If you had three wishes

[€uroMeinke]

Hmmm, there are the usuals of wealth and health, but I'm thinking ot might be fun to have some sort of unusual powers such as:

Invisibility - get to wander about and be that fly on the wall

Ability to stop or travel through time - How cool would it be to "time out" the world and wander about and see things from different perspectives. Or, the whole time travel thing, check out what really happend.

Ability to live parallel lives - you know, you make those life changing decissions, wouldn't it be cool to at least check out what your life might have been like had you made the other choice? Of course that can make for some fun speculation anyway - perhaps some things it's best we don't know.

Vampireism - think about it, immortality for your self and your best friends (I'm thinking the sexy Anne Rice version of Vampires - we'll without the lame rockstar parts.

I'm still speculating, but I'd at least have one fun frivilous wish.

I'd wish for more wishes

I did but I have selective memory.

And I didn't even have to wish for it!

I think that if everyone had 3 wishes, they could wish for themselves to be healthy...

1.) That I be healthy until the end of my days and die from natural causes that are unrelated to disease, famine, or otherwise unpleasant things.

2.) I like the magical wallet that regenerates money.

3.) Happiness for myself (which would mean that my friends would be happy)

Next up: define happiness, and without unhappiness, how would we measure happiness and define ourselves by it?

Yes! This is definitely on the top of my list. I often wish for that. Not that I'm not happy with my life, I definitely am, but sometimes I'd like to know what it's like to live the life of a heroin addict or a ballet dancer, etc.

Time travel too.

I also wish I had a Beauty and the Beast type mirror that would answer my questions about history. I could ask it who killed JFK, if aliens are real, if there was ever an entertainment trend as awful as reality tv, etc.

I like your mirror, but I look at it and wonder if it would be like a Mirror of Eristed... Would it be telling you truths, or the truth you want to see/hear?

Too many questions, and do we really want the answers?

[Kevy Baby]

I know I WOULDN'T wish for immortality. I wouldn't be able to handle life knowing there was no end to it.

And I don't want to know when it ends. Dying itself doesn't scare me, I just wouldn't want to know. If it were soon, I would freak out. If I knew I would live to an old age (quite likely given my genes - great grandma lived to be 107), I would put too many things off. Besides, it would take away the whole surprise factor.

Now, immorality; I don't just wish for it, I make it happen!

Buzzz. Incomplete answer! You also don't want JKR to die, which is what the tricksy devil would do if you wished for just your own health before the series ended.

According to Aladdin's Genie, I also can't have the dead brought back to me. I have absolutely no time to post right now (I'm cheating here as is- maybe I should wish for more time! ) so I won't get into ethics right now, but if, in my wish, I wasn't disturbing God's plan, I would want the dead back. Of course, knowing that Heaven is perfection, I'd doubt they would want to come back to earth. I know they are by my side and guide me throughout the day, and my life.

All that aside, I want my sweetieheart back. I want to go back, if only for a day, to that time in my life when we were planning on getting married and sharing a happy home. Riding on the back of his motorcycle along PCH, having glasses of wine out on our upper deck watching the boats drift by. Snuggling up in bed all comfy cozy and kissing each other goodnight. I'd give anything to see his face one more time, touch his skin & feel him. Even if all I got was a moment to kiss him good-bye, I'd want that. To have him alive again? Well I dream about that at least once a day. Dear God I miss him so much.

Or, I'd want a big welcome back dinner with Chris, my best friend Robin (I miss her so much. I miss EVERYBODY so much!!), my two Grandpa's, my dog Doc (laying at my feet), and everybody else I've lost as guests. That would be my wish. :-)
