I want to win the lottery. But short of being able to see the future and know what numbers will be drawn, it isn't likely to happen.
Impossible:
-Have a jet pack that is small, light, powerful, and very fuel efficient.
-Live in a world where anything I say goes, and I mean anything.
-Play FPS games without ever having to worry about laggy connections, bullshit, or assholes.
Possible:
-Go to the Escapist Expo.
-Be able to create flash animations.
That's about all I can think of at the moment.

Impossible:
1. Win the lottery for over $300 million.
2. Be one of the expert consultants on Bar Rescue.
Possible:
1. Become a world renowned fight choreographer.
2. Earn at least a seven-figures-per-year salary.
Though the last two might take a little bit, it is quite possible with some hard work.

Impossible:
1. Project a godlike avatar into worlds depicted in varying forms of media.
2.Time travel to go to events that I've missed(and preorder a solid gold edition of Persona 4)
Possible:
1.Draw something that actually looks good.
2.Get a job in the games industry.
Those last 2 are plausible but I don't really have any idea what i'm doing.

Move to Japan. I've got to wait until I get out of university though.
Seriously, I fucking hate living in the U.S.
(Yes, I am something of a weaboo thank you very much)

Live on campus
Make more friends at college
Have more structure and discipline in my life
Get really high. You know, like when you get the strobe thing is going, and it's more strobe than actual vision.
Get a job
Be better at drawing
Have more time to play my guitar.

I want to climb mount Kilimanjaro.
It's nigh on impossible with my heart condition though. Sigh.

I would love to write music for videogames, as i believe that good music can touch a person's soul and I would love to give someone else that same sense of euphoria I get when listening to something beautiful.
Sadly i don't believe i'd ever be able to get a job doing it so I don't think i ever shall.

I want to run a fashion blog, go to London fashion week, design and make my own clothes. Possible, but would require thousands of pounds for materials, not to mention a decent camera, domain etc. etc.
I want to run a small second hand bookshop out of my mum's house. Impossible. She still lives there, and the council will not allow a change in property license from residential to commercial.
I want to work at Disney World. Possible but highly unlikely, no professional training, not a US citizen.
Then there are the things I can do at any time, but I have chosen not to - either out of fear, laziness, responsibilities. I'd love to live in multiple different countries - if only for a few months at a time. I'd like to take up horse riding at a professional level again, I gave up when I was in my teens as sharing a horse made it difficult to advance and buying my own was more than my parents were willing to do. I have a guitar just sitting in the corner, waiting for me to tune and play it again. There's lots I want to do with my life, lots I already have done - life is one hell of an adventure!

I would love to work for a game or animation company.. or some kind of job where I would be involved in the development of stories as a character artist.. or something along the lines of art.
My skill levels are definitely not up to par yet. I'm working really hard on my own.. lots of studies, practises, working on portfolio pieces.
I also have to network a lot more, but it's really hard to with social anxiety.. seeing people wipe off their hands after I shake them or ask why I feel like the icy cold hands of death.. just ugh.
I'm trying really hard to work on that too... assess what went well and didn't go well on a daily basis.. combat my shyness and force myself outside of my comfort zone.. some days it's easy, some days it's absolutely crippling. I've started to consider anxiety medication or antidepressants, but I'm worried about long term effects... and what they might do to me blahhh.

I want to have a one night stand with a woman i find attractive . Impossible because i got 0 social skills , am not interesting and cannot for the life of me make small talk or any kind of talk with women , it's always obvious that any woman i talk to is because i want to have sex with them . Seriously , i think wearig a t-shirt with " i'm only talking to you because i hope for sex " would be less obvious.
I would also like to live alone on an island . I'm antisocial , as hate being around people . My worst days are days when random people talk to me for no reason . I dislike talking to anyone about anything . My best days are days i go around unnoticed . I currently started doing the graveyard shift at work , basically i make sandwiches and pizza's and place stuff at night in a grocery store , so everything is ready in the morning . I'm all alone , it's AWSOME.
I would also like to be able to start and resume time at will . I would be the biggest and best criminal of all time . At least i'm being honest , no way am i not using this power to my advantage .

The following is likely to lack any sort of lightheartedness and probably end up being depressing. Move on if that's not your thing.
I want to stand up and tell the human race that it's destroying itself and everything around it with its short-sighted devotion at best, and blind devotion at worst, to itself. To getting only what one wants, at the cost of all else, to greed, to dishonesty, to self-satisfaction, to righteous indignation, to everything that represents the worst of what we can be.
I want to tell them that none of it is necessary, even to get what we want. We can have so much to improve the quality of our own lives without going so far out of our way to destroy everything else in our paths. We can even make things better off for those pesky "obstacles"; we have the capacity to make the world whatever we want, and we choose to destroy it instead, to pollute it, to profit off of it, and off of each other.
I want to tell them that our insistence on grouping ourselves into camps to insult and demean the other camps is asinine and ridiculous, that the differing views should be welcomed as another take on things, that it shouldn't be about "winning", about proving how you're right and they're wrong, but becoming better as a whole, being willing to see the good in the opposing side, and take what you can from it.
I want to tell them that the change the unfortunate want, the will to stop being exploited by the fortunate, doesn't come from a politician in a suit promising it, but from within themselves, being willing to stand up and deny those that do wrong in their eyes the means with which to do it, rather than whisper about it behind closed doors, where it has no worth, no power.
I want them to listen. I want them to hear that the reason something is wrong might be because of something they did, and are doing, and that it is their responsibility to stand up and make right what they and those around them have done wrong, before it's too late.
And I want it to happen before it is too late, before there's no longer anything that can be done about it, when for all of our capacity for great things, for all of the great things we've already accomplished, and can still accomplish, we ultimately fall to the worst of ourselves, and take everything around us down for the ride.
I feel like the worst is yet to come, and I want the voice to help stop it somehow, because I feel like it won't be stopped unless someone says it in a way people are willing to hear. And I fear we've become so set in our self-righteousness, all of us, that there's no longer any way it can be worded that it can be heard, because we won't be willing to listen.
I'd also like to be able to accelerate the feeling of time. Cripes, my job is boring, so I'd like to just speed through the work day.

I wanted to study zoology or marine biology at university, but I was told the only jobs are in academia, studying pollution, or involve moving abroad. So I did electronic engineering, followed by software engineering instead.
I don't really regret it. I have a job I love, and I make enough money to live in a nice flat and buy video games. But every now and again I catch myself wishing I'd been able to actually enjoy university, instead of struggling through it with no social life and regularly ill from stress.

You don't need to create music for money in order to have it touch people. And there are lots of video game projects floating around in need of good composers.KINGBeerZ said:
