Superpowers

If I could have any superpower I want I would like to be able to flap my wings and fly like a bird. I often dream this, that I am able to just flap my wings and take off. Often I fly really high up, but for some reason I have to flap my arms really hard in order to get up and actually stay up. In these dreams I'm often running from some assailant, and flying is my way of escaping. Wouldn't it be cool to really be able to fly. It must entail such a sense of freedom. In the dreams it's a mixed feeling because I'm often afraid of the height when I get really high up there but at the same time it is so empowering.

Another super power that would be empowering is being able to move objects with your mind - telekinesis. I've been watching "Charmed" from the beginning lately, only the first few seasons though since I think it jumped the shark when Prue died. I don't normally go for these types of shows but there's something so fascinating about superpowers, particularly when it involves females having them. I can just imagine having telekinesis and being attacked by some asshole while walking alone outside at night, and surprising him by throwing him on his ass 50 feet. If I had the ability to move objects with my mind I'd walk the streets late at night hoping to get attacked just so I could dropkick my assailants. It would be my pleasure to rid the streets of raping vermin. How cool it would be if all of us women could have this superpower, so that we women could walk around like free human beings and not have to feel afraid to go out by ourselves at night.

Oh well, in the absence of superpowers I guess we'll have to settle for martial arts.
