Talents/abilities you wish you had

ie…Selective x-ray vision, telepathy…etc

I just wish I could swim. . . .

I wish I had some will and determination. Other than that, telepathy would be nice.

teleportation would be nice.

other than that, i’m right with PolarField on the will & determiniation bit.

On the impossible scale, I wish I could fly.

Otherwise, I envy those people who can sing so effortlessly. I had the pleasure of listening to Cilette Swan of Gypsy Soul sing a capella a song to me and my wife on our anniversary and it was sooo beautiful, it made me cry.
I wonder what it would feel like to sing so sweetly it could bring tears to someone’s eyes.

I wish:

  • I was able to understand my emotions.
  • that I could sing.
  • I was more creative.
  • I had stronger will power.
  • that I could get people to feel what I do.

I wish:

I could play any musical instrument.

I could eat anything without gaining weight.

I could pick winning lottery numbers.

Flying would be nice.

(All of these, mind, would be entirely controllable – i could turn them on or off at will)

Telepathy
Teleportation
Telekinesis
The power to make men want me

pyrokenisis.

I’d like to be able to express emotions with my ears, like a cat.

A tail would be handy, preferably prehensile.

I sang semi-pro for years, but I really don’t have much of a voice; the basic equipment just ain’t there. I’d love to have a real, beautiful voice.

(A lot of us would like to sing, it seems. Perhaps we should form an SDMB Choir. We could all sit and sing our parts into the computer and imagine we’re making beautiful music together.)

I’m with Poohpah. Flying would be nice, but seriously, singing could help somewhat - being able to gaze soulfully in her eyes and serenade the ladies…

My current singing sounds like someone forgot to use the clutch shifting gears.

The power to stop or reverse time, though I have to admit that I find Porpentine’s idea intriguing.

Two words: multiple orgasms.

I wish I could melt women with my gaze and my stunning good looks. I’ve almost got the gaze thing perfected.

I’m happily married and all, but it would still be fun.

Wings… wait thats not an ability or talent… well drawing… I want to be able to draw wonderful pictures… I’m not a bad singer already and I don’t want to be better cuz I like my voice. And I want to know how to play the guitar and the piano.

To be able to lick my own eyebrows…

Kee-rist! A chick who can hold her own talking to me about cars? Of COURSE I want you!!! Do you know about turbos?

I would like to be able to:

Play guitar
Play drums
Play keyboard
Sing

Fanciful:

Telepathic
Telekinetic
Telemarketing… no, wait
All Superman’s powers

–Tim

All things re-considered…

Given a 45 mile one way commute: teleportation

Given that I can play drums, bass, guitar but can’t sing or get along with band mates well enough to play on stage: sing

I’m with Homer on the play guitar wahoo.

When I can afford to, I’m going to buy one and teach myself.

I also wish I could be a little more confident and get the umph to go ahead and do some of the things I want to… like drama.
