Knowing the folks around here, I'll put this down into two sections.
What you want realistically, th basest and most serious thing, anything
from specific political shifts to simple desires in life
What you want thats not realistic, giants robots, kabuki-powered ramen
flinging condem soaked ky orgies etc.
purty simple, and I think it'd let a lot of people get a better feel for
their fellows around here.
I want a house, a huge house, with an assload of rooms and several of my
dearest friends living close by. Sort of a pseudo-commune thing. Privacy,
but closeness ya know?
I want to be a fuckin' legend...
Alright, lessee what the hell you all want.

I want a house, it doesn't have to be big, with four bedrooms and a
backyard and some room for gardening. I want it to have a garage, so my
fiance can play with his cars. I want it to be pretty, but not
elaborate.
I want a fun job, that doesn't make my back hurt, that expands my mind and
helps make the world a better place, and that makes enough money so my
fiance can stay home and take care of himself (he's not very healthy), and
so we don't have to be constantly thinking about money, we can just get
what we need and the moderate things we want.
I want my fiance's ex to go away, I want to tell her everything I think of
her, and make her so mad that she goes away and never comes back and leaves
my step-kids with us.
I also want a dragon, but I'm not going to get it. A nice, intelligent,
green-and-copper dragon that blows fire. One that generally eats people,
but for some reason took a liking to me, and we can have cool and witty
conversations, and it can take me flying all around, and it will roast
alive anyone who bugs me. But it won't be a pet, just a friend.
I want the power of invisibility, so I can sneak around and find out the
truth about a few things that have been bugging me about you-can-guess-who!
And an invisible video camera, so I can get the proof.
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul....

I would like an end to suffering in the third world, or at the very least
for my degree to be over so I can go out there and do something about it
myself.

I want Action! Adventure! Romance! Fuck it... *rents a movie*
Really, though... I want to travel. I want to see the wide, wide world in
detail. I want to experience as much as I can. I want to taste everything,
touch everything, see everything... you get the idea. I don't want to sit
in the same place, day in and day out, doing the same things until my life
is over and it turns out that I never did anything. That's why, when an
opportunity for me to do something comes up, I will usually jump to take
it. Then, when I need a rest from travelling, I will go stay at Dolo's
friend house.
That would be an experience in itself.
Other than that, I want to eradicate stupidity and greed.
I want my kids to grow up to be decent, somewhat reasonable people. I want,
when they go out on their own, to feel that I did a good job and didn't
mess them up too badly.
When I die, I want to be able to say, "I had a good life."
I want my writing to be published... I want stupid people to leave me
alone... I want to make a living off my photography...

On a worldwide level, I want world peace, ecological respect, and
non-predatory economics.
On a personal level, I want to do whatever I care like doing, and still get
food to eat. As long as I got food, I'm pretty much good to go. I can do
the rest by myself.
On a sheerly materialistic level, I could use some aerobars for my bike, or
maybe one of those prostate-friendly seats. Or a brighter headlight. I
could also use a sunny patch of garden to grow food in. I have a little
garden, but its pretty shady most of the day. I could also use a college
degree, so I wouldn't have to work fast food to pay for my tuition. Damn
fast food to hell. (oh wait, its -already- hell...)
Life goals-wise: I just want to get by, do some environmental activism, and
have a little fun. I don't want to work much. And I want to be like those
60-year old guys that run marathons before breakfast.
Oh, and I want to smack Zero for being so selfish as to screw world peace
in exchange for a white picket fence.

realistically? I just want the legal system to forget I exist and leave me
alone so I can get on with my life.(I dunno about elsewhere but in
Missouri, once you're IN the system no matter how minor your so-called
"crime" was you may as well forget ever getting out of it)
unrealistically? I want to live forever and add the world into my kingdom
to create an empire out of Nothing.(I'm the king of the Nothing Kingdom.
also known as the king of Nothing.)

Realistically, I want to finish up my BA as painlessly as possible and get
back home where I belong so I can work on my MA and raising my daughter. I
want to give her the best life possible with as few fuck ups from me as I
can manage.
Unrealistically, I want to live out my life as an extremely spoiled pet. I
wants the pettins, the scritchins, the lavish attention. I want to wake up
when I want, nap when I want, and have my motivation behind anything be the
fact that I wanted to do it. And I would get taht all merely for the fact
that I was there. What do I care if I'm a show piece. I'ma be a happy
little show piece.

