I have waffled between telekinesis and control over water. I think I'd say control over water, with the specification that I can also control moisture in the air. I'd never have to deal with humidity again. 😀 (Besides, with precise enough water control, you functionally have telekinesis. No, I have not overthought this question IN THE SLIGHTEST. 😉 )

If you had the ability to freely communicate with one kind of animal, what kind would you pick?

I'd say birds. It'd be awesome to be able to ask them what they can see while they're flying, maybe send them to check out how things are going in places I'd like to visit but can't yet... or get them to spy on people... endless possibilities. On the other hand, though, I think I'd then have to swear off eating chicken (my favourite meat), so maybe it's not such a good idea after all...

Which time period (past or future!) would you most like to visit, if you could time-travel?

Oooh, so many options!  I’m quite interested in the Victorian/Civil War era and/or the Medieval/Renaissance in terms of historical and fashion perspectives, but we also know a lot about those periods in history.  I think perhaps I’d travel back to a period that we don’t know much about at all would be even more intriguing—maybe to solve some sort of mystery (for example, what happened to the Incas and the Anasazi or how Stonehenge and the statues on Rapa Nui/Easter Island were built).  I’d prefer not to know the future, as I tend to stress about things in the future anyway, and I don’t need more things to worry about!  

Would you rather travel to the edge of the galaxy or the bottom of the sea (and maybe inside the the Earth’s crust!)?

Hmm, probably edge of the galaxy.

Do you like listening to audiobooks?

I do! Sometimes the readers voice can make it hard but once I get used to it it’s all good! 

Do you enjoy discussing controversial issues?

I wouldn't say I enjoy, but I am okay with discussing controversial issues.

Would you prefer to see a rainbow or a sundog?

A sundog — I've never seen one of those!

What's your favorite way to get some exercise?

Going for a nice long walk with a friend - or good music in my headphones.

What's your favourite easily-cooked dinner?

Taco Burgers, made like Sloppy Joes, served with chips and apple salad.

What's your favorite movie or TV show to quote?

I would have to say The Office.

Have you ever broken a bone?

Nope! How I avoided it, I’m not sure. 

Have you ever had a root canal?

No, but I know a suitably terrible joke about one...

Did you hear about the yoga master who refused an anaesthetic for his root canal filling?

Spoiler

His goal: transcend dental medication.

(Moving right along...)

Have you ever learned to scuba dive?

No.

Have you ever baked and decorated a birthday cake?

Yes, many times.  

Have you ever ridden on or driven a tractor? (Bonus points if it was a John Deere.)  

I don't get the bonus points , but yes, a number of times.  

Do you have an interest in local history?
