Please, Sir, I Want Some More
What she wants, I want.
I want to actually use the French I’ve learned in school, live in Paris for a year, perhaps learn to cook there, and come home stylish and sophisticated—like Audrey Hepburn.
I want to illustrate books and magazines for a living, and I want to sell original art and art prints on the side.
I want a top-of-the-line PowerMac with everything on it, and I want to be able to pay for it all up front with nary a care for other expenses.
I want to take dance classes again.
I want to learn self-defense.
I want to enrich all of my personal relationships by giving more, listening more, caring more, and understanding more.
I want to play the piano again, and I want to learn how to play another instrument or two.
I want people to take me seriously when I’m serious.
I want people to laugh when I’m joking, too.
I want to be irresistably charming, and I want the power to make anyone smile.
I want to cut my hair short and grow it down to my hips again.
I want to handle stress with an enviable ease.
I want to be the joy in people’s life and not their pain.
I want to master the art of communicating well—to know when to speak, when to listen, what to say, and how to say it.
I want a house I can call my own, with a study full of books, a yard lined with trees, roomy rooms, a spacy kitchen, large baths, a cat, a dog, a two- or three-car garage, and a loving family.
I want those younger and less experienced than me to look up to me, learn from my mistakes, and exceed me in accomplishments.
I want those older and more experienced than me to guide me, share with me their experiences, and help me do better than they already have.
I want to leave this world a much better place than when I came in.
I want a new wardrobe at least once every year.
I want more hobbies.
I want to be closer to my sister and cousins.
I want to meet my online friends and be everything that they ever imagined me to be.
I want my passport to be riddled with visa stamps from countries all over the world.
I want to be thought graceful, even when I’m not.
I want to always have something witty to say, to break the ice at awkward moments.
I want people to be comfortable around me, and I want my smile and my laugh to be contagious.
I want to be more motivated with my career and more enthusiastic in my work.
I want to sing in a group again and perform for the public.
I want to whisper sweet nothings in someone’s ear.
I want to be the rich bitch for once and have things done my way, but I also want to be able to revert back to the old me whenever I want.
I want to be more confident in everything I do, and I want that self-assuredness to show and to work to my advantage.
I want to visit my godmother in Australia.
I want to be more aggressive about the things that I want.
I want people to think of me when asked with whom they’d like to be stranded on a desert island.
I want to be unforgettable in the best way possible.

Amen sister. đ
What was the name of that movie? âNeedful thingsâ, maybe? I forget.
After reading still more of your pages and reviewing your list of âwantsâ, may I offer that your writing reveals that you possess the following? (Complex âwantsâ are counted as one.)
Items: 9, 10, 18, 25 (though untested, I cannot believe else wise), 29 (205-733-3708), 33 (looks like you mastered this by #8), 34 (take a poll), 35 (more than unsinkable M. Brown)
Item 22 is unlikely. I will offer that the results of the poll on item 34 will be quite admirable and a measure of item 35.
All wants considered, you have done well for someone so young.

*gasp*
Wow!
That’s a really long list. You better get started đ
Um. Oh, my.
Warren? Why is 22 unlikely?
Love it love it love it love it!
âI want to meet my online friends and be everything that they ever imagined me to beâ.
Why would I, with merely a cursory review of your writing and artwork, believe you could not be âeverythingâ that they imagined?
Your ââŚread Gray’s Anatomy as a child. For funâ, clearly reflects superior astuteness, charm, and mastery of the written word. Well balanced, insightful, and so well written, I find your work both entertaining and relative. (Countless illustrations abound throughout.)
I imagine that those acquainted with you âlive & everydayâ do not properly appreciate their good fortune of being near someone so complete. Those who find your works on this and your other sites are apt to see you without moderated views. And thus, unrestrained by familiarity, it is unlikely that you would be âequal to that they imaginedâ.