Realistically:
I want a big house near the woods. I want it to have a huge library. I want
it to have all sorts of antiques and paintings in it. And I want a comfy
chair where I can sit and read peacefully in.
I want to lay down near a lake and just listen...
I want a new pair of green socks to replace the pair I lost.
I want that car alarm across the street to just shut the hell up. That
bastard of a neighbor has been toying it with for 3 days.
Unrealistically:
I want that same annoying neighbor to just "magically disappear"...without
me having anything to do with it.
Eh.
I want to have x-ray vision and be able to spew fire.

I want to get rid of my hemorrhoids.
I want to be able to retire with the knowledge that social security will
still exist, and that our other savings and retirement plans will have
enough in them to support my husband and I comfortably.
I want some sort of national medical plan that compares to the type England
and Canada have.
I want to win some sort of Nobel prize.

I want to be able to write stuff that's worth reading.
I want to stop being so tired and I'd love to stop feeling nauseous and
faint.
I want Sisko to forgive me for taking him to the Vet to be neutered,
declawed, and vaccinated.
I want my babycat to come back safe and healthy on Thursday,
I want to find an apartment that isn't too expensive, is in a decent
neighborhood, is close to my job, allows cats, and has all the niceties.
I want a very good friend of mine to be able to get custody of his son from
his psycho ex-bitch by the time the divorce is final. This woman attacked
people for saying hi to my friend...and even her own mother (who is a
sweetheart), said that my friend shouldn't have married her daughter. I
want my friend's son to go to bed knowing that his mother won't be able to
hurt him or his dad again. I want my friend to live without fear, and to
find a lover that will be an equal partner, not a child, not a dictator.
And I want the same thing for me. I want to be able to figure out how to
do my taxes, get the divorce over and done with, find out who I really am,
then find myself a person that I'll see as an equal, not as my child or as
a tin-plated dictator. Someone who won't be sickly sweet one moment, then
bitterly hateful and cruel the next (damn those Geminis anyway!). I'd love
to be with someone that shares my passions, my goals, and believes in
dreams. Someone who would respect me as a person, and not violate me in
every way imaginable.
I want to surround myself with people who can be tough and gentle at the
same time...oh, wait...I already have!
I want to be, ultimately, able to make my dreams come true, and make money
at it. I want to sing, dance, act, direct, write, paint, design, critique,
and love my way through life, all while making a difference to others.
I want a nice, generously-sized cottage, surrounded by a yard large enough
for me to have every single garden I want. I want to have roses growing up
and over my cottage, and I want to be able to smell them every summer. I
want to fill my house with happy children and animals, and I want ot have
those children with a man that will be mature, responsible, and a good and
loving father.
I want ot be able toget my car's front end aligned, get it insured, get the
title switched over, and get new tires on it. I want to be able to drive
without being nervous, and I want to be able to get my license.
I want to be able to travel, whether it's to be able to see the world or
see my family.
I want my father to love me like my mother does. I want him to choose his
children and grandchildren over his miserably failed love life. I want him
to live and love, and not be afraid to stand on his own. I want him to
dream and do, not dream and then talk himself out of it.
I want my mother to be safe and happy. I want her to be with people worthy
of her love. I want my stepfatehr to think before he speaks. I want my
stepfather to feel my mother's pain every time he says or does something
cruel to her or her family.
I wnat my sisters to have good lives. I want my oldest sister's husband to
treasure every moment with her and the kids. I want my oldest sister to
finish college. I want myother sister to cast off her cruel, abusive
husband and take her kids to a place where they will be sage and happy. I
want all of my nieces and nephews to grow up feeling loved and knowing that
anything is possible.
I want to find my half-ssiter.
I want my brother to find happiness in himself. I want a good woman to see
what a treasure he is, and give him a chance to show her just how good a
man he is.
I wnat my family to heal from the traumas of the past, and embrace the
future.
I want people to stop being so greedy and selfish. I want my place of
employment to think more about ther patients than they do about the bottom
line. I want them to say they care--and mean it.
I want the world to be a better place than it is.
I want people to shut up and listen to each other, one voice at a time.
I want everyone to understand the wisdom ot trees, streams, and small
children.
I want the nightmares to be over.
I want to be happy.
And, while I'm wishing in one hand and shitting in the other...I want a
pony.
