FFA #19: "I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane. I'm more than some pretty face beside a train.."

"If you could have ANY super power (either good or evil) what would it be?"

So as I thought about this (and I thought about it quite a bit!) I realized what super power I would like.
I've decided I need Samantha-esque powers. To be able to twitch my nose and get ANYTHING I want. To travel through time (I would zip right past the first trimester!), to teleport anywhere I wanted to go (Strasbourg at Christmastime, or just to Paris for pain au chocolat...New York for a weekend...no lines, no high-priced gas, no customs...) With one nose-twitch, all the boxes that surround me would be magically unpacked and their contents in a proper place. I wouldn't lose sleep about how to decorate because a mere finger snap would do it (and maybe add a few lovely paintings, as well!) How great would that be? I have to say, I am not a patient girl. I need relatively instant gratification, a lesson I'm sure I was sent here to learn (although being as stubborn as I am, I clearly have not as of yet!) Nothing would make me happier than to no longer have to shave my legs, do my hair, clean my house...PLUS, I could use my power to curse others, if necessary. (And you KNOW it would be necessary!) I could make stupid people mute, I could fix out-of-date hairstyles, I could influence people who take engagement pictures and think it'd be cute to tree themselves and get a "great ring shot." What a wonderful world it would be. Is it wrong to pray for these kinds of powers to A. Exist and B. Come to me?
I thought so.

As I often tell Shane, you are not allowed super powers if you would use them to do "evil", which obviously you would to some extent. So no powers for you. Though that also explains why I don't have any. CRAP!!

I'm considering forgiving you for stealing my idea, if you promise to not use your powers against me. You also have to promise me that if my hair ever looks crappy, you'll fix it with your little blinking powers.

Disqualified! You can't choose witchcraft as a super power! Being an all powerful witch is another fantasy entirely!

Not that I'm saying it wouldn't be nice....

Strasbourg at Christmas would be great as long as I get to come with you since I was there the first time around and I am glad that you are still an engagement picture critic.
