I wish I could fly.

I wish I could get over this crappy head cold.

I wish I knew enough swear words to describe my cold.

Can someone help me?

At least my nose has stopped running.

Oh, nevermind what I said, **ivylass**. I said one thing, and after I clicked ‘send’ I thought I’d elaborate a bit, and then another idea came to me, and so on. Then I had to leave before I finished it. But It really doesn’t matter anymore. Bah. I was just being a harmless grump.

I wish I wasn’t depressed for no reason.  
I also wish I wasn’t planning to sneak out of the house tomorrow.  
Now I wish my table lamp hadn’t gone “Pfffft!” and exploded when I said that.
