My congratulations to President Obama

Some people I know in real life thought that I could never get the words "President Obama" past my lips. I told them, "Why not?".

Granted, I didn't vote for him because he holds views that I am totally opposed to, but he won the election, and because of that, he is technically now my boss because the Dept. of Superhuman Studies is a branch of the U.S. government.

President Obama.

See? I can say it.

I can honestly say that I wish him well and that I will pray that he leads this nation to better and better things. There are some of his views that I will oppose if they come up, of course, but if he needs my services as a superhero, I'll certainly come do what I can. I am professional enough to separate my duty as an American and my personal opinions of the man.

Give me some credit for professionalism! :-D

And because I know someone out there in particular is wondering this, then I'll say it here: I still want the day that I say "President Palin" to come to pass. Now that's a president I can support!

Q&A: Am I really a busty superhero chick?

I responded to the above question in a comment of a previous blog entry, but I thought I'd go ahead and address it here as well, since it's been asked before.

In order for you to get the kind of enjoyment out of my blog that I intend, you will have to engage a "suspension of disbelief" when reading it. If you have to question my authenticity, then you're probably better off moving on to another blog. I am only bringing up this issue here in case more questions like it come up. This is also to let you know that if other such comments come my way, I won't publish them - so please don't waste your time.

For the record, I am female, but I won't prove it. Either you accept it, or move on to another blog. This will be the only time I will address this, because I want you all to get back to enjoying this blog in the manner for which I intend. To try to disrupt the suspension of disbelief will only take away the enjoyment that I want others to get from this.

I hope this takes care of this matter. In any case, I won't address it again.

Spiderman/Obama book sells like hotcakes

How could I have missed this story about the Obama/Spiderman team-up? Where has my head been in recent days - in the clouds? :-O (that could literally be true, you know!)

Superhero registry!

Hehe! Check this out! It's a superhero registry! No, I'm not on it, in case you're wondering - but I might pass on this bit of info to the folks at the ol' Department of Superhuman Studies just in case any of them are legit. ;-)

MySpace or Facebook?

Over the weekend, I discussed with the boss whether I should have a MySpace page or a Facebook page. Yes, I could do both, but I want to concentrate on one for now and do the other later. My question is, which should I go with first?

Facebook, while more user-friendly than MySpace, looks to be kinda limited. MySpace, in the meantime, seems to allow for a lot of graphics as well as music in the background, but it looks less orderly than Facebook, as well as being less user-friendly. The boss can help me with Facebook, but he's not familiar with MySpace.

So should we go with what he knows (Facebook) just so that I will have some sort of page up on a social site, or should he try learning MySpace? What do you folks think?

Q&A: Funny question! Do I sleep?

A question posed to me made me laugh! Do I sleep? Do I *need* to sleep?

The answer: Yes! I'm not a perpetual motion machine who can go on and on and on like the Energizer Bunny! Granted, it takes me longer to tire out than the average human person, but I can tire out. This happens mainly when I'm taking on many supers at once - especially super strength ones, as they can take a beating and keep on going. And since the average super strength dude is stronger than the average super strength woman, it takes more on my part to finally bring them down (as well as some trickery and strategy)

After such a battle, I need rest. I also need to eat. A lot. A body like mine needs a lot of fuel to keep it powered up. My healing power is especially energy intensive. After a good nap, I'm good to go back into battle if necessary. And if the battle was especially vicious, then I need to sleep a few hours, which is sometimes not easy to do if I'm aching all over.

One last thing about my healing power: it's not like Marvel Comics' Wolverine's healing power, in which he heals instantaneously after even serious injuries. My power is a little slower than that, so if I have something like deep wounds or stress fractures in my bones, I feel it! That's why sometimes I have a difficult time going to sleep until my healing power has healed me enough where I can finally drift off to sleep. And believe me, I welcome the trip to Slumberland in such times!

In short, I am not invulnerable, and I do need to sleep just like anyone else.

So how many blog rolls am I on?

Okay gang, stand up and be counted! How many of you have me on your blog rolls? Let me know by using a comment, and provide a link to your blog in that comment so that I can create a blog roll of my own. It's the least I can do for the free publicity that you are giving me!

Happy New Year!

Just a quick note to wish you all a Happy New Year!

Boy, the past year went by fast!
