First off, my deepest apologies for slacking on my blog duties. It’s truly unforgivable that I kept y’all in suspense for 5 days.

I have a good reason. I promise.

At first, I thought it was just a blog-funk. One of my favorite blogs hadn’t been updated in a couple of days, and it made me blue. It was tough to work through that disappointment. But they started posting again at the beginning of the week…and I felt better.

But still, I didn’t blog.

You’ll have to forgive me. I finally know what kept me from blogging. I made this discovery on Tuesday–it’s something I think I’ve known all along–but I didn’t really put the pieces together until the other day.

I’m a super hero.

It’s true. For those of you who watch Heroes…I must be on the list.

The problem is, I haven’t been able to focus my super power yet. But now that I’m aware of my power, it’s only a matter of time.

You see, I’m electric. I have the ability to shock anything and everything all year around. It makes for a very tenuous and difficult time when it comes to kissing or opening doors.

How do I focus my power and use it for good?

Do I really want to use it for good? Evil seems like it would just be more fun.

What should my way cool real super hero name be? Mel just doesn’t sound right. I could go with Melectric, I suppose. And can my superhero costume be pink? Do I have to wear leotards? I have cellulite, that wouldn’t be pretty. But I’m all about the cape.

Hmmm. I like knowing I’m a superhero. But as Peter Parker’s uncle told him “With great power comes great responsiblity.” I just like the “great power” part of the sentence. I think I’ll tweak it to apply it to me. “With great power comes great fun. Enjoy.”

Now I have to hone my evil laughing skills.

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha

I’m so gonna be a bad girl.
