"No greater good/ world peace stuff"

Wow, this is a tough question... well if I could have ANYTHING... I guess I would choose to change a few things. 

I want
my dad to not have broken his hip when
I was three and he fell
I want
my best friend's mom to
have survived cancer
again
I want
my grandmothers dog to not be so burdened with problems
like her owner

I want
my brother and I to get along better-- not just
like hugs and stuff but like
actually getting along-- playing
tag and hide and seek
like we used to, having these
actual meaningful conversations, no matter how long

I want
to talk to my aunt in
California-- she never visits
I want
my cousin to have not
divorced her first husband-- he had a
Scooby doo bowling ball
I want
a lot of things I know I cant have...

Including stuff
Just. For. Me.

If I could get
anything--
just for me

It'd be
a slide from my room to downstairs
I've always wanted one of those

It'd be
to learn how develop film photography
you know, the "old fashioned way"
it sounds so cool
and the pictures look so pretty

It'd be
to go to one of those week-long summer
music festivals
where all the bands are on my play list
at home

It'd definitely be
to have one of those ladders on wheels and a track
attached to a huge bookshelf

I'd want to visit
Santorini, Greece, where
the buildings are all
white
and blue roofs on
some
with the gorgeous
water and
view from the cliff

Last
but most certainly not least
And don't judge me on this one
I need to have some star
in here somewhere
I'm a teenage girl--

I'd want
to visit the set of Sherlock and meet
Benedict Cumberbatch and
Martin Freeman
Because they are amazing actors
in and out of the show
And I don't mind a
British Accent
:)

Two characters we have met this year that have really wanted something are Tambu and, well I guess I could say Piggy.  Tambu wanted an education.  She didn't want to be this wife her whole life-- she wanted to learn and get a job. I liked her ambition and her willingness to move out and live with her uncle and how hard she focused and tried at her studies.  She was going to start living like an Englishman and she was going to accept lots of their culture while trying to retain her own culture, which was nice.  She wasn't going to forget anything, she was just going to make more memories.

I say Piggy because he wanted to fit in.  He didn't want to be a group outcast the whole time and he was such a nice person and I liked his courage to stand up, even if it took a while, and say what he thought and how he stuck by it.  Even though he died, he was a great character who wanted to fit in and would stick with people nice to him to be heard and belong.
