[Public] Journal Entry: Eileen Harsaw

[om_phantazia]

So. They tell me this is a thing you do on your first day of mutant school.

Mutant school. Isn't that a kick in the ass? I'll spare you the sob-story, but this is a lot more normalcy than I expected in my life after I found out what I could do. Even with the flying kids and the telepaths. Still kind of in shock.

Yup. It's the lack of crazy I find most disorienting.

As for what I do, well, imagine the world and everything in it as interacting waves--light waves, radio waves, microwaves, the electromagnetic fields of all our appliances and gadgets and crap, and the tiny bio-electric pulses of nerves and muscles. That's kind of what I see all the time, except I don't really see it. I'm just ... aware of it in a way that I can't explain without resorting to lame metaphors. And I can control it, too.

So, yeah, if your ringtone pisses me off, you can pretty much kiss it, your cell, and maybe your ability to walk a straight line for a few hours (depending on how bad it is) goodbye.

Nice to meet you. I'm Eileen.

Ohioans don't surf. Frankly, most of us haven't bought into your fancy "round Earth" theory yet, either.

Welcome to the East Coast! There's this fancy ocean thing right over there.

Not great waves, I grant you, but they do exist.

First I'll try to get used to bodies of water that don't catch on fire sometimes. Then maybe move on to aquatic sports from there.

Don't worry, next we set fire to the rain.
