**Perfect World =** 1. My own personal Genie with unlimited wishes… Oh… that’s probably all I would need, everything would come from that!😃 ---

**It Would Be A Perfect World, If Only . . .** Everyone did what I told them to. You hear me, people? It’s your own damn fault everything’s so screwed up. The next time you’re stuck in traffic, think to yourself, “If only I’d followed **Sinungaling** ’s orders, none of this would have ever happened.” ---

Oh, and my latest order is for the world’s scientists to invent robot women. ---

Funny, my first thought when I read the thread title was: …if only I weren’t in it. (I’m also disturbingly bad at word association games.) However, after giving my head a therapeutic shake and giving the OP some actual thought, I’ve come up with absolutely nothing. Since not everyone’s idea of Utopia is alike (and some are completely opposite), my perfect world would undoubtedly be a living hell for others, and that would put a serious dent in my hypothetical bliss. But if dogs could talk, _that_ would be good. ---

If cats could talk —you know, like we do— and would agree to wear pink tutus (girl cats) and sailor suits (boy cats). I would really love that!! 😃 ---

If it was 12 days later and I could see my sweetie again ---

If I could magically shape my body into what I want it to be, then maintain that with minimal effort. If I were a God. Not **The God** , mind, but with all the powers and omniscience that come with the job. The ability to create and un-create at will. The ability to perform minor miracles at will. That sort of thing. I would reveal, with my godlike powers, a newly discovered and heretofor unknown loophole in physics that would make space travel cheap, and easy. and FTL. Coincidentally, at the same time, a large meteor will smash into Mars and blow it neatly into our oribital plane, just opposite us. Yeah, that would do it Within a few short years, all would be well. Trust me on this one. ---
