After I posted on Friday, my neutrinos started FLYING.
Well, I call them my neutrinos. I don't know what they are. All I know is that sometimes I make lights go out. I've started paying attention when it happens, and the energy that I'm feeling when it happens. Usually I'm really, really fired up or riled up about something.
Generally, I notice it when I am walking down the street. I'll walk under a streetlight and it will fritz out as I pass beneath it. I've been with friends who notice the light go out, pause and look up, mystified.
"Oh," I've learned to say breezily, "that's just me. I did that."
Sometimes I'll reach out to flip a light switch and the bulbs in the fixture or lamp will explode with a blue ozone flash.
Friday, I got riled up about something at work -- a perceived kick in the stomach/stab in the back. Granted, I got myself worked up before I knew the full story, but at the moment, I was sitting at my desk, seeeeeething with ire.
Suddenly, the spotlight in the overhead light fixture BLEW out with that same blue flash and a sizzle. At the exact moment, the task light, which was firmly attached to the bookkeeper's desk behind mine, seemed to detach itself from the desk and hurl itself to the floor with a clatter.
In all of the hubbub that followed -- everyone in the office coming over to investigate, standing around saying, "What the hell just happened?" -- I didn't initially realize what I had done. Then the realization came over me.
"Sorry, guys," I said sheepishly. "I think I did that." Then I had to explain about this mild kinesis I seem to possess.
My boss was blown away and kind of halfway skeptical and halfway believing.
"We have to learn how to harness that!" he said.
I wonder if it's my own version of malocchio, only re-directed to inanimate objects. It only makes sense we can do this. Our bodies are nothing more than meat, water and electrical impulses, after all. Why shouldn't our electricity sometimes spiral out of control? It's as if I sometimes don't have a lightning rod that everyone else has...
Does anyone know of someone I can consult about this? How can I focus it? I don't want to be FireStarter or anything ("Charlie! Point it at the water!").

I've never made anything move, but I've made lights go out. It usually happens when I'm walking under street lights outside, but recently I've noticed it happening when I'm driving too. This happens about 3 times a week. And after I have walked under it/driven by it, they come back one. Does it happen to everyone? And if it is a light that I walk under a lot (for example lights in front of a couple of apartment buildings I lived in), they end up breaking.
Happened again this past Friday -- I walked into the Skechers store in Times Square and all the overhead lights at the front of the store went out. As I moved further in, more lights went out.
The display lights along the sides stayed lit, which leads me to the unscientific conclusion that whatever is coming out of me is vented from the top of my head.
