The thing you will always want, but can never have.

[AnotherAvatar]

Unquestioned freedom of speech.


Also cyberpunk implants, flying cars, and trips to '80s European sci-fi worlds ala Moebieus.

You know you never realize how empty your life is until you think about all the things you don't have.

Sigh.

 

[MrMixelPixel]

A perpetually clean room.

Is that soo much to ask?

That, or the energy to clean it whenever it's dirty.

 

[Vuavu]

To be the chosen one... Of anything. Haha it's partly narcissistic and partly a drive to do something important that will effect the world. The whole 'tragic, desperate, romantic lone hero' thing has always struck a chord with me

EDIT: Aaaaand... Time travel. Of course I would be warned time and time again not to 'mess with the past' but my curiosity will always win

 

[deserteagleeye]

To fly like Superman without freezing my nipples off.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

A ride in the Space Shuttle.
*cries*
Hopefully the ISS will still be up if I ever get into space.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

I want to be mentally healthy. It's never going to happen. I am bipolar and it stops me working, it destroys my friendships and it steamrollers my self-esteem.

I would give so much to be just be healthy.

 

[almostgold]

For Firefly to get renewed.... I know, let it go...

 

[Doclector]

See, because i'm far too ugly to get a girlfriend

And that's why you don't have a girlfriend. There are some really ugly motherfuckers with girlfriends that aren't as ugly as their girlfriend (s) are. Just open your mouth and talk to a few girls every now and then. And if she turns her nose up and walks away, then move on. She wasn't worth it.

over, and over, and over again, a never ending cycle of rejection and public humiliation, perhaps with some of them calling in their roid rager friends to make the horrible thing go away. Way to self destruct what little confidence I have. And besides even if, in modern Britain, there existed people who gave a s*** about anything beyond looks, I ain't the worlds greatest charmer. I can barely make a girl laugh, that's about it.

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. If it's any consolation, I know what you're talking about. But the only way to actually learn how to talk to girls is to, well, talk to girls.

Besides, who are you talking to? The drop dead gorgeous superficial cheerleader? Bah, she isn't worth it.

Nah, my feelings ain't hurt, I just tend to use the whole grumpy bastard thing to try and make it at least a little witty when I start sounding like a gorram emo.

 

[manic_depressive13]

I want people to stop slaughtering and consuming animals when it's not remotely necessary. It would also be nice if people stop slaughtering other people, but both are rather unattainable ideals.

 

[Scarim Coral]

What I want is to live by myself and to be financially secure. That way I can live out my life worried free but that not going to happen anytime soon.
Well it's either that or have superpowers (without any negative traits).

Which ecosystem used frsgne?

 

[smokingplane]

A bugatti veyron.

 

[ExileNZ]

That one thing I want but can't have?

That sweet spot between time and money. When I've got the time I haven't got the money, so I have to chase after work. When I've got work, I've only got a couple of hours left in the day, which mostly go to my wife. And laundry. And dishes. And vacuuming.

 

[hazabaza1]

I'd really like the last few years of my life back.
<youtube=x8fQ3L_XPOk>

To be a Super Saiyan. Oh come on! Don't tell me you haven't tried it at least once?

.>

OT: I dunno. Talent? Like, useful talents, not just being able to speak really fast for long periods of time, which instantly vanishes as soon as more than 5 people are watching me.

Looking at your badges, I'd say you have one talent: avoiding mod wrath.
Sounds pretty dam useful to me.

Got 4 strikes on my health bar! Just one more and I get that very first suspension, and so the spiral into the depths of all long time escapist posters begins.

 

[robot slipper]

yeah unrequited love is mine too. Forever in the FRIEND ZONE with the guy in question.

Amen! I am perpetually in the Friend Zone.

And yeah, it is a looks thing too with me OP. Don't worry, one day us ugly folk will take over the world with our nice personalities and kindness that never gets us any lovin'!

Anyway, I would like a magic car that runs on water or something and doesn't ever need to be serviced and has magic tyres that are impenetrable to nails. And a special law that makes owners of magic cars pay less road tax and insurance.

 

[DannyJBeckett]

To fly like Superman without freezing my nipples off.

That would imply you can already fly like Superman, you just keep getting cold. If that's true, then just wear a vest or a t-shirt underneath the spandex.

OT: Me? I'd love to be Ghost Rider. Flesh melting off every night? Skeleton on fire? Can see the sins of everyone who's ever sinned? I don't care ,it'd be so cool!

 

[godofallu]

I want a horse, and a motorcycle. Unfortunately both would require upkeep costs such as insurance and food and gas. They would also require storage. One of those things also shits everywhere.

 

[trollnystan]

I want many things I know I'll probably never have - a writing career, to experience falling in love, to live to see true peace on Earth, etc - but them things are kind of boring so I'll pick space travel. Not the kind we have now, but the Star Trek/Star Wars/(or even) Firefly type space travel. THAT would be freaking AWESOME.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

To be a Super Saiyan. Oh come on! Don't tell me you haven't tried it at least once?

I could take or leave the hair honestly, I just want the flight and teleportation powers. Other than that there are a few things like, to try New Coke and Crystal Pepsi (is it obvious that I was born before I could have tasted those?) There are some games too like a 1991 Nintendo Championship gold cart or all four Atari Swordquest games. It would be nice to be fluent in all spoken, Earthly languages too now that I think about it.

 

[CRRPGMykael]

OHMYFUCKINGGOD, FINALLY, A TOPIC THAT LETS ME TALK ABOUT SOME WEIRD STUFF I DIDN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT BEFORE.
I am of course, referring to female nudity (or male or intermediate if you're into that sort of thing). For example, you see a hot chick in a bikini or whatever and you're like "damn, I'd tap that" but the moment you see her naked it loses all interest. You should always WANT to see someone naked but never get to actually see it. Yeah, you can go back to watching porn now, you bastard.

 

[ace_of_something]

I want a goddamn jetpack. One that works like it does in a cartoon. Jetpack, I fear I will never have you. Hang gliding is close and awesome and all, but it's no jetpack.
