Everybody has stuff they want to do but they can't for one reason or another.
I'm sure we can all agree yes it is a bit witty to be saying things like "I want to fly, pesky gravity." Or some such. I simply ask for a.. bit more realistic answer to this question.
I digress.

I want to get myself a copy of V-Ray with Combustion and/or AfterBurn Plug-ins for 3Ds Max, but each cost within the realm of $700 or more.
Also while I'm wishing, I still hope I can go to Playland [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playland_(Vancouver)] this summer, but it costs a bit of money and I'd have to ask for time off and other such limitations.
And yourself?

I want to move out of Michigan but the housing market is in ruins and it is almost a given no one will buy this house I live in.

I want to rescue the American flag from being dishonored. It is being flown by the daughter of a Nazi sympathizer and Hitler worshipper, a daughter who never denounced her mother for it but I'm afraid I will go to jail for it. You know, stealing and all.

Well you could be a full time graphical artist and work as a slave to the gaming corporations.

I want to eat a ridiculous amount of cabbage every day to increase my reflexes, but...

Well, there's really nothing stopping me from doing that, now is there?

I want to eat nothing but carrots for two months and turn orange but I'm not sure i wouldn't accidently cause my kidney to explode or something.

This is not me being sarcastic. If you eat nothing but carrot for two months you turn orange and I desperatly want to but don't want to end up in a hospital or something.

I think you're kidneys would be safe. The rest of you, probably not so much unless you took vitamins or ate at least some other foods. That way you wouldn't need to be hospitalized for vitamin deficiency or anything. Also, you'd turn yellowish, not orange. People with too much keratin (the stuff that makes carrots orange) take on an appearance similar to jaundice, which is characterized by a yellowish hue. Sorry, but for orange, your best bet is a mix of carrots and tomatoes.

I want to be less sarcastic, but I can't because I typically talk first, think second. Which explains why I like the Internet; I get to write my thoughts down, then realize that it sounds too mean or stupid and erase them.

Also, I'd like to meet more people and be more social, but I'm rather shy and anti-social.

Well, that wouldn't be so bad. I suppose it might also lessen the vitamin defeciency thing cause I'd have a larger diet (from one vegetable to two!) I suppose I could also drink water and stuff cause that would be colorless.

You seem to know a lot about this, any suggestion on how to survive it? If I knew it wouldn't result in any permanent damage I would so do this.

I want to own one o' them fancy new next-gen consoles, or whatever the kids are callin' em' nowadays, but I'm broke. Not that I don't appreciate my PS2 and Xbox, I'm just saying.

The Internet: A place where all your seemingly useless information could come in handy.

I don't really know all that much about it, other than carrots will turn you orange in large enough quantities tomatoes can turn you red. Together I would assume you would be orange-ish. Maybe not though. Couldn't hurt to try though. Also, you could eat some other foods, just not in as large amounts, without upsetting the carrots' effects. The only thing that really matters is that the minerals or vitamins from the foods stay in your blood/body long enough to have the effect.

I'll look into it more, write more else later. Maybe just a PM. To the Google-mobile!

I want to move to the other side of the world, but I'm a wimp.

Anybody looking for a flatmate in the US, Canada or England? (I speak only two languages, English and Australian)
