People like to talk to me. People I know tell me about their lives. People I don't know tell be about their lives.
I've had someone finish saying something to me, only to end with "wait... I just told you pretty much my entire life story, didn't I?"
Most people don't realise it.
That's awesome!
I forgot one about deja-vu. When I get it, it is linked to a past or future event and I can get bits of that event and know if it has happened or will happen. Once I had deja-vu linked to four different events! My deja-vu predicted monks in World of Warcraft 7 months before they were announced. Which is awesome because monks rock.
@BlueHairedMeerkat I already have an evil twin. He has the goatee too (so people can tell us apart). You could be an evil triplet, though.
I have the power to make people lose track of where I am in completely ordinary circumstances. Like, I'll be walking down the sidewalk with a friend, and they'll start gradually angling towards the side of the path that I'm walking in, so I'll switch to the other side of them where there's more space, and then they'll look around confused and be mildly surprised to find me standing next to them, as if I arrived there by teleportation. People I'm with seem to forget I'm there and always look in my direction last.
In high school I somehow became at least mildly liked by nearly every student and teacher that became aquainted with me. Even the people I myself disliked still behaved friendly towards me, despite some of them being total jerks to my actual friends. I think I just found some sort of niche where I could be kind of cool without being popular in any way. I was pretty studious and got good grades, but my learning disabilities kept me in college prep courses rather than honors or advanced placement, and I still couldn't keep up with the rest of the class in terms of work output despite my good grades. I was mild-mannered and well-behaved, but I had my own views and wasn't afraid to let teachers know it if I disagreed with a book's message or a unit's theme. I didn't really talk much, but occasionally I'd speak up if I thought of something clever or funny to say. And whenever we got a project assignment that allowed for any amount of creative freedom, I'd do everything in my artistic power to make it look or read as impressive and entertaining as possible. People tended to listen slightly more whenever I presented something. Basically, I accumulated respect from everyone without really realizing it. People didn't really pay attention to me most of the time, but whenever someone ended up interacting with me it was usually on a "friendly aquaintence" level.
Lastly, there's my green squid hat. The one in my avatar. It has its own power that activates when I wear it. For reasons that completely elude me, females of all ages suddenly become very interested in talking to me, sometimes actually wanting a picture. This one time I was just sitting in the subway when these two women( I'm bad at guessing ages, but they were somewhat older than I was, maybe late 20's?) sitting accross from me said they liked my hat and cheerfully had photos taken with me. I feel like this hat's powers could be really useful if I could just get better at talking to people I don't know...
I have been accused of happening to know someone everywhere I go.
I can cause my eyes to shake violently without moving my face. The common reactions are:
"Eww, gross!"
"Neat."
"I know someone else who can do that too!"
Hey, I can do that, too. At least, I could when I had my real eyes…
I don't have any lame superpowers
I'm just weird :D.
I have the power to know a lot of people and constantly run into them (in my hometown, of course), and not seeing a lot of classic movies everyone has seen. However, that movie power is slowly waning. Watching movies is my kryptonite.
I have this, especially for the geekier movies my friends watch all the time. Same with TV. Consequently I don't know any actors either, and the game of Name a Movie That Anna Has Seen is challenging enough to be fun even for people who know me well.
I have seen movies. I just haven't seen the movies that people would expect me to have seen.
My lame superpower?
I refuse to disclose my other powers.
It would have worked!
From personal experience, I am guessing that the staff shut down construction on this project before it was quite as tall as it could have been?
@Julia
Actually, this time, it did work (and the staff didn't notice). We have a mutual friend, however, who has fewer stacking powers but even more desire, when drinking, to stack things than Christopher, and that is a classic line of his.
Paul.
You needed more commas in that last sentence.
I'm just saying, we're still not close to our punctuation quota, even with my blatant overuse of exclamation points.
My lame superpower is the ability to keep rambling about a subject that everyone else has stopped talking about.
That's true! We'll *really*, I think, need to use, or at least type, a significant number of commas, exclamation point, periods, colons, asterisks, etc., in the coming weeks if we're to work through this office's supply; our montly pallet, or possibly large box, of various punctuations (which I'm sure is a real word) will arrive, punctually, on May's first day.

I can stomach watching evan shake his eyes.
