HELLO people .. How are u doing ?

Jer66ome 06-09-2010 02:10 PM

1. to be content with my life
2. find a good woman to share my contented life with
3, great health for all my family and friends

HumanePain 06-09-2010 03:38 PM

1) To be able to travel forward and backward in time as often as I wished. This wish alone would help obtain many other sub-wishes, such as buying a parlor sized grand piano, because I could predict the stock market and make millions.
Essentially, this wish would address almost all of my material needs and wants.

2) To stay 25 forever, whilst possessing a mind that learns without crystallizing in old age, without senility or dementia. This, together with wish #1 would enable me to see all of the world.

3) My last wish would be that no infants or children would ever die. Once they are mature, nature steps in and culls the species as always (or man himself as in wars, crime etc.), with the same unbiased scythe, but at least there would be no child deaths. This kind of death is the most painful and saddest of all the kinds of deaths. I understand nature's need for death and even its benefit, but to keep children from dying would remove some of humanity's suffering and mourning.

Beneath the Shadows 06-10-2010 12:16 AM

Wish 1: The knowledge required to construct the medical equipment required to produce a perfect clone of myself and to produce the proper cybernetic implants to allow 100% data transference from my own brain into the brain of my clone (with continual real-time updates to the point of death), effectively allowing me to achieve a state as close to immortality as any person has thus far gained.

Wish 2: The funds required for construction of said equipment, as well as facilities for continued genetic and cybernetic research, which would of course result in gaining additional funds from both the public and private sectors which I can then use for other fields of research... like space travel.

Wish 3: I'll figure that one out some time within the next million years.

Anarasha 06-10-2010 12:41 AM

1: Vampirism. Not the Twilight kind, the actual kind. I would live forever and see the world, I would never have to perform the ritual of eating again and I would never have to worry about health.

2: For 1 to happen soon.

3: For 1 to happen tomorrow night.

Ben Lahnger 06-10-2010 11:22 AM

Why is it always 3 wishes? Why not 2 ... or 15?

I like the way that "I Dream of Genie" dealt with it ... a genie gets a crush on the guy who rescues her from the bottle and the wishes, should he want them, are available in unlimited supply.

honeythorn 06-10-2010 11:31 AM

1- To wake up tomorrow with the body I want, instead of this sagging sack of flesh.

2- A decent pay rise so I can move out of my parents house to a few miles away in the green belt countryside near where I live.

3- The ability to hear the speech/communication of animals and the natural world. Imagine the things you'd hear!!!!!

Ben Lahnger 06-10-2010 11:34 AM

I meant "I Dream of Jeanie", of course.

Saya 06-10-2010 02:11 PM

The money to finish my degree and move, the funds and means to fight injustice in the world on a large scale, and the funds and means to also establish a farm sanctuary.

triggerhappi26 06-10-2010 02:33 PM

1) The ability to change my apearance in a moments notice (I'm not so upset at the idea of dying one day I just don't want to look like a frail old woman ever)

2) Invisible wings that had absolutely no effect on how I wore my clothes. That way I could fly around but still look completly normal, plus, wings are interesting in general.

3) To never have to work or worry about money, not necessarily be rich just be able to live comfortably and not work

LaBelleDameSansMerci 06-10-2010 04:33 PM

1. The time, leisure, training and work ethic to become absolutely phenomenal at art. I don't want to be
2. Good health, active mind, and loving companionship.
3. Enough money to not have to worry about it (and therefore be able to produce whatever art I want, and not have to worry about selling it or having a day job).

Saya 06-10-2010 04:36 PM

LaBelle! Where have you been?

LaBelleDameSansMerci 06-10-2010 05:18 PM

Working, sleeping and arting. They take up most of my time, and I'm taking a break from the last. I have largely exhausted the first-layer possibilities of a still life of four tortellini. I have also been ill for the last 7 or so months, which is why the abundance of sleeping. Don't know what it is...

aspiring 06-22-2010 09:00 PM

1. Time Control. Including sending specific objects back in time, or returning objects to what they were, or what they will be (a cheap way of immortality)
2. The ability to know the knowledge of every being alive.
3. To have infinite patience

KontanKarite 06-22-2010 09:07 PM

I wish... for you to have a heart.

Solumina 06-22-2010 09:54 PM

Is that a specific "you" or a general "you"?

gothicusmaximus 06-22-2010 10:07 PM

1. For every human being on Earth to have the power to fly at a speed facilitating rapid travel to other planets, even galaxies.

2. For the body of every human being on Earth to become a completely self-contained, self-sustaining entity, capable of surviving the vacuum of space and requiring no food nor air.

3. For every human being on Earth to be sewn ass-to-mouth in a colossal HUMAN CENTIPEDE.

Ben Lahnger 06-22-2010 10:48 PM

Oh my gosh, what a wonderful sentiment!

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Lady Sorrow 06-23-2010 06:51 AM

1. the be graduated from school.
2.to move far far away.
3. to always be with him i love.

KontanKarite 06-23-2010 09:05 AM

You could wish for your DnD witchcraft beliefs to actually be real. That'd be a cool wish.

Lady Sorrow 06-23-2010 09:11 AM

you so dont mean Dungeons and Dragons. im not that big a loser. no. the wishes i asked for are all i truely want out of this life.

