My draft notice came in the mail today. I'm not going to the army, nor doing civil service. That means I'll have to go to jail. Probably.
I say probably because I might get off on a medical. I was diagnozed with epilepsy when I was around 7, and was put on meds for a few years. It hasn't actually manifested itself in any way for years, but I guess I'm at risk... So I hope they accept that as an excuse not to go.
Oh.. A top 5?
I don't really want much else... Except maybe a little freedom for a change. I wish I didn't need to wade through highschool.

We do not have freedom. We have rules and oppression and where the oppression is less visible we believe to have found freedom.

Na, you see, I do want to go to art school, but in most cases that means I have to pass high school first...
Oh well, the system might change before I need to actually do anything about it... I can probably get my service postponed by several years even if I do have to go, and since refusing to take part is done when your service is supposed to start, that gives me another few years if the system still hasn't changed. (The 'court process' - if you want to call a sentence that's predetermined and that you can't defend yourself against in any way that - can be delayed quite a lot with appeals and such.)
But first I'll see if The Man wants me to go at all.

Not necessarily in that order, and any of them will do.

Draft huh? i think we did away with that one damn near 30 years ago...
Top 5 things I want:
1. Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi on DVD. They can keep the Phantom Menace.
2. To get into fucking film school.
3. A killer scanner. Can you guys suggest one for the Mac?
4. Nikon Coolpix 990
5. Nabokov's "Lolita". I lost my copy before I got a chance to read it.

1. A girlfriend
2. More Time
3. A roommate (if I can't find one to replace the one moving out I will have to move back home ouch!)
4. Some of the artful skill that others on this forum have and I lack
5. And I just wish everyone could get along and be happy (not just on the forum but everywhere)
Oh and spitfire why in the world would you want more sleep? Noting would ever get done. I for one am always trying to sleep less. Buckminster Fuller accomplished so much in his lifetime because he worked out a system of napping 30 minutes after every 6 hours. I heard that Da Vinci had a similair system so he could stay up more and get more work done.

Material things I want:
1) a foxy girl
2) better art skills
3) mini disc player
4) New computer
5) Cable modem
Other stuff I want:
More time, and true freedom (not bound by unwritten laws). What I mean is similar to the quote in affected's sig:
"We do not have freedom. We have rules and oppression and where the oppression is less visible we believe to have found freedom"
I also don't want work and all that crap. Blah blah...

Sleep=good.
Sleep=nice.
Sleep=warm.
Sleep=safe.
Sleeping gives one the opportunity to let go of the stress and confusion and anxiety of daily life and drift away in a world of absolute nothingness. Mmmm... *wuvs sleep*
Also the psychological value of sleep is pretty big. Since sleeping usually is the bridge between 'today' and 'tomorrow'. Every tomorrow is a new day, a new opportunity, a new chance. If you're screwed over, beaten up, fired, threatened and dumped on monday, you know that tuesday will bring a new day, in which you can try all over again. /me likes.
*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
Shhh.... dont wake him.

"The Tale of Cringle"
'Santa Can Can' and 'Noogy Van Dingle'
...These are the names of the heads of Chris Cringle.
He's two-headed and large,
got a yell like the sarge,
Commutes on a barge
with his dragon named Marge!
He's watching and checking
- he's looking at you
Better not ask for too much
or you'll end up with poo.
Whether stupid or brilliant
or some kind of savant,
he's deciding which to give
from the things that you want...
So be nice and play good
and maybe he'll strike
with a girlfriend or knick-knack
Palm Pilot or bike!
"But I asked for some girls!"
Weaseled little brat Domm,
"Can't you give me some mooooore?"
He cried to his mom.
"No you little tyke!"
Cried Noogy Van Dingle,
"You get what you deserve,
and you'll always be single!"
"Oh come now" said Santa
in all of his glory,
"That's no way to treat kids
in this star-spangled story..."
"Ahhhh fu** that!" cried Dingle
as he bellowed and screamed,
"Can someone please tell me
how on EARTH we were teamed?!"
"It's not like we make gifts
we're too stupid and dumb...
- Their stockings are already
filled up when we come!"
"SHHH!" said Santa Can Can
as he danced with his blokes,
"We don't want all those kiddies
to know we're a hoax!"
After groaning and grumbling
they set out for some fun,
upon deciding they liked
two heads better than one.
That is the beginning
of our tale for St. Nick,
the big fat pretender
who flies on a stick...
Keep writing your list
no matter what's said
heed not to what happens
but to your heart and your head!
-k (urisu in the hat)

What i want eh? believe it or not its true...
1.) I want a perfect world; piece, no pollution, one country, one currency, one name, not one leader, no strict rules... i want people to realise what they have done is either bad or good, and use their common sense to determain if to do something or not! (which probably will be achieved, the easy or the hard way... most likely when we colonize another planet, eg. mars).
2.) I want money, not for good living, but so i can achieve something in life, and maybe even slightly change the world and die educated, experienced and remembered!
3.) I dont want there to be cheats!! (hehe ruin the gameplay!) I want everyone to cooperate, everyone to work as a team and give out their best. I wish everyone was nice and your friend. I wish everything was free, after all, money is only a resource wasted by ourselves and others. We only buy what is already our's.
4.) I want to be considered for what I am inside and not for what i am on the outside. I want to be judged by my skill and not by my experience. I want to have equal authority as anyone else and not be considered inferior. I want a fair chance!
5.) I want there to be no limits, no restrictions, no laws! I want there to be unlimited options and customizations. I wish there was no death and no birth. I wish we all appeared equal and from that point on it was your responsability to become what you will be.
-- I'd give up my life to have the above come true --

Same as A.Buttle:
1)Get into a film school. Preferably this one place in Finland, but if that doesn't pan out, England will do.
2)Live long enough to make at least one movie. Don't care if no one goes to see it and it fails miserably, but I just want to be able to say "I have made a film that I am proud of".
3)Peace on earth, good will towards all people blahblahblah... Y'know, the usual.
4)Money might be nice too, actually. (could BUY my way into a good university)
5)Hmm... An ADSL, a new leather jacket, possibly a tattoo of sorts, a trip to America and Japan, social skills, higher threshold for pain, a sense of purpose and meaning for life, a new computer, movie tickets, a car, a motorcycle, a better TV/video/DVD combo, a new hifi-system, more&more&more&more of STUFF! Materialism rules ok.

Well, this one'll take some thought...
Too bad it isn't "Which 100 things do you want the most."
1. Jennifer Love Hewitt in my bed.
2. All the original Beatles Albums. (LPs, 8-tracks, etc.)
3. Musical talent.
4. All those crazy people like Bin Ladin to leave us alone.
5 Wait! Two Jeniffers!! |

I want to know " das Ding an sich " the thing as itself.
Sometimes I get this feeling that all this is unreal, that there is something *just* out of my reach. It's just that i can't get to it because i don't want to, like i was sitting in a bathtub, not having the energy to get up.
I really want to know.
