A place of my own. A girlfriend who is pretty, smart, kind, considerate, and kinkier than a pubic hair. A relatively inexpensive mechanical procedure that will restore my car to its previous working condition. Enough money to start the music career I’ve always dreamed about. A slight boost to the ol’ GPA. A vacation, preferably overseas. [whine]Is this really too much to ask, Life? Is it?..[/whine] Thank you.

Right now I wouldn’t mind having: a banana split with lots of yummy toppings. my new insurance information so I don’t have to pay this outrageous bill. a man who genuinely cares about me. the willpower to start working out more often so I could dump this extra 15 pounds. * * * “Love given when it is inconvenient is the greatest love of all. Kindnesses that are shared at a high cost to oneself are the most dear.” Don’t know who said it, but I like it. ---

An hour or so to myself, so I could watch the rest of the Saturday Night Live special. I gotta have breakfast and take my kid to karate class. I wouldn’t mind having some help from the rest of the family raking leaves. No help, unless I get my son to rake, for either $1 a bag or one Pokemon card. And it has to be a Basic Pokemon at least 50 points. ---
