First Post?

At the behest of my girlfriend  significant other   whatever she wants me to call her, I have decided to create a blog!

Well, I don't feel any different so far.  So!  I asked my mentor, Alexa, if she had any advice on how to not make my blog as boring as shit!  She, oh-so-insightfully replied, "Don't be boring as shit."  Sound advice!  So, I suppose this would be a good time for introductions.  My name is Will.  I am a senior in high school, and a nerd.  Or is it nerd-y?  No matter.  Point being, I love the internet.  I love playing games online with other people, none of which I am particularly good at.  I love browsing internet sites for humorous pictures.  I even love doing work if it means I can balance it off with breaks of internet time, or perhaps breaks of work from internet time.  Still with me?  Good.

At the risk of sounding like an ADD-riddled MONGREL, I suppose this would be as good of a time as any to discuss a pen-and-paper game I plan to play with my friends in the near future.  We meet up every other week or so to play tabletop RPGs like Call of Cthulhu and Dark Heresy.  Admittedly, none of us are particularly experienced in this field.  Anyway, Steve, a friend of mine who has quite the penchant for all things technological, is running a game of Mutants and Masterminds.  For the uninitiated, it's somewhere between Dungeons and Dragons and 90's Superhero Cartoons.  As such, it has been decided that this game will be a non-lethal campaign, meaning that there are punishments for using excess of force or killing the villains.

This puts me in a bind, as most of my more...*cough* creative super powers are low-key powers turned up to 11 in ways that are extremely deadly.  Admittedly, my two best ideas were lifted from a Manga called be - Mudah (WRYYYYYY) .  Yeah.  Can you see why that may not be considered "non-lethal"?  My current best idea for a superhero power is something Alexa calls the "ctrl+f" power.  Simple enough, right?  Just be able to find whatever you want.  Completely non-lethal on its own, and has immense utility.  I like it.  SO!  If you happen to have stumbled upon my blog and have slogged through this IMPENETRABLE FORTRESS OF TEXT, I'd love to hear any comments, questions, or suggestions in the comment box.
