random thoughts and strange musings, part two

For an explanation of the title, see previous post. Otherwise, on we go.

thought the first
Maybe the genetic susceptibility to brain lesions also causes abnormally strong desires for alternate realities (which I have), abnormal convictions that there are alternate realities (which I think I have), or abnormally strong desires for 'exceptional abilities' (which I definitely have). Or maybe I have brain lesions already and they're responsible for the abnormally strong feelings and convictions.

thought the first, part b
it would be nice if either the genetic susceptibility or the brain lesions actually caused 'exceptional abilities' to develop but given that demyelination is a degenerative process, it's highly unlikely

thought the second
A good story for a science-fiction or fantasy writer to create would be the person who had a strong sense, conviction or desire to be a person with superhuman abilities but the abilities never appeared. Basically the story of Peter Petrelli (Heroes) or Hiro (also Heroes) if their 'meant for something more' thoughts never happened. At all. How they learned to cope. Though that would be depressing, so maybe it's not a good story idea.

thought the third
Maybe I could be the first person for whom the genetic susceptibility for brain lesions (or actual brain lesions, if that's the case) had positive results. Maybe not exceptional abilities, or superhuman powers, but increased resistance to pain, or higher intelligence. Like that John Travolta movie, Phenomenon.

thought the fourth
Must find out if there is a multiple sclerosis study I could join that tracks the genetic causality of the disease. Our familiy must be an interesting case, given a parent in which the disease did not manifest until early 70s and, of two female children and one male, disease manifestation occurred in the male sibling (women are more likely than men to develop MS).
