What do you want?

Well, what do you want? What have you searched all your life for?

I want the role of Hodel in this summer's production of Fiddler on the Roof, and the role of Eliza Doolittle in next fall's My Fair Lady. I've never had more than one line in a musical, but the director acknowledges that I'm the best trained (what a sneaky clause) singer in the entire musical theatre class. Regardless, I'm the ultimate underdog. This year at auditions, I'm going all out. There's nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

I want to be able to have a career doing something I'm really honestly happy with....like owning my own store or doing photography or something. Everything else I could want -- good family, man who gets me, a good car -- I've got that. Now I just need the next fork of the road to clear up for me.

I would like a tower-library on a island in the south of France. Oh, and a massive fortune. And a highly impressive beard.

Hmmm.

At this point in my life, I have pretty much done everything I wanted to ... and more than I expcected. There's very little that I need other than what I have right now. But what do I want??

* I want to live long enough to see my children be successful in their endevors.

* I want to live long enough to see my grandchildren become young adults.

* I want to be able to set asside enough money in my trust fund to help them become what they choose.

* I want to buy some property out in the middle of nowhere and place one of these (http://www.applog.com/floorplans/charlottesville.pdf) on it.

* I want to keep myself in good shape so I don't get decrepit as I get older.

* I want to find a woman who is my match both sexually and intellectually.

That's about it. :)

Talent at something. I would love to actually be able to do something unusually well. That or the abolition of capitalism and the state, but that wouldn't really help me much if I can't do anything with my freedom, though it would help others.

A great career in the field of criminal justice or academic criminology are my main goals, but despite two degrees in the area, I am having difficulty finding relevant jobs. I still want to get my PhD, which would of course be a definite plus if I were to go along the route of academia, but finances (and, to be honest, a distinct lack of motivation) are preventing that at present.

Aside of that, a contented personal life with my partner and close friends around me.

Don't worry: you can he ME!
Or, at least you can have this life size statue of myself, it is very realistic, for the low, low price of €1,000. And, yes, it must be in Euros, it must be in cash, and it must stuffed in a brown envelope and shoved under the door of a broom closet in the basement of the UN building.

I want independence. Not any of this shitty, "Land of the Free, but Taxed, Wage Slaves" independence, but true independence. I want to be financially self-sufficient to the point that I can say: "I've got enough money in my bank account to keep me in Oreos, vodka, kimchi, and shotgun shells until the year 2112; so you can take your society and blow it out its own diseased asshole!" Then I'll lock myself in an attic for 5 years and live off of crackers and bottled water, while wandering around naked and grunting.
I'd also like to publish a book, but the top one is really the most important goal.

That was supposed to say "have", but it got stuck in my own brand of short-hand (C-SPAN and school work are distracting me. Fucking real world always fucking with my NS-time).
Alternately, I've just invented an exciting new definition for an old word, and by commenting you are standing in the way of progress.

The only reason I'd take that was to pawn it off for more, but it seems, based on my research, that much like a used car, the moment it enters my legal possession, the value depreciates by at least 1/3.....

No thank you, sir.

"Somewhat?" Hmmm. Get that MD and you'll have to beat the "somewhat's" off with a stick! :Dlol Well, I figure there is no point in me saying 100% perfect because I'm not delusional, but somewhat works.

Although, I hope I'll be beating them off with a stick for good reasons, I don't want rabid women attacking me. :p

I actually know my main 'want' in life is to sort out by far the one thing that, for me, makes my life a hell (and many of you will probably know what that is, so I won't elaborate).

Other than that...I don't know. Probably to do law, and be a solicitor.

A job that isn't Dog shit boring (like most people seem to have and study for) but one that totally rocks. Like Fighter pilot, or soldier. (Well I'm going off to basic training this fall, and I'm studying aviation on my own, so maybe some day in the future I can re muster...)

A female best friend with benefits, so I can have sex with a connection, along with frivolous, more random sex. (which I'll get by hanging out in the bar with my golden leg spreaders...er I mean wings pinned to my uniform saying I fly an F-18...or possible an F-35, if Canada does actually buy some)

a house/machine shop/aircraft hanger in an industrial area/airport, where I can make as much noise as I want, have tonnes of space, and not worry if my eggshell white paint gets a little stain on.

To die before I get old and decrepit and have ED. (I'm thinking late 40's early 50's)
