I really wish I could:
Freestyle rap
-rap at all, for that matter
-play piano
-sell stuff-you know, be a salesman
-be married to a Canadian (woman)
-do a gainer off of the diving board
-catch a frisbee while doing a cartwheel
-cartwheel
-read fast
-sing with vibrato
-look under my car’s hood and have any clue what I’m looking at. So I could say, “Oh, crap. I’ve got a squid on the manifold.”
-beat my older, nerdier brother at video games. He always wins.
-cease to be afraid of auditions
-cease to be afraid of death.

I wish I could
—go back in time to the one time I really let my little brother down and not let him down.
—not have to worry so much about stuff I can’t control
—run like the wind
—fly
—have one extra day every week to read
—fully fund cino forever

I wish I could

-be black
-marry a Mexican (woman)
-play baseball like a pro, but choose not to
-stop sinning
-get together with all the regulars from CINO, regularly
-get all Christian churches united in Christ
-beat Grant at hoops
-turn the world upside down

I wish that if I ever had a wish that I wanted to wish that the wish would come true.

I wish I could…

~ know when my piano playing is good ~ do all the things a gymnast can do ~ say what everyone wants to hear and mean it ~ do that thing that hip hop artists do with their hands…you know, with the pointy fingers ~ speak fluent French ~ afford a $1000 bottle of wine ~ jump more than .00000001 inches off the sand in beach volleyball ~ wave my magic wand and clean my apartment ~ tell a joke

I wish I could:
*Always have a job I love
*Not be afraid of sounding cheesy when I post on cino
*Live close to my friends
*Be nice more often
*Sleep in more often, and have those perfect moments when you’re still lying in bed, deciding what to do with a Saturday morning.

*lose weight easily
*see without getting bi-focals
*write a book
*gather all my friends in one place
*meet some of you
*be an artist
*design and make an original quilt
*live on a mountainside
*own a ranch and ride the prairies horseback
*live closer to my sisters
*be alive when Jesus returns!

I wish that I …
- had more muscles
- could open an antique store
- could paint my woodwork white
- never be annoyed with my husband
- take a European vacation once a year
- adopt every dog at the Humane Society
- find out what happened to my old dog I had to give up for adoption
- give birth without pain
- could wiggle my nose and get whatever I wanted … namely cool clothes
- be more handy around the house … you know, build stuff

I wish:

• that I knew all of your real names
• that I could ballroom dance, country swing dance, and dance like Brittany
• that I wouldn’t look so obvious when I get nervous
• that I would never get nervous again
• that I knew why a good book was a good book
• that I would have learned more in college
• that I could talk to animals
• that I was really good at sign language
• that I always said smart things

I wish:

-I had 2 feet when dancing, not 4 left feet going in all different directions
-I wish I could adopt all the kids without a home
-I wish I could have a big dog
-I wish my fiance lived in the same time zone
-I wish I could get the fax machine to work everytime I need it to
-I wish I had rhythem (spelling?)
-I wish the justice system worked every time
-I wish domestic violence never happens

I just discovered this. I wonder where I was last August!

-I wish I had more time to:
spend with my family
read more books
hike the appalachian trail
play tennis at a 5.0 level
have a single digit handicap at golf
learn French
learn to play the accordian
go to culinary school
climb more trees
find every cool spot in this state and then the country and then the world
-I wish I wasn’t such an accomplished procrastinator, because then I would more than likley have enough time to do most if not all of this stuff.
