Finally, a good Monday Meme

Monday Meme 20 : 2005-10-03 : Super Powers

1. If you could fly for a day, where would you go?

It depends on the speed.
Flying like a bird, I would just see the area around my town, see the river meander across the land.
Flying like a jet, I'd go somewhere warmer; or see Norway, as I've always wanted to.

2. If you could turn invisible for a day, what would you do with the power?

Aahhh, one of my oldest fantasies. Beyond the usual perverted, voyeuristic, stuff, and then the usual larcenous easy-money stuff, I don't know. The concept of invisibility is intriguing, check out the book, Memoir of an Invisible Man. It explores the drawbacks of being invisible (i.e. the food you eat ISN'T invisible. Yuck).

3. If you could teleport for a day, what adventures would you have?

I've been thinking, wishing, a lot recently about being able to visit old friends. Highschool and theatre friends from Mich. 'N' in B'more. My old highschool in Antwerp. An old friend in LA. Pretty mundane stuff, but more than I can conceive of doing normally.

4. If you could change your appearance like a chameleon for a day, how would you use the ability?

Hmmm. My first response was that I wouldn't. Then I began to consider all the things to do that would rely on eyewitness identification to thwart; Bank robberies, etc.

No, I probably wouldn't use this one.

5. If you could have any super power for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? Would you ever use your power for selfish reasons? Would you ever hurt anyone (either physically or emotionally) with it?

Ooohh. Any one power would be cool. Isn't that everyone's wish? To be more, or better, than they are? To be special in some way? (insert moral here)

The invisibility thing is tempting,
as is teleport,
as is telekinesis,
as is time-stop,
as is mind-reading.
They all are a two-edged sword. Like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, it would probably be used selfishly at first, until you get bored, then more altruisticly later on.

I was the 39th person to take this week's Monday Meme!

You know, anybody who reads this should feel free to add their own answers in a comment. To any of these quiz things. While I choose these things 'cause I find them interesting, and for you to get to know me and my thinking, this doesn't have to be a one-way thing, only for me to shout into the wind. Then again, if you want to remain anonymous, nevermind. I'm used to shouting into the wind. I'll post here regardless of any readers.
