Tell me what you want





I'll tell you what I want,
what I really, really want.



I want a purple streak in my hair
and to find my own special sense of flair.


I want a tiny tattoo in a hidden place
and I want to drape a canopy bed in lace.


I want to pack my bags and go live somewhere exotic
to watch sunsets and listen to waterfalls until I'm drunk and hypnotic.

I want to write and write and write until I find myself
and never end up boring and old on a dusty shelf.



Tell me what YOU want,
what you really, really want.

I had the weekend all to myself, well I want the whole week to myself now, no work, and just do what I want to do :) Good to dream sometimes!

LOVE this, Rhea...

I want to fly to an exotic place and sit next to you on the plane. (That would trump Ida-Ho, you know.)

And GET THE TATTOO. You now how I feel about mine.

I want to go lay on a bed with crisp, white sheets inside of a sunlit, bright bedroom that faces the sea on an exotic island. I want to feel the tepid breeze through my hair, hitting my face just right, while propped up with three or four pillows and eating cadbury chocolate eggs. Oh, and I never gain one pound while doing so.

$500 grand would be nice too.

Roxane said...

I want a 5 day weekend, a 2 day work week and the winning lottery numbers :)

I want Posh spice to smile.

And I want to sprinkle fairy dust on my food so that it will take away the calories.

And I want to travel to exotic locales, too...

Sitting in Matt Damon's lap
And then maybe a nap.

I better stop! I could go on and on. Thanks for the five minutes dreaming session.

I want my stepdaughter to apologise to her Dad and ask him alone to walk her down the aisle, sadly I know it won't happen!

Now knowing you, we can expect that purple streak to appear soon!

CrystalChick said...

I want to catch up on blogging and blog reading. I managed to post today but who knows when that will happen again. I get to visit some of my favs each day but certainly not all. :*(
I want to get my house really clean. Ah, but then a few days later it will be messy again.
I want to learn how to ride a motorcycle. I'm too afraid right now, but some day it would amaze my husband. He rides. It's all out of my comfort zone now, but never say never, right??

Have a nice day!

p.s. How are you liking LOST these days?? I'm still loving it!!

Practically speaking, I want to get the job I am going on a 2nd interview for today. But I also want to continue to pursue teaching cooking lessons from my home at the same time so that in a few years that's all I do. Haven't mentioned that to anyone yet but what the heck.......

Fantasy speaking, your idea sounds great - exotic place, cocktails in hand, waves of the ocean crashing, Happy hour at a tiki bar every minute of the day. Sunsets lasting for 1 hour. Ahhh..............

To move to Alaska. More than anything I've ever wanted in the whole wide world.

Somedays I feel like we are close.. and other days I feel like life just keeps stackin the chips against us.

I want everyone to LEAVE. ME. ALONE. Really... to GO. AWAY. FAR. AWAY. Just long enough for me to miss them... then they can come back....

I want to see Rhea's purple streak in her hair, cuz I love Rhea and I love purple.

I want a really awesome zoom lens for my camera and an awesome photo printer.

I want Martina McBride's new CD (LOVE that woman).

I want to apply for the job that just opened (it's all photography, but my conscience won't allow me to consider leaving the department I'm in now... Or, better yet, I want to make money with nature photography because it's what I truly love more than anything.

I want more belly button rings :-P

I want a purple dragonfly or butterfly necklace.

I want to visit Tammy in Canada and then take her with me to Australia for a dream vacation.

I want to go fishing with and hiking with my daddy and the wolf... NOW

OK, OK I'll quit sabotaging your comments now.
