An Indepth Look Into A Geek's Soul

So I was on the way home tonight, randomly thinking of X-Men and it got me wondering what mutant power I would love to have.  And I'm talking just one.  No Xavier, no Wolverine, no someone who can do a billion different things.  Just one single power.  I think the power I would choose to have would be telepathy.  I think it would super awesome to be able to read people's minds without them knowing about it.  Just think of the implications.  I could be the worlds greatest spy, and no one could stop me.  Heck, they wouldn't even know that it is me.  I would have so much demand for my skills that I wouldn't have to worry about working every again.  Of course, I'm sure I could use it for some other purpose that would be easier than spying to make money, but I still like being a spy.

Something tells me I would use it more as a tool to keep my ego in check.  Knowing myself and the fact that I alawys want to know what people think about me, I would probably just use it mostly to find out what exactly they thought about me.  Do they really think I'm funny?  Is that chick really digging me?  Do these guys even want to hang out with me?  This is without a doubt totally unethical in my mind, but I know I would do it.  I have this intense desire to know what's going on around me, but most of the time I'm too shy and weak minded to just ask.  It would be a constant battle for me to have this power and use it for good and not just for further my own agendas, as is human nature.

I think whenever anyone answers a question like this, they are offering up an a look into one of their greater flaws.  They are trying to cover up for something that they dislike about themselves.  I mean heck, why wish for something that you already have a great amount of?  So what do you guys think?  Have any mutant powers you wish you had?  Leave em in the comments below.

Peace Out.
