Blurred Vision+Nerves=Not so good drive home.

For this adventure you need a little background.
I have a need for corrective lenses. I'm a nervous, uptight, jumpy person.

I've had glasses/contacts for a long time. About 11 years. I wear them periodically. I need them to see objects far away. (Yeah, I know what you're thinking..."and you call yourself a superhero.") But my little eyes go through spurts of needing/not needing corrective lenses. As of late, I've been in the need spurt. I wear my glasses mostly while driving (and in class every now and again). You know how some people have driving gloves? (Which having a pair is a small life dream of mine.) I have driving glasses. I keep my glasses in my car so then I can just slip them on, slip them off.

Tonight, I was on my way home from Forks. While driving down the interstate it starts raining, hard. Immediately I grab the wheel a little tighter, my body tenses up, and I become a ball of nerves. I don't know why this happens. Partly because I don't like not having complete control. Yucky weather makes for yucky surprises if you're not careful. Like the time I rolled and totaled my Blazer when I hit black ice. I like prime conditions in situations. Anything that deviates makes for a very uptight Kayt until control can be regained. But, back to the rain. The windshield is covered and I turn on my wipers. They're doing their job, I think...But, maybe not because I can't see any better than before. So, I flip the switch off, and turn them back on. I'm trying to watch for the wipers and make sure they go back and forth. But really folks, this is a hard task. I'm going 65 mph in a one lane construction zone trying to keep up with the car in front of me and not get squished by the truck behind me. I'm space constricted, I'm nervous, and I have no intention of hitting the orange cones or the on-coming traffic. Then I think, "Wait, do I have on my driving glasses?" Well, yes, yes I do. So why can I not see?! I then again flick the wiper switch to full blast and bam, there they go, back and forth, back and forth. But wait, I'm not supposed to be watching them! The road, the road! But I can't see the road! It all comes down to this: I need new wiper blades. Lesson learned. So, let's take into account my physical status at this point in time. I'm tense, I'm achy, I'm sweating, and I'm blind (not literally). I spend the next 35 miles driving by the light reflecting off the white line and bobbing my head to and fro trying to find the clearest spot. Turns out it's on the passenger side. Isn't that how it always goes? I make it home all in one piece. I pry my hands loose from the steering wheel, I take a minute to "relax" so I can get out of my car, then I go on my merry little way. Once home, I added to my check list-wiper blades-Until I get new ones, I'm not driving in the rain. I'll walk, thank you. I'd rather look like a drowned cat than be as miserable as I was on that drive home.

Dear All,
It was unkind and unethical of me, an everyday superhero, to post the story that was originally in this section. If you read the story then you are lucky (it was a good story). If you missed out, I'm sorry. If you so happened to be a lucky reader, I can only ask of you to try out your superhero ethics and try not share the story with too many people. I'm new at this superhero thing, I have some glitches to work out. Mostly, my code of ethics needs so fine tuning (and the fact that I don't have any powers). Therefore meaning no more stories involving work related matters will be posted. Sad, so sad. I have a feeling they would have been the best ones.

Moving on to being a better person so I can be a better superhero!


Well, there you have it. The very first adventure

The characteristics of a real life superhero, or lack thereof.

So lets get serious and learn a bit about me.
My superhero self:
-I usually make no hard plans.
-I'm a homebody.
-When I go out, I'm the wallflower. I like it that way.
-People watching is one of my favorite activities.
-I live day by day. When I go to bed at the end of the day, I don't look back on the things I should have done different, I've done them already. The only thing I can do is try to make tomorrow different and better. (It's a good theory, but it's hard to live by all the time. I mean really, who is THAT care free. I like to pretend I am.)
-I LOVE cheese. Probably more than humanly healthy.
-I like to drink, alcohol.
-I'm a terrible, terrible, terrible cook. I rather starve than try to make a completely edible meal. But, every meal I make I do end up eating (for the most part). Some of them are so nasty I can't choke down more than a few bites. My two "no-fail" meals are Ramen Noodles and Spaghettios. You think I'm kidding, I'm not.
-If my cooking fails, I mix a drink. If my cooking succeeds, I mix a drink.
-I can't sing and I can't dance. But when I'm by myself, I'm a freaking ROCK STAR!
-I've been called a lush, multiple times by multiple people. It's fitting.
-I don't eat chicken. Period.
-I love old movies and television shows. Old as in black and white.
-I have dance parties on my designated "dance floor."
-I have a love for musicals.
-I'm allergic to caffeine.
-I like watching movies.
-I enjoy spending the day in my sweats on the couch.
-I plan my social life around two shows on Saturday night television: Comedy Central "Stand Up Match Up" and "SNL."

This is the superhero you have found, hope you weren't expecting much.
