I'd call myself The Televangelist.
funny but it also made me look up the etymological meaning of the prefix tele, which is a guilty plessure of mine, not prefixes, but etymology. i Love words and their meanings.

Yep, I like etymology too. Regarding tele, they're all over a distance. Television is about transmitting visuals and sound over a distance to a device/ receiver (a television set), telephones are basically about transferring sounds over a distance to a receiver, and telekinesis is about moving things at a distance by using mental or spiritual power.
Incidentally, like many, I've always wished that I could have some kind of special power, and spent fruitless hours as a kid trying to will objects to move with the power of my mind. I concentrated and pushed so hard that the strain resulted in me moving an object with the power of my behind as I vaguely recall.

I petrify at the first sign of trouble. Petrokinesis: the ability to turn people into stone from a distance when they tell you that you're having a bad hair day.