KontanKarite 06-23-2010 09:22 AM

Yeah, I did, actually. Because that would be a better wish. I suppose you WOULD wish for those other things because they WOULD be beyond your grasp. It makes sense that you'd have to wish for them.

Pretending to have magical powers > actually believing yourself to have magical powers.

Lady Sorrow 06-23-2010 09:53 AM

lol i dont belive i have magickal powers. Magick is invoking the help of a deity.

Oh, so it's like Clerics in D&D-- except, instead of make-believe, it's a delusion. Do you already have a group or can I play?

What are you, 13?

You wished:

1) to be done with school
2) for a geographic escape from your troubles without even a specific destination in mind
3) to be with your forever love forever

Yeah, I'm with Kontan on this one.

ape descendant 06-23-2010 10:07 AM

1) I would wish to be beautiful... the kind of beautiful that is always beautiful... even when its old beautiful.

2) I would wish for a billion dollars...

3) I would wish for the cure for cancer. :)

vindicatedxjin 06-23-2010 12:38 PM

True honest wishes?

1. That my family, loved ones, and myself would all have peaceful, content lives, and untraumatic deaths at old age.

2. That I had a billion dollars.

3. That I could teleport.

Nocturnal Logic 06-23-2010 01:21 PM

Hmm..

Wish #1. To wake up tomorrow in a fully-functioning female body that matches my mind and leave this transgendered hell forever.

Wish #2. For the world to break through the barriers that divide the human race, such as communication, hate, and prejudice; and for us as a species to stand up and take responsibility for ourselves and the planet we live on, to preserve it's beauty and health for future generations, and build upon the collective knowledge of generations past and present to build a world truly worth living in.

Wish #3. To own several thousand acres in the Southwestern United States; to live there and work together with smart, talented people with artistic ability whom I care about deeply to build a self-sufficient community, complete with workshops for whatever artistic medium I feel most drawn to at the time.

Ben Lahnger 06-24-2010 08:45 AM

Yeah ... sounds more like you're 17.

Lady Sorrow 06-24-2010 08:51 AM

thats cause i AM 17. i know, im a naive child, right?

Ben Lahnger 06-24-2010 08:59 AM

No ... I just meant that those sounded like the typical wishes of a person of your age.

But, I do hope that someday soon you learn to dream at least a little bigger.

Lady Sorrow 06-24-2010 09:02 AM

i have other dreams than that lol, those are just... well the ones on my mind lately haha. id like to own a cafe/ shop and a gallary, i want to get married and have kids, live in a house with a big yard for a garden and playing, those are my biggest dreams lol.

Saya 06-24-2010 10:05 AM

On second thought I think I`ll change my wish for a degree to my wish for shapeshifting abilities.

You can wish for fucking anything, possible or not, and you wish for things that will happen eventually? Except for the last one, wishing for that sounds like something out of the Corrupted Wishes thread.
And besides, why do you feel the need to change what you want based on what we say?

Ben Lahnger 06-24-2010 01:39 PM

By the way, I was thinking of the Corrupted Wishes thread when I read that third wish ... and I thought to myself, what if you got that wish.

Suppose you were granted that you would always be with your love forever ... and then you fell out of love and started fighting like you couldn't stand each other? (Because, lets face it, the odds on the romance lottery are long and a majority of relationships go bad for one reason or another.)

So what would you do then, stuck because of your wish with a person you didn't want to hang around with? Hmmmmm ...

Anarasha 06-24-2010 02:08 PM

Ben, stop stealing my thoughts! >_< I was gonna post something along those lines as soon as (I will assume on the gender here) she replied.

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!

Ben Lahnger 06-25-2010 05:05 PM

Bwah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!

Saya comes up with the perfect song lyric for the win ... and the belly laff! :D

Odineye 06-27-2010 09:28 PM

1. For my following wishes to be taken and fullfilled in the way that I intend.
2. To be able to perfectly control all my current and future abilities.
3. To be able freely change reality as I wish at no cost to me or any other thing in the exsistance.

Anarasha 06-28-2010 02:55 AM

But how can you possibly change reality without costing someone somehow?

i didnt change it, i detailed it.

Anarasha 06-28-2010 06:15 AM

Still.fffffffffffff

Lady Sorrow 06-28-2010 06:21 AM

well its not exactly changed. modified i guess would be the right word.

Solumina 06-28-2010 03:24 PM

I wish I could magically conjure food, that actually taste like it would if I made it from scratch (or else it wouldn't be much of a wish as I could get the same thing from a grocery store) and when I conjure said food it will release the same aromas as if I had actually cooked the food (after all one of the best things about homemade baked goods is the smell). I would always eat fantastic food without having to wait for everything to cook and without having loads of clean up to do, plus I could open a restaurant and make a ton of money since I wouldn't need much of any kitchen staff and I wouldn't have to pay for any ingredients.

I wish that I could fly, don't need to go super fast or anything just fly the same speed as I can run, because flying would be awesome if for no reason other then the view.

I wish that everyone was a shit ton more empathic.

The intent was that is would not cost them any life or engery or anything to change it. The effect however, may. Like if I changed the world to the zombie apocolypse to see how long everyone made it while I lived out a fantasy of being some mavrick zombie hunter badass, it would cost a lot of people their lives. Not mine though, imortality is 2nd on the list of the things I would change. Then I could just undo everything back to current day.
