Chose your super powers wisely.

It's that time of night where I stop to consider which super power I would rather have if I had the chance to pick one. My top three include teleportation, telekinesis and mind reading. But these are too simplistic. How would my power really work? Tonight I'm gonna go with a form of teleportation.

Issues to consider: Accidentally teleporting into objects or people that stray into your path. How do you know where to teleport? How would you hide it from people? Could you take other people with you? How could you use it to enrich your life? What is the downside of your power? Does a star explode every time you use your power? Does it corrupt the earths orbit or cause electrons to spin the opposite direction around the nucleus or something crazy like that?

Here's what I came up with for my power, and I'm pretty sure it's full proof. It doesn't actually involve teleporting. Instead, the power is to open portals or "doors" of any shape/size. I can move the "doors" and reshape them with my mind. Part of the power is that I'm the only one that can see them, but other people can go through them as long as I am maintaining them with my mind. The cool thing is that, if I want to go to some place that I've never been, I can just keep moving the door while I look through it like a traveling TV, if you will. When I see the place I want to go, I just walk through. I don't know if it would be cheating to add any more conditions.

Things to worry about: Differences of air pressure on each side of the portal. If the portal gets opened in outer space or under water, would air go rushing out or water come rushing in? I might add the condition that the doors can be mentally switched to be one way only, so that differences in pressure don't represent a danger. That's it. May the blog be with you.

Does this power also include the ability to SUDDENLY CHANGE THE LOOK OF YOUR BLOG? The shape-shifting blog.

You should change it every week.

This format is a lot easier to read. The old one was giving me a headache.
