PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

Summer is just around the corner. It's getting hot already. my powers aren't agreeing with it. Everything keeps clinging to me. I know my name's Static, but this is ridiculous. Times like this I almost wish I could swim. Or surf. Surfing looks fun.

Am I the only one here with a pain in the ass boss? I got an earful today because I looked too friendly. How do you look TOO friendly, exactly? I mean, he gives me hell for looking too UNfriendly half the time, and then I come in today and actually try to do the alternate thing and I'm suddenly a sex predator? Yes, that's right, I was dubbed as a sex predator in front of everyone at work. Guy is such a dick.

I think I'm gonna drink it off. Anyone got any interesting drink recommendations?

...Would either of you be opposed to me rewiring the Bradbury building into a giant mp3 player? I'm so bored, I think I actually miss school

I have no energy lately...all I've wanted to do since I got here is sleep. I don't know why. I know that it won't help anything, though .. I can't seem to focus of anything.

L.A. fun fact:

Los Angeles has the largest number of women-owned businesses in the nation.

Isn't that interesting?

And another:

Los Angeles has more than 80 stage theaters and 300 museums, more than any other U.S. city.

Over 80 stage theaters and I can't get a job. Somehow? I feel oddly accomplished.

So there really is no way to get back home is there. I can't believe this is for real.

I guess I'd better get comfy then. Here's an important question: any good comic shops around? I think I'm going through withdraw. You guys still do read comics here right? Guess it's a good thing I didn't have time to spend my allowance before all this happened. Comics are essential.

I can't believe I'm even saying this but I actually sorta miss my sisters "cooking". If you can call it cooking. Most of her food looked fresh enough to get off the plate and start crawling away. But with a little "heat" it tasted almost like food at least compare to these t.v. dinner things I've been eating all last week.

...If she ever shows up here and someone tells her that? I'll deny it. I'll deny it forever.

So...can I see the bat cave or the...watch tower? or do we have meetings?..or something?

I think I need a job.

I wonder if pops and Sharon are alright..What happens to the people you leave behind when you get pulled by the ptb?

Sharon's probably happy I'm not there. She won't have to screech at me to do my chores or get up for school in the morning anymore.

We have a new recruit. His name’s Virgil Hawkins. Codename is Static Shock. Be nice. That means you too, Terry.

[Private to Barbara]
I'll bring him over soon. You can look him over... Or whatever it is you need to do with our newest teenage member.

That was the weirdest thing. Ever. I'm going to have nightmares now of the bus driver trying to serenade me. And I thought Dakota City was weird. We had out share of problems, but I've never seen anything like this. The bang babies never randomly burst into spontaneous song and dance.

Anything else I should know? Does everyone secretly have their own theme song now?

I've been thinking about this "war". I wanna help. I mean, play for team good guy. I don't really know much about this city yet, but I want to make a difference no matter where I am.

Ladies and Gentlemen, May I have your attention please? Do you wake every morning in shame and despair to discover you're alone with no partner there? Life's just so unfair. Well, ladies and gentlemen, from now on you can waken at ease! You need never again have a worry or care, I will show you a specimen of male quite rare!

Gentlemen, you are about to see someone who might soon be dead...

...inside of my head!

Come one, come all to Zatanna Zatara's first come first serve All American Man Auction!

On the block today: One tall, dark, and handsome mortal male plucked straight from the recesses of a genuine Los Angeles dive! He likes: vodka, jukeboxes, lame pick up lines, Santana, singing Black Magic Woman to random women in bars who very obviously aren't interested, attempting to get them to dance with them Okay, I might have danced back, but completely against my will, and then grabbing their asses when they refuse.

He dislikes [and these are just my guesses from his reactions!]: Spikes, komodo dragons, blindfolds, and hanging upside down over lizards by his big toes, so ladies and gentlemen if you're into bondage? This is not the gentleman for you!

Biding starts at ten dollars! Help rescue make this fellow's night!





Hey, men of Los Angeles? Stop grabbing my ass.

[ooc: *coughs innocently*]

Phantom limb is the feeling that an amputated limb or organ is still attached to the body and can move along with other body parts. Phantom pain is different and occurs usually in those born without limbs or who've been paralysed. Both are caused by neurological cross wiring in the somatosensory cortex and can be treated with antidepressants, but that can be risky and really has to be on a candidate to candidate basis.

It's an odd sensation.

Aw man, where am I? Pops is gonna kill me if I'm not home by dinner. At least I escaped another one of Sharon's so called "meals". I tried calling them, but it's weird, the lines don't work. This is whack. Even the shock boxes are nothing but static..ha, pun not intended not that anyone will get that but me..Don't tell me I went back in time again? Don't really want the instant replay...well Toto, it doesn't look like I'm in Dakota City anymore.
