I wish that I could get my personal s\*\*\* together. I wish I had more money. I donā€™t want to be rich, I just want to pay my bills. I wish someone would give my husband the recognition he deserves as a musician. I wish I could meet more Dopers. ---

I wish that the hobbies and interests and job I have, all of which I am quite happy with, did not attract such an overwhelmingly unablanced male-female gender ratio. And I wish other people on this thread would also wish for true love, so as to not make me feel like a loserā€¦ anyone? come on, you know youā€™re out there. ---

I wish for a nice ego stroke now and thenā€¦we all like to think that we make a positive differnce for other people, and Iā€™m in one of those moods where I would like that affirmation more often than I get itā€¦ ---

I wishā€¦ I had a billion dollars, so I could put 5 million in an account for myself and give the rest away to the needy. My band would actually go somewhere and do _something_. I wish that mural walls were set up in my city so I could poster my heart out without worrying about being busted. I wish TV was better. I wish that I would only have 4 school days instead of 5, with wensday off. I wish I knew how to swim, ride a bike and rollerblade. I wish I could play any instrument well. I wish I could read music. I wish the SDMB had 5 top of the line servers. ---

ā€¦my country would give up the heartless neoliberal ideology thatā€™s been tormenting it for the last twenty years. ā€¦I could meet a kind, patient, handsome and funny left-wing skinny gay nerdboy with glasses and a British accent. And that he would fall in love with me. And that he would be great in the sack. ā€¦I didnā€™t have so many issues. ā€¦I would get more translating work. ā€¦my roommate **Hamish** would win the lotto so he wouldnā€™t have to work at that horrible, horrible job of his. ā€¦gay kids would stop killing themselves. ā€¦at least one gay club in the village would play good music more often than once a week. ā€¦I were more empathic. ---

ā€¦that I was happier ā€¦that I wasnā€™t so lonely all the time ā€¦that I make it to Uni and graduate ā€¦that there was at least one guy within a 5 km radius that found me more attractive than just a friend and actually cared about me ā€¦that my life wasnā€™t such a disappointment ---
