Things I've always wanted (but was too afraid to admit)

A truck
I think trucks are wasteful. Every time I see one rolling down the freeway, I think of the amount of pollutants in the air. Regardless, I always thought it would be neat to have a truck. I own a motorcycle, and owning even just the tiniest pick-up truck would save me from at least one tow job every year. I wouldn't have to be worried about moving, and going to the swap meet would be a lot easier. Certainly I wouldn't drive it everywhere, just when my motorcycle would be down. It would make my life easier.

A Law Degree
I'm afraid of legal loopholes. Anytime I get in a fight with someone, I feel like I could be sued. Dealing with apartment complexes would be easier, buying things would feel safer. People don't mess with lawyers. I don't want to be messed with, manipulated, or cornered because I didn't know the law. The law may be the one thing I am most afraid of because there are laws for EVERYTHING. It should be that the law was there to protect the common good, to harm those with bad intentions and to let the ones with good intentions go, but no, it is mostly used as a money making machine. I mean... geez, think of police officers. They aren't perched on the side of the road so they can prevent a little girl from being kidnapped or raped. They are perched on the side of the road to brutally fine every little girl that forgot to register her car.

Oh, but I never would want to be a lawyer. There wouldn't be an easier way to deal with riffraff than to become a lawyer.

An exercise machine
.... So I wouldn't have to go to a gym. It would be convenient, yes. A quick half hour workout doesn't have to be a one hour event to include walking to and from, taking a shower, and changing. I could also knock it out of the way when I wake up or go to sleep, not break my day with it. Mostly I would want an exercise machine so I wouldn't have to deal with all the people at the gym. I wouldn't have to stare at the most beautiful women in the world get even more beautiful as they glisten and chat vivaciously with their other beautiful friends. I wouldn't have to bear them look at me while I change and shower. Finally, I wouldn't get that gross-out feeling when I subtly notice some guy staring at my breasts when I'm on the elliptical machine. Normally I would scoff at someone being too afraid to go somewhere because of slight unpleasantness, but after just a few weeks of going, these things make me dread going to the gym. Also, I always thought that I was tougher than that. Some guy look at me? I should be flattered. I didn't think I was one of those ninnies who was destined to join an all female gym. Its either that, or get my own exercise machine.


A Massive Birthday Party
I tend to shy away from parties lately. I don't know how to act at them and I always end up feeling alienated and uncomfortable. However, I want that big spectacle of a party just for me. Its hard to organize, and going only half way would be soul crushing. Too bad.. oh too bad. Its unrealistic even to dream about.

A twin sister.
Impossible, I know. Who can resist the idea of having a friend forever, someone who will share every single moment of your life with you?
