Practical Superpowers
Aug. 1st, 2004 09:31 pm-Being a huge comic book geek, I have occasionally speculated about which powers I'd most like to have. Wolverine claws, Superman invulnerability, or, as Chandler sez, flight and invisibility.
-However, day to day, I find the power I most often wish for is the ability to heal. To make my friends healthier. To fix their back, to correct their vision, to take away their pain. It always frustrates me, that I can't help them in that way.
(Okay, I also sometimes wish for the power to give good relationship advice, and for X-ray vision. Though I suspect the latter wouldn't be all that appealing. Boobs in a bra that has merely been made invisible are probably kinda squashed-looking.)
-Meanwhile, in the state-of-the-Jon, I'm feeling better emotionally, but I think those chicken fingers had MSG in 'em, which means this headache is gonna linger. Still, I appear to be enduring.
