Eddy Vega has been known to copy attacks of his rivals. Additionally, he is able to become immovable and he is able to make duplicates of himself. Eddy Vega developed the talent to transform his body into dust and he can sculpt and mold all steel with a thought. Also, he has mastered the ability to create plastic out of thin air and he has learned to absorb the damage from heat and use it to increase his sense of hearing. Eddy Vega has the power to tunnel through solid gold. Terribly, Eddy Vega is especially vulnerable to adamantium-based attacks.

Does this mean I can both kill and be killed easily in a bout with Wolverine?

Teneeka has mastered the ability to deflect ice blasts. Additionally, she resists adversaries using a poisonous longbow that also grants an amazing flexibility, however doing so makes her extremely smelly for one hour. Teneeka has been known to teleport through walls and she has learned to copy all powers of her rivals. Lamentably, Teneeka Mai becomes powerless in the presence of cloth.

This is the best. Except… to use my powers I have to be naked???

You know, that thing you do with a pen and paper to write words that doesn’t involve a keyboard or screen?

I realise that with the growing use of computers, laptops and even mobiles that people are doing this less and less. But for me, I absolutely love writing things out by hand. Of course, typing is much quicker but there’s just something about the act of putting pen to paper and watching each letter form that makes it… well awesome. I guess it just gives me the time I need to think about what I’m writing rather than just hammering away at the keyboard once I have a vague idea. That’s extremely useful to me especially when I’m writing creatively or have no idea what I’m doing.

I mean, even today I was meant to write a letter of application to a writing competition but as soon as I tried to write it on the computer my mind went blank and it just ended up sounding… wrong. I had been trying to write this all weekend but it was only just now that I decided to try it by hand. As soon as I did I found it so much easier and, even though I made mistakes and had to cross it out, I found that it looked better to me anyway. Perhaps it’s because I’d already redrafted it on the computer so many times, but I don’t think it was just that. Yes, I already had the ideas down, I knew what I wanted to say, but that doesn’t mean I was able to do it eloquently. Well, not on the computer anyway.

Of course, there are times when writing on the computer works out perfectly well for me. (There are some pieces I really like that I’ve just typed out on the computer, even this post.) And the sound of the tapping on the keyboard really does make me feel productive and like I’m being all business-y and doing work but so does the feeling of starting a brand new page and writing that first word on it. Sometimes, I even like the fact that you can’t just press backspace and delete all your work. The only way you can do that with paper and pen is to cross it out. It leaves a mark. It shows where you’ve changed you mind, where you’ve made it better.

Besides. A notebook is so much easier to carry around than a laptop.

Just set up a new origami blog so all of my origami posts will be on there from now on. I’ll also be moving over my old posts for a while with (hopefully) some new content every so often!

See you there! :)

Casual reblog~
