Up up and away!

Rachel answered my plea for help and asked me a question too. This one didn't require as much thought for me, but it was still fun to answer.

If you could have any one super power, what would it be and why?

In the past when I've answered this question, I've always said the ability to fly. I just like the idea of the freedom that would give me. Being asked and having to write about it though, I sat down and gave it some more thought.

Being invisible? No, being invisible would still leave me solid, and I'm too clumsy to not get discovered when I invisibly bang into walls and knock over things.

Being able to read minds? No way. I have enough nonsense running around in my head without putting other people's nonsense in there too. Besides, I can only think of the Buffy episode where Buffy can read minds, and she almost goes insane.

Telekinesis. Now here's a power that my lazy arse could get behind. Not having to get up off the couch to grab a soda, or the remote, I could open the door for the pizza guy and Theresa and I wouldn't have to rock, paper, scissors to see who has to get up. But, when you get right down to it, I don't get much exercise, so getting my bum off the couch is probably good for me.

I gave some strong thought to mimicry, to be able to absorb the superpowers of others, but seeing as no one I know has any powers I know about, there wouldn't be much use to that power.

My mind moved on here to the powers of the X-men. Accelerated healing, controlling the weather, those would be some handy tricks. I'd have the best sunset ever for my wedding... But I just don't think I could live up to the high standards set by Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry.

I briefly reconsidered flying, but then, out of nowhere, it hit me. My superpower would be teleportation. Talk about useful. To work and home in the blink of an eye. Forgot your lunch? Not a problem. Traffic sucks? Who cares, blink. Late for a cake-tasting appointment? Blink. Need to visit the captain in Sioux Falls? Blink. Blink. Blink. Blink. Blink.

Teleportation. That's what I want to do when I grow up.

And now I'm out of questions, feel free to ask me more, I loved answering these, seriously. I don't promise to answer any question, but send me an email, I love it.

My vote today is immortaility

I don't think I'd want to be immortal. In fact, I'm kind of selfish and I'd like to die before those I care about so I don't have to say goodbye. I can't imaging building relationships and watching them end for all eternity.

Toni said...

I have yet to think of a good question.

Sarah said...
