Superpowers

What if you were given a choice? What superpower would you choose?
Let's eliminate some of the obvious ones, and no, you can't choose "world peace" or "end hunger" because those aren't real superpowers.

Invisibility - good to have, but has it's limits. How could you really prove it? No one would see you!

Super Strength - again, could be fun, but then you give your mom a hug and crush her to death - not so fun, hero.

See into the future - not sure if this qualifies as a superpower, but if it were, I don't think you'd really want it. With all the good things you would see, you wouldn't be able to avoid the negative, thus compelling you to help that loved one trapped under a car or tree. Then you'd wish you'd chosen super strength.

Read Minds - Really. Do you want know what she's truly thinking about you? Now you want the invisible power!

Dimension jumping - I don't know how to word that one, but it's basically being able to disappear and then appear anywhere in the world, sort of like the movie "Jumper", although I haven't seen it. Ummm, that is one to consider. But that brings me to the one I would choose...

Flying - Can't think of any downside to this, unless you 1) hate flying, 2) afraid of heights. How many times have you wished for the freedom a bird has, the feeling of soaring high above the clouds! Or, avoiding gridlock in the morning, saving on the high cost of fuel, airline tickets, security. Yup, this one would be very, very cool.

What would your superpower be?

"Makeover in a snap!"
I'd snap my fingers, and be;
*fully blow dried and styled
*exfoliated and moisturized head to toe, with no unsightly body hair
*perfumed
*make up application perfect
*up to date brand new outfit on

Yeah, baby...that is the power. Grrrl power! Right Lis?
