and yes they do catch fire. I found that out when I set a small grass fire. Oops.

The really wild thing is that I am not the only freak I know! Yesterday in PE, my best friend turned into Maria Sharapova while we were playing tennis. She wiped the court with me, of course. Sigh.

How long have you had this power?

Have you ever hurt anyone on accident with it?

Smoking is bad! Wow, a teenage girl who shoots fire.

Is there a trigger for this or is it completely random? Do you have to say something or do something or feel something?

Does your mom know? do any of the grown-ups know you're playing with fire?

What kind of circles do you run in at school? What kind of grades do you make? Does you fire-starting interfere with your social life?

How many other kids in your school have powers? Are you all freaks? What do others think of you?

What is going to stop you and your best friend from taking over the world? I mean besides terrorism.

And is it a coincidence that you and your best friend got powers at the same time? Did you run into any mutant Spiders?

Are you the only ones in the world who have abilities?

Are your abilities helping or hindering your love life?

This fire stuff is all new to me. I'm not sure what all I can do with it, but I know that I can juggle it from finger tip to finger tip. That's pretty fun. To make it start all I have to do think about sparks. It's kind of like I'm a big lighter and I have to flick it on. That's how my computer got fried. I was pissed at my friend Grace, and I hit the enter key. Zap!

I've never really hurt anyone with it. Or on purpose anyway. The zappy thing is kind of hard to control. I guess its like I am real staticky.

Hmm, Lets see. I am a pretty good student. Well, not bad anyway. I am pretty popular. I nearly beat out Hannah Everett last year for Homecoming queen and I was only a freshman.

Hmmm...last movie. I guess it was Dark Knight. It was kind of sad though since Heath Ledger is dead. I also liked the Saw movies, too. Ewww, but they had these impossible choices...

I guess I am worried about the firestarting. It's fun and I can see that it could be useful. But (shivver) what if I fry my Mom? What if I set a forest fire or burn my homework? What if someone finds out? Grace and David grew up like this, freaks I mean. I guess their whole families are freaks. They're not really talking to me about this a lot yet. Yeah, I know who are *they* to be shocked!

I hope they'll tell me more about them and their families. This is all so new and weird. It's nice to know that there are other freaks out there Now that they know, will they tell their parents? Should I tell my Mom? She thought Homecoming was extreme! She's so protective.

Now I have this fire-thing. I think it's much cooler than Homecoming Queen. Excerpt for, well fire is destructive. Oh well.

I think you are right about the smoking that really is not cool! But I gotta do something with this. I think I will google some careers in demolition or firework displays, that might be fun! Although maybe a firestarter around explosives is a bad idea. Wasn't there some guy who put out oil well fires with more fire?
