Granted. But the weight-loss doesn't stop at ten pounds, and before you know where you are, you've disappeared in a puff of unwritten fanfic ideas.

I wish *I* could lose half a stone or so.

Yvonne

Granted. Unfortunately it's not merely half a stone but a 22-foot-tall pile of stones that your crazy landscape-minded neighbor mistakenly dumped at the end of your driveway, and you realize it's going to take a 92-decible scream for either a dump truck or Superman to get you to work on time this morning.

(yeah, I know what half-a-stone you're talkin' about---something like 6 pounds. which won't buy you lunch in christopher's street anyway. )


I wish I lived in a warmer climate.


by the way, people! this has been loads of fun! my El Camino is the envy of the 'hood!

Done. You now live in the Sahara.

I wish I was irresistible to women.....

Granted. Did you ever see that episode of Buffy where a horde of women chased after Xander with axes because they were all infatuated with him, all wanted him, and would kill him rather than let him be with anyone else...

Stick with that thought.

I wish...there were more hours in a day so that I could go write now instead of having to go to bed...

LabRat

Granted, but first you'd need to find a way to make time a definite forth dimension rather than it being a theoretical one.

I wish I could win the lottery

Granted: you could...but you don't.

I wish for an iPod nano!

Granted. Too bad it's not compatible with your computer's operating system, and you can't put any songs in it.

I wish I didn't find the Advanced Chemistry exercises so hard.

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Granted! Now you can't find them at all!

I wish I'd hear from the university.

Granted! The entire campus is now a living being. Several tons of pavement wish to have a little chat with you about the way you're constantly walking over them, wearing them down, dirtying them, etc. Good luck.

I wish that a large asteroid with a nickel/iron/magnetite core would pass by (without crashing into) the Earth, closely enough that the combined gravitational and magnetic forces would pull the planet just a little further back in its orbit, neatly offsetting the effects of global warming.

Granted. Unfortunately, it's off by just a smidgen, pulls just a little too hard, and plunges the planet into another ice age.

I wish we could keep Christmas trees up all year round.

Granted -- you can. But the rest of the world will think you're just a little off your rocker.

I wish Emilie and I could slip past this whole engagement thing and just get married, but without upsetting or inconveniencing anyone.

Granted. You can. Eloping doesn't really inconvenience anybody.

However, to make sure that your friends and relations are not upset, you have to find somebody to brainwash and hypnotise them all. This is very expensive and bankrupts you, and it turns out to be far more hassle than any engagement could ever have been.

Oops. Who forgot to 'do' Great Aunt Edna...?


I wish I liked housework.

Chris

Granted, but now you've become obsessive compulsive and have scrubbed a great big hole in the floor that you've been working at for 48 hours.

I wish I was pretty enough for Dean Cain to do a double take.

granted! you are spending a lovely date with Dean Cain in a posh restaurant.

...and then a peeved Lois Lane walks in and sees you with what seems to be...her husband.....

I wish the special trip to work today hadn't resulted in a blown out tire and my car in the shop now. darn el caminos.....

Granted. It didn't. You got to work all right, unlike all your other colleagues, and your boss made you do all the work on your own. You won't be going home anytime soon.

I wish I had a copy of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" in English.

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Granted. Except Harry waved his wand and now you can't read English.

I wish I hadn't just eaten that piece of baklava (see previous wish about losing weight ).

Yvonne

Granted. The baklava ate you, instead.

I wish my advisor realized students aren't officially back yet and didn't demand we do work....

Granted. But then by the time your first assignment is due you realise you wished you'd worked earlier so you'd be able to finish and pass!

I wish I wasn't such a procrastinator.


Wendy <-- former university professor

Granted! But you finish everything so fast these days you run out of things to do and spend hours staring at the wall.

I wish I had a big bowl of icecream.

Granted. But it's so hot over there that the icecream melts instantly and turns green.

I wish the students would remember they're not supposed to be back yet and stop bugging me for stuff.

Yvonne
