I can't think of a title

In which I say "so" a lot

This is exactly what I've been doing.

I am really bad at drawing furniture so I'm not drawing the guys who came to assemble my brand new super amazing bed that creek when I move or stab me in the back every night with springs that have broken free of their poorly made mattress casing.

I am going to give you the drawing that has been taking up most of my life these past couple days. It's actually an English assignment, but I took the art option so I wouldn't have to write another essay.

Here it is.
Image import quality is bad.

I am not an art student, and I'm not very proud of this image, it's out of my comfort zone and preferred style, but I've had to spend a lot of time on it today and every other day so I think it counts. This is what I did today. What you see isn't the real background, I'm still trying to fix the original one.

But anyways, if we're drawing a picture of what we did. This is what I've been doing for a really long time. The actual background has skeletons in it. I hate drawing skeletons and it is incomplete, I made a very light/not dark version of this for the post.

Time Out!

At first, this question seemed really easy - I would've opted for Sophie's answer of teleportation and time bending (particularly now that I'm spending a couple of hours driving every day now), and as mundane as it may sound, it would be nice to pop back home for a nice, warm lunch in between clients instead of a cold lunch with whatever I hurriedly packed that morning. Or if I've run out of forms at work, no problem! Pop to the office, grab what I need, pop back. (Can you tell that I'm about to leave for work) Particularly with the time-bending, this would make my life significantly easier.

Except that I already don't exercise enough, and I'm pretty sure I'd abuse teleportation so that I'd never have to walk anywhere, and I don't know if I could keep all of my timelines straight with time travel.

I was also thinking about an answer I've heard someone else give, which is the ability to 80's montage through anything, but I'm pretty sure I'd use that too much as well and end up inadvertently skipping a lot.  There are times where I'm not looking forward to learning something or doing something, but the process of doing it is often better than the end result, and I think skipping that would cheat myself out of the experience.

There's a video I watched recently on this subject (which is NSFW, so I'm not posting it here), the gist of which is that any single superpower probably isn't that great. Having only super strength or telekineses means you'll have lots of people asking you to help with things, "spidey-sense" without the agility to dodge a blow just looks like paranoia, and flying without either invulnerability (to not injure yourself upon landing and/or get hurt by other flying objects) or super speed (to get away from people that might attempt to hurt the only person in the world who can fly) might be tricky.

So, I realize this is a cop-out, but I'm going to go with the same thing that they ended up on: the Saved By the Bell time out. If you haven't seen this, or don't remember it, here's a reminder (the main character, the one who uses it, is the blonde guy):

This doesn't draw attention to you, and doesn't have the possibility of getting lazy (I'm not saying that's necessarily an issue for you guys, but it would be for me), things just always kind of.... go your way.

Space and time bending please!

I can’t remember what TV show it was but someone said they wanted to have ghost powers because it was like having three powers in, invisibility, flying and walking through walls. I thought that was really creative but I don’t think I’d want any of those powers. Invisibility is cool but I don’t think it’s really that useful, flying is cool too but it’s a bit Superman and I’m not sure I could pull it off, walking through walls would be good, I was going to say for robing banks or something but it depends if it’s just you or you and the objects you hold that can go through walls.

If we lived in a world where everyone had some form of superpower I’d quite like the power to use other people’s powers. Which I know is cheating but really everyone knows that Peter from Heroes was the best and a total bad ass.

I think that on a regular basis that I wish I could teleport. Like when I sleep in and am running late for college be able to teleport would be good because then wouldn’t need to worry about the long bus journey. Or when I’m really tired I could teleport home. It would be really useful if I had to carry heavy stuff. And I guess if was able to travel through space I’d also like to time travel. Time travel would be pretty cool but I’d only use it to witness important historical events. And also to buy as many 1950’s dress I can. A lot can go wrong with time travel but I think it could help me with handing work in on the deadline, I could do the same 10 minutes until it was finished.

Yeah, so basically I’d like the superpower to bend space and time.

I could be anything

I had never really thought much about what superpower I would like to have, so I've been thinking about it pretty hard the last few days.  There are so many options to choose from!  And they all have their own advantages and disadvantages.  I was having a really hard time deciding, but I was leaning slightly towards flying, and figured I'd go with that if I couldn't come up with anything better.  Then Sarah pointed out that with terrakenesis she could fly on a rock, and I figured that there had to be something else like that where I could fly but also get other sweet powers in with the deal.  I still wasn't coming up with anything, but then today I was sort of wishing I was a jellyfish (I always wish I was a jellyfish when I'm stressed out or upset or anything.  I don't know.  They just seems so chill, and they probably don't have too much to worry about, and it would be nice to float around in the ocean doing nothing for a while) and I realized that the best superpower would be transformation.

I could be anything!  I could change into a bird so that I could fly.  Any kind of bird.  I could be a swift or something so I could go really fast, or I could be a hummingbird so I could hover, or I could be a duck and just hang out at ponds all day.

If I needed to cross a body of water, I could be fish.  If I needed to get somewhere quickly, I could just turn into a cheetah.  If I was trying to see over a crowd, I could be a giraffe.

And when I was stressed out or upset, I could be a jellyfish.

I would be able to fly on a rock

Does anyone else have those ten-minute to half-hour fantasies every once in a while where you think, "If I had this power in that situation, I'd totally... (insert actions) And it would be awesome."? I do it in my more non-exciting classes. Meaning there are tons of cool superpowers I'd like to have. But not Spider-Man's.

I thought pyrokinesis would be cool, terrakinesis even more if I got plants with that. Electricity/lightning could be the most practical, my computer, iPod, phone and other gadgets wouldn't ever die because I could zap them and they'd continue to work. If I lost power at my house I could just zap everything into functionality again.

But I couldn't wear metal.

Or go out in the rain.

Or the beach.

Or on an airplane.

In the case I lost control of it.

Hydrokinesis I believe to be the most powerful on account of how many things contain water. People, animals, plants, other organisms, the air, the ground, rocks, a lot. It'd be cool, you could probably surf a wave over a cloud if you wanted without causing any mishap on the ground.

But honestly, I think I want terrakinesis with the ability to influence plant life as well. I could climb any tree. It would be awesome. Gardening would be a cinch too. It would certainly make walking long distances simple, I could fly around on a rock. If I fell from a high height I could bring some earth or trees closer to me to break the fall before I gain too much velocity or momentum. I wouldn't want to cause any earthquakes, I would never want or use a super power that strong. Terrakinesis doesn't seem all that practical but it seems sturdy, fun and not so dangerous to have as lightning.

(As I wrote this someone started to play the Captain Planet theme and I did not know how to feel)

I kind of stick to considering elemental superpowers, partly because I'm not original and partly because if you have control over something basic, you get an even wider range of influence when you apply it to different situations and items.

So that's the superpower I would have and the thought process that got me to it.

Out of curiosity, do any of you watch(ed) and/or like the show Heroes?
