Well, a girlfriend would be neat. I haven't had a date since *cough*.
GF would be good, I'd settle for the date.

I want a short bus, so I can travel with a handful of my friends nationwide.

We'd all paint the short bus really obnoxious colors/designs. Give it green and purple flames or something.

It has been a shitty week, so right now I desire to be Shiva, Destroyer of Worlds.

Things I Desire...

I desire not to be in pain every minute of every day. (I suffer from a degenerative joint condition that leaves me in anywhere from nagging unpleasantness to I'm not even going to try and get out of bed today. Pain is like Evil fuel.)

I desire to have the alterna-version of the Leave It to Beaver household. Wife, family, home, stability... just not so boringly whitebread. I might be greedy, but just having a girlfriend or having a date isn't enough for me - I'm at the point in my life I want something reliable or it's just another let down.

I desire to not be unlucky. Yeah, that's not happening.

I desire to own a car, because I'm sick and tired of riding a bicycle everwhere. Of trying to balance a week's worth of groceries from my handlebars. Of pedalling through a summer downpour to get to work. Of really knowing that there's no way you're going to attract someone when you explain you're so broke you don't even own a car. :ymsigh:

I desire to not need so much to desire after.

Heh. Was this meant to be ironic? I don't remember where you're from, so don't know whether "short bus" has the same connotations where you live than it does here...

Aw, darlin'...

If I had magical kisses, I really would kiss it and make it better.

Here, ridin' on the short bus usually means you're a classified "sped".

I don't need a big bus. I always thought those short buses were perfect for group-travel. :D

Speaking of buses, VW Bus for me. And a Prowler. And a Viper on the side. And a Smart Car for the weekend drives. Lifetime supply of rum cake, iced tea, hot cocoa, and ravioli, and French toast. Uh... my Creative Zen to be fixed so I can actually list to music when I don't have my laptop... At the very least, something interesting and life-altering in it's magnitude to turn my life around, instead of just failing out of college because I don't want to be here.

Hell, I might as well shoot the moon on this one.

I want a starship.

I’m not greedy. It doesn’t have to be a big one. Even a great one. Even a heavily armed one. Something in the light transport class would be fine. 200c minimum equivalent velocity would be desirable.

I was frickin' born too early. I blame superstition. :-w

I have all i desire for myself. That which i've lost, i cant get back.

I only desire happiness for my friends. To get a job, to perform well in their education, that their loved ones are happy, that their loves stop being fools, that they get through troubles and are better for it in the end.

i have no unfulfilled material desires that i can think of right now.

Now, wanting a starship is one thing, Retiarius. But messin' with THE LAW is yet another altogether! [-x

Otherwise, I'm all with you. On the born too early thing. I want to live in the future. Not just the near future. The real one. The one they keep telling us about...

Which law? Humans are good at finding ways to skirt laws, whether they are the ones they thought up themselves or those they’ve observed in nature. We’re kinda perverse that way, that’s why I still put up with us. :ymsmug:

Who are “they”? :-?

Constant speed of light in vacuum... /:) At least, I interpret "200c minimum equivalent velocity" as a drive that enables hyperjumps which are equivalent to at least 200 times light speed within space-time continuum. :-B

But while your at it, might as well go for a Puppeteer Mk II Quantum Hyperdrive, that gives you 500k c equivalent velocity. ;) And a General Products Hull is a must, of course.

And by "they" I mean dead dudes who will never get to see the future... RIP Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke... :((
