Well the most depressing for me at the moment is that I’ll probably never get another chance to be Danny’s girlfriend and even if I did although I do think it would work out because we’re the best of friends now, I’d be scared it wouldn’t. I probably won’t ever have flat, toned abs. I just don’t have the will power for it. In the same vein, I probably won’t ever be as thin as I’d like to be. And the rest just involve lots of kinky sex and fun stuff. Kitty ---

I keep having this dream that I’m in charge of taking care of all these tropical fish and always wind up killing them in some bizarre way – ways that could never happen in real life, like I net them and they shatter, or cause their mouths fall off, stuff like that. Oh, you mean daydreams…well, since my trilogy will not likely ever be finished, much less published, I’m not holding my breath for the contract for the movie starring Natalie Portman. And since my guitar playing sucks, I’ve pretty much given up on my rise to further fame as a rock star. ---

My dream is to become the deposed dictator of a small Central American country. Oddly enough, my local community college doesn’t offer any courses along those lines… ---

I would love to develop or even just work at a retreat for patients with cancer. They would be able to meet one another, have time and space to regroup, learn about coping with cancer, learn relaxation techniques, get the latest about nutrition, etc. Massage and other alternative therapies for mind, body, and spirit would be available. _sigh_ I love this dream. However, it would take tons of money to start up and run. ---

Oh, well, like a lot of you, I have the hopelessly improbable dream of writing- yet as Douglas Adams told us in the first Hitchhiker Novel, the improbable does occur. That said, I have other more unusual dreams. [li]For some reason, I’ve been lately having the dream of being impregnanted with the son of Satan. Yes, okay, being the mother of the antichrist isn’t a normal dream, but I don’t know.[/li] [li]Ever since I watched the PPG, I’ve thought being a superheroine would be cool. But…not as cool as being…[/li] [li]A super **villain**. I’d be a devilishly suave one. Cool, sexy, what’s not to love? Well, the fact that I’d treat my vanquished with a cruel and brutal strength.[/li] Other than that, I’d like to swim with real live whales…I doubt that would happen, though. It’s a nice thought though. 🙂 ---

I dream of having a dream. Seriously. I have no particular ambition or passion in my life and I wish I did. Might give me some focus or purpose. Something anyway so I didn’t feel like such a waste of protoplasm. ---

I want wings. Big, huge, Dragon wings, jutting right out of my back, so I could fly. This disgusts most people. 😃 ---

To have enough money to start some fabulous foundation that does amazing things that other foundations/charities don’t do or won’t try. To star in a movie. I know this is dumb, but I used to be quite the thespian, and for many (not all, I realize) this is the pinnacle of success. To publish a book. I have ideas, but I lack discipline and let’s be honest, probably the talent as well. To buy a bookstore or something for my mom to run. My mom is a huge reader and instilled in me my love of books. I think she’d like this. To pay for my entire family (parents, sister) to take a really amazing luxury vacation together. ---

To write and publish the Great American Novel. To travel almost everywhere. To live a love story that makes everyone else physically ill. 🙂 Actually, I have another fantasy, about starting an artists’ commune. There’d be one large main house where we’d all live, an organic garden, a chicken run, a flock of goats, a wood-working studio, a ceramics studio, a glass-blowing studio, a landing strip for the small plane that would fly to civilization for supplies once a month, and of course, high-speed Internet access for all! And we’d have a home school program for everyone’s kids. We’d be as self-sufficient as possible. _sigh_ I love thinking about this! And, if I was _really_ rich, I’d have my own publishing company and be able to help other writers get their work out there. Ahhhh, now that’s a dream! ---

To have my teaching theory (same teacher with one group of students for several years) implemented and proven vastly more successful than the current methods. \*\* You might be onto something here. My son had the same teacher and many of the same classmates 2 years in a row. She taught a split 3rd/4th grade class, and he was in both sections. He did very well those 2 years and the one after. Are you studying Education? ---
