Ever wonder how it feels to be hit by a pea-sized meteorite traveling 30,000 miles per hour? Now there's one person on earth who knows.

Gerrit is now being studied by scientists who believe he may soon begin to exhibit super-human powers. JK.

I don't need meteorites; I was born with enhanced abilities. (That's what the people in my secret group of teens with superpowers call it, 'cause superpowers is so cliche.)
That's awesome! (good thing it was small... he could have gotten really hurt.)

Remember that one post about Miss Porter's School and Tatum Bass. (the one where a girl is suing for being bullied by an "all girl torture squad")
There is a 6 pg Vanity Fair article on her. The July 2009 issue. I didn't have the chance to read it but i will.
i have always wanted superpowers... my favorite was shape shifting into different things and people... but still i love being a girl too. it definitely has it's advantages.
