Granted. Your hard drive crashes and all of your external drives and flashdrives die. All that Whofic goes to waste. You see the light and start writing for us again. Julie

Granted! You were caught smoking in the girls room and are booted out of school. Now you've got a whole lot of weeks of vacation!
I wish I didn't have to do the taxes.

Granted. But now you're in jail for tax evasion. I wish I didn't like food so much (anyone sensing a theme yet? ) Yvonne

Granted! You hate food, but food falls in love with you. Now, everywhere you go, you're followed around by little pink muffins fawning after you and begging to be eaten.
I wish I could disappear for a week.

Edit: Granted. But something goes strange and now you are invisible forever.
I wish there were more hours in the day so I don't have to comtemplate skipping the rugby team this year for schoolwork.

Granted. But now school takes up 12 hours of every day instead of just seven. I wish my cat would stay still long enough to let me catch some of her cute poses on camera Wendy

Granted. But your camera breaks and now you can't get the cat to move from on top of your keyboard. I wish I had a time turner like Hermoine had in Harry Potter. Sara

Granted. But you give it a strong spin by accident and go back to the Jurassic era... and - uh oh - that t-rex doesn't look too happy with you. I hope you have invulnerabe skin.
I wish I wasn't beginning to get sick and feeling so lousy.

Granted, but your new found energy isn't infectious and you make everyone else feel lousy.

Granted. Feeling better is worth not having a nose, right?
I wish I had a better set-up in this apartment so that I could move around and do what I need to do (such as checking email and posting to the boards) without having to constantly worry about waking everyone up.
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

Granted. The combination of padded walls, padded floors and the earplugs you persuade your housemates to use mean that they can't hear a thing you're doing.
Unfortunately, they can't hear themselves, either. They yell at each other to be understood. They also turn up their music so loud that it blows out their speakers... but not before all the neighbours call the police, reporting your household for noise offences.
Pretty hard to check email in the slammer, isn't it?
I wish... I wish I didn't get so stressed about things.

Granted! But now you have a drug addiction.
I wish I didn't have to work this weekend and still got paid.

Granted. You'll work double-shifts next weekend, instead.
I wish that RL friend of mine would finally finish BRing that Harry Potter fic I gave her last September.
See ya, AnnaBtG.

Granted. But her view of the Potter fandom is not the same as yours, and her suggestions for what should happen with Hermione, Draco and Professor Snape leave you scarred for life. I wish that people who fail to inform unsuccessful interview candidates of the outcome of the selection process all lose their own jobs and have to go through the process themselves and realise how horrible it is...

Granted. But one of them wrote a book on the whole experience to help others and is now disgustingly rich.
I wish my room was clean.

Granted. Your room is completely clean. Everything went to garbage. Including your bed, your computer and all your printed-out fic I wish I had another week of vacations. See ya, AnnaBtG.

Granted. But now you can't find anything.
I wish I could work less and play more.

That tornado did a really great job of cleaning out all the clutter!
I wish I liked paperwork more.
Irene
I just noticed that you got three answers at once, Sara!
So, Anna, your school just closed its doors and you have all sorts of free time.
Yvonne, you do play more, but your bosses aren't happy with the 'work less' part of the equation and you suddenly have a lot more time to play!
I still wish I liked paperwork more.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.

Anna: Granted. You do, but it's because the school has burned down. Yvonne: Granted. You are made redundant. Irene: Granted. You now love paperwork. But your new job is as a snow-shoveller. I wish my desk was tidy. Wendy

Granted. Shame your computer and all your favourite Dr Who DVDs got thrown out in the tidy-up operation.
I wish...I wish...I could find some nice affordable furniture to fit my bedroom.
