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

Postby Shinnen » Tue Nov 19, 2002 8:47 am

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! :grin

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?

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*

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...

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. :grin
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 :)

Postby Dumbsaint » Tue Nov 19, 2002 10:51 am

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.

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.

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.

3) That lesbians would get happy endings in anything and everything!

Well, I haven't been around the daily thread much lately but these are some interesting lists and I feel I might as well jump in.

10. An NC-17 W/T Movie. Now, how fun would that be?
9. To already be accepted to a grad school or have a job lined up so that I don't have to worry about life after May.
8. To have a happy stress free winter break with my family. Hmm... not much chance of that one! Those people are weird.
7. Puppies
6. To get paid for writing poetry so I wouldn't have to worry about finding something "practical" to do with myself.
5. To one day have a daughter with chubby cheeks (Sorry, I'm obsessed with chubby babies.) and a wife who is just a nerdy and weird as I am.
4. For people in general to be more tolerant and accepting of others.
3. For someone to finish my final Marketing project and my research paper on Dr. Faustus so that I don't have to do either of them with only three weeks left in the semester.
2. For all of the Kittens and my friends and family to have stress free happy lives where they get what they want.
1. To not live 3 hours away and soon all the way across the USA from my best friend.

Postby Annecy » Tue Nov 19, 2002 1:01 pm

Great topic!

10. That my scary committee chair would just sign off on my dissertation corrections already (I might actually get this wish in the next few days -- I hope)

9. That I were home in Southern California with my hubby and my furbabies after two months on the East Coast in grad school hell

8. That I could find a decent job within 2 hours of my home in this awful US job market for science Ph.D.s

7. (Corollary to 8) That we can scrape together enough money to pay off the debts we incurred moving across the country

6. That ME would just hurry up and release the Buffy DVDs through Season 5 (it's the last time I'll ever eagerly anticipate anything they put out, ever again)

5. That Sarah Michelle would just eat a doughnut, already (she was so beautiful in Seasons 1&2)

4. That Aly and Amber go on to many, many wonderful, lucrative, satisfying projects

3. Health and happiness (and hot girlfriends and/or boyfriends :) ) for all the Kitties

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

1. That everybody in this world, especially the world leaders, would all just GET OVER THEMSELVES and chill out for a while. Preferably indefinitely. (I guess this is my frustrated version of the "What I really want is world peace" speech that the pageant girls always give)

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.

10. That I could overcome my addiction to Pens and get some work done.

9. That my apartment would pack itself for my move.

8. That books were weightless so I could move much more cheaply.

7. That my cat would shut up once in a while.

6. That my favorite Thai restaurant would give me the secret of their basil fried rice.

5. That Buffy season 6 had just been a bad dream.

4. That my friends would live where I do and not be scattered all over the world.

3. A job where I would get the teach all the fun subjects I love from Western Civ to General Relativity to students that care.

2. A "Willow" of my own. I might be better off with a Tara to balance my own Willowness, but this about what I want, not what I need, right?

1. Hands that work without pain.
