7. I've always played AT the guitar
Edited on Tue Jun-28-05 03:42 PM by ashling
but I wish I could really play.

Of course right now I would settle for being able to pay my mortgage and keep it out of foreclosure. Oh well, you can't have everything.

3. Ice skate like Yuka Sato
I used to skate but never very well. Oh to be able to glide across the ice like her ... forward, backward, to leap off the ice and practically fly ... *sigh*

4. Just one thing????????? I have many, but I would love to be able
to ice skate. Flying is pretty good too. I'd also like to go into outer space and look back at the earth and travel way, way far out into space. Maybe some day when I'm light, huh?

8. I'd like to fly also...
I have dreams where I can sometimes...

Occasionally, I must flap my arms and other times I only
have to concentrate.

9. Sing!
I can't carry a tune. Especially "Happy Birthday," which I find impossible to sing, and, of course, that's the song you have to sing most frequently.

I wish I had a voice like Etta James or somebody similar!

24. Swim,
I know it sounds stupid, but I never learned. I love the water, always went to the beach as a child, but never learned to swim. Was I overlooked as a middle child?

31. I always wanted to be able to transmit peace, love, and high self-esteem
And that every person I touched would pass it on. I figured eventually it would reach everyone on the planet and maybe we would stop having hate, intolerance, war, poverty...

Of course in doing that, no one learns it for themselves. I guess that's why it doesnt' work the way I wish it did.

Y'all can fly. If I could just stick to a workout routine, I'd be happy.
