Since this is for eternity and I’m assuming you won’t have the option for oblivion, my wishes would be:
the ability to completely wipe out all your experiences and memories. With an option to get a new body. (Sex after the 30 billionth time? meh. Imagine experiencing your first time doing…everything.)
after your memory wipe, the ability to temporarily remember all your experiences.
after your memory wipe, the ability to permanently remember all your experiences.
Some good hiking trails up through those mountains. With creeks alongside and an active ecosystem to check out. The bugs don’t bite and there are plenty of dragonflies.
All computers have a direct OC-768 connection to the backbone.
got the pets back with us? oh yeah, definitely great (“God forbid, that i should go to a Heaven where there are no horses!”)
infinite library – check, a “must” for sure
my contributions?
i saw (maybe still have stashed somewhere) a cartoon that had a newcomer being introduced to Heaven. his guide/angel was telling him “…And this is the best part!” there were endless rows of doors, each with individual titles on them: Everything Women Wanted to Know About Men, Everything Men Wanted to Know about Women, Elvis, Who Really Wrote Shakespeare, … on and on and on. you betcha, i’d like that.
for the crafty people like me – unlimited supplies of the materials of your choice, for creating all those things of beauty you dreamed of but could never afford/find/get the materials on your own. [i’m thinking beads. lots and lots of beads. and beautiful yarns, and carved and ornamented knitting needles. and and and…
: ahem :
that people could actually feel loved in the way they’ve always hoped for.
yeah, think that would do it.
It will be just like life as we know it, except fair. Good things or bad things will not happen to you unless you deserve them.
New colors that we’ve never seen before. Even new primary colors. And while we’re at it, new senses.
My Guy must be there with me. Without him, it wouldn’t be heaven.
My three choices are:
Every animal (not limited to cats & dogs) I’ve ever loved.
(My daughter & I used to agree on this) A comfortable chair in the corner of the largest library ever. A table next to it, containing a large glass of chocolate milk (insert the beverage of your choice, this is mine) that’s never empty & is always cold.
Being able to meet everyone you’ve ever wanted to meet. I would like to see my pre-born daughters, my granddaughter (currently growing up at the Master’s feet), my grandmother, my mother-in-law, Isaac Asimov (if he’s around), Erma Bombeck, & the Virgin Mary. I’d like to get together with Erma & Mary to discuss the difference between raising boys & girls. (I’ve 2 daughters).
A new five mile hike in the Sierra Nevada every day.
A 27 foot sloop and fair winds.
Cribbage with my Dad every evening.
There are a few dogs and cats that I’d like to see again. Come to think of it, there are a few machines and pieces of furniture that I’d like to see again. More than some people, actually.
I’d like to be able to finally find all the nice songs that I heard bits of, but was never able to learn the titles of, make out the lyrics to, or hear again.
I’d also forward the suggestion of making the occasional weekend furloughs to Hell, so I can get a shot at torturing dead people who I hated (Rodger Taney, Shiro Ishii, Will Hays…guys like them. Getting in a coupla swings of a mace would be nice).
Revenge, from the Dark Side, it comes, yeeessss.
The ability to completely understand each other.
Victory Over Ignorance.
Meeting the person who invented sex, and seeing what that person come up with lately.
My needs are simple.
The total absence of alarm clocks, or possibly clocks of any kind. All the time you need for all you would like to do.
Good coffee
Flowers
Well this is with little thought, but my three wishes would include . . .
Memory of my past life.
A scoreboard with any information I want to know about my past life (statistics, instant replays, ect.)
Any food instantly prepared at any time. (supposing you get hungry in heaven)
“The Dark Side go away completely,” “balance” The Force does not mean!
