It's "What's On Your Wishlist?" Tuesday, M

[Shinnen]

Well... since there isn't a Tuesday thread... I thought (and Ruth thought it's probably an interesting topic) I would start the thread. My first daily thread!

What's on your wishlist? Maybe the top ten things...Plus holiday season is rolling around the corner.

10. I want to see more of Amber Benson possibly... a W/T series... written by Kittens! That's just wishing... the series... i mean.
9. Better acceptance of the gay community
8. Cheaper CDs and DVDs
7. A better paid job
6. so that I can get more money to be able to continue my studies in US
5. I need a new computer
4. More books
3. A better world to live in
2. More trustable friends
1. To be able to feel and hold my girl (making it a lasting relationship), hence the need for a better paid job

So what do you think is on Willow and Tara's holiday Wishlist?

[tommo]

It's a great topic, shinnen. Thanks for posting. My wishlist...hmm...tough one I think. It changes daily. Heh.

10. Giving up smoking. God, I'd love to. But y'know, it makes me look so cool...
9. To finish that book I always wanted to write.
8. To start that book I always wanted to write. Ahem.
7. Never to have to sleep alone ever again.
6. To find a pair of knickers that fit but don't make me look like I'm wearing a marquee.
5. I want tv shows to show people like me on them. Preferably naked. And having lots of sex. I'd like that.
4. I'd like to be able to have the heating on more often. Brrr.
3. I wish I was insanely rich, so that I could jet off on a whim and get some...uh...sun.
2. I wish that two arms would hold me. Like, forever. Hee.
1. I wish that a half naked lady pirate would kidnap me and lash me to her mast and then flog me within an inch of my life with her sharp tongue and then...

Oh wait. That's oversharing. Ahem. 'Scuse me.

Willow and Tara? I think their wishlist would be to have a quiet Thanksgiving in which Willow would entirely ignore the whole meaning behind the holiday, and Tara would entice her to the dinner table with moist turkey and promises of hot stuffing. *snigger*

[samiamiguess]

Ok, hope you don't mind me intruding here but this one made me think. well there you go. well done there.

mine are along the lines of:

1) that I could drink less
2) that my company wasn't in sooo much trouble that I could get a pay rise.
3) that I'd accepted my sexual preferences earlier, thus not missing out on all the great sex.
4) that I drank less.
5) that I wasn't getting so old that I no longer know the 'in' music.
6) that I wasn't getting so old that I no longer like the 'in' music.
7) that I drank less.
8) Amber gets whatever (or whomever) she wants. even if it isn't me.
9) that I didn't have to go and run around a cold and wet hockey pitch in an hour.
10) that I could get a nice, ice cold Stella. right about now.

Just about sums it up.

sorry for the intrusion, please continue...
sonya

[dizzysyd(d)]

Samiamiguess, you aren't intruding, silly

My wishlist...Hmmm...

10. I wish to get out of the rut I'm stuck in at work
9. I wish to be paid what I'm actually WORTH at my company
8. I wish to find someone who is actually interested in me for what I have to offer.
7. I wish my kitties would not act like they're possessed by big evil nasties that make them tear up my house when I'm not there (and even when I am sometimes)
6. I wish I had a pretty old house in New Orleans
5. I wish to get along with my family instead of fighting all the time.
4. I wish to start taking advantage of my gym membership and get all cute before MR!
3. I wish my best friend would find out what is troubling him and we could stop fighting.
2. I wish W/T would have a spinoff called "The Coffee, Smoochies, & Gay Love Hour", and if so, I wish I was an Arbitron household.
1. I wish my band was successful

Well, hey...that'll give me something to work on for next year. Maybe SOME of them can actually happen

[theatremouse]

hmmmm....
10:lots of dvds...i like how i have the reputation of my room being equivalent to blockbuster
9: boots. (i only wear adidas sandals but now i'm at university in a snowier region. my feet are cold and wet. )
8:the tatoo my best friend and i have been meaning to get for months.
7:a vx2000....sigh...yummy cameraness.
6:Amber in something that i can watch.
5:my attention span back
4:to know what i'm doing after may
3:happiness for my friends
2: to get cast in something, anything, a pilot, a movie... but to have some sort of mobility in terms of my acting career (or the attempt at such...)
1:to get back to together with the girl of my dreams.

oddly enough that top one seems very possible....knowing me it'll never happen though.
::mope::

peace.

[Dumbsaint]

Hmmm...

10. More time to read. And to write.
9. A lifetime supply of cheese.
8. The entire Anne of Green Gables series on DVD.
7. Enough money to make INS bend over backwards for pirate-lovin' Brits. And enough left over to start up a lil TV venture. Heh.
6. A good therapist.
5. A job that I was more excited about. And that involves writing. And lady pirates.
4. More time with the people I love the most.
3. All the answers. And a picnic in the English countryside with friends.
2. As I am currently apartment hunting, I am especially wishing right now to find a place to fall in love with that I can afford. Something small, but not too small, and all to myself. With good lighting. And I want my piano under the same roof as me again. Dammit. Heh.
1. Naked-from-the-waist-up lady pirates to kidnap me and sail me off into the sunset. Sigh.

[LostSoul]

Hmm. Well my wishes have to be less deep than some of what I've read because, hey, I can't make it that revealing, now can I?

Here we go:

10. The paint on my car to stop getting chipped by driving behind gravel trucks. Can't the make those guys use a tarp?

9. Alyson to do a signing at Metro

8. High speed internet access so I can harrass my friends w/o waiting for pages to load.

7. The down payment for a house.

6. The time to continue my charity endeavors year around.

5. Less negativity on the planet.

4. The self discipline to write the screenplay I've had rumbling around in my brain for years.

3. A few truly good friends (although I do have 1 now).

2. My grandparents to be comfortable and happy for the rest of their lives (however long that may be).

1. Someone to hold and be held by (physically and emotionally).

For what it's worth that's the list.

*Announcer guy voice comes out of nowhere* "All wishes subject to change".

Note: Any wishes that I have in regard to Amber's happiness have been previously voiced and are therefore always implied even if they aren't actually mentioned.

[Tulipp]

I wish.

10. That I understood the thing about the lady pirates.
9. That my cat Charlotte could understand that sometimes my girlfriend and I want private time.
8. That my cat William would knock it off with the ankle biting. Its getting annoying.
7. That I could afford to get the roof repaired and the screen doors replaced today.
6. That I made time to write every single day and not to-do lists, either.
5. That cake came in more flavors.
4. That jellybeans came in fewer flavors.
3. That my mother would get, once in her life, a break.
2. That I was a less petty person.

Okay, heres my maudlin conclusion..

1. That all the Kittens had health and happiness and true love and everything on their wish lists.

2. That all my friends and loved ones will be happy, healthy, and safe

Annecy

[ruby]

Truly a great topic.

The first of several thousand wishes on my mind:
10. More time to read books for fun, instead of being up to my neck in drama criticism.
9. To pull it together long enough to finish my dissertation.
8. To continue to make a living by teaching, preferably at two or three times my current salary.
7. Confidence and poise. (Hey, who couldn't use more?) And patience.
6. For all my debt to mysteriously disappear.
5. Jodie Foster calling me up and casually suggesting we get together for lunch. (Shallow, perhaps. At least it didn't rank above world peace.)
4. Success for Amber Benson on her own terms. Ditto for Aly.
3. Health and fitness (while maintaining my steady diet of beer).
2. CANDY. I love it.
1. Peace on earth, goodwill everywhere, and the end of prejudice and homophobia.
