If you were a super hero, what would your super power and name be? Gosh I am way to nerdy, because this question is the hardest for me to answer! I feel like I would become a super hero by accidentally tripping into a carton of chemical wastes. But what if I came out looking all crazy with no super powers? So not cool!! I mean what else are cartons of harmful chemical wastes for?! Anyway, I would have to say I would want similar super powers to Green Lantern, because on my days of from super hero business I could have my ring make a hammock and I could just be chilling. Best Power Ever.

Secret talent...You have to promise not to tell anybody! Because its kinda weird but... I love to beatbox! Usually it happens on my way to class when nobody is around, or in certain hallways that tend to echo. It gets really bad when I have my headphones on and I can't hear a person walking past me. Their expressions are usually quite priceless. I think i'm getting better though, because I got a thumbs up from someone the other day ;)
An artist that no one would believe I have on my ipod...Oh where to start! I seriously could probably start writing a blog on music! But here we go!
