What would you have? Pick anything, be it fantasy or reality.

Well, I, for one thing, would have a ton of money. Then I would be able to buy everything in the world. Well, naw, I wouldn't want to do that.

Then I'd have the ablity to draw couples better. Currently they're crap. In fact, If I could, I'd have the ablity to draw males better before couples...

Also, I would have the ablity to type better, and stop making all of these typos, because I'm starting to think that people think I cant spell. wink.gif

Then of couse, I'd have incredible magic powers. And a boyfriend. wub.gif

The very last thing I would have is a PS2. I have been dying to play Kingdom Hearts for ages, and plus I recently lost my PSone.

Money. I could buy all sorts of things, like love.

Either that, or Bernard's Watch. Bernard's Watch was a kids TV series about a kid with a watch that could stop time. He would always use it to get his homework in on time and be charitable and all this crap, though.

Hm...if I could have anything...

I'd have kitty ears for sure. Kitty ears rule =^.^=

Kendo and Iaido skill too. That's a must. ph34r.gif nah, no ninjutsu, thank you.

As for possesions: my own arcade games place. With machines of my choice thumbup.gif

And of course, a never-ending supply of beer pirate.gif <Yar!)

I'd have to be a Time Lord as in Doctor Who. I never have enough time to do everything I want. If I was a master of time, perhaps things would be easier in this respect. But then of course, people would say having such great power would mean I'd have a great responsibility to use it for the greater good, right?

Sigh.. thus I'd have to save the universe and so forth, over and over. Doesn't solve anything! Well at least not my original problem.

Oh I'll just settle for the fantastic job that I'm trying to get.

That's a hard question. Probably the perfect girl, which would be my girlfriend minus our fights. unsure.gif

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

Magic.

In particular, the way I have it set up in the RPG I'm designing. The way all human beings would learn some kind of magic, regardless of who they are, where they're born, who their parents are, where they live in a societal hierarchy, where they rank socioeconomically or politically, what their religion, etc..

What a democratizing effect that would have on the world--one in which bullied elementary school kids could fight back against their bullies, one in which slaves could fight off their masters, one in which the oppressed could overcome their oppression.

And one more thing: in my system, magic can't really kill. You can only knock someone out or injure them so much. You'd have to work pretty hard to kill someone with magic. (And correspondingly too, no instant-KO magic.)


Speaking more realistically, how about a lot of money. Not because I like to hoard money, or that I like a filthily rich lifestyle, but so that my parents wouldn't be constantly fretting over family finances and paying for my college tuition, and so that I could donate a lot of that money to charity (and thus use it politically and morally as well).

Edit
Or maybe...either a time machine or foresight. Such that I could see the future and act to possibly change it.

Animorphs! If you never read those books, you should. They were quite good back in the day when I read a lot. I never got around to reading the rest of the series though unfortunately.


Come to think of it, I would also really like to have that ability. Just to be able to soar in the sky as a hawk...that'd be great. Not to mention being as strong as a grizzly, or as small as a fly (Don't think I would ever want to be a fly though, the risk of being swatted would never be worth it!)

A car. I really, really would like to have a car. It doesn't have to be pretty, it doesn't need airco, it doesn't need a radio, it just needs to work.

I would also like to have completed several university courses. Literature Studies (I'm working on it!), history, psychology and something ICT-related, I wouldn't know how to call it. I'm actually considering following a few courses to learn the basics of computers and coding and all that; I have some experience but I've always lacked the professional backbone to add.

I'd want Stella to come home.
I'd want to be nicer.
I'd take back anything mean I ever said to anybody.
I'd have Peter Leavitt put in jail forever.

The least important..
I'd want to not have to work at the job that I work at, and still be able to go to college.
I'd want to be pretty.
